Earned at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, the second-class master. TRADE OFFICE COUNCIL CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1901. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. "Chivalrous" white brutes of Girard, La., on the night of the 15thynched Louis Thomas, an Afro-American, for stealing a bottle of pop. It will soon be dangerous for our people in some sections of the south to look upon food, drink and clothing not their own. Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell, the retiring president of the National Association of Colored Women, certainly demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of all her ability to lead and rule. In the association's annual convention at Buffalo last week she not only "bumped" Mrs. Lawson, of Washington, but also "floored" Mrs. Washington, of Tuskegee. Mrs. Terrell is a positive quantity beyond all question or doubt—an energetic and aggressive woman of education and ability and a credit to the race. A few years ago the national organization of bicyclists (white) was "sweating blood" over the question as to whether or not "Major" Taylor, the greatest Afro-American cyclist, should ride in its contests throughout the country. Since then the "little wonder" has wrested the championship of America from his white competitors and crossed the ocean, beating Jacquelin, a Frenchman, champion cyclist of Europe. Last week the spectacle was presented of this same national bicycle association fining this same "Major" Taylor $100 because illness prevented his participation in one of their races at Providence, R. I. Great is the change (as far as the N. C. A. is concerned) in the "major's" case in a few years, and far greater is the "assinical" American prejudice. In spite of it all, the Afro-American is progressing slowly but surely. The southern white people who are yelling for Chinese labor to replace that furnished by the Afro-American in that section, ought to have the experience which a compliance with their demand would bring, if it were not for the injury that others would sustain. If some of these fool howlers would only go to the Pacific coast and get familiar with the condition there as the result of an influx of Chinese, there would come an immediate end to their howling. If it were not for the suffering among our people in that section the introduction of Chinese labor would bring, we would almost be willing to pray that these southern howlers be satisfied in the matter of the introduction of Chinese labor into the south. They have enjoyed the "gold mine" of cheap Afro-American labor so long that they would kill "the goose that laid the golden egg," in order to further give vent to their contemptible color and race prejudice. Two Italians were lynched and another mobbed in Washington county, Mississippi, a few nights ago, and great are the efforts made through the columns of the daily press of the country to make people believe that the "white trash" of that county committed the crimes and that the "best citizens deeply deplore" and "regret such unwarranted lawlessness," etc. NONSENSE! The trouble is that the Mississippi authorities have been "up against" similar propositions and know that the lynchers must be punished or a good fat indemnity paid to Italy for relatives of the (unnaturalized) Italian subjects killed. This shows what could be done in the case of Afro-Americans lynched in that section if the authorities and the people of southern states feared and respected their own government as much as they do some of the foreign powers. The lynchings of Italians at Tallulah and New Orleans in years past cost a good many thousand dollars in indemnities and have not been forgotten. They, too, were Italian subjects and not naturalized Americans. THE WASHINGTONS. Mrs. Booker T. Washington certainly met a Waterloo in last week's annual convention of the National Association of Colored Women. According to the dispatches to the daily newspapers Mr. and Mrs. Washington saw fit to ignore a reception being held by the association in order to attend the one held in her honor by a prominent club of white women in Buffalo, with the result noted above. If this is true, our ladies in the convention who brought about her defeat when a candidate for the presidency of the organization, did a very proper thing. It may be all right from a financial standpoint, as far as Booker T. Washington and Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute are concerned, for Mr. and Mrs. Washington to "place the white people first," but it is not all right for the manly person, male and female, of our class, to stand it, especially whenever there is an opportunity to rebuke such mistreatment. It is, too, both aggravating and amusing to note the unflagging persistency with which the white people of this country endeavor to make Afro-Americans accept Mr. Washington as their "Moses" and leader when his work and position make such a thing or condition, as far as he is concerned, absolutely impossible. We do not mean to say that he is not a leader in the industrial movement along educational lines, and concede him the credit for the great work he is doing in his school at Tuskegee, Ala. We are also mindful of the fact that some of the methods he pursues to accomplish his wonderful results are very hurtful indeed to the Afro-American of the north. EASILY SATISFIED. Judging by the amount of slobber, quite a number of our exchanges have gone daft over the recent speech of fire-eater Foraker at the Ohio republican convention. This is the way of pap seekers and time servers. With them words go for deeds, and all that is necessary to start them to slobbering over is to deal out a few high-sounding, well-rounded sentences about the colored man and brother. Mr. Foraker's party is in control of every department of the national government. He, himself, is a member of the upper house of congress. If he really thinks the Negro is being wronged, why hasn't he done something? He has had ample opportunity to secure the passage of a measure to insure the rights of the Afro-American that he is so solicitous about—on convention day. The president has had an equally ample opportunity to recommend the passage of such a law in his messages to congress, but he failed to do so. Practice is better than preaching, and an ounce of action is better than a ton of oratory.—Indianapolis World. We commend the above to our contemporaries especially, for careful reading and thought, and would also call their attention to the fact that the last congress with its republican majority not only failed to reduce the congress representation of several southern states which in recent years have adopted laws disfranchising thousands of our people, but also had the "gall" to increase the representation of two or three of these states. Not one of the many prominent republican senators and representatives raised a voice in protest, and too, in face of the fact that a section of the United States constitution requires that a decrease in congress representation SHALL follow such disfranchisement as these southern states are guilty of. THAT "JIM CROW ANNEX." With a citizens' committee of two or three hundred members from which all sub-committees are taken, we fail to see the necessity and wisdom of the appointment of a committee for any purpose, the members of which are not members of the citizens' general committee. The appointment of a "colored committee" for the very evident purpose of shifting to our people the care of the Afro-American ex-soldiers and friends who attend the G. A. R. encampment to be held here this fall, ought to be followed by the appointment of Irish, German, Bohemian, Jewish and other race or class committees, for the care of the ex-soldiers of the various nationalities who will also attend the encampment. To be consistent and prove that they are not intentionally drawing the colorline and creating a "Jim Crow annex" for purposes obvious, the citizens' executive committee must at once appoint two or more of these other race or class committees. To say that they are following precedents established in other cities where the national encampment has been held, is no argument in favor of a "Jim Crow tag end" committee in Cleveland for this fall or any other time, or for this or any other purpose, because there is only one Cleveland in the Western Reserve of this country. By this last we mean there is no city of its size in the country where there is so little excuse for such ridiculous action. The citizens' executive committee could have saved itself much humiliation had it conferred with leading Afro-Americans before taking the insulting action referred to. If they do not desire to provide for the Afro-American ex-soldiers just as they do for those of other classes, without any more reference to or consideration for their class or color, they should give way to broader-gauged men who can and will provide for the heroes of the war of the rebellion without any regard for class or color. We are perfectly willing, and so will be all of the ex-soldiers of color who visit our city this fall, to accept the care and treatment provided for all without reference to class or color. The oversight which resulted in a failure to place leading citizens of color upon the general and executive committees in charge of the coming G. A. R. encampment, should not lead the members of the latter into making a far greater and more aggravating mistake, namely, the creation and maintenance of a "Jim Crow tag end" committee. Cleveland has a reputation the country over for fairness in the matter of the treatment of Afro-Americans which all "Jim Crow" movements mar. This in addition to a personal feeling is what leads the intelligent and manly of our people as well as the broad-gauged whites to oppose such a disgraceful line of action as the creation of a "Jim Crow" committee, upon the part of the citizens' executive committee. We sincerely trust the obnoxious movement will be abandoned and that all concerned will understand that all calls upon the local public for assistance, etc., in the care of the old soldiers who will convene here this fall, will mean the same to and have a like effect upon the Afro-Americans of this community as upon all other loyal residents of every class. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1901. THE MOST PROMINENT IN OHIO The most prominent and the strongest colored man in the state of Ohio is, in the opinion of all the best thinking colored men in every part of the United States, that brave and fearless advocate of the people's rights, the Hon. H. C. Smith, of Cleveland, O. Mr. Smith has been a member of the legislature of Ohio for a number of years, and has made a splendid record for himself. He has been a loyal republican all his life, and has done more to help and advance the best interests of the colored people in the state of Ohio than any other man that we know of. Mr. Smith was a republican and was working for the success of the republican party, both state and national, and for the advancement of his race of people when George A. Meyers and J. A. Brown, of Ohio, did not know whether they were republicans or not. Mr. Smith is a man to be congratulated, for he does his own thinking and talking, not like Meyers and Brown and one or two other lesser, lights, who must at all times, before they speak or act, consult and get orders from their political masters. We have no patience or respect with that class of would-be and so-called political leaders. Mr. Smith's work in the legislature of Ohio will stand there as a monument to the people in this country, and it will be a bright and shining light, and it will forever adorn the pages of history when his enemies are dead and forgotten. Mr. Smith introduced a bill in the legislature, and it has become a law, known as the anti-lynching bill to suppress mob violence, which that alone has certainly been not only a credit to him but a credit and benefit to the people of Ohio, and it has set an example for many of the other states to follow. Can anybody point to one act that Meyers, Brown & Co. ever did to promote the interests of their race of people except only to complain and murmur what the Hon. H. C. Smith has accomplished? If Meyers and Brown have ever done one act to promote and advance the welfare of their race of people.or any other race, we would be pleased to have them, or some of their friends, tell us what it was and when it was done.-Chicago (Ill.) Citizens' Press. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Rev. A. A. Whitman, of Atlanta, Ga., poet and A. M. E. minister, died on June 29.

North Carolina has an accomplished Afro-American architect in the person of E. L. Thomas. In Concord, N. C., a city of 6,000 inhabitants, Warren Coleman, an Afro-American, owns 237 houses and lots. Seven teachers from Tuskegee (Ala.) Industrial institute will be employed in the Baltimore (Md.) colored High school, to succeed white teachers. They will introduce the system pursued at Tuskegee. Edward C. Paxton, of Philadelphia, recently donated to the board of directors a home for aged and infirm colored persons of that city. It is located on 44th street and Girard avenue. The heirs of "Click" Mitchell, who was lynched at Urbana, O., will get $5,000 damages allowed under the law. The law of Ohio makes the county in which a lynching occurs liable to that amount of damages for the heirs. Hon. H. C. Smith, the colored representative from Cleveland, is the author of that law.—Ex. The Atlanta Age misunderstood our purpose if it surmised that we in the least meant to detract from the credit due Hon. H. C. Smith for the passage of his anti-lynching bill by the legislature of Ohio when we commended the brave act of the Georgia sheriff who defended the life of a Negro prisoner against the assault of a brutal mob. Mr. Smith deserves the gratitude of the people for the excellent law which he secured in Ohio, but the brave sheriff in Georgia also deserves commendation for the brave and manly defense of a helpless prisoner from the vengeance of a frenzied mob. Both measures are effective and that is all we meant to say.—Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist. GEM CITY ITEMS Union Picnic—Social, Personal, Church and Other Items.

NOVA Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

The general committee recently appointed a special committee, composed of colored men, to take charge of the visiting colored troops. This committee was to have met Monday night, but only three members attended. The rest say they will not serve unless they get some representation on the general committee. Rev. Chas. Bundy said Tuesday: "We object to this 'Jim Crow' committee. If we have representation on the general committee we could handle the colored visitors without any special committee."—The Press. Revs. Dandridge Brookins, Doan, Turner, Jackson and Ferguson, as well as the Hon. H. C. Smith and thousands of others of our manly and womanly people in this city, are bitterly opposed to this latest "Jim Crow Annex." See article on page 1.

Smith, of The Cleveland Gazette, recently called on the governor and informed him of the violation of the law. The railroad commissioner of that state has had the signs pulled down.

Am I doomed to lose my health and good looks through suffering I can't prevent? Shall I be nervous and cross at twenty-five, thin and sickly at thirty and full of wrinkles in my prime?"

Turn now, right away, to the medicine that will take all such apprehension out of your life and make you well and strong. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy will preserve your beauty and keep back the marks of time. It will help you at once. Mrs. May Clark, formerly of Buffalo, N. Y., who now lives at Crowland, Ont., says: now lives at Crowland, Ont., says: "For two years I was unable to do any hard work of any kind. I was so miserable and no one can imagine what hours I put in. I felt so sad and down hearted all the time, and sometimes felt as if I would be glad if I could die, for it was misery to live and feel as I did. I sometimes thought I should lose my mind. I had the headache and could not sleep at times. I tried many medicines but they did me no good. At last I decided to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and after taking two bottles I could sleep well, and my mind did not trouble me any more. I am now able to do all my own house work, which I have not done for two years before. am very thankful for what Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy has done for me and I gladly recommend it to all who suffer as I have suffered." The pity of beauty sacrificed to pain and nervousness! Realize it now and prevent the inroads upon your happiness and health. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy always helps women. You will understand this if you try it. When you need medical advice call or write to Dr. Greene, 35 W. 14th St., New York City. He will advise you free of charge.

Icebergs in the Atlantic sometimes fast for 200 years. The United States spends at least $15,000,000 on golf. in 1898 66,000 Italian emigrants returned to the port of Genoa. Fleet street, London, is reputed to be the busiest in the world. Every ancient city of note was located on or near the sea or a river. The French are preparing to organize a commercial invasion of South America. The French legion of honor is the biggest order of merit. It numbers 300,000 members. From birth of 12 years of age, a boy changes from a bundle of instincts to a bundle of habits. Sweden possesses an effective navy. The Swedes are reputed to be the best sailors in the world. The French census shows that the population of France has decreased by 12,883 in five years. The most expensive harbor in the world is that of Cherbourg, finished by Napoleon at a cost of $15,000,000. San Francisco has named one of its grammar schools after Miss Jean Parker, thirty years a city teacher. Spendings per year for three fire departments: New York, $2,500,000; Chicago, $1,500,000; Boston, $1,200,000. A pine tree bough swept before the face of a Spanish baby is considered an emblem of gool luck in that country. The worn-out uniforms of the British army, when sold, bring back into the war treasury close upon $150,000 a year. A Hobbema landscape has been sold in London for $11,250 that brought $1,380 in 1837, $1,420 in 1817 and $1,025 in 1813. Eight teeth suffice the elephant for manching purposes.

Business Women Refuse to be Governed by Axioms and Customs of Trade. A critic of the new woman—the woman in business—declares that one-half of the members of the class indorse their checks on the wrong end. Some of them, he says, are just as fatally ignorant of laws that the most ignorant man knows as are their sisters who are tenderly kept from contact with this wicked world, says the Chicago Chronicle. The business woman denies this and pronounces such stories as that one going the rounds of the press about the girl who drew a check on a certain bank to cover the amount that her account was overdrawn in that bank the most preposterous of fakes. It is nevertheless true that a stamp very rarely accompanies the eneck with which a woman pays a bill; that she is invariably surprised that she has to put one on an express package and not a little indignant at the government for putting her to this trouble and expense. It is related to one young woman who considers herself quite a person of affairs that when called upon to register at a hotel on a certain occasion she wrote herself down in big black letters as Miss "Pussy" Brown, that being her pet home name. And she moreover invariably hid the key of her room under the carpet in the corridor when she went out, instead of taking it to the office, as the average individual does. Another woman, this one with a bank account, is strangely averse to paying by check, but will travel all the way into town, a distance of 25 miles, to draw the money for her debts, and will then mail the bank notes to the firms which she wishes to pay. Asked her reason for this vagary, she replies that it would be such a disappointment to people who expect money to open an envelope and find only a slip of paper. Yet she is a clever woman and conducts a poultry farm with marked success. There are women who never keep a receipt for money they've paid and who have to settle many a bill twice in consequence, and there are those who deem receipts themselves wholly unnecessary and troublesome and are willing to trust to the honesty of human nature. Yet all of these call themselves business women and would be highly indignant if anyone cast an asperSION upon their ability to take care of themselves. His Economic Difficulty.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1901. BLACK RACE AS STRONG AS WHITE. For Ten Years the Afro-American Has Held His Own-Constitutes 11.8 Per Cent of Americans. Washington, D. C.-The tabulation of the population by sex, nativity and color, under the census of 1900, has now proceeded far enough to show that the Afro-American is numerically holding his own. He has gained a firm foothold on this continent, and one from which he is not likely to be soon dislodged. Previous censuses have left this in dispute. From the figures at hand it seems probable that the Afro-American population in 1900 was between 9,000,000 and 9,050,000. If that estimate be true, he constitutes 11.8 per cent. of the total population of the country, as against 11.9 per cent, a decade ago, the loss being due to the greater growth, of the northern states. The social ostracism, which exists where Afro-Americans number less than a fourth of the population, as in the border states, is rather more galling than where they exist in such overwhelming numbers as to be sufficient unto themselves. The antagonism of labor unions is more felt in the border states, since trades unionism has as yet no foothold in the far south. How completely the Afro-American is counted is an interesting statistical question. Ten years ago congress ordered a record made of the degree of Negro blood, whether muhatto, quadroon, octoroon, etc. The information furnished upon this point was essentially worthless. There is a constant "sloughing off" from the black race going on among its lightest-colored members, usually accomplished by means of a change of residence. One need not travel long in the south without learning of cases of this sort, and seeing many families whose appearance is so on the border line that it is impossible to tell to which race they belong.

C., for many years was the assembling of a lot of would-be leaders and pin-headed politicians. Recently at a banquet, then and there they organized what they were pleased to call a national organization; they elected John P. Green, of Washington, president. A number of the colored people heretofore have had some respect for ex-Senator John P. Green, but since he has got down to Washington and associating with a lot of little cheap curb-stone politicians, many of them occupying positions as messengers and janitors at Washington, we have not much respect for him. Now, these so-called leaders come out and pretend to represent the colored people of the United States. It is time to call a halt on such unwarranted, ridiculous and contemptible proceedings as are conducted in Washington by these little men. Editor W. Calvin Chase, of the Washington Bee, is a man who is to be applauded for the sensible position that he occupies in not having anything to do with this cheap and silly band of would-be leaders, headed by John P. Green, Lewis Douglass and some other lesser lights. The colored people throughout the United States have been disgusted, tired and worn out with such proceedings by a lot of cheap politicians in Washington, D. C., who have no political standing at their own home, but by accident get a little position in Washington. Then they have the audacity from time to time to pretend to represent the colored people of the United States. It is time for them to stop.—Chicago (Ill.) Citizens' Press MEN AND AFFAIRS AT HOME. Rev. Theodore Cuyler, of the Lafayette Presbyterian church, Brooklyn, has refused his consent to the erection of a monument of himself in Cuyler park, Brooklyn. United States Senator John P.

Mrs. Jean Fuqua Beckham, wife of the governor of Kentucky, is only 22 years old. She met the present governor while he was speaker of the Kentucky house of representatives. President McKinley is planning to make a trip to the northwest early next summer, visiting Washington, regon and the northern belt of states, taking in the Yellowstone park, which he has never seen.

To Identify Her Picture. She pictured his room with her photograph smiling down at him from over the mantel, while another of her pictures looked demurely at him from a leather case on the dresser. She could see him often standing in front of her mirrored likeness and making vows of constancy and fidelity. She knew he would rather part with anything he had than those pictures. But they had quarreled and she felt she must ask him to return her photographs, and she wrote to him accordingly. When she received his reply she nearly fainted. Here is what the wretch wrote: "Dear Mabel: I would like awfully much to return your pictures, but honestly you girls all dress and pose so much alike for pictures that I can't tell any two of you apart. If you like, I will send you over 300 or 400 pictures that I have of miscellaneous girls, and you can pick yours out. Hoping this will be satisfactory, I am, sincerely, etc."—Chicago Tribune. A Ready Reply The wit of the tenement district urchin is irresistible, sitting at naught the dignity of the most dignified among his visitors. Some workers who are interested in boys' clubs recently met on the ground floor of a tenement on the lower East, side and spent an evening discussing "ways and means;" at the end of the evening the presiding officer, a schoolman of great repute, and a thinker of precise and logical mind, undertook to sum up the results. He did it with wonderful clearness, and his peroration was a work of art; but just as he reached his climax, with his audience listening raptly, a small boy peeking through a hole in the window shouted: "You're a lobster!"—and the speaker never finished his sentence.

NEW FASHION IN DUELS. At Paris Ladies are Among the Spectators and Police are Present to Preserve Order. A new departure in French duels has been taken. In the famous fight between an Italian maître d'armes, Signor Pini, and M. Thomegeux, a well-known Paris amateur, they first set the fashion of a duel with a gallery. In the duel between Prince de Sagan and Abbe Hermant the photographer first came on the scene. But it was reserved for the sensational duel between M. Max Regis and M. Labardesque to bring half a dozen ladies on the scene, and to have a score of police keeping order outside the cycle track, where the duel was fought, and many inside inspecting the cards of the privileged spectators. The duel, however, was not "pour rifle." Of the half dozen encounters recently seen it was the one in which the two men meant business, and it was with a sigh of relief that the spectators saw the slight wound, inflicted by pure accident which put an end to the encounter. The Teacher Snubbed Miss Corelli. A good story is being told about Miss Marie Corelli and the proprietress of a seminary for young ladies at Stratford-on-Avon. It is said that when staying on one occasion at Shakespeare's native town Miss Corelli happened to be residing just opposite to the school and found the continual piano practice of the pupils jar on her nerves and interfere with her work. Accordingly she decided to write to the principal and penned a polite note asking that lady if she would kindly order the windows closed when the young ladies were playing, as the music was rather distracting and disturbed her in her composition. It so happened, however, that the good lady was no admirer of Miss Corelli's work and immediately sent a curt reply, saying that if she thought the practicing would stop the composition of another work like "The Sorrows of Satan" she would at once order 20 more pianos.—International Courier.

One of Dinah's Surprises. A Baltimore woman recently secured an old and typical southern cook named Dinah, whose unfamiliarity with city ways and her questions were a constant source of amusement to the family. One morning shortly after she arrived the door bell rang and Dinah answered it as usual. In a minute she came back with a surprised expression. "Missus," she explained, "der am a man dere what wants 24 cents for de Sun." Mrs. Justi gave her the money and she returned to the door. After the man had gone Dinah asked: "Does you hab to pay for de sunshine here, missus?" In VI tina we don't hab to pay for de sun. It's just as free as de air of hebben."—Baltimore Sun. Supreme Court sustains the Foot- Ease Trade-Mark. Justice Laughlin, in the supreme court, Buffalo, has ordered a permanent injunction, with costs and a full accounting of sales, to issue against Paul B. Hodson, the manufacturer of the foot powder called "Dr. Clark's Foot Powder," and also against a retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them from making or selling the Dr. Clark's Foot Powder, which is declared, in the injunction of the court, an imitation and infringement of "Foot-Ease," the powder to shake into pour shoes, now so largely advertised and sold over the country. Allen S. Olmsted, of Leroy, N. Y., is the owner of the trade-mark "Foot-Ease," and he is the first individual who ever advertised a foot powder extensively over the country. The decision in this case upholds his trade-mark and renders all parties liable who fraudulently attempt to profit by the extensive "Foot-Ease" advertising, in placing upon the market a spurious and similar appearing preparation, labeled and put up in envelopes and boxes like Foot-Ease. Similar suits will be brought against others who are now infringing on the Foot-Ease trademark and common law rights. Mamma—"How did you know that the lady was not the little boy's mamma, Johnny?"
