How to Keep Cool.

Hebron, Neb., July $40 the Editor Of
The Bee Everybody knows enough to keep
his head cool in hot weather. but even bet
ter care should be given the feet than the
rest of the person. for If your feet pain
you. It units you for work or pleasure
either.
Bathing the feet night and morning with
lukewarm water and a good soap 10 the
first step in the process Of alleviating the
sufferings of aching feet in hot weather.
Especial attention should be given to careful
drying else the skin will be apt to split be-
tween the toes and cause an enormous
amount of inconvenience. Highly recon-
one teaspoonful. to one pint Of alcohol. This
is used in an atomizer and the feet
sprayed with it. This cannot, be used too
frequently; Immediately upon application It
should be famed with palm leaf fan until
quite dry. The alcohol evaporates quickly,
leaving a thin coating of the acid over the
feet. This is cooling. deodorizing, antiseptic
and takes the swelling out of tired feet
quicker than anything.
Then, If followed up with the following
foot powder. sprinkled into the stocking.
you will not know you have any feet:
Powdered starch. ten ounces; salicylc acid,
Ave ounces: talcum powder. thirty-fve
grains; oil of bergamot, ten drops; oil Of
lavender, six drops; oil Of wintergreen, six
teen drops. This should be well Mixed
then put through a sieve to eradicate. all
coarse particles. While its use does not
check the Precipitation. yet 1t keeps the feet
and stockings dry as a bone.

Water, Wells and the "tate's Cash.

After the first astonishment at the statement
has passed, wonder is renewed as to what the
democrats did with that $3.50 worth Of water pur-
chased from the city Of Lincoln for use at the
state house. At the boosted Lincoln rate of IS
cents per thousand gallons, this is equivalent to
more than $4,000 gallons day, which is con-
siderable quantity even for a good state house,
let alone a leaky, tumbe-down affair such as
Nebraska clings to- OF course, the water must
have been furnished, or Lincoln never would have
charged for IT, but the fact justifes suspicion that
has set Governor Morehead to looking into the
matter Of wells. No one ever thinks Of drinking
Lincoln city water when any reasonable substitute
may be had and it is certain the democrats at
the state house didn't that much in the process
Of lavation, for no bath tubs can be found in the
building The only thing absolutely sure in the
mystery is that it has cost the state $3.50 to use
Lincoln water at the state house for one year.

Where Draw the Liner

One OF the amazing arguments put forward to
excuse or justify the policy of the Wilson ad-
mnistraton that has sacrificed American lives and
American interests in Mexico to day-dream, is
that the amount Of American money invested
there has been grossly exaggerated. The most
conservative estimates place the total of American
investments in Mexico at $l,000000000, this
money having been advanced for the building Of
the railroads, the equipping of the mines with
modern machinery, the digging Of irrigation
bitches, the sinking Of oil wells the development
of various industries, ETC., most OF it long since
rendered useless and much of it completely
destroyed.
Now comes democratic apologist to tell US,
ut is probable that instead OF 81 000000,0O0 in
vested in Mexico, not much more than one-fourth
Of that amount was ever actually sent there. but
it is sufficiently large to demand protection In
other words, whether American interests in for
eign lands honestly acquired under the laws Of
those countries and held under treaty guarantees,
are entitled to the protecting of our own gov
eminent depends upon the amount Of dollars and
cents value True, it is suggested that foreign
investment aggregating $250,000,00O is sufficient
ly large to demand protection" but how much
would the figure have to shrink to lose its right
to protection? Would only $l00,0000Oo Of Ameri-
can investments in Mexico absolve our govern
ment from standing up for American rightss Or,
if 100000 900 invested would still be sufficiently
large to demand protection" would only $4,000
900 let US out? Where draw the line?
Must we not have foreign policy, and an ad-
minisration to back it up, that asserts the rights
OF American citizens wherever they may be, at
home or abroad on sea or on land, regardless
whether they be millionares or wholly money
less?

Case OF Postmaster Porter.

The high and mighty postmaster general at
Washington is bound to work his imperial will
on Postmaster Porter of Bridgeport, to the end
that proper example be established for the edh-
cation Of all understrappers in the service. Post
master Porter had the temerity to suggest that
some Of the money used to increase pay Of de-
partment heads might be better applied to in
creasing the service to the public, especially at
Bridgeport, where it was needed, For this he
was summarily discharged" by the D. m. g.,
whose dignity was affronted that a subordinate
should dare to talk back. Porter, righteously
indignant at what he deemed an abridgement both
Of free speech and the right to petition declined
to turn over his Office, and prepared to resist the
custer He now finds himself under arrest on a
technical charge OF embezzlement, and threatened
with punishment. His crime consists Of his crit-
cism Of the Postofice department His case ought
to win much support for the Wilson regime in

July's Distribution of Wealth.

The midyear distribution of wealth on &C
count Of interest payments and dividends in this
country cannot be computed accurately. That
II constitutes mighty pile is beyond doubt. Avail
able statistics Of stocks and bonds listed in the
exchanges, mainly railroad and industrial secu-
rites, the larger part Of the whole, distributed
more money than in any former midyear period.
The New York Financial World figures the total
at $292372s40, surprising the record Of year
ago by $22000,000. Stock yielded $l07,762,s40 to
the holders and interest payments aggregate
$l84600,000, both top records. The World notes
that the industrial groups were the chief gamers,
showing larger net profits than the railroads,
a fact which war contracts account for As a
whole, the railroads have done we'll, and dstrib-
uted $28,000,000 in dividends. This huge out
pouring of wealth is exclusive Of the earnings of
vast number of corporations unknown to stock
brokers, but whose earnings, in proportion to
capital are equally liberal In the aggregate,
doubtless, the mdyear distribution Of the un-
knowns would raise the record to the $500O0 900
mark, or an average Of S. per head OF the popu-
laton.

calls attention to what everybody knew be-

That. and not the mere accumulation of mill

by that standard the richest woman in the
world might have been the most miserable.

life was not an inspiring example. It was

An Evil That viii Cure Itself.

In Hamilton county a situation is disclosed
which, in the surface, makes the apportionment OF
delegates to the county republican state conven-
ton seem unfair That county is accorded only
nine delegates, because under the Nebraska law
the basis is the vote last cast for republican
candidate for president.
The party down there, which was badly split
four years ago, is now wholly reunited yet it
is granted voice equal only to half what its
present numbers would warrant The extent to
which the bull moosers have come back is at
tested by the figures of the recent primary
which show that in Hamilton county there were
polled 1854 republican votes and only three pro-
gressve party votes and this is not exceptional
but finds repetition in nearly every county in the
state; in fact, in fortyour counties out of ninety
three, no progressive party votes whatever were
cast The law governing political conventions
in Nebraska, however, does not recognize the
primary vote. We rather wish it did for, in that
event, it would put both bull moose and populist
labels off the ballot But these discrepancies, the
outgrowth Of an exceptional condition, will all
disappear with the vote polled at the election
next fall, when this apparent evil will cure itself

page, by Mr.. Serviss, but these, with the
exception of those on prehistoric mammalia,
do not interest the majority Of your readers
Of mature age, do not think.
do not mean to criticise the editor on
his new departure. but we will sorely miss
those fne writings on the mysteries OF the
earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, in
terspersed at times with an essay on the
mysteris Of psychology. I think some Of
the extracts from the Literary Digest,
the American magazine, the various big New
York dailies and other publications, that
often took up this space, will also be looked
for at times by many Of your numerous.

much more on this subject the editor will

to take the enjoyment of such picnics away
