pamphlets setting out his grievance.
He was well supplied with funds and
was more than willing to lavish his
money on those who listened to him.
Gourdain told his hearers of his lottery
company in Louisiana and OF his subse-
quent arrest. conviction and sentence in
Chicago.
1t was thought that his remarkable sue
cess had driven him insane He had been
sentenced to prison in Chicago he stated

him, although the officials at Joliet would
not receive him.
Addressing his hearers in this city.

Many Sweat Glands Make
Feet Susceptible to Corns
TANGO is the Safe Remedy Guaran-
teed to Root Out the Core
PainIessly.

Corns. hunions and callous spots
result from pressure, mainly upon
the feet. because the feet are most
sensitiyely organized. They have
more sweat glands than any other
equal surface of the body; yet they
are the most restricted part of the
body. and receive the least hygienic
attention. Shoes retain the heat of
the body, which keeps the pores of
the feet open constantly, causing
perspiration and tenderness; hence
the continued pressure or rubbing OF
a shoe upon any spot will cause a
painful corn or Callous growth.
TANGO is the one GUARANTEED
remedy which instantly annuls pain
and roots out the core of the corn.
Cutting pairing and sloughing off the
callOus skin with salves and other
things are but makeshifts at best,
for the CORE of the corn is left to
grow and hurt TANGO roots out
the core clean as a whistle. 1t is the
one safe remedy which does not make
the toe sore. The first touch of TAN
GO for Corn ends your suffering.
Tango is guaranteed 70 root out the
core of the corn painlessly; if it does
not. your money back. Price 25c, at

Qrioin of the Polka.

Recently there has been consider
able discussion III the Austrian press
concerning the origin OF the polka,
and it appears that at last the qucs-
tion is settled and the origin of the
dance finally determined.
1t appears that the polka was the
servant who. tired Of kitchen work.
began TO dance ut her own free will,
singing the while native song as an
accompaniment. Her master and mis-
tress caught her in the middle OF her
dance and made her como into the
drawing-roonl, where she danced it
again before musician named Ne
rnda who transcribed the music and
the time. That all happened in 1890,
Five years later, in 1885, the dance
was introduced in Prague. Here it
received the name polka" on account
of its half step, polka" being Czech
word meaning ''onc-halr." Four years
after, in 1889. the polka was intro
duced TO Vienna, where it immediate
~ became the one fashionable dance.
Naturally from Vienna there was only
one step to be made to the capital of
Europe. This was made in the next
year.
In 1910 a dancer from Prague
named Raab danced the polka for the
first time in Paris ut the Theatre de
TOdeon. The dance took Paris by
storm and was Immediately establish
cd forever. Such is the now autlcnti-
Gated history of the polka.--Westmin-
stcr Gazette.

then, come to church and be elevated.
Listen to the Word of God. which

sanctities them AMI makes You see in
them stepping stones to heaven. There
is no doubt that a man needs a great

for nearly all of us life is hard road

half an hour once week is too much
to give to sermon! For in the SER

the tooth and claw of primitive life. 1t
takes the elasticity out of social or
ganization and proposes to substitute
for that rigid mechanism that will
grind pitilessly until its own unyield-
ing nature has utterly wrecked il. Yet
this philosophy is gaining strength in
our public schools. This Socialism,
void of virtue, void OF sanity, void OF
pity. void OF moral considera tions. bat
tens upon tho public school system
from which the principle or life has
been elected 1t feeds upon graduates
sent forth from state institutions with
an incomplete instruction and a false
view of life. 1t is reaching out for
the children. 1t is the children who
must be protected from 1t. That is
the vital point in the warfare between
civilization on tho one hand. and this
economic madness OH the other. So

of the nation.
