WHEN SHOES PINCH.
How TO Prevent the Trouble and In

How TO Prevent the Trouble and In.
sure Comfort.
There are few people who do not
know some time In the course OF the
year where the shoe pinches. and It IL
hardly too much TO say that I'm nearly
every case this Is preventable and Is
produced by ignorance. Bathing the
feet daily, cutting the nails and going
now and then TO the chiropodist pre-
vent many Ills, but there Is more to be
done I'm order to promote the good ap-
pearance OF the feet and their abso-
lutte comfort. Special foot Ills from
which people suffer are corns, bunions
and ingrowing nails. II Is necessary TO
DO very careful In the selection of
stockings, as also I'm boots and shoes.
1t Is no economy to have only one pair
Of shoes or boots In constant wear.
Three Is far more beneficial. IL II not
good for the feet TO keep To one pair.
and three pairs will last much longer
worn In change than one pair after the
other.
During the day many people 40
through various phases with their feet.
They are often slightly swollen I'm the
morning; then loose shoe should be
worn, the size being sufficiently ample
to allow the feet TO spread and have
perfect ease. the heels being not above
the moderate height. On going out II
Is advantageous to change both shoes
and stockings. The feet perspire n
good deal, and fresh stocking is
healthy and Clearly. II is best to use
cold water for the feet In cold weather
and warm water In hot, weather, for
the cold water hardens the feet and
especially In towns prevents the pave
ments affecting them and wards of
chills. A little spirit I'm the water to
battle the feet rests and strengthens
them, and n little borax and u little
ammonia I'm the water are very beneh-
cial. Those who have to stand about
all day should change their shoes in
the middle of tho day and before din
ner because this both cools and airs
the feet. The leather dries and gets
aired and well cleansed too. Every
pore of the feet and ankles Is exhaling
what the leather absorbs. so that II IL
neither Clearly nor hygienic to keep
too long to the same boots and shoes,
and the leather, which is thus allowed
to air and dry, lasts much longer. The
reason why patent leather shoes are SO
unhealthy and often painful In the
wearing is that they cannot be venti-
lated, 30 that the feet perspire more.
The ankles are very sensitive; hence In
cold weather high boots or gaiters
should be worn. III the feet are too dry
and hard. the skin beneath thickening.
cream rubbed in at night is specially
beneficial. Those that perspire unduly
should be treated by damplng the
stockings with little alcohol and ap-
plying little powder, such as boracic
or talcum. Half OF the foot troubles
originate in improper footgear-too
high heeled shoes, shoes and boots that
are too Shorthand many an undue in
crease OF the great toe joint is due to
wearing shoes too loose over the in
step, thereby allowing the feet to
spread. Boots and shoes to at should

PRACTICAL FORESTRY.

Among powerful agencies which are
taking up the matter of forest planting
and preservation In a practical and
effective manner is the Pennsylvania
railroad. The demand for lumber to
be used In the manufacture OF freight
cars, bridges, stations, etc, and for
telegraph poles and railroad ties has
become so great that this company, one
OF the most extensive In the country,
has purchased farm lands, which are
used as nurseries for different varie-
ties Of trees which are needed. The
company the past spring planted over
100000 trees, while its total paintings
to date. including this years, aggre-
gate 100000 trees. This years plant
ing included 100000 imported seed
ings. which were placed In the COM
pany's nursery at Morrisville, Pa.
When railroad companies, which are,
as a rule, dominated by only the most
mercenary consideration, take such an
interest in the subject OF forestry, 1t
ought to be a thought provoker for
many a farmer who Is quite likely
growing crops with Indifferent success
on land that during a term OF years
would give him as large or a better
revenue per acre II set out to trees.

WHAT SHE cRANEs-

While there may be now and then
married women whose desires are sat
isied IL they have all the clothes they
want and a modest sum OF spending
money, 1t Is more then likely that
the lives Of great many are unhappy
and cherries for lack of love and ap-
probation for the humdrum work OF
life which so many perform uncom-
plainingly. When n woman goes as a
bride to the marriage altar she dedi-
Gates her life to the happiness and
welfare OF her husband In a far more
complete and unreserved manner than
he does to her. This the considerable
husband VIII keep in mind. He has
interests which properly take him
abroad among his fellows. Hers keep
her much at home This he should
try to make bright and attractive not
only with paint and paper, but with
smiles, appreciation and consideration
In the vast majority OF instances
homes are not unhappy because OF q
lack Of clothes. furniture OF ready mon
ey. but for lack OF unselfshness and
sincere affection. The greatest bless
ings Of life are thus within reach Of
the poorest. yet are often unrealized
In the homes Of the most wealthy.

A ouAck GRASS WARNING.

A reader of n central Iowa paper In
which these notes appear regularly
contributes TO its column q very timely
article touching the need of greater
precaution with a view TO preventing
the spread Of the quack grass pest
He points out the danger. previously
emphasized In these notes, OF allowing
the grass 10 seed along highways,
fence rows and In vacant lots because
OF the possibility OF subsequent
spread of the seed In the form OF litter
or manure to gardens and farm lands
In the vicinity. He attributes the
and other localities TO the careless way
In which hay is made OF the roadside
grasses after the quack grass Is headed
out. the same being used on the farms
Of the abutting landowners or sold and
fed out In other localities. He asserts
that the man who would set his barn
afire Is n gentleman compared with
one who would knowingly sell him hay
containing quack grass seed. AS re-
suit of ten years experience with the
pest he recommends summer fallow-
Ing OF the land that is infested with
the grass, with disking as often as
any Of 1t shows head above ground. a
deep blowing OF the land in the fall
and the growing Of corn the next two
years, with the cleanest and most care
full cultivation possible. Even with
this method tufts OF the grass nre like
~ to be found Mt the roots of the corn
In the fall Of the second year, when
they should be dug up by hand, root
and all, and burned. He estimates that
the value OF land thoroughly infested
with quack grass Is decreased one
half. The danger from the source In
dicated can hardly be overemphaslzed.
Every farmer should be keenly alive
TO the situation.

The LEAK IN WEEDS.

A great benefit resulting from early
stacking OF the grain Is that II sheep
are on the place and 1t IS properly
fenced they can be turned on TO the
stubble and will devour and destroy no
end OF weeds, thus keeping them from
maturing a big crop Of seed. Where
there are no sheep the same result
can be attained by an early blowing OF
the stubble. This viii kill weeds about
TO seed as well as mature other weed
seed In the soil. Not the least OF the
leaks on the average farm Is the an
nual loss sustained in the work OF
fighting weeds and In the toll which
they take on the fertility Of the soil
Hence any method by which the weed
nuisance eau be abated should be
pushed vigorously and persIstently.
