Suits covering the same ground have been
fled against former County Judges Baxter,
Shields and Vinsonhaler. but as other ques-
tons ars involved a speedy decision Is not

him should be turned into the county treas
ury.
The question as to whether or not the
county judge is liable to the county for
fees earned, but not collected will also be
tested in the came suit The petition al
leges that Judge Leslie earned $40 in fees
which he has not turned over to the
county. This will furnish a precedent for
cases against former county judges and

He has also promised not TO take advan-

why. that's absurd exclaimed the
woman. They're the same size I've been
IN the habit Of wearing for years"
Nevertheless. the trouble lies right
there. You may not know t.. but quite
as many troubles Of the feet are caused BY
wearings stockings that are too short as
shoes are too small
Women seldom realize THIS until they
come to me with their third toe doubled
up like yours and wonder what Is the
matter. They invariably lay il 70 the
shoes. when in reality it's the stockings.
The effect OF wearing stockings which
are too short Is quite as harmful as that
OF tight lacing. Such a stocking com
presses the foot, interferes with the cir
culation and paves the way for many
troubles.
ION the other hand. you should not buy
too large stockings; FOR they are apt to
wrinkle. and even a tiny fold will almost
instantly cause a callosity.

purchase. I favor cotton. for the reason
that Il Is less heating than silk and softer
than Isle This year there is what Is called
a mercerized cotton which IL especially
fine and soft and can be, recommended.
Another point which you should re-
member is that stockings should be changed
once a day. This win not only make them
last longer. but It will be much better for
the feet
