Care Of the Feet.

Chiropodists will tell you that women who
really take care of their feet are the ex-
ception. OF course. II there are corns or
painful places the injury is treated. but, Or
dinarily speaking, our feet, that we expect
so much of, are left mostly to take care
of themselves.
Broadly speaking. too. the feet get even
with us. and show their resentment In corns
and bunions, and we suffer accordingly dis
comfort that with little daily care might
have been avoided.
do not believe it is toosmuch to say that
ones feet should have even more care than
ones hands. The fact that the pedal ex
tremities are closely encased in stockings
and shoes all day is of itself inclined to
make trouble. They do not get enough
fresh air, and the perspiration induced
tends to make an accumulation of dead
skin that should be removed every day.
That 1t is not is one of the first eXplana-
lions of soft corns. Those painful eXcres-
cences merely old skin rubbed by mois-
ture until the corn becomes a fact. The
surest prevention is not only bathing the
feet every day, but taking great care that
each toe is thoroughly dried on either side.
II there is predispOsition to moisture the
best method of absorption is to take a bit
of soft linen and cover it with powdered
tannin, placing it then between the toes
The cloth must be very small or 1t will
cause painful pressure.
A couple of thickneSses of white tissue
placed between will be good if the tannin
Is not at hand. Never use cotton. It is
heating.
Moist feet are uncomfortable at any sea-
son of the year. but in winter the condi-
ton is apt to produce chilblaills 1t is
rather apt also to indicate low condition
of the system. and exercise and tonics are
to be taken into the daily routine. Local
treatment consists in bathing the feet morn
ing and night and drying most thoroughly
Then rub with alcohol and apply powdered
tannin literally. Especial care should be
taken that the shoes are not SO tight as to
prevent circulation This applies equally
to the buttons over the ankles: If the shoe
IL too tight there the blood will not flow
freely into the toes.
The other extreme Of this condition II q

mass of magnificent black hair has a
beauty not to be denied, a beauty that has
it's effect, no matter what the remainder Of
the appearance may be.
The history of the world shows that dark
women have had greater permanent attrac-
more largely in those events that influenced
history.
Infantile in Intellect.
In sense, nearly every woman is born
blonde. The hair of the infant is usually
white. the towhead shade, but 1t gradually
darkens.
This change has given rise to the very
disrespectful theory that when the mind is
infantile the hair is blonde, but with de-
veloping intellect comes the darker shade.
Those ladies who never emerge from the
blonde state are supposed by this line OF
reasoning to remain children in point of
brain.
Perish the thought,
A thousand blondes who have been reign
temptible libel. An answering chorus from
the blondes demands to know why it is that
women only strive to dye their hair so as to
get the lighter shades. and that blonde is
always 50 well content that she never seeks
to alter her natural color into something
darker.
Blonde hair Is the mark of the north. just
as surely as the dark shade is the sign of
the south
1t is though the hot sun that pours
down on Italy. Spain and the entire round
of the tropics burns the hair into blackness
and the skin to the olive shades
In the north the sun burns less flercely
and we have the blonde of Germany. Of
Denmark. of Ireland. of Scotland. of Russia.
Does Prof Woodruff expect to see all that
altered?
The dark haired nations are much more
turbulent, more warlike. This would argue
that their term of life would be shorter
than those of the northlands.
Those countries where blondes are rarest,
Italy and Spain, for example. are far behind
the nations of the north in material pros
perity, in durable government and in all
lines o. progressiveness.
Is the blonde to pass?
Let us hope not. If for no other rea son
than because of the blow 1t would give the
stage manager If in arranging his stage
pictures he could not count on the beauty
of contrast that comes from playing his
brunettes against his blondes in the daz-
cling evolution of the march and dance.

|M|LLERS RAISE
PRICE Of FLOUR
PER CENT
IN THE SPOKANE MARKET.
Immediate Advance Waes Made In the
Retail Market of That City-Scarc-
ity Of Wheat the Reason Given by
Spokane Mil Managers-Further
Advance Not Deemed Likely Though
II Is Feared.

Spokane, May 25.-By a decision
of the millers of Spokane yesterday
afternoon the price of flour was raised
20 per cent, wholesale. or so cents a
barrel. The same advance will be
made in the retail prices. Beginning
this morning. the wholesale figure,
which has been 81 barrel, will be
$3.50 and the retail price will jump
from $4.25 to s4.75. Scarcity of wheat
and its prevailing high price are the
reasons given.
Aske5 ''-~"r1ing the action of the
millers I've ATT. Samuel Glasgow
secretary and treasurer Of the Centen-
NAL mill, said
THE fact is. the local mills. as well
as the others, have not half enough
grain to supply them, but we shall
have no trouble in putting out enough
for the local demand The new price
became effective at once. 1t is not
probable that we will raise the price
again, though II is hard telling what
the future has in store"
L. C. Lens. manager of the c. & c.
mill. when asked relative to the rise
last night, said:
THE four mills of the city have
agreed to make the advance, which
will go into effect Immediately. We
are practically the last mills of the
country to make the change.
Wheat is very scarce, and is almost
impossible to secure. The crop is all
bought up. and large quantities have
been shipped out of the country, much
of 1t going to California mills and
even larger consignments being sent
across the water to the mills of Japan
and China. or course, the way the
price of wheat has scared for the last
few weeks in Chicago has had the eff
feet of precipitating our action, but
even without this, the rise would have
been necessary"

Gas began to be manufactured in
Pendleton for the first time today
when Mrs. T. T. Geer. wife of ex-
Governor Geer, threw the first
shovelful of coal into the retort at
IL o'clock.
A special shovel of small pat
tern was made and donated by W. J.
Clarke & company for the occasion.
After the opening ceremony was
over H. NJ. Hunt took the miniature
coal shovel to have st decorated and
when this is done will present It to.
Mrs. Geer as. a souvenir of the &C.
casion.
Mr.. Hunt, who is engineer OF all
the gas plants of the Northwestern
Gas & Electric company's system,
states that the plant here is modern
in every particular. One of the fine
pieces of modern machinery is the
large meter which registers the
amount Of gas generated each min
ute. The machine cost $500 alone.
In speaking of the manufacture Of
gas in Pendleton, Mr.. Hunt said:
Zone reason that the cost of gas
comes higher in a place like this is
because OF the necessary waste Of
all the by-products which are utiliz-
ed in the larger cities. For instance,
large amount OF residue sulphur
which can be turned into sulphuric
acid. In the east this is sold to the
acid plants. Then there are num-
ber of different aniline dyes that can
be manufactured from the waste
matter, chief among them being ul-
teamarine blue. All these things and
many others go to reduce the cost Of
making Illuminating gas"
A large number of gas stoves are
now stored in the warehouse ready
for use as soon as they are set up
and connections made. The new
plant will add greatly to the lighting
facilities of the city and should the
electric current from the Walla Wal
Ia river plant fail at any time the

FRYE AND BRUHN IN A LAW SUIT
Accused of Trying to Beat Yakima

That Frye and Bruhn, heads of the
big meat trust in this state, have con-
spired to defraud the county out Of

In the superior court, in the suit Of
Frye & Bruhn VS.. Lee Title, as treas
urer, and the county Of Yakima, says
the Yakima Republic.
The suit was brought last year by
the meat firm to determine the taxa
ton question and an injunction was
obtained restraining the county au-
thorities from making a seizure Of
livestock in satisfaction Of the taxes
claimed. By stipulation with the
county attorney the injunction was OF
be in force until the suit came to trial.
the firm in the meantime putting up
a bond of $4,000 to secure the county
in the event of the firm losing its
suit
The answer filed today sets forth
that during last year Frye & Bruhn
kept 1000 head of sheep and 2203
head of cattle fattening in the county
The county assessor valued the sheep
at $4,000 and the cattle at s64, 900, and
levied tax of 1857 upon Frye &
Bruhn. The later, however, claim to
have had only fraction Of that num-
Der of livestock here.
1t is alleged that the firm has pur-
sued a course of defrauding local and
state authorities out of taxes for
some time past.

OVER 100000
IN AN ORCHARD
MAY YET BE INVESTED
IN UMATILLA COUNTY
Representative of Eastern Capital
Seeking Location for Heavy In
vestments in Commercial Fruit
Raising Is Better Pleased With
Umatilla County Than With Any
Other Portion of the West.

That Umatilla county may be Sc
lected as the location for CONNER
cial orchard to cost over 100000 is
cne of the possibilities Of the future.
S. NJ White, of Cleveland, Ohio,
representing large capitalists of the
east, has been looking over the Fur
lish irrigation project at Echo for
several days with a view to locating
large irrigated tract upon which to
plant perhaps the largest commercial
orchard in the northwest.
Mr.. White has visited all the irri-
gated sections of the west, including
those in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho
and Utah, and is more favorably i'm
pressed with the conditions and sur.
roundings in Umatilla county than in
any other section he has visited.
He believes that climatic and soil
conditions found in the west end of
Cmatilla county cannot be surpassed
for fruit culture and as the irrigated
lands of the Furnish and other tracts
in the west end of the county are
on main line of railroad, market
ing large quantities of fruit could
he accomplished very cheaply.
Should Mr.. White decide to locate
his company on Umatilla county land
over 100000 would be invested here
in planting the orchard and improv-
ing the property .
Mr.. White visited the Furnish irri-
gated tract yesterday in company
with C. p. Adams, who is in charge
of the land, and was delighted with
the outlook.
