LITTLE TOE IS DISAPPEARING.
Principle of Disuse in Man Is Amply
illustrated.

DR.. George f. Shrady of New York
IN commenting on the theory of
Sir John Murray that the little toe
of man is disappearing, said: at is true
that while civilization develops man in
some ways it also degenerates him in
others. For instance, prepared foods
weaken the stomach; whereas when men
had to eat coarse foods they had not
only sound digestive organs, but magniti-
cent teeth. These facts have led philoso-
piers today to prophesy that the time
will come when man can live without a
stomach by eating prepared foods.
"The principle of disuse is well ex-
emplified 4 the foot The toes are spread
out to support the arch Of the foot and
balance the body. In savages who do
not wear shoes, or, at the most, soft
moccasins. the toes are spread out like
fan, as il to grasp the earth. Com
pressing the foot within an Hitting shoe
distorts il, makes the toes grow smaller
and is driving the little toe into disuse.
"Disuse is proved in the case of wom-
en- Their feet are much smaller than
mems because during all ages they've
been coddled and have done so little
walking"
