TENDER FEET.
Treatment That May Relieve This
Painful Affiiction.

Evening is sad time with many
persons because of the wretchedly
tender condition of the soles of
their feet, which burn and tingle
and even ache as the day passes and
night falls. They get up in the
morning perfectly well as regards
the feet, but after walking about
for a time the soles get hot, itch
sometimes and feel raw and tender
with every step. The discomfort
increases hour by hour until by
night it has become almost unbear-
able.
Inspection of the feet may show
absolutely nothing, or they may be
red and more or less swollen and
perhaps hot to the touch.
This affection is often associated
with excessive perspiration of the
feet, sometimes SO extreme that the
stockings are constantly damp or
actually wet. Yet it may occur with
out this unpleasant accompaniment.
1t is not necessarily associated
with being on the feet, standing or
Walking for very long periods, al
though in those predisposed to the
affection every minute of standing
aggravates it.
1t is of nervous origin, the nerves
regulating the circulation-the so
called vasomotor nerves-being es-
pecially concerned in its production.
The cause may be found to be a
sinking down of the arch of the foot,
the so called fiat foot. 1t may be in
unhygienic foot covering, or it may
be undiscoverable, residing in some
peculiar susceptibility of the indi-
vidual.
If there is any visible defect, such
as fiat foot, it should of course be
remedied by support in the sole
Of the boot or, better, by building
up the sole on one side, so as to
throw the weight of the body on
the outer side of the foot. Even
without device of this kind the
sufferer may obtain much relief bv
trying to walk on the outer side of
the foot, in which attempt he will
be helped by walking pigeon toed,"
which throws the weight of the
body on the outer edge of the sole.
The shoes should be of soft and
yielding stuff, kid or canvas, and
never patent or enameled leather.
Rubbers or "arctics" should be
worn only when absolutely neces-
sary and should be removed the in
slant the wearer goes indoors or
INTO street car, even if the stay is
to be only five minutes.
On returning home from a walk
or from business change should be
made to slippers or, what may be
equally restful, to another pair of
shoes.
A powder of salicylic acid one
part, boracic acid eight parts and
French chalk thirty-two parts, dust
ed inside the stockings often af-
fords great relief in this condition.
The foot bath should be frequent
and should be followed by a few
minutes massage of the feet, with
a view to improving the circulation
locally.-Youth's Companion.

ATcHIsoN's ORDER OF SPINS
Unmarried, and Contented WithaI,
They Have Mapped Out for
Themselves a Pious City.

There was called a meeting Of the
Ancient Order of Spins last evening,
and papers were read on every sub
ject, from removing grease from car
pets to the sad memories that attach
to q bunch of old letters. The Spins
were having a hilarious time when q
visiting Spin got up to make a few re-
marks. She said that, while they are
happy now, there was q sad time COM
ing. Think of the day." she said,
when, having no husbands or chill
dren, you will be all alone" There
was a sniff and then q snort as Spin
after Spin recalled wives n mothers
who are alone from daylight till dark,
except when some member Of the fam
lily wants waiting on. The smiling
and snorting increased in volume as
Spin after Spin told of her freedom
from worry, her independence In
financial matters and the joy of doing
as she pleased. But we must not
take offense at what u sister has
said" one Spin remarked. Let us
show our good intentions by calling
on every lonesome wife and mother
we know" This vas six weeks ago,
and though the Spins have devoted
every afternoon and evening since to
this missionary work, they haven't
made half the rounds yet.-Atchison

SHER MAN FAILS
TO CALL ON TAFT
Visit in Capital Causes Con-
siderable Comment.

Vice President Sherman came to town
yesterday and left last night, but did
not call upon President Taft. He's the
strongest kind OF a Republican. and
he is as sdamantine in his loyalty 20
the ticket. but he elusively and skill
fully cut the White House of his call
ing list yesterday.
Let no scoffer say he feared a Taftian
cold shoulder He had nothing 20 fear
in that regard. because II was said at
the Executive Offices last night that
had he called he would have been given
the right OF way sunny Jim man
aged to find time to visit Secretary Of
State Knox. and also Acting Secretary
of Wa- Oliver.
The President and the Vice President
have not met since the Saratoga con-
vention. The State committee meeting
which ultimately resulted in a bomb
she'll coming from up Beverly way has
left its heart-burnings. and neither man
is in markedly friendly mood.
New York State will go Republican
and Stimson will be elected if Vice Presi-
dent Sherman's influence and vote can
make it so. for he said so himself at the
New Willard last night. The Vice Presi-
dent was accompanied by Oden Horst
mann, the clubman and former District
excise board official!
Mr.. Sherman LEFT Washington last night
TO dive into the middle of the speaking
campaign which the Republicans are
making for members Of the House In
North Carolina.
