Keen 1nur Feet Straight

How many men know how to walk?
Most men turn their toes in or out, a
writer in the New York Press says.
The toes should point straight ahead,
so that the foot at the end of each
step can give the body that upward.
forward impetus that results in what
is called a springy walk. This does not
mean that a man should walk exclUs-
lively 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 The Almighty has aot
freighted the foot with a single super
f1uous part Every inch of every foot
is meant for use.
When man walks in the right way
speaking literally-the back of the
heel strikes the ground first. Then the
rest of the heel comes down, after
which the outer edge of the foot takes
the bulk of the burden until the for
ward movement shifts the weight to
the ball of the foot and finally to the
toes. This e-1N step is slightly rock
ing motion. ~ no time should the en-
tire foot be pressed against the ground
Heel to toe is the movement Try it
and see how much further and more
easily you can walk. It's the Indians
way. and what Poor Lo doesn't know
about footwork can go into the dis
card

Medical Colleges Rebuked.

In a report on Medical Education
the United States" just out, from
The Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
yancement of Teaching, Abraham
,FleXner reflects seriously on the edu-
;ational standards of a large number
If American medical colleges. He SAYS
hat the entrance requirements ave
generally too low and that there has
seen for years great over-production
If unframed doctors, due to the exist
ance of numerous proprietary schools
commercially managed and depende 1t
IN fees for support, and that the rela-
ion of the schools to the hospitals is
Ill wrong, all of which is officially in
lorsed by President Pritchett of The
Foundation. According to this report,
he country is supporting three or four
lines as many doctors as it needs,
mostly of this inferior quality; that the
schools are producing two or three
lines as many as can be assimilated;
hat instead of the 155 schools now ex-
sting, one-fifth of that number would
better serve the public if properly con-
lucted and distributed. Names of the
it and unfit colleges in various cities
ire given publicity in the report.

S1,O00,000 FOR PARR.
Great Reward for Informer in the
Big Sugar-W Weighing Scandal.


Want to make a million? Ask Rich
ard Parr, of the New York customs
Office. Parr is the man who discov-
cred the frauds by means OF which the
government was being robbed by the
sugar trust. For this, and the work
lasted only few months, he has been
paid $1,000,000 by Uncle Sam. It is
said to be the highest priced piece of
detective work ever performed. This
was decided at two-hour conference
between Mr.. Parr and Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh.
It is learned that ever since Mr.. Parr
made claim for a moiety in bringing to
light the sugar frauds both President
Taft and Secretary MaceVagh have
wanted to reward him; but the ques-
ton of amount and the legality have
always stood in the way. Since Attor-
ney General WickeTsham gave an opin-
ion. however, declaring that the law
specifically stated that the Secretary Of
the Treasury could reward an official
10 an amount not exceeding so per cent
OF the amounts recovered, all doubt
has been removed.
Never in the history of the govern
mcnt has such a large amount been
recovered, consequently the officials
having in charge the paying of mole
ties were in doubt about paying as
much as so per cent or even 25 per
cent.
