Effect Of Heat on Shoes

There is great danger of burning
shoes in winter time against furnace,
registers and hot steam pipes.
When a shoe that is the least damp
is brought into contact with hot fur
mace it is practically steam heated, de-
stroying the life of the leather, which
later becomes brittle and breaks. If
you find these symptoms in your shoe,
they are fair evidence that it has been
too near the fire, although you may not
recall the time and place. Such acci-
dents do not indicate any fault in the
shoes.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1912-03-05
Care of Patents

Patent leather shoes do not stand
cold weather very well. Any tempera-
ture lower than 90 degrees makes the
enamel on patent leather brittle. If
worn out of doors in cold winter
weather there is no assurance that they
will not crack. Never put on patent
leather shoe taken from a cold room
but warm them by the fire or rub by
hand before putting them on. An ap-
plication OF little sweet oil or vaSallne
will aid in keeping them soft and pre-
vent breaking.

Wear Shoes Alternately

Everyone will find that the purchase
of two pairs of shoes. and wearing
them alternately, letting them rest half
the time on shoe trees, keeps them dry
and smooth inside, retains their shape
and increases their durability. Shoes
should not be put away with dirt or
mud on them, as the pliability and
strength of the leather is impaired.

The Care of Shoes

Sometimes we see in our repair de-
partment a pair of shoes that needs re-
pairing Just because their care has been
neglected. The cleaning, oiling and
dressing of shoes is recommended not
alone to preserve their attractive ap-
pearance, but to add to the life OF the
shoes.
The leather will last much longer if
frequently cleaned with a damp cloth,
and dressed with high grade shoe
dressing. Work Shoes should besoiled
at least twice a week.

STYLE and Construction

Do not expect a light, fine shoe to
give satisfactory wear if you use it for
tramping afeld or for heavy service,
The choice of shoe should be made
on the basis of style and construction
suitable to the service required of them.
shoe of light construction can not
be expected to prove satisfactory to a

First Political Speech of the
Season.

The first gun OF the Republican cam
paign in New Ulm was fred Monday
evening when Jas. B. Peterson, candi-
date for the U. s. Senate in opposition
TO Knute Nelson, addressed about fifty
people in Woodman Hall.
Mr.. Peterson proved an interesting
speaker but did not receive much
applause. He devoted most of his
address to remarks on the recall of
judges and to an effort to impress his
audience with the idea that he is q
friend of the common people and for
that reason if for no other should re-
place Senator Nelson.
: A stranger in town who did not know
it was a republican meeting might
have been readily excused for thinking
it democratic speech unless he heard
tho whole address. Ono very note.
worthy fact regarding this campaign
speech was tho absence of compliment
sry references to Roosevelt or Taft and
but few concerning LaFollette, except
in connection with Cummlns and others.
IfMr. Peterson's address 10 sample
of what We may expect in the line Of
fall campaign speeches it is q good
indication lof the unusually large ma
jority to be given Woodrow Wilson.
