A Link With Rousseau.

A well-known writer in Paris, M.
Remezy. can, IL he chooses, step into
Jean Jacques Rousseau's shoes-shoes,
moreover, that the great genius made
himself. The Paris correspondent of
the London Evening Standard tells
their interesting story:
In the little village of Ermenonville,
where Rousseau Is buried, there was
an inn where he often went. Giard,
the ~innkeeper, was an intimate friend
of Rousseau, and he kept on the top
Of a cupboard a pair of wooden shoes
that Rousseau had made. Jean
Jacques, after wearing them himself,
had given them to the %innkeeper.
In the early days of the nineteenth
century the poet Fabre d'Eglantine
visited the little inn, saw the shoes
with a paper label on them, and of
fered to buy one for goo or to give
$500 for the pair. The offer was re,
fused.
When the %innkeeper died he left the
sabots to his granddaughter, and she
at her death left them to her nephew.
M. Paul Bleuze, who sold them or gave
them to Nj. Remezy.

DIZZINESS is
As Many Madison People Know Too
Well


When the kidneys are weak or dis
ordering, they fall behind in filtering
the blood OF poisoas. AS these poi
sons attack the nerves, the result Ia
felt in spells of vertigo, just as drunk
enness will make a man dizzy from
the poisoning of alcohol. Dizziness,
headache, backache and irregularity
of the kidney secretions are all signs
of weak or disordered kidneys and
should not be neglected. Use Doan's

m oters Of the referendum scheme
cannot hope ana probably do not hope
to win the ten states necessary to

by carrying such a referendum In a

can use such wet victory as an

attempt to prove that a Revision Of
