WOMAN AND HER SHOES.
Exquisite Torture Caused by Some
of the Smartest Footgear.
There is much talk nowadays of
the injury done to women's feet by
the smart footgear of the day. The
people who understand such things
declare that the very high heels and
pointed toes tend to break down the
arch of the foot, or if this is not done
the joint of the great toe is pushed
niarp and the ufidy jutting out
^which disfigures so many feet ensues.
The woman or girl who has tormented
her poor feet to this extent lays
the blame on everything but her
vanity. She thinks that bootmakers
lave lost their skill, that new shoes
meed always to be broken in and so
<on, when the simple realization that
shoes are too narrow and pointed,
heels too high and the boot itself
perhaps a half size smaller than it
should be, would explain it all and

the future.
Of all the agonies the foot can
least endure the boot too narrow and
with high heels is the thing to be
?. feared.
The structure of the foot is extremely
delicate, though formed to
tea.T the weight of the body when it
Sfe-.. , iS properly balanced. There is a
system of arches and piers, the
strongest pier" being in the heel, and
the extremest curve of inner arch
forming the instep. Any boots or
shoes which throw undue pressure
upon the forward pier, which is the
- "ball of the foot, hold it without the
( elasticity needed and so flatten the
arch and broaden the foot. The extreme
forms of high French heels
transfer most of the body weight

tion between the instep and toes,
where there are a series of small
joints, with delicate sockets, not
*?:\> formed to bear the hard work thrown
upon them.
??} ?) If such footgear is worn long,
p' broken arches are likely to follow,
t>ut the girl herself will be the last
5fe . to know where her trouble is. The
condition is recognized by doctors as
a very dangerous one for the general
fliealth, and when they are called in
to examine persons for such public
ly. service that requires physical fitness
the owner of the broken arch
never passes the examination. A
medical survey of factory workers
Ife*' also takes cognizance of the arch of
the foot, and if the examiner is very
SJ clever he knows at a glance where
IpT* to find the broken arch. The workcr
who has it may be splayfooted, or
liave a pasty complexion with dull
eyes-?the machinery of all the body
ji?> -will seem out of gear.
/ So aside from the exquisite torture
it causes?for it is the most tor'
xnenting pain imaginable?there is
gp the fact that feet so injured put one
hi. cut of the race.
Naturally placed upon the ground,
the heels get the" greater weight of

??|;|- with walking and moving about; the
p|: " great toe takes a grip upon the floor
v." of earth with movement, and at the
inside of the foot there is a hollow
I which is the inner curve of the arch.
Wet the foot, place it upon the floor
and then look at the impression; if
there is no indication of this hollow,
the impression showing a straigtish
inner line, you may be sure that
your arch is going or is already gone.
The high instep once thought merely
an indication of good birth is the
. proper standard for health and beauty,
that is, some degree or other of
it. Nature never meant to have any
flat footed children.
To close this particular point of
the subject let me advise young
girls who suffer from any degree of
flat-footedness to get the arch supports
sold in all good shoe stores.
These are fitted to boots and slippers
and the relief they give is immense.
For the reet be sure and

enough no harm will result. Feet
fcept in good condition with proper
walking gear will stand a good deal
of nonsense with the dress-up moment.
It is the torment of practical
everyday footgear that puts them out
of kilter.
Girls inclined to hat foot should
not wear slippers without heels, or
walk much barefoot, even about the*
"bedroom. A frequent change of
shoes and stockings, too, is required
"by the sensitive foot, the one that
easily tires with any shoe, however,
comfortable, that swells with warm
weather or perspires unduly. Such
feet, and all others, too, for that
matter, should be bathed once a day
with roap and warm water; after this
a rub with cologne or rum will help

SO ..laraen me iuui, tuia n mere is
pain in the instep bathing with a
very weak solution of bicorbonate of
soda will help to allay it. Any manipulation
of the feet with the
hands is excellent after the bath,
such as rubbing the big toe joint toward
the toe tip, working the ankle
HOW ABOUT "SIDE DRESSING?'*
The Kind of Fertilizer to Apply and
the Time to Do It.
Dr. D. N. Barrow, South Carolina
Field Editor of the Progressive
Farmer, says:
The farmers of this State have
bought from 15 to 20 per cent, more
fertilizer than they used last year
and the bill is still growing.
The most common question to-day
among the farmers is, "How about
'side dressing?' " Many, not content
with placing large quantities in the
ground at the time of planting, are
following this up with side dress
ings?sometimes with every cultivation.
Nor are they particular as to
what they use as a side dressing. As
often as not this is a complete fertilizer,
many times a combination of
nitrogen and potash, and, of course,
nearly always nitrogen.
I have nothing to say against the
use of nitrogen in the form of nitrate
of soda or some other easily
soluble form, when used at the right
time. But it does seem unwise, to
say the least, to go to the trouble
and expense of making side applications
of both potash and phosphoric
acid. When we remember that these
two Substances are rarely if ever
leached from the soil and that both,
even when in a so-called soluble
i
form, requires some little time to
become available to the plant, it
does look useless to go to this extra
expense. I think there are very few
who follow this practice who can
shoV any material gain from side
applications of either of these substances.
When used in connection
with nitrate of soda, of course, the
mixture shows a gain. But would
not there have been equally as large
a gain had the nitrate of soda alone
hppn nspfi? Thifi T verv much sus
pect.
Personally I have never seen any
evidence of gain from making a side
application of either the phosphorus
or potash, and I am convinced that
that many a dollar is wasted by this
practice. On the other hand there
is no question of the economy of
side applications of easily soluble nitrates
in the form of nitrate of soda.
The most approved times for this application,
in quantities of from 75 to
100 pounds per acre: for corn, about
the time it bunches to tassel; for cotton
about first blooms; and for
grain (winter,) from February 15th
to March 1st.
Such applications will be found
especially valuable if the crop is
backward from any cause. But it is
much surer and at the same time
cheaper to apply all of the phosphoric
acid and potash at the time
of .planting. In fact, there is some
danger of failure to derive any benefit
from either of these if their application
is delayed until after the
plant is well started.
Sensationl Suit.
Nashville, Tenn., April 20.?Alleging
that through "coercion, fear,
fraud, force, duress and undue influence,"
Thorns J. Felder and wife of
Kentucky obtained control over both
the body and mind of Mrs. Anna. H.
Murphy, widow of Sam M. Murphy,
forced her to adopt them and are
seeking to illegally inherit from her
property estimated in value at $1,250,000,
Thomas Buck and wife, of
this city, filed suit in the chancery
court yesterday praying that the
adoption proceedings be declared null
and void. They also ask that as a
second cousin of Mrs. Murphy, Mrs.
Buck be declared an heiress of Mrs.
Murphy's personal estate, valued at
$250,000.

WHEN IT PANS TO REPLANT.
Four Methods that Will Save Annoy- <
ance of Replanting.
_______
The principal work on all Southern
farms during the next week will
I be the finishing of planting and giving
the first cultivations of the crops.
The harrow is the implement that
should be used for these early cultivations.
On the heavier lands or
where the lands have not been most
thoroughly prepared, the weeder will
not be so serviceable. On the sandy
lands where the "trash" has been
thoroughly cut up or plowed under
the weeder will be of great searvice
to the one-horse farmer.
The Problem of Replanting.
There is one perplexing problem,
however, that comes up nearly every
year, which the farmer must solve
without very much definite knowlnAcra
r?r fant nn which to base his
decision. We refer to the question
of replanting. Two sorts of conditions
bring up this difficult problem
of determining whether replanting is
necessary or advisable. One of these
is when frost comes and damages
the crop after a good stand has come
up. The other is when from bad
seed, bad weather or other conditions,
a faulty stand is secured.
Both'of these problems are more
likely to arise the tearlier the crop
is planted and yet, all things considered,
one year with another, the
crops that are planted as soon as the
soil and air are warm enough to produce
reasonably rapid growth, produce
best. This fact leads to the
planting of some of the crops too
early nearly every year, and in some
years in planting nearly all the crops
earlier than is best for that particular
year. For these reasons,
some crops are injured by frost very
frequently and some years to a large
extent.
When frost sufficient to seriously
injure the crop occurs, the question
of replanting is a serious and difficult
problem. There is no rule by which
the farmer can be guided. If, however,
the date of injury is late, so
that the crop of replanted is apt to
meet unfavorable conditions' of
drouth or frost, so as to interfere
with its proper maturity, one should
be slow to take the chances of replanting.
The injury must be great
and beyond all doubt to justify replanting
under such conditions.
Don't Be Too Easily Frightened.
On the other hand, if the date of
injury be rather early, so that there
is still time for the crop to mature
under favorable conditions for the
best yield, then a comparatively
slight injury to the stand o* anything
like a serious injury of the plants
will fully justify replanting.
The absence of good seed may be
another reason for the avoidance of
replanting, but the cost of the seed
is so much less than the value of the
crop, or than the difference between
a good crop and even a partial failure,
that this item should not have 1
much influence in determining whether
replatning is advisable.
There is one other matter that
should be kept in mind in deciding
whether to replant after injury by
frost,. and that is, that the plants
look worse hurt immediately after
the frost than a few days later, and (
if the injury does not appear to be
certainly enough to justify replant- (
ing immediately after the frost, it (
is quite certain replanting will not ,
appear necessary a few days later.
"Patchy" Replatning.
When a poor stand is obtained
from bad seed, or unfavorable weather,
or improper preparation of the
seed bed, whether to replant or at- !
tempt to make a crop with the stand ]
obtained, or to try to patch up the
stand, is also a perplexing problem.
With a slow-growing crop like cot- (
ton an attempt to patch up the stand 1
by replanting those places where
there has been failure to secure a 1
stand is likely to be more sucessful 1
than with corn, but as a general rule, 1
with almost all crops, it is not profit- 1
able to try to improve the stand in f
this way. With corn, for instance,
the first planting gets such a start
of the plants from the later planting
that they send their roots through
the soil and later shade the late 1
plants so that these later plants are .
robbed of their share of food and
sunshine and fail to pay the cost of
seed and labor of replanting. If a 1
stand is so defective that a fair crop
can not be made, then it becomes a
question as to whether it shall be en- .
tirely replanted, or the land put into ,
some other crop more suitable to the
late season. j
Much can be done towards prevent- (
ing the necessity for deciding the
question of whether it is advisable 1
to replant, by (1) a thoughtful study ,
of average conditions other years, as '
regards the best time to plant; (2) j
by a better preparation of the land; ^
(3) by regulating the depth of plant- ,
ing by the condition of the soil and
weather, and (4) by planting good ^
strong seed. .
If the crop is not planted too early i
replanting is not likely to be requir- i
ed, but if the stand is defective it i
must be quite bad to justify replanting,
and in a very few cases will par- :
REFUSES TO OUST MAGISTRATE.
Judge Watts Dismisses Petition for
Rule to Show Cause.
Greenwood, April 21.?Judge
Watts here this afternoon declined
to issue an order requiring Magistrate
Kerr to turn over to J. W. Canfield,
Gov. Blease's appointee, the
books and papers belonging to the
office of magistrate at Greenwood.
Judge Watts held that the title to
the office was involved and that he
could not try the title in a proceeding
of the kind brought by the attorneys
for Mr. Canfield. The rule heretofore
issued by Judge Watts in this case
was heard on the petition and
affidavit of Mr. Canfield attached and
on the return of Mr. Kerr and affidavit
of Senator C. A. C. Waller attached.
The petition, among other
things, alleged that the appointment
of Mr. Canfield was a recess appointment
and demanded possession of
the books and papers of the magistrate's
office.
The return of Mr. Kerr denied
that the appointment was regular
and put the question of title to the
office in issue.
The Contentions.
It was contended by the attorneys
for Mr. Canfield that on the authority
of the case of Whipple and
the Seibels case they were entitled to
a rule requiring Mr. Kerr to turn
over the books and papers of the
office. The attorneys for Mr. Kerr
contended that the doctrine of those
cases applied only where there was
a prima facie title to the office
shown by the record and that in this
case such did not appear, but on the
contrary the title to the office was in
issue and the court could not try the
question of title to the office on a
rule to show cause. They relied on
the case of Bullock vs. McMillan and
other cases.
No Prejudice.
Judge Watts held that in order to
grant the rule he would necessarily
be required under the allegations of
the return to try the title to the of?

nee, wmcn question ue ixiuiu uut gu
into in a proceeding of this kind,
and passed an order to this effect,
without prejudice of the right of
either party to bring-such a proceeding
as they might desire to test the
title to the office.
The next move belongs to Mr. Canfield
now, and it remains to be seen
what this will be.
Senator Calls Senator "Liar."
Springfield, 111., April 20.?With
a shout "You're a liar," Senator
Funk, of Bloomington, struck Senator
Jones, of Chicago, on, the jaw,
during a Republican caucus to-day.
Other senators mixed'in, while Jones
pulled off his, glasses and made
frantic efforts to strike back. Order
was restored.
The row was started by a discus*

attempting to smother the initiative

Lexington, Ky., April 19.?After
saying part of the ceremony that was

Oldham yetserday stopped to
3lear his throat just before repeating
the words, "I now pronounce you
man and wife." This throat clearing
m the part of the squire saved Stanford
$2, but lost him a wife. Before
the ceremony could be completed
a deputy clrek rushed into Oldham's
office, exclaiming: "Hold on,
squire, don't do that!"
The clerk then explained tnat a notice
filed with the county clerk by
Stanford's mother gave his age at 19

after the license had been issued.

Detecting Sporios Money.
Sooner or later all bad money is ]
discovered and destroyed. Most
hankers take lessons in detecting
bad money. They are first taught
to find out what constitutes good
money, and then to discover the 1
false. Good money is made with *
delicate and elaborate machinery j
and is always perfect in every de- i
tail. ]
Cqunterfeiters can not obtain such 1
machinery and have to resort to comparatively
clumsy means of repro- (
ducing the bills. . Coins can not be i
duplicated, for their perfection 1
comes from their being stamped out ^
of cold metal under hydraulic press- (
ure. i
It is claimed that in the business J
world the losses from counterfeit
money are not nearly as great as j
those from worthless checks. There 1
has been a new law passed to the ef- 1
feet that anyone having in his pos- J
session a counterfeit piece of money :
?knowing it to be such?will be i
liable to arrest in case he should not
turn it in to the proper authorities. {
