the sole, as small portion of air does
manage to enter the upper part of the
shoe and ventilate the ankle. 1t has
been said that the foot should re-
ceive as much ventilation as the
hands and equally as much care and
attention. 1t would be impossible to
ventilate the foot except with some
such apparatus as that shown here,
the invention of an Argentine man,
and recently patented in the United
States. In this apparatus for the in
terror ventilation of the foot there is
a combination of an air suction and
COMPRISING device arranged inside
the heel. A system of levers tends to
increase the mechanical effort of the
natural action Of the foot in walking.
Inside the shoe are also tubes for the
circulation Of Washington Star.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK FINE.
Manufacturers and Farmers Tell the
Same Story OF Prosperity.

Same story OF prosperity.
New York City.-There is a re-
markable unanimity of opinion as to
the basic soundness and early i'm
provement of the business conditions
Of the country in all trades and in
dustries, among business men in all
sections of the country, in sympo-
SUM which appears in the current
number of American Industries, the
official organ of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers.
From all sections comes the report
that crops have been unusually good
and prices for farm products, up to
the beginning of the recent financial
depression. Fully three-quarters of
the writer's express themselves firmly
of the belief that the depression,
when over, will be found to have been
the best thing for the country, after
all.
The same story of good times
ahead, and shortly ahead at that,
comes from representatives of the
metal, machinery, agricultural i'm
plement, tool and hardware, textile,
paper and printing, leather, lumber,
chemical, drug and vehicle trades
and from manufacturers of food pro-
ducts. Even in the jewelry trade,
where financial disquietude is likely
tc be early in evidence, the manufac-
tnrers say business is picking up and
that normal conditions will soon be
revived. One piano manufacturer
says that, though the article in which
he deals is considered by many as a
luxury, revival of the fine business
which characterized the first ten
months of 1907 is in sight.

Admiral Brownson at once gave rise

That was denied vigorously by Sec

criticisms had nothing whatever to
do with Admiral Brownson's action,
which was entirely personal matter
between him and the President.

The advantage Of placing the teeth

tion with Haussling-Talk About
Home Rule.

Mayor F. w. Gnlchte1, of Trenton. a
by Governor Stokes to compile munich
pal laws of the State, called on Mayor
Jacob Haussling, in the Newark City
Hall today, and had a lengthy confer
ence on charter revision. Mayor
Gnichtel is visiting the heads of all
the municipalities in the State to OBJ
tain their Views on local home rule in
city affairs
The commission made some sugges-
tions to the last Legislature along the
line of allowing each municipality to
make its own charter without the aid
of the Legislature, with the exception
of the matter of taxes and the issuance
of bonds. 1t was along these lines
that the two mayors talked.
The Legislature can pass general act
authorizing cities to regulate their internal
affairs In accordance with the ordinances
drawn by the local governing bodies; in
fact, for true home rule and it is this
for which Mayor Gnichtel and the COM
mission are working.
The conference today was merely in
formal, Mayor Haussling did not commit
himself TO the scheme.
Later City Clerk James r, Connolly had
talk with the Trenton Mayor and ex-
pressed himself well pleased with the
scheme suggested.
This act of the Legislature giving the
cities the right to govern themselves
would In itself be the charter, and the
affairs would be practically arranged by
ordinances.

After working hard for many weeks
the clerks in the city tax office have

That the increase in the city tax

of $1.70 or possibly of s1.69, as
several points have been taken
off the county rate. According to the
present outlook, the city ratables will
be approximately $296, 10000 this year,
and the tax rate would be about
$1.1S7 per $1D0, while the deduction of
about a point and a half in receipts
expected from the poll tax, will make
the probable total city rate about
$117, and this with the county rate.
which it is expected will be about So
or So, will make the total burden for
the taxpayers about $1.70. or possibly
$3.50. If $1.69 is realized it would be
reduction of five points from last
