1903. Their data. taken independent

How 1t May Be PreVented-Theories
of the Doctors

Flatfootedness may or may not be
increasing among the moderns. but it
has at last brought out some very in
teresting theories as to why Il should
be prevalent, says the New York Post
Sandow got flatfooted from lifting
heavy weights, according to the opin-
ion of DIR. Sargent of Harvard. Chill
dren are likely to be afflicted In this
way when they wear spring heels. for
the bones of the instep. in the case
of young people. depend for keeping
their place upon adequate support of
the heel. Fat children find them
selves becoming fatfooted because of
the abnormal weight the feet have to
sustain. Poor feeding of the child
tends to make It aatfooted. for the
bones of the foot require plenty of
lime to make them firm and strong.
Poor feeding leads to "rickets" as
well as Indebtedness. though the
physician who says it does not stop
to explain ricketts,. What used to be
called rheumatism of the feet now
turns out to be fatfootedness Per
sons who go barefooted all the time
are said never to get the trouble.
II one Doctors story is believed
only old people get Indebtedness at
ter the bones begin to disintegrate. so
to speak, and let down the high arch
of beauty in the instep. Asked
whether the malady was at all com
mon among the applicants for mem
bership in the Massachusetts militia.
Dr. Blood of Boston said: "If it ex-
lists in form serious enough to inter.
fere with walking, OF course, II bars
him from enlistment" That is not
surprising, for II there Is one accom-
plishment a states militia ought to
possess it is that of being able to
walk. As for the rest of us. we ought
not to care whether we are natfooted
or not. for there is less and less rea.
son for our walking anyway

OIL Products oc Pennsylvania Exceeds
That of All the Rest of tho World

According to a report OF the geo.
logical survey of the United States
government, now nearly ready for
publication, petroleum was first dis
covered by Col. Drake less than half
a century ago in Pennsylvania near
Titusville. Men in those days had no
notion that petroleum was among the
necessities of existence. A tallow dip
or wax candle illuminated sufficient
ly the nights activities and a blazing
log wood fire left no room for desire
for another kind of heater. Petro-
leum might have been counted a SUI
perhuity, but instead It sprang into
immediate favor, and now its list of
popular byproducts grows longer
every year.
The total production of crude pc
troleum from 1859 to the end of 1902
has been no less than 1.165, .727
barrels. That means that If two and
onehalf feet were allowed for the

To Improve Coffee Culture.

The experts of the Agricultural de
partment have a theory that the de
generation of the modern coffee cul.
ture has been based upon seed origi
nally imported from Arabia, and that
by getting back to the wild coffee
plant. the habitat of which is the
Province of Kaffa, West Africa, a
new variety may be created. the value
of which will be incalculable. A sup
ply of Kama coffee is to be secured
through King Menellk.
