For fifty years past the United

that by keeping them In schools

THE LITTLE TOE IS DOOMED.
Eight.T Tocd Men and Women Will Bc
the Rule In Century.

Eight. Tocd Men and Women Will BE
the Rule In Century.
Now II is asserted that the small toe
of the human foot will be crowded out
of existence by the end of the present
century.
Such Is the view of chiropodists gen.
orally and of physicians who have Civ
en- the matter more than passing con.
sideratior.
The conditions prevailing at the pres.
ent day are such. indeed. that but u
short period of evolution will he neccs-
sary TO bring about this radical change
In the human system.
The little toe Is ut It's best In child
hood, but even then 1t Is seldom much
more than an apology for Il toe. while
1t Is Il fact well known to physicians
that after certain age has been
reached In 0O cases out of Il hundred
the two end joints of the toe become
anchyloscd, that Is To say, so united
as to make separate movements impos-
sible.
Nor are these conditions brought
about entirely. or even mainly, through
modern methods of footwear, but are
more directly the result of the civilized
method of locomotiOn.
Whether or not the big toe Is all that
Is needed IN walking and running is Il
question which has not yet been salts.
factOrily answered, but the fact re.
mains that athletic instructors and
cOuclies have universally striven to de.
velOp the big toe at the expense of the
others In the training of fast runners
and football players.
| To that end the shoes have been made
SO narrow that any possibility of using
the little toe has been precluded.
The modern method of walking. how.
ever. is really responsible for the non.
use Of the little toe. The full weight of
the body Is thrown first on one big toe
ana then on the other.
IL by chance the rest of the foot Is
allowed to participate IN the support of
the body. the little toe receives less of
1t than any of the others.
Ninety per cent of the shoes are worn
out considerably more on the big toe
side than on the little toe side.
Between the modern method of walk.
ing and the wearing of tight-fittinr
shoes. the little toe Is doomed TO an
early end.
The disappearance will. of course. bt
gradual. As the use of the foot u
more ana more confined to the big toe
the little toe will slowly. but surely
diminish In size with each successive
generation.

The frequent use Of adulterants and

domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything Of harmful or deleteri'
