SHOE SENSE.

Shoe solss are worn out much more
rapidly If you do not wear rlbbers in bad
weather than If you do. The damp weather
and rain and snow soften the leather, it
issubiect toabrupt changes of temperature
from freezing pavements to the warmth
of the house. Then we walk on sand
and pebbles and ice, and II is no wonder
that the soles OF our shoces do not last as
we would like To have them. Some women
wear rubhers just so az 10 protect their
shoe solcs and shoes from the weather.
They think that it makes their shoes
last very much longer and there is a good
deal of sense in this suggestion.
But an even better way of making shoes
last is by seeing that they are always
carefully dried when they have been wet
They should not be put near a hot fire but
yet they should be made TO dry fairly
quickly. They should be cleaned, as il is
bad for the leather to let the mud and
CRIME remain on them.
The shape of our shoes has something
10 do with the way they wear, and one Of
the most serious objections that has been
raised against the long-vamp, pointed toe
shoe that has enjoyed such long period
of popularity in this country is that the
end of the toe and the sole wears out far
in advance OF the rest of the shoe. Our
toes do not go anywhere near the end of
those very pointed shoes-they couidn'
possibly do so, and the result IS that the
extra toe just gets in the way. We stub
il and knock il and drag it about and it is
no wonder that it wears out.
Quite good many persons predict that

ICE FAMINE At FORT DODGE.
No Deliveries 70 Be Made to House
holders After Saturday.

Fort Dodge, Aug. q. The Ice
famine has reached Fort Dodge. No
more Ice will be delivered to the homes
OF the city after Saturday. Aug. 80. &C
cording to notice sent out today by the
ice dealers Of this city. Altho the ice
shortage has been felt in many places
thruout the country, Fort Dodge
people have not been aware Of any
such calamity here. Ice dealers, how
ever. have anticipated this shortage,
for their crops this year lacked one
third Of being as large as usual and
it has been Impossible so far to secure
ice from other places.
From now on the ice problem in
Fort Dodge will be one of cash and
carry" for there is still a small sup
ply Of ice held in the store houses for
people who need it badly enough tc
go after 1t themselves. This is in
reality a necessary measure, for where
there is illness in summer weather
either in homes or at the hospital. ice
Is almost essential. 1t was jokingly
said last fall and winter when the cash
and carry system was adopted by sc
many business houses, that people
carried everything home but theil
coal. Now they will even have tt
carry their ice.
For time at least, commercial
trade in the city will be supplied witt
ice. altho this may not be possible
long unless some can be shipped int
the city. Both the Crystal and Upper
River ice companies will furnish Ice
IN limited amounts to those who cal

Honolulu, July 26-The get togeth-

merce and boards OF trade, Is all that
is required to secure friendly relations
between the United States and Japan
according to Baron Jujitori Otor!'
Japanese Ambassador to MeXicco, who
Is on his way home for visit.
TO promote and insure a better un-
derstanding between the peoples OF the
United States and Japan, and TO turth-
er neut ralize harmful propaganda en-
dangering friendly relations said
the Baron. 1T is essential that hence
forth honest and courageous efforts be
made by all concerned to meet in open
discussion of the political, economical
and social problems facing the two ma
tons.
"A barrier of ignorance, race hatred
and jealousy has unfortunately suosu-
tuted the innocent isolation which
formerly precluded intercourse be-
tween Japan and the United States.
With the universal acceptance OF
democracy and liberal thought in in
ternational relations, 1t Is time there
should be a closer and better under
standing between the two nations. Let
us have real get together movement;
let US rub elbows and get acquainted.
ITO facilitate the early realization
Of such a movement l wish to make
these suggestions:
That the diplomatic, consular ana
other official representatives OF
Japan and America be selected from
men willing to give hearty co-opera-
ton toward cementing cordial rela-
tons.
That scholarships be established
in the leading American and Japa-
nese universities devoted to the his
tary and literature of both countries.
That japanese university graduates.
Thoroughly familiar with English, be
allowed to matriculate in American
universities for post graduate work
without any qualifying examination.
That trade and other commissions,
composed of leading citizens. exchange
visits for the purpose of obtaining first
hand information on public questions.
THAT the agency Of the motion pic
ture be employed in both countries to
diffuse knowledge of geography. Gus

SARANAC Is "FLY-LESS."
Health Officer Gets Rid Of Flies by De

Saranac Lake. N. Y. Aug. 27.----Health
authorities of Saranac Lake Ydeclare
that this probably is the first lily LESS
town" in the world. Health Officer
Tremb!ey reports that despite unusu-
ally hot weather in June and July,
there are hardly any more flies here
than most places have in January and
that next year there will be none at all.
1t cost the town about $1,000 to Grad
icate the fly nuisance which was &C
complished by requiring that manure
be screened and frequently removed.
DR.. Trembley regards swat the fly
campaigns as useless and says the
only way to eliminate flies is to put a
ban on all their breeding places, and
he adds, that this can be done.
