are ways of preventing blistering. I've
tried ever SO many schemes. One time
some one recommended wearing two
pairs of moderately thin stockings and
dusting powder in the shoes. That day

single blister. But the most comfort

of soft wooden stockings each day and
then use powder. The wool is much

RUBBER STATISTICS

Para Harvest Amounts to 39,190,
Which Is Increase

The annual statistics issued in rela-
tion to the production consumption
stocks. and prices of rubber have just
been published. According to the fig
Gres which rela te to the year ended
June 30 1910. the harvest of Para quail
tiles amounted to 39.190 tons, as COM
pared with 3S,075 tons in 190S-9, while
the consumption was 39,363 tons and

lively. In 190S9 the output was 1895
tons greater than in the preceding
year. and the consumption was 5,202
tons in excess of 1e07-S, whereas the
production and consumption in 1909-10
were only Lib tons and Lila tons, re-
spectively, greater than in 190S-9
The visible stocks increased from
2,SS2 tons in 190s-9 to 4,217 tons
last year, this seeming only to have
been possible by decrease in the In
visible stocks The total production of
rubber throughout the world is re-
turned by the statistics at 1868 tons
in 1909-10, as contrasted with 70,5S7
tons in the previous year, while the
worlds consumption amounted tos Te,-
026 tons and 1883 tons in the two
years, respectively. These figures
show an increase of 5,966 tons in the
output and Of only 4,037 tons in the
consumption, whereas the augmenta-
tion in 190S-9 over 1907-S was 420S
tons in the production and no fewer
than 9,613 tons in the quantity used
It is of particular interest to note that
the deliveries in Europe in 1909-10 in=
creased by 1881 tons to 42,527 tons, but
those in America only advanced by 56
tons. The arrivals in Europe are re-
corded at 44,336 tons in 1909-10, or
S496 tons in excess Of the preceding
year, while the arrivals in America
were S3,051 tons, and were less than in
190S-9. AS a consequence, the Euro
pean stocks rose by 2,163 tons to 5,107
tons in 1909-10, but decreased in the
United States from 449 tons to 361
tons. The worlds stocks are stated
to be 6,99S tons. as compared with
5,024 tons in 190S-9, or an increase of

DIVORCE SUIT IS
SECRETLY FILED

Dr.. Francis Gruss Names E. L.
Doherty in Complaint
Against His Wife

DR.. Francis Gruss, former trustee
of Mill Valley and a dentist of this
city, has filed suit for divorce from
Bertha Gruss, naming as correspond
ent Earl L. Doherty, one of the owners
ef the Doherty lumber company OF
Mill Valley. The suit was secretly
filed Friday at San Rafael
In his bill for divorce Doctor Gruss
tells the old and familiar story of the
frequent visits of a firm friend and of
his confidence in that friend until a
growing coldness on his wffe's. part
warned him of impending domestic
disaster. 1t is charged that Doherty
and Mrs. Gruss were together on
more than one accession and that they
were unduly affectionate toward each
other.
Doctor Gruss, who is now living at
the Cadillac hotel in this city, admitted
last night that he had separated from
his wife two months ago and that,
through his attorney, Charles D. King,
he had filed suit for divorce. He will
also make fight for the custody of his
two children, one and the other 2
years old.
Before Doherty came between u.s."
said Doctor Gruss, 'she was the best
woman and wife in the world. L heard
of her relations with Doherty about
five months ago. They might have
been going on longer 1 don't know.
l was then trustee of the town Of Mill
valley, but the shame of the common
rumor about her made me resign"
Doctor Gruss left Mill Valley and his
Wife and went to the Cadillac hotel
on August 25
"Doherty was formerly great
friend of mine" he continued, and he
often came to our house with his wife
and two children, a girl and a boy. I
noticed that my wife's love began to
wane about five months ago and it was
then first became suspicious" Except
to confirm the statements made in the
divorce complaint DR.. Gruss declined
further to discuss the case.
Mrs. Gruss is now living with her
parents at PSI First avenue in this
city. She is the daughter of Charles
G. Kinsey member of the Johnson
Locke mercantile company. A sum-
mons in the divorce suit was served
upon her today, but Doherty, who may
be called as a witness, could not be
located by the process server.

is at hand when the turn Of a tap in

Abundant water may mar the pic
turesqueness of Jerusalem for those
who put the favor of antiquity before
everything else, but 1t will make for
cleaner habits and better health.
Moreover, it will sustain the theory
that all progress works along a line
of averages, and that every forward
movement, in exchange for the Ills it
overcomes brings enough others in
it's train to furnish its beneiciaries
with something still to worry about.
