GOING BAREFOOT HELPS
CHILD TO GROW STRONG

limiting shoes are often responsible
for child's apparent laziness. disin-
clination TO walk, as well as more
serious troubles, pains I'm the legs, ir-
ritabillty and nervousness. bad car
riage and fatigue. Taking off the
shoes and letting the child run barefoot
gives the child a chance and does away
with all these ills. The foot in its
natural condition without shoes OF any
kind will regain elasticity, and the
arch. that wonderful little bridge IN
the body, will accent the burden II has
to bear without hattening out by over
pressure.
Many mothers object TO their chill
dren going barefoot on the principle
that barefoot walking makes the feet
large. Usually they get the idea be-
cause children only want TO walk bare
foot during those years when they are
growing and when the feet and hands
outgrow the rest Of the body. But
as "a matter OF fact the idea is a false
one. since many Of the savage races
who have never even worn sandals
have not only perfectly shaped feet
but frequently smaller ones that those
Of civilized races. The women OF
Java are specially favored by nature
in this manner.

Attendance Upon Clubs
Interferes With Church

Club life has grown up with the
new luxury. II means constant OK
pense and constant demand for both
strength and time for dinners for the
men and luncheons for the women,
with oil the excitement which comes
from frequent gatherings with facti-
tious interests and more or less heated
pleasures.
Much in club life, especially that OF
women, is good. 1t has quickened In
tellectual life and awakened minds to
human interests, as Il has opened many
doors both for culture and for service
20 the community. On the side OF
luxury however, It is tempting many
to a continuous outlay which has posi-
tive effect upon churches and philan-
thropies, sadly interfering with the re-
sources which worshipers used TO have
Tor other needs. and the interets and
strength with which they could attend
to them.
While the regular expenses Of a wo-
mans club are not large. the clubs
are so numerous and their attract
tions so great that Il is the fashion 10
belong to many. and the aggregate
expense leaves little for religion OF be-
nevolence. The woman who is TO give
a luncheon party or to act as an inn
portant officer of her club on Monday

POLICE STATION
IMPROVEMENTS
Council Will Begin Them as
Soon as Money is in
Hand

City Council is being criticised in
some quarters for delaying improve
ments to the police station relative to
the plumbing system. Sometime ago
plans were drawn and approved by
the public building committee of that
body and since then nothing has been
heard OF the matter.
IL is understood that the proposed
improvements are being delayed be-
cause the city's finances are low. It Is
pointed out that Council has advanced
considerable money to the Water De-
partment on account of the s245, 900
bond issue for that department. which
was disposed of yesterday. and as soon
as the money advanced to that de-
partment is returned TO Council that
body will be in better financial condi-
tion to undertake the police station
Improvements, which will cost about
81, 900.
The improvements cannot be made
any too soon for the men on duty al
the police station.

Holy Week and celebrates the entrance
of Christ to Jerusalem. Maundy
