FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

"ShaH children go barefooted in warm
weather " asks a correspondent, who
says that there is a difference OF opinion
on this question In her neighborhood
our children. both boys and girls, have
been going without shoes and stockings
since early May. A half dozen or so
families close by have adopted the same
plan. but a few Of our neighbors think
bare feet should be restricted to play
hours and indoors"
tt seems 20 me that this is a personal
matter to ne decided in each family
! am quite sure that / would not be In
fiuenced by anything save the health and
well-beiug of the children. There is no
doubt that contact with the earth rs
healthful. and fresh air for all parts Of
the body is TO be recommended. This is
the age Of fresh air cures, and there is
no such thing as getting too much OF It.
But there is always the danger Of wound
ing the feet. and serious results to follow.
and there Is the surety Of large feet 20
think about l should compromise on the
sandals without stockings, If nature had
been too generous in m0lding the feet.
Children have fondness for getting
close 70 nature and there are admit
believers in the curative powers Of wet
grass absorbed through the large pores
in the soles Of the feet. Dew and rain

by experience are handsome as well as

CHARLTON BANK AFFAIRS.
Action Likely Against Mrs. Mallory

Action Likely Against Mrs. Mallory
and Daughter for Reimbursement.
Special to Ilnes-Repupllcan.
Charlton, Dec. 14.-Judge F.. +. Old
ham of Washington, d. c., solicitor for
the treasury department, was in Chart
ton on business relating to the defunct
First National bank here and confer
ring with Receiver H. M. Bostwick
and Attorney o. A. Bartholomew. He
said but little concerning; the condi-
ton of affairs of he bank, but those
with whom he conversed were given
the impression that action would
probably be brought against Mrs.
Mallory and daughter, Mrs. Thayer.
for reimbursement of all losses they
can make right. Many people believe
they can be held for more than their
| stock assessment.
While here Mr.. Oldham was also
looking up the matter of a permanent
receiver. 1t may be that Mr.. Bostwick,
the temporary receiver, will continue
in the position permanently. Mr.. Bost-
wick, thru his attorney, MI. Bartholo-
new, has, in the interest of the de-
positors of the bank, filed notice OF
suit against Charles r. Kirk of this
place for about $4,000 worth Of notes
which are listed as assets of the bank,
and which it is claimed are in Mr..
Kinks possession. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Kirk admits that he has some
of the notes, but he claims that they
are his. If this is not the case and the
bank can secure the notes, it would
add $4,000 to the fund for the deposit
tors.
Mr.. Kirk and Mr.. Croker, who COM
mitted suicide, were partners in the
Percheron horse importing business,
and the notes were given by persons
who had purchased fine horses.
