Lawyer Peabody Says Thaw
Will not be Placed Upon
the Stand.

New York, Feb. 2.--Detect!ves
today are investigating the records
of all Thaw Jurors and there Is a
likelihood that one or more be
dropped, when the trial is resumed,
Monday.
Thaw is believed TO have obtained
a slight advantage In the selection
of the jury. No juror was accepted
who was not satisfactory to every
lone of Thaw's counsel and to the
defendant With one exception,
John s. Dennee, all jurors are
married.
Lawyer Peabody denied the report
printed that Thaw will take the
stand for himself. "That bridge we

behalf as ~

Health and Beauty.

The springtime has a notable effect
upon the human body. Tho harmless
little IN known as Spring fever" seems
to about cover all the various ways in
which the system is disturbed. Among
the disconforts Of this season there is
considerable annoyance from the feet.
They swell and burn and grow very
tired and weary. Because Of the pres
sure against the shoes there is a great
deal OF pain IL such q thing as corns
is present.
Because these Ills are not serious is
no reason why the discomfort should
not be relieved. The first thing to be
considered is the shoes. At the earliest
sign Of fever in the feet lighter shoes
should be put OK; also from quarter
to a half size larger. A gOod plan is
to wear low shoes. and II the weather
is cool protect the ankles with CATERS.
These are better than hiSh shoes. be-
cause the feet are freer ana there is
better ventilation. Change the shoes
as many times a day as possible. When
indoors wear slippers. Wash the feet
night and morning in warm water and
good soap. It is a good plan to give
them a cold bath afterward., rubbing
briskly 30 tone the skin.
