New York, Aug. 10-"In the last year
the number of women who came to me
suffering with disfgured and painful
feet has increased 95 per cent. over that

fact to the extremely high heels which

experiences with the theatrical profes-

THE wave of enthusiasm which has
taken hold of women lately in regard
to extremely high heels has reaped for
the chiroDod:sts a big reward. but has
brought untold misery to the women.
The results cannot be estimated if this
keeps up.
Il always have treated women who
wear high heeled shoes. but l never

the high heeled shoes will be what we

The high heeled shoe throws the weight
of the body forward in such a way
that the proper equilibrium is lost The
woman is constantly striving to keep
her poise, muscles are strained, and the
spine thrown out of its normal position.
In consequence the woman's nervous
system is affected. Many a case of

Mrs. Robert Osborn insists that the

from the high to the low heel which

wearing them for shopping and general
walking, serious results are bound to
follow" said Dr. Goldberg in reply.

parents of the cracker type put their

New Divorce Law.

New York Herald:
AT its recent session the United States
supreme court rendered an opinion
which has attracted little or no public
attention, but which practically laid
down a new divorce law for the country
and one well calculated to check the
tide of applicants to western divorce
meccas. The court broadly affirms the
right of every state to protect the mar
riage tie of its own citizens against
dissolution by another state on residence
solely taken up for that purpose This
was done in the case of Dakota d1-
vorce which had been declared invalid
by the supreme court of Massachusetts
and subsequently in the case OF d1-
vorce obtained in Oklahoma. To re-
alize the far-reaching Importance OF
this ruling by the highest court of the
nation it is only necessary to call to
mind what has been for years COM
mon practice of applicants going to Da-
kota, for example, for the mere purpose
of getting a divorce after the required
residence of six months and then re-
turning to their own states to live. such

of those who laughed at the inventor

According to the calculations made by
the Railway Age. the railroads of this
country are using 11OOOO,OOO ties year
merely to replace those worn out by
use. They cost roads about $4,000, 600
annually. The life of the average tie
used by American railroads is not much
over five years. This constitutes a ser
ious drain on the forests of the country
as well as on the treasures of the roads,
The work of systematically re-foresting
the country which has been undertaken
by the government, and at the same
time preserving some of the timber
lands we already have was begun none
too soon- Another important considera-
ton in connection with the matter is
the well established fact that the de-
nuding Of forest lands produces a ser
iOus effect upon the climate
