SUFFER FROM FLAT FEET
How the Breaking Down az the Arch Il
Rcmedicd By a steel strip.

How the Breaking Down az the Arch l.
Rcmedied by a steel strip.
Despite the fact that the beauty of O
well arched foot is much appreciated by
people Of an artistic turn Of mind, has
been sung frequently by poets and verse
makers, there has been until lately lit
tie interest from scientific point Of
view, taken in its direct opposite--the
fiat foot In great number of instances
fiat feet are the occnsion of considerable
keen suffering, generally resulting from
the breaking down Of the arch-that is
the displacement of some of the many
little bones Of the foot either from
overstrain or some disease of the muscu-
Lar structure As the weight of the body
constantly rests upon the foot, there is
no opportunity for tho bones 70 get back
to their proper places
The result is that these little bones
keep rubbing against each other, anu
the pain gets more and more severe.
Commonly the person afflicted iu this
way thinks that he or she has rheumn-
tism and let's it 60 at that Until IT,
Gently the only remedy was a steel soled
shoe that was clumsy and heavy. The
new device is interesting. 1t is an 'in-
sole, curved 10 ft the foot, made of a
bent strip of steel and acting as a spring.
1t is covered either with leather or with
vulcanized rubber TO prevent rusting,
and, needing no fastening, but simply
to be placed in position, it can be
changed from enc shoe 20 another at
will.
In position it acts simply as a sup
port, literally holding up the bones and
/ giving them an opportunity to slip bacl
into their proper places While any in
solo' of the approximate shape vii
give relief, the best results are reacho,

Fifteen braves from Fort Hall, Idaho,
belonging to the Bannock tribe, also six
Flat-heads from Montana were present
at the fandango.
Johnson said that as, master of cere-
monies he addressed the visitors, bade
them welcome. and asked them to feel
that they were all brothers OF one family,
gathered together in happy reunion.
That they were all the wards OF UnrIe
Sam, and that all enmity must be laid
aside, and that they must obey the Isw
Of the one great chief at Washington.
That it is the desire Of the Piutes to earn
an honest living, educate their children
and obey the law. 1t is not their Wi b
to have war with other tribes, but to join
them. and all join the white man in de-
Tending American rights and liberty,
and if necessary lay down their lives in
defending the country against any for

with cheers, in which the representa-

heartily joined.

War. war, is the word that echoes from
mountain to sea through southeastern
Europe. Crown Prince Constantine Of
Greece has gone TO Thessaly to t..,e
command of the troops preparing to in
wade Turkey from that side. The fleets
at Crete issued proclamation of pomp
and high sound that no Greeks or in
surgents should attack the CretaI town
of Malaxa. Thereupon the Cretan
Christian revolutionists appeared before
the town Of Malaxa and took it. They
DESTROYED the fort and nearly all the
Turkish soldiers garrisoning II. The
combined Christian fleets of Europe
threw 80 SHELF into Malaxa to kill their
Christian brethren who weIes taking it
from the Turk. but even that did not
stop the Christian victors. The civilized
world, except the commanders Of tae
Christian fleets and few selfish, mole
blind diplomats Of Europe who do not
actually know what they themselves are
driving at.sNjcice that the Cretan Chris
tians drove the heathen Turk out of
Malaxa.
