About twenty-five years ago the
Old Blewett mine produced large
quantity of gold. Disagreement by
the partners in the business was fol
lowed by gun play. and some Of the
victims of this pastime lie today in
long forgotten graves on the noun
tainside near the old mill 4 long
fight in the courts followed and little
had been done in the way Of develop
ment since that time, and the mill.
mines and machinery were allowed to
fall into a state of dilapidation Bat
now all is changed and the place Is
the scene Of great activity and enter
prise. Some idea of the value and
importance of tho Old Blewett mine
may be formed when we realize that
rcarly thirty years ago the erection
Of the mill and machinery alone cost
over ninety-fve thousand dollars.
Mr. Brown is enthusiastic over the
prospects and invites everyone inter
estcd in mines and mining to visit the
plant. He will gladly show visitors
through the mines and explain the op-
Grafton Of extracting the gold from
the refractory orc. He bespcaks a
new era of gold production and activ-
ity in the Old Blcwctt mine.
The new highway leading from
ngles creek to the mine was complet-
ed last fall and being one of tho best
pieces of road in this section leading
to Leavcnworth, and delightful
summer auto trip, this city will no
doubt reap the benefit Of the activity
at the mine.

FIRST SILK HAT A aRloTp

John Hetherington was a prosper ous haberdasher in the Strand, Lon don, but his career had not been note worthy until he conceived the idea that the time was ripe to introduce novelty in headgear, and accordingly, on January Is, 1797, crossed his threshold wearing the first silk hat.
 In our own frontier days. it seemed to be quite impossible for a cowboy to see a silk hat without feeling an ire sistible impulse to shoot at it, and something of the same spirit must have existed in London two centuries ago, for no sooner had the first silk hat appeared than trouble started. An excited throng gathered about the owner, and this crowd soon increased to such a dangerous extent that the authorities had to interfere. The next morning the daring haberdasher was brought before the lord mayor charged with walking down a public highway wearing upon his head a tall structure having a shining luster cal culated to alarm timid people"
 Witnesses gave evidence that wo- men had tainted, that children had had sustained a broken arm through the violence of the mob. Hethering ton asserted his rights as an English man to wear such clothing as he saw fit. but the lord mayor took another view of the matter and ordered the defendant to find sureties in the sum of $5,ooo for his future good beha- | viour.-New York Evening Post.

 LONDON-A peep behind the scenes of starving Germany was given today by Frau Schreiber Krieger, a member of the German Reichstag, who came to London to attend the second Interna- tional Economic conference.
 Visitors Get Wrong Impression
 Visitors to Germany" said Frau Schreiber, .get. as rule, a totally wrong impression of real conditions. If they have money and stay at the big hotels they can get almost anything they want. and with the mark down, of course things appear cheap to them.
 "And if they stop with friends, nag- urally those friends make great effort to properly entertain them.
 "Great distress and poverty exist among large masses of the people. In many respects we are worse off than when the armistice was signed. Tn the middle classes incomes have not risen in the same proportion as they have among the working people, and the latter are leading miserable existences. Thousands of people wnu had worked hard all their lives and had saved up for their old age, or who were living on the interest of money in- vested, are now absolute paupers.
 tAn unmarried working man or wom- an can just earn sufficient to make a bare living. A working man with a family, however, cannot.
 Unemployment Situation is Dreadful "The question of unemployment is a dreadful one. Most of the workers are on half time; the rest work but a few hours, one or two days a week. The little work there is to be done Is being stretched out.
 "The great difficulty is our economic crssis is the fact that nothing is stabil- ized. The constantly fiuctuatinG rate

of exchange makes it almost impossible for business men to operate. If the rate goes up we cannot export; # it goes down we cannot buy.
 We could get some kind of order if only the coal question were to be set tied
 People Not Lost Habits of Thrift
 "Our people have not lost their old habits of thrift and industry Amer jeans who have been in Germany re- gently have been astonished at the ac- tiyity of our people What they have to do the German workers do with all their proverbial thoroughness. That is largely due to the trade unions, which have kept the men together
 But food the workers must have. or anything may happen. If the workers remain underfed they are likely to go to extremes to improve conditions.
 '"The continued lack of food has re- suited in a great increase in tubercu- losis and rickets. There are thousands of young children in Germany today who can neither sit nor stand
 "One of the worst features of ccndi- tious in Germany is the almost total collapse Of all intellectual life.
 '1n Munich 20 or 30 per cent of the doctors are in receipt of the unem- ployment allowance. Patients cannot afford to go to the doctors.
 Cost of Medicines is Soaring
 "The cost of medicines hac gone up to unparalleled heights. For instance, morphine used to be 300 marks a kilo it Is now 11,000. Codeine has gone up from 315 marks to 13,0o0 marks a kilo; and cocaine from 155 to l5.000 marks a kilo
 Without the help of the allies and friends of all nations the situation in Germany would be very much worse than it is.n

 Sweating Feet
 Excessive sweating of the feet may be due to poor health, to nervousness, to the disturbance Of circulation due to arch troubles. or 1t may be simply personal peculiarity. Tn some cases decomposition of the sweat leads to troublesome odor, not rarely too much reckoning and skin inflammation.
 Bathing with medicated alcohol and water and the use of talcum or alum talcum powder give great relief and may cure. Formaldehyde solutions, more effective. should not be employed on the feet except under medical su- pervision. In cases of troublesome odor. however, 1t is usally advisable to disinfect the shoes with formaldehyde in addition to treating the feet

WOMAN IN RusINEss

It is now many years since two sets of manners toward women became the conventional thing with men. Ever since woman invaded mans hereditary kingdom of business, the world has been conscious of an accelerated slip ping away of those little formalities whih were the outward and visible sign7 of an inner reverence for na- ture's most beautiful fact-that wo- man is the giver of the greatest of all gifts, life.
 Thinking men and women alike have deplored this tendency, not for the sake of the personal deference ac- corded women, but because of the realization that all conventions, even the mere manners of social usage, are the outgrowth of those fundamentals upon which civilization rests.
 Women have long since observed. smiled over and passed by such fine distinctions as hats off in depart ment store and hotel elevators and hats on in elevators of office buildings. But the rapidity with which the bars are being let down in more serious ways by the younger business genera ton, is not thing to smile over. Wo- men executives, instinctively feminine, know this.
 Nevertheless they are smiling; smiling with a studied politeness that has but one intent, and that is the re- establishment of a single code of man ners. They are deliberately forcing, by according men in business the same courtesy they receive from men socially, a gradual return of those outward signs whih mean an inner protective chivalry for "the greatest gift"

Q. Can you tell me what causes a sediment like cornmeal in a childs urine that has set over mighty
 A. There are various causes for for nation of sediment in the urine in standing. Tn fact, the formation of such sediment is the usual thing. Tn summer the sediment is often the re- suit of decom .osition of the urine be- cause of the hc weather. Under these circumstances, sediment consists large ly of alkaline phosphates. Tn cold weather, the sediment may form readily without any decomposition of the urine. and is due to the precipitation of .urates. In this case. the sediment dis appears on warming the urine. Unless your child is not well, you are prob ably worrying unnecessarily about the sediment which appears in the urine when this has set over night

 A. There is no simple test which you could make to determine whether water is fit to drink. Such tests require the services of experts. and the tests should embrace not merely chemical tests, but also bacteriological examinations and, above all. a sanitary survey of the well and its surroundings. If you are in doubt about the quality of your drink ing water. speak to your local health officer, and see if he cannot advise you. It is also suggested that you write to your state department of health.
