Don't Cross Your JcpS.

A most injurious habit. common
alike to men and women, is that Of
sitting with one leg swung over the
knee of the other Headaches. cold
feet, varicose veins, ulcers and many
other discomforts attendant on an
imperfect circulation of the blood
are directly traceable to this habit.
When the right leg is swung over
the let knee the whole weight Is
sustained by this knee, placing all
the pressure against the under part
of the right leg between the calf and
the knee cap. At this very place are
great number of large veins, ar
teries and nerves; the pressure on
them crowds all the tissues together
and materially interferes with the
circulation of the blood. and the
disturbance of natures p. ocesses
manifests itself in many bodily evils
and inconveniences. Many who
would not be guilty of crossing the
legs in public often surrender to the
temporary comfort of the position In
the seclusion OF their own rooms. IL

sang dirges, laughed bitterly, pulled

THE EVILS OF HIGH HEELS.
Cause More Organic Diseases Among
Women Than Any Other Thing.

"High-heeled shoes are the cause
women than the tightly laced corset
or any other one thing" said large
manufacturer not long ago. And
the vainest. which means the brav-
est when the adjective is applied to
womankind, must admit that 1t is
true.
They throw the whole diaphragm
out OF line and place the foot in an
unnatural position. thus forcing the
knees and head to maintain the equi-
librium of the whole body. 1t does
seem strange desire on the part of
women thus to cripple themselves.
and yet they will persist in hoping
that the curved heels decrease the
size OF the foot and add an extra
inch to the stature.
A physician has said: II consider
the high-heeled shoe Is now the
greatest contributing cause for the
necessity of organic operations upon
women. If Dame Fashion does not
soon decree that high heels be dis
fragette" the doctors will not hold
themselves responsible for the heath
of the women of to-day, and espec-
tally tomorrow.
Another authority has remarked
that women may imagine that they
delude men into thinking that their
height Ia greater and their feet
smaller, but ! do not believe that
any man with sense enough to have
opinions Is ever deceived at all.
And when men realize how destruc-
tive to the health such exaggerated
heels are and how injurious to the
organs, they will shun women who
wear them. particularly when they
are seeking wives"
Still more discouraging! 1t seems
that a woman must choose between
fashionable foctgear and husband.
Yet they call them the weaker sex
even with such mighty matters rest
ing upon their decision.
Perhaps it Is true that high-heeled
shoes are not so healthful as they
might be but 1t seems hardly fair to
cast them into such utter oblivion.
Women seldom walk on them, and
for dancing they are perfectly con-
venient. But there are many young
girls and women who are much in
jured by the excessive use of the
Louis XIV. heel, and they would find
that one-inch heel is quite sufiic-
lent to support their weight and at
venient
1t Is true fact that If Old Dame
Fashion decreed high heels out-of-
date and unattractive many femi-
nine martyrs would sigh with relief
and the uncomfortable slippers
would be consigned to the fireplace.

STAMPEDE To SELBY CAMP.
Rich Finds Made Twenty-Five Miles
South of Reno-lsicheSt
Strike in State.

RENO Marer IA stampede is
on to the new camp of Selby located
about twenty-five miles from this city
and on the line of the Virginia and
the old historical mining camp of
Washoe. Ore assaying thousands of
dollars per ton in gold and silver was
uncovered in the Selby Consolidated
mining property Sunday at a depth Of
one hundred feet and in the r. and
B. property which adioins the Selby
Consolidated property. fourteen
inch vein carries values as high as
S 800 per ton and averaging several
hundred dollars to the ton in gold.
The Selby Consolidated has ledge
forty feet in width. the average of
which is $40 per ton. An eight inch
vein on the hanging wall of the tun-
mel assays $4,000 per ton.
The news of the strike was brought
to Reno yesterday by Rollo +. Clapp.
manager of the Commonwealth mine
near Washoe, who also has some
property near the Selby Consolidated
and on which he now has a force of
men doing development work. In
speaking of the camp of Selby, Clapp
said this morning:
The strike is one of the richest in
the state and means great deal for
the city of Reno on account of being
so close and the fact that all the traf-
fic to the camp from the outside must
go through Reno and all the ore
which is shipped out of the camp will
come through Reno.

GEORGIA PREFERS
TO HEAR FURTHER
Before Climbing Into Taft
Band Wagon.

WASHINGTON d. c., jan 10
(SpeciaD Interesting news per-
tanning to the Republican Presiden-
tial contest was brought to Washing
ton yesterday from the South, and it
is particularly apropos of the recent
conferences which Secretary Taft
has held with Frank H. Hitchcock,
First Assistant Postmaster General.
1t is to the effect that the party lead
ers in the Southern States prefer to
withhold their decision as to choice
of candidates until the situation de-
velops more clearly
In other words, they are not yet
ready to walk up and swear allie
glance to any particular aspirant
for the nomination.
This is the report, at least, that is
brought up from Georgia by Judson
Lyons, the Republican national COM
mitteeman and former Registrar of
the Treasury, and from Tennessee by
one of the party leaders of that
State
Lyons it is thought, brings the
judgment of the Georgia branch of
the association, and he has been
candid in the talks he has had with
friends in this city The Republicans
of his State, he says, are ready enough
to support Secretary Taft if they
think he can win by the addition of
the Southern strength. But they pre-
fer to hold aloof for while and see
what happens, particularly in Ohio.
