KEEP YOUR FEET STRAIGHT.

How many men know how to walk? Most men
turn their in out, a writer in the New York
Press says. The toes should not be turned either
way. They ought to point straight ahead, that
the foot at the end OF each step give the body
that upward, forward impetus that results in what
is called springy walk. This does not mean that
a man should walk exclusively on his toes. The
whole foot must be used in proper walking. The
goose step of the German army is as absurd as the
boys prank Of walking on his heels
When walks In the right way-spea king
lterally-the back of the heel strikes the ground
frst Then the rest Of the heel comes down. after
which the edge of the foot takes the bulk q,
the burden until the forward movement shifts the
weight to the ball Of the foot and finally to the
toes The ideal step Is slightly rocking motion.
At no time should the entire foot be pressed
against the ground. Heel to toe is the movement
you walk. It's the Indians way and what

Spread Of Child Labor Reform.

The recent meeting of the commits
sion on uniform laws had some cheer
full news to give on the reform in the
child labor situation.
In six years thirteen states and the
District Of Columbia have established
departments Of inspection for the en-
forcement Of child labor laws, and ten
states and the District Of Columbia
have established an eight hour day
for children under sixteen. In 1904
the fourteen year age limit was in eff
feet in only twelve states; now 1t Is IN
force in thirty-seven.

EVEN COURTS CAN LEARN.
Reeoen milton Of the Humane Idea In
Freedom" Of Contract

What we know as men we cannot
profess to be ignorant Of as judges
When the supreme court Of Illinois
acted on that idea it made a long jump
from the mu>ty past to the up to date
present. In this particular case the
court was acting in the matter Of the
law limiting TO ten hours the working
day Of women i'm factories. BY its
action it overruled the decision of the
supreme court Of the same state Of fif-
teen years ago. By the old idea citi-
zens. whether men or women. were to
be free" to contract for a days work
of any length whatever. BY the new
idea women are to be protected from
such freedom" since with their health
rests the future of the race.
As the Oregon restriction law on the
same subject has been held constitu-
tional by the United States supreme
court. the factory owners in the other
states may as we'll bow to the inevita-
bic when their legislatures pass SINH
lar laws. And that principle that
what Judges know as men they ought
also 10 know as judges might be ex-
tended to other matters affecting Ia
Dor. Every man in the United States,
whether judge or layman. knows that
q mans purchasing power is his own
and that he cannot be deprived of it
by any rightful decree. Every man in
the United States knows that the right
of free speech and free press is essen
tial to a free country; no man. wheth-
er layman or judge, is good enough or
wise enough to forbid another man
to speak his thought just as the l.
linoiS supreme court has reversed it
self in the case referred to above
other courts may be reversed which
have assumed TO say that free speech
shall not be free speech and that n
free press shall be muzzled-Samuel

LABOR IN AUSTRIA.
Trade Unions Win Many Victories,
Fewer Strikes Reported.

The report of the ministry of COM
merce for 1909 indicates that there is
a steady decrease in the number Of
strikes in Austria. There was a total
of $50 in 1909 compared with 721 in
1908. on an average each strike last
ed fifteen days. More than half the
strikes were due to demands for high
er wages, and one-fifth of them were
for shorter hours. The workers We're
entirely successful in getting increas-
ed pay in seventy-one strikes. They
were partly successful in ITS, and they
failed in 100.
Disputes regarding labor organiza-
lions and recognition of the represent
atives of labor caused eighty-one
strikes. They resulted in victory for
labor in thirty-siX cases, partial victory
in two and defeat in forty-six. The
wage increases obtained varied from
. to 90 per cent and the shorter hours
fixed for days work from five min
utes to two hours.

women and children.
~ c0untry's prosperity depends upon
the sterling character Of its PRODUCING
classes. Upon the moral health Of tho
masses depends the happiness and
prosperity Of all the people. l urge our
clergymen not only to join the unions.
but to march with them In their pa
rades, to use the talents that God has
given them in the way Of intellect and
brains to the advantage Of the unions
and the working people. to be their
orators. their spiritual advisers. their
comforters in times Of trial, Of worry.
Of hardship.
1--WE are all wage earners. All the
women in the world are our sisters:
all the men in the world are our
brothers. We are all, black and white,
red. brown and yellow, his children.
1T is something to be proud of to be
a wage Garner. You will remember
that the head Of the church was a
wage Garner, and the only title that he
had that he claimed among men was
that of shepherd. In his youth he was
a carpenter.
1T is one Of the sorrows of the age
that the workingmen have been drop
ping away from the church, and the
church is to blame for it. Can any one
expect the workingmen to follow the
church blindly, expecting something
that it does not give? 1t is the duty
of the church to make the working
classes feel that they have in the
church firm friend. Then we shall
see the workingmen coming back to it
for comfort and for worship"
