PRESIDENTIAL PREDICTIONS.
Roosevelt Will Go Round the World
and Hunt Big Game.

The other day Golfers Weekly
made prophecy in regard to the fu-
ture OF the President. 1t said that he
would probably enlarge the scope of
his hunting expeditions and possibly
go to India to get n shot at tiger or
lion. 1t predicted that all the luck
would be on his side and that tiger
skin would eventually grace his col
lection.
The Leadyille Herald Democrat has
already gone on record in the matter
of predicting what the President will
do when he retires fIo;n the White
House. 1t is somewhat in line with
Golfers. We are quite certain, says
the Herald Democrat, without having
any definite information, that when
the President leaves the cares of pub
lie Office he will make an extended
tour around the world. That is the
oniy logical and natural thing for him
to do. He is easily the foremost man
in the eye of the world today He is
peculiarly admired and praised by
every sovereign of Europe. He him.
self. as we understand II. has never
been abroad, and he will naturally
want to see what there is TO be seen
on the planet. Incidentally of course
he would go tiger hunting in India and
lion hunting in Africa, for we believe
that the trip will take him not only
along the regulation paths of tourist
travel, but into the hooks and crannies
of the globe where white men do not
often go on personally conducted
tours.
We guess this prediction is all right.

BREAKING DOWN OF iNsrEps
How to Avoid This Most Painful All

Physicians have given a name to a
comparatively new ailment In "nat
foot or breaking down OF the arch of
the instep. This trouble is supposed to
be caused by SO much going I'D and
down stairs to elevated trains and
jumping OF cars. The small bones
which unite to form the arch OF the
foot sink downward slowly or sudden
u, as the case may be.
The bones OF the instep are many.
and when from excessive mounting of
stairs, stepping down from moving
cars or other strains these bones lose
their cohesive power and sink down
they bring the arch under instead OF on
The top OF the foot. The muscles Of the
foot have no power to lift these small
bones into their place and sink with
them. The pain is excrucisting even
for some time before the breakdown
and is nearly always mistaken for
rheumatism.
About the best remedy for this too
common trouble is to avoid Il by step
ping squarely on the foot ana above all
by having the shoes made with a de-
cided curve under the instep and hav-
Ing this part OF the shoe made very
strong and solid. This supports the

How 60 wafer rInnt.

Watering plants is really an art that
few understand, says a writer I'm the
New York Telegram. Many women
give them little drinks every day and
because the earth on top is moist think
that the roots are being well provided
FOR. But daily sprinkling is not bene-
ncial as n rule. The watering times
had better be less often and thorough
than once IN twenty-four hours, when
only the upper soil is wet and the
roots are left thirsty. 1 believe In the
old fashioned way OF immersing the
plants IN n bucket or big tub full OF
water at temperature that will not
chill and let them stay for several
hours until there can be no doubt that
the water has penetrated 10 the very
bottom, where most OF the roots gath
er. The best time to do this Is In the
morning, SO that most or the moisture
will have had time TO be absorbed or
drained or before the cold OF the night
can chill the plants. One way OF wash
Ing or the leaves and at the same time
watering the roots is to place the plants
under a faucet and turn on q small
spray. This is decidedly beneficial, for
IL falls on them just as rain does.
Whenever IL is possible put the potted
plants outdoors, so they can be rained
on, Tor person can almost see them
grow after such n wetting from nature.
