THE CLINTON NEW ERA S gyp` a n•) 3r 23, 19J.$ Foot:Fitters' Conv Slater "Foot -Form" Shape. This shape is an old favorite, the most comfortable and foot -fitting yet produced. It is on the English style of last, with a rounded curve on outer edge of sole, tapering inward to a narrow point at the toe, which is flat and comparatively soft, though boxed with a fairly stiff leather. A feature of the "Foot -Form" is that it will fit a large foot com- fortably with a shoe which seems smaller than the foot, this effect being se- cured by the ingen- ious curve which fol- lows the line of the toot, but ends in a deceptive point, It has allthe fit and comfort of a broad -toed shoe, and the man who wears the right size should never have corns. Laced, Buttoned, Congress, Imitation Button Congress, and Oxford. All colors, 14 sizes, widths B to E. Goodyear Welted, Slater method. $3.00, $4.0o and $5.00. The Slater " Commonses e " Shape, The Slater " Flat Tread" Shape. The tread of certain feet is flatter than that of others, shorter from heel to ball of foot, longer from that to tips of toes. Feet like these are powerful and 1 not easily wearied, t but much c,f their strength is lost in the ordinary shoe, the sole of which curves sharply upwards, bringing all the strain of a flat foot on the toes, and bending it unnaturally at the ball. 14 sizes, 5 widths, all colors, Laced, Congress, and Oxford. Goodyear Welted - Slater method. $3, $4 and $5 Business men should, wear this, shoe for its sensible, high gra, snwle-tovrder appearance. It is the midst comftutable of all the American models, tapering very littlein width from across ban of foot to toe, which is round and full, but not high, with a box pliant and roomy, without being clay or wide Wig, as a square -toed shoe of equal size would be.

OsNarrower than the "Beau -Ideal" with same straight outside line of sole (American type) high, stiff, box toe without ridge, round- ed and moderately full at point. The characteristic of this shoe is its tylish effect, which has made it a favorite with Parisian wearers, twice as many pairs of this shape as of any other being sold by the Slater Shoe Agency, Avenue de l'Op&xa, Paris. It is particularly suited to young men who dress well, and realize that the finishing touch consists in wearing a shoe which has in its shape that peculiar atmosphere of style and slenderness which marks the "Aristocrat." Laced, Buttoned, Congress, Oxford, all leathers, all colors, 14 sizes, Goodyear Welted, Slater Method. $3.00, $4.0o and $5.00. The "S \/J AN has been wonderfully and curiously made, but his feet were never intended to be the curiosities which many of then are. Modern footwear (read foot -prisons) has transformed his feet from sources of comfort and support to painy, distorted nerve centres. They have been forced into shoes modelled on ideal lasts, the conceptions of workers in wood, who never studied the peculiarities of feet. To complete the work of destruction these " ideal " shoes (save the mark) are varnished with waxy dressings which close up the pores of the leather, and in these dank, ill-fitting dungeons, man's feet have sweltered and absorbed poisons thrown off by perspiration, which should have escaped through the leather pores plugged with wax and varnish. Then came the ++ Slater shoe " made to fit these distorted feet and to preserve the shapes of the few that remain normal. Every kind of men's feet were studied -a. general average of classified distortions was struck and after months of study special lasts were made modelled to fit real human feet not merely the ideal of a last designer's conception: Allowances for style and changing fashions must be made but the interior -foot shape -of the "Slater Shoe" never varies -like a room that may look longer or narrower, larger or smaller according as it is furnished and decorated -but it is always the same sized and shaped room. After the shapes had been selected, the dressing was studied. You could not live in a house with the doors and windows all sealed up. Neither can your foot remain healthy in a shoe coated and air proof with the wax and varnish of common dressings. ...Slater Shoe Polish " is made to protect "Slater Shoes " and the feet they cover. It is a thin oily fluid that sinks into the leather, freeds its fibres, slakes its thirst -the plague of fine leather --and leaves a fine powder (not a wax paste that cracks the leather as soon as it is thick enough) that burnisaes, the actual leather like emery does steel. These then are the homes in which you are invited to comfortably install feet with corns, or bunions or bad nails or calloused soles or painy joints, and they fit the first time they are worn, and always afted, because the shrink and stretch has been forever taken out of them by remainirg six days on their lasts. (N , B. -.Common Shoes are only on the lasts one day.) Matchless, footfitting, Goodyear elted - tackless, lumpless sole's". -41 - A SLATER SHOE DEMONSTRATION.

A recent arrival from the Canadian Fl, Dorado, is Mr William Sloan, who, with. Mrs. Sloan and hie sister-in.law, +kiipq, l guest Mr. S oanis aold Ontario Queen's o oy or Hotel! o b, more specific, an old Huron boy, and has:.. spent the last three years of hie life in the region whioh has now attained a world- wide hae "donetprettylrSloan is understood well, ' but his own deo meaner, at once cheerful, and modest,.. baffles the curious, and leaves them to their own surmises as to the amount of his pile. There has been so h conflicting talk about the government ot the Yukon that 4' there was a natural disposition to obtain.. the opinion of one who had lived under the: laws and regulations of the region and had known by personal experience their good and bad points. Mr. Sloan was quite frank. He said -giving the substance and not the exact words -there ie some foun- dation for the discontent, and there is much exaggeration. He does not believe in the royalty. He admits that the peo- ple of the Klondide ought to pay for the servives which they are receiving from the • Dominion. And he declares that that service, so far as the preservation of law and order is concerned, is simply admir- able. Had it not been for the British,flag, and the moral as well as the physical in- fluence of 'the flag, and the admirable ar- rangements for the protection of life and property, the region "would have flowed in blood." But he says that the burden of taxation is not fairly distributed. . It hits the working minor too hard. It does not touch the gambler, the saloonkeeper the restaurant keeper and those who make money oat of the necessities of the miner or Dater to his amusement, who take fewer chances than he, and who, as a class, make more money. Mr. Sloan puts the case of the miner in this way : The royalty of 20 per cent is levied on the gross output. An exception - illy rich property costs from 30 to 50 per cent. of the output to work. If the ex- pense is 50 r cent. on his net t. Bat f the property be poor the expense seis proportionately greater. If, for instance, the expense is 70 per cent, the profit is 30, and 10 per cent on the gross output is 33 1.3 per cent on the net. Now, to show the ether side of the ease, a very ordinary meal, ;a steak and onions and a glass of ale or porter costs $14. A hall opened for dancing, etc„ took in $7,- 800 on the first night. The people who cater to these wants make far more money, #. and with lees risk, than the average miner, and they pay nothing. They have ale() this [advantage: they sell at prices away beyond the prices of the older Provinces - often times as great -but the import duties are not increased in proportion. The rem- sdj< reposes is that the royalty be abolished an export duty imposed on the gold. His idea is t S•f-4}jgex�ort. dnty; although falling in the first instance'0i the man who exports the metal, will eventually be gairly distributed over the whole com- munity. At the same time that Mr Sloan recog- nizes the existence of a genuine grievance, he believes that there is also a good deal of unreasonable grumbling at the laws and officials. American citizens, in particular, are far better treated than Canadians who seek their fortunes in Alaska, and who are made to feel that they are aliens, discrim- inated against by American law, and toler- ated, is at all, only by the good nature of their American fellow -miners -the Ameri- can individual being usually much better than the American law, Mr. Sloan's:view as to the Yukon officials is that they should not deal it] mining properties, but that their salaries should, be fixed on ascale• commensurate with the cost of living in the Klondike. A salary of 34,000 or $5,009 he points out, sounds big in this part of Canada, but there it is only about equal to the wages of a miner working all the year round. He has the utmost confidence in Mr, Ogilvie, and awaits with interest the result of his in- quiry into the government of the country and the various complaints that have been made. He says that the trouble in the Mounted Police arose from their being asked to pack a quantity of gold dust. They took the position that they were bound, and were perfectly willing, to act as a guard for the transportation party, but that they were not engaged as laborers. There seems to be a good deal of public sympathy with this view. But the dispute does not in the least impair the usefulness of the military body for the the purpose of preserving order. The general discipline is good, the spirit is good, and the men simply stand out for their rights on this particular question. Mrs Gladstone is reported to be in ill health. In Rankin township, G. Radke's twin sons, aged three years, were found drowned in a well. Mr J.E, Wells, LL.D., editor of the Can- adian Baptist, died Sunday night after a brief illness. Rev.
