Sometimes the blood flows so rapidly

THAT wIRz MONUMENT.

HE proposed monument to Wirz Of Ander-
4 sonville prison infamy, with its offensive
inscription is not meeting with unanimous sup
port throughout the South The Southern States
had numerous heroes whose commemoration in
monuments has not raised the slightest criticism
throughout the North, but Wirz was not hero
A former Confederate soldier in New York
calls the monument a blunder, reviving "abomi-
nabe memories, and the Richmond News-L Leader
deplores the action of the Georgia Daughters of
the Confederacy in connection with the monu-
ment The Richmond paper says truly: "The
more faithfully we strive to bury the horrors,
treacheries, cruelty, pillage outrage and shame
COT the warl the better it will be for us all"
When the proposed monument is condemned
by those Of Southern sympathes, little wonder
is It that veterans throughout the North who re.
call the bitter experiences in Andersonville are
indignant that its horrors should be perpetuated

NEW YoRK's TERMS.

II HE New York Sun, popularity regarded as
L the chief mouthpiece of Wall Street and
the Interests" discoses the terms upon which
the 'interests" are to permit the return OF pros
perity.
tt declares that every day the number OF the
unemployed is increasing, and adds: There is a
growing conviction on all sides that there can be
no effective or permanent restoration OF the COM
mon industry and productivity until the morbid
ity Of Rooseveltism has been eradicated from the
body polite
But it is not merely the eradication Of "Reose-
veltism' that is demanded. All who sympathze
with the President must stand aside. Taft must
get out OF the way. The Sun says: Mr.. Roose-
Welt can no longer cram himself down the once
yawning gullet of the sovereign people. How
much less shall he cram down his Taft!
In other words, the plain terms OF the cotene
that the Sun speaks for are that if Taft is nomi-
mated there shall be no return of prosperity
This view is highly interesting 1t seems to
strengthen the theory held by many that the de-
preston is an artificial furry created by the
powerful fnanciers OF the country, who were de-
termined to punish Roosevelt because they OBJ
iected to his policies And now they add as a
condition for prosperity that not only Roosevelt
must be punished, but Taft also must feel their
iron heel of dspleasure. In other words the
country can become prosperous, industry can be
resumed, only on condition that the occupant of
the presidential chair shall make his humble obei-
sance to Wall Street and the financial interests
that operate in New York. All of which is enter
tanning and instructive.

PRETTY FEET.

How 10 Preserve Their Shape and
Condition.
That a pretty foot is one Of woman's
greatest charms is universally conced-
ed, and the woman who wants to pre-
serve the shape Of her pedal extremi-
ties must perforce bestow considerably
more attention upon them than she is
credited with doing, says the Chicago
Tribune. To keep them trim and
Ehapely hot baths should be resorted
to. A frequent change Of shoes is ad-
visable, as 1t rests the feet and helps
TO keep them in good condition. After a
long tramp battle them in warm water,
afterward rubbing with bay rum or CO.
logne But, after all, the weekly pedi-
curing should not be forgotten. 1t is
just as important as manicuring. Aft
er a hot footbath all callosities should
be treated with pumice stone, and If
one desires to prevent their return ap-
ply a plaster Of chamois skin with a
hole In the center. This Will not only
relieve, but cure. Toe nails do not need
trimming as often as finger nails. They
should be trimmed square across, kept
at a moderate length and otherwise
treated as those of the fingers.
The feet should be washed every
morning II It were made daily Gus
tom the beauty Of the feet would be
better preserved, and there would be
fewer corns, bllsters and bunions.
Should the feet be prone to dampness
the stockings should be changed every
day, and the soles Of the clean stock
ings should be sprinkled with some
good toilet powder.
Patent leather has a bad effect on
many feet, and therefore women with
tender feet should avoid it. Slippers
Of a much thinner leather, called pat
ent kid, can be obtained. This looks
quite as smart and does the feet far
less harm.

what doubtful whether you can in
crease the digestive powers ot the
stomach by eating indigestible food in
order to force it to work.
Nature has furnished us all with a
perfect set Of organs, and If they are
not abused they will attend to the busi-
ness required Of them. They need no
abnormal strength
There is limit to the weight a man
can lift, and there is also a limit to
what the stomach can do.
The cause OF dyspepsia, indigestion
and many affiliated diseases is that the
stomach has been exercised too much
and IL is tired or worn out Not ex-
ercise but rest is what It needs
To take something into the stomach
that will relieve It from it's work for
a short time-something 70 digest the
food-will give 1t a rest and allow It
time to regain its strength
The proper aid to the digestive
organs is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab cts,

SONS OF OHIO TO MEET.

nHIO is fortunate in her number of promi-
- nent men. She has as many able men as
any other State in the Union They are always
active. They are into everything They are now
preparing for high old time" at the meeting OF
the Ohio Society, to be held in New York on the
evening of February /. Politics will be the chief
topic of the after dinner orators.
Rumor has it that Senator Foraker is "primed'
for an attack on the administration Having met
with apparent defeat in his attempt to manage his
own State, Senator Foraker, aided by the New
York men largely responsible for his incpent
presidential boom, may be expected TO renew the
anti-administration assaults with increasing Bit
terness.
Standard Oil magnates also are to speak Taft
invited to be present but he will not be there
owing to a previous engagement" Judson Har-
mon, who appears to be coming to the front
presidential possibility, will be another of the
orators.
The society in New York seems to be con-
trolled by the opponents Of the administration.
But New York does not yet represent the entire
country, and it is doubtful whether the addresses
to be delivered at the dinner assailing the admin
istraton will aid the cause of the opponents of
the President
