RUsSiA's GREAT CLOWN.
Durov Had Citing Tongue, and He
Dearly Loved Pigs.

Durov Had Citing Tongue, and He
Dearly Lcved Pigs.
The famous Russian clown, Anatole
Durov, he'd that. whatever your voca-
ton. tbe ONLY thing that brings you sue
cess is work. Accordingly he became
the most industrious, successful and
beloved clown 10 Russia and probably
the richest clown in the world, too, for
when he died ne left a fortune of ST.
100000 and collection Of trained ami
mails that brought visitors to his home
from all over The world.
Born of an ancient and noble family,
he was a pupil Of the renowned cadet
corps, but before bis graduation he ran
away and joined Ii circus.
But be had no ambition to be an or
binary clown. He kept in touch with
politics, with everything that took place
In Russia, and applied to it his wit.
Soon he became an unlicensed censor
of Russian society in motley. Evil he
rebuked by jest and gibe. No man was
in too high place for his tongue, and
furious officials once brought about his
exile Russia loved him too well for
that, however and soon he was back
in the ring To show that he meant to
be more discreet he appeared with
paddock attached to his mouth
He was very famous animal trainer.
The pig was his favorite pupil. and it
is said that his pigs could do almost
everything that human beings can do
except talk.
A team of trained pigs drew him
about the streets, and so did he love
them that pigs head with a d. to
the left was the device upon his seal.
He used to enjoy telling how, when
he was on tour in Germany, one of his
pigs ran away and came finally to a
farm not far from Berlin. The farmer,
who was kind man, gave the tired
looking beast food and drink. TO his
CONSERVATION. the visitor solemnly
mounted an upturned barrel, looked
gratefully at his host and stood on its
head as token of appreciation

FOOT RULES IN OUR ARMY.
Advice Which May Be of Value to the
General Public.

No better advice to the public can be
given in reference to the care Of their
feet than is embodied in our Army Man.
ual of Military Hygiene. which. of
course, is not in general circulation.
The points particularly emphasized
may be paraphrased as follows:
Wear shoe wide enough and
straight enough on the inner margin to
give the toes space for their proper po-
sition.
The best treatment of bunions will
be found in removing the pressure over
the affected joint This can only be
done by supplying a properly fitted
shoe.
To relieve improving nails they should
be cut squarely across and not round
ed. Scrape the nail thin on the top and
insert a pleleet of cotton under the
edge.
/ For corns use properly fitted shoes
Remove corns or callouses only when
! they are source Of pain and trrita-
| ton.
Have at least two pairs of well fitted
shoes for constant use and smooth
stockings as free from holes and darn
lngs as possible.
After long walk wash the feet. dust
with foot powder and put on clean
stockings and shoes. but do not soak
the feet in cold water.
Foot powder shaken into the socks or
busted over the feet will help prevent
blisters
Wooden stockings will absorb perspi
ration. Those who are Oh thei1 feet
very much should harden them by ap-
plying foot oxder and bathing the
feet frequently in colo water.
The correction of fiat foot may re-
qutre long period and can be aided
by furnishing a broad and well shaped
shoe. taking care that the foot is
strengthened by proper exercises and
not overloaded.
Do not toe out" but walk with the
inner margins of the feet parallel SC
that the weight of the body will he
thrown on the outer or stronger part of

CAN FOODS, SAYS GOVERNMENT
RumOr False That L. s. Expects to
Take all Home Supplies.

A rumor that the Government ex-
poets to take food supplies, especially
canned goods, from families has been
circulated and is evidently a pro-
paganda on the part of enemies of the
United States. The College of Agri-
culture of the University of Missouri
and the United States government
wish to assure the people that the
rumor is unfounded.
Efforts have been made by the Col
lege OF Agriculture and the govern
ment to persuade families to preserve
a large supply of fruits and vegetables
with the welfare of the people in view
so that an abundant supply of food
would be canned and dried and waste
prevented.
Although the canning season for
many food products has passed, there
are still many foods that may be pre-
served for winter use. Those in

LUTHER'S LETTER FOUND
Was Written by RefOrmer When He
Nailed Theses to Church Door.

Nailed Theses to Church Door.
By Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 29.-An impor-
tant addition to Lutheriana has been
made by the discovery in the royal
archives Of letter written by Martin
Luther, the reformer, on the day he
nailed his immortal theses on the
church door in Wittenberg. The let
ter is of particular interest from the
fact that it was, directed to Archbishop
Albrecht of Mayence, who was Luth-
er's immediate superior. 1t contains,
like the famous theses, strong pro-
test against trafficking in spiritual in
dulgences.
The letter appears first to have been
found in German city by Swedish
Swedish official who brought it to
Sweden some time in the seventeenth
century. An old copy exists in Ger
many, but the existence of the original
appears to have been forgotten and its
absence long ago caused the German
copy to be considered a forgery.
A copy of the Wittenberg theses,
signed by Luther's own hand, was
found with the letter, and probably
accompanied it originally.
