SMALL FEET.
They Are an Illustration Of ths Ten
denCy OF the Times Toward Little WaIsls s
and Weak Bodiss.


Anyone who " its the art Museums may be
struck with the fact that the feet OF all the
ancient statutes seem very large. They do
seem so, hut ii will be found that for symmet-
rical perfection these feet could not be better.
and yet the feet o. the average man or woman
to-day are much smaller than in ancient
tii0es.
One might naturally ASH Why is this? The
answer Is not difiicult Modern custom and
fashion have contracted feet to their present
small proportions: shoes have taken the place
Of sandals. Indeed, IL Is only Ona illustration
o many. Of what advanced civilization and
fashion do. The waists of women in ancient
days were not So small as in the present age
of cOrsets. The health OF women in ancient
times was better than In our present day OF
foc al demands, household cares and hurried
living. Women are weaker than they once
were. They feel depressed, blue, weak and
languid, where they were once bright strong
and active such modern troubles require the
most advanced treatment and the best physi-
clans. and most scientific authorities OF the
present day declare that pure stimulants are
necessity in most livss. It is significant
fact, however, in connection with this state.

value. while impure are an actual harm.
