Weak Feet and Ankles.

Strong feet make strong founda-
ton for strong body. A very large
proportion of all people have weak feet
and ankles. One should be as uncon-
scious of the sensation of discomfort in
his feet as he is in his hands; but few
are so fortunate.
AS a rule shoes are not we'll adapted
! to their purpose. Their object should
be to protect feet from injury, wet and
cold. With too many they are utilized
to compress naturally useful and good
| looking member into deformed lump
| at the lower end of the leg.
! Normal ankles and feet do not need
to be splinted and supported any more
than normal wrists and hands do. High
shoes and ankle braces weaken until
they become necessary after time.
strengthened by exercise. For other
weakness one doesn't willingly adopt a
crutch permanently. That is what is
done when high shoes are used to sup
port children's ankles.
Cold feet are due primarily to shut
ting off blood circulasion and free
movement. One of the best proven
tives of cold feet is wearing low shoes.
Caters may be worn in snow and by
women when the bottoms of their
skirts are likely to become wet. Most
people who wear low shoes in the sum-
mer change to high ones by the calen-
dar and not because of any sensation of
cold. They haven't been cold but theyI
think they will be. Many of our hab
it's have no more sensible foundation.
Heels on shoes are an abomination.
Originally they were probably adopted
to distinguish their wearers as mem
bers of the leisure class. Obviously,
no had physical work could be done
upon such high heels as those affected
by some women.
Strong, capable feet are important
on their own account. Indirectly they
are even more important. Unwilling
ness to use painful feet in wholesome
play and needed exercise has frequent |
ly been responsible for general weak
ness of the entire body. This general
weakening invites specific infections
and disorders which are responsible for
serious disease and premature death.
Weak ankles and feet may be per-
mamently strengthened by simple ex-
ercise. Turn toes in, heels far apart. |
Rise quickly on tiptoe, sink slowly to |
heel Repeat Is times. Gradually in
crease number as strength increases.
Toes should not be turned out in stand |
ing and walking. Keep feet parallel. |

THE new movement in revolt of high
taxes is growing amazingly. The res
olutions adopted by the Darlington
convention strikes happy response in
80 per cent of the people, who are ripe
for a revolution. It matters not what
are the political beliefs of those who
join the movement for the door is open
wide to all who desire economy in state
affairs to join. What is demanded is
that every candidate for state and leg
islative office be pledged to help lift
the burden of taxation.

great anthracite coal strike of 1902,

miners and the operators. AS the
leader of the employers he wrote a
letter to w. J. Clark of Wilkesbarre.

Representative Cattle Sales.
Stoekers and Feeders.

Chicago. April 27-About 1900 stock
and feeding cattle were left at week
end in yard dealers hands to go over
into next weeks market.
Cattle receipts last week carried a
surprisingly generous quota of stock
and feeding steers for this season of
the year. receipts having been more
liberal than for several weeks past.
The trade started out on Monday to a
ripping good demand. however, on a
strong to higher price basis. even in
the face of a lower trade on beef
grades. but country demand the last
few days has not measured so well up
to supply and prices have eased on to
about the same basis as week go,
a few of the best yeariings still SELL
ing perhaps to little better advantage
than late last week. while some of the
heavies feeders and plain stockers
show weakness.
Demand, as recently, has shown
strong partially for light cattle in
the good to choice grades. the call for
900 pound and heavier feeding cattle
being limited and comparatively few

We are doing a superior line Of
printing in our job department just
now, and ur sale bills are the talk of
the county. Week before last we got
out an order Of bills for a farmer
north of town and they were SO at
tractive and nifty that he couldn't be-
gin to take care Of the crowds that
focked to the sale. After getting top
price for every animal, implement and
article on the bill, the auctioneer SIM
ply couldn't stop. The people just
clamored for more. The farmer, in
the hope Of driving them away, put
up his mother-in-law. She brought
S16O on the hoof. Then he offered his
mortgage for sale. A lifelong friend
ship between two old neighbors was
shattered as each tried to outbid the
other. 1t was finally knocked down
to the richer man who was promptly
knocked down by the poorer. He sold
the weeds along the roadside. He sold
a gold brick that he bought in Chi
cago during the worlds fair. He sold
the ruts in the road in front of his
place and then offered to sell the sec
ret of where he had the sale bills
printed. We cannot give the results
as the returns are not all in. They
are bidding yet. That's the kind of
sale bills we print. Give us call.
