EVILS OF TIGHT SHOES.
They Not Only DefOrm the Feet, But
Bring On Nervous Ex-
haustiOn.

Women are prone to extremes Of
fashion. A few years ago every one
of them wore tight corsets; to-day
they all wear tight shoes. While it
used to be the custom to cut the stay
lace of fainting woman, nowadays
the best restorative lies in severing the
shoestrings, says an exchange. Lac
ing her shoes too tight, wearing shoes
too high in the heel and too narrow in
the toe, these are the charges brought
against the modern woman. In the
wake of these evils follow nervous
troubles, chronic dyspepsia and spinal
neuralgia. Circulation in the ex-
tremities is inJerfered with, and there
by the stomach and heart action.
The process of restoring "shoe marred"
feet is one of the most impor-
tant bits of knowledge possessed by
the chiropodist. In the first place,
the bruised and cramped extremities
are given bath in strong rock salt
They are then incased in thin stock
ings of pure wool and in broad in
valid shoes, made of soft kid.
The next stage of treatment is that
of putting on them digitated stockings,
or those having separate pockets for
the toes, like glove fingers Shoes
with a separate compartment for the
great toe are also used to aid in rec
tifying the irregular shape of the foot,
resulting from too much cramping
The daily massage is an important
point, and the patient must practice toe
and heel exercises every morning, if
she wishes to regain the prehensile
faculty.

preferably shoes of suede, is pre-

GentIeness and Silence.

1t is good to prepare the thoughts in
gentleness and silence for consideration
of duty Silence as we'll as gentleness
would seem beloved OF God. For to the
human sense, and like the mighty mani
festation of a serene lesson, the skies
and the great spaces between the stars
are silent. Silent, too, for the most
part, is earth, save where gentle sounds
vary the quiet of the country and the
f1uctuating solitudes of the waters. Folly
and passion are rebuked before it; peace
loves it, and hearts are drawn together
by it. conscious of one service and of one
duty of sympathy. Violence is partial,
and transitory; gentleness alone is uni
versal and ever sure. 1t was said of old,
under partial law and with limited in
tention, but with spirit beyond the in
tention, which emanated from the God
given wisdom in the heart, that there
came a wind that rent the mountains and
broke the rocks in pieces, before the
Lord: "but the Lord was not in the wind;
and after the wind was an earthquake,
but the Lord was not in the earthquake;
and after the earthquake a fire, but the
Lord was not in the fire: and after the
fire, still small voice" Such is the Cod
given voice of conscience in the heart:

ABOUT POOR COOKING.
Something That Gives the Doctors n
Great Deal of Unnecessary
Trouble.

Poor cooking is responsible for more
sickness than any other one cause If
the doctors only knew how to cook, and
would go about instructing the people,
they could do thousand times more
good than all their drugs put together,
says Medical Talk.
The trouble with most people is that
they eat poorly cooked food, improp-
erly selected. If in medical colleges
the students were taught not only how
to cook, but how to sekect proper food
for different people, for different lati-
tudes, for different seasons of the
year, if the students were taught these
things, to the neglect of the bosh that
is usually taught in these places, there
would be less Sickness less poverty,
less of everything undesirable in the
land.
Some day it will dawn upon the
medical profession that good cook
is better prophylactic treatment than
antisepticS or germicides. The best
sort of raw material may be spoiled in
the cooking. Often a well-cooked meal,
which would be wholesome for certain
people, is too rich and indigestible for
other people. 1t depends upon voca-
ton. What people eat should be adj
justed also to the season of the year.
