room wear the japanese sandals that protect
the delicate soles from the floor but leave
the toes free to lie loosely apart, though they
are secured by strong bands. These
give the muscles of the feet chance to relax.
They are much better for this purpose than
the felt slipper shoe, which is too closely
woven to permit proper ventilation.
The feet, like that other extreme of The

Well-shaped feet much rarer today
than they in the days of the Romans
and Greeks, .nainly because we inprison them
in unventiatel, sun-forbding shoes instead
of wearing the sandal of the ancicnts. which
gave the feet the light and air they need.
1t is unfortunate that the arbiters of ash
ions have not fit to condemn modern
shoes in favor of the ancient sandal More
harm is done to the feet by the prescnt-day
footwear, than is done to the hair by rats and
puffs to the vital organs by tight fitting
corsets.
Some years ago II dill become the fashion

were not wise enough to follow their example.
But if you cannot wear sandals yourselves,

In early life the bones naturally soft

shapes by any considerable exterior pressure.
| 1t is obvious that to maintain the proper con-
| tour of the child's feet, the sandal is much
more satisfactory than the shoe. The former
permits the feet to be flat on the ground and
spreads the toes, the latter crowds the toes
and congresses the whole foot.
| And adults improve the condition of
their feet by wearing sandals in the house
even if prevailing fashion does not permit OF
| their wearing them out of doors.
| To be healthy, the feet must be kept scru
pulously clean. So much are they exposed

who wear low shoes, that they need more thar

JUDGE GARY
PREDICTS
PROSPERITY

Before sailing for Europe on the
steamship Lusitania yesterday, Ell
bert H. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel corporation, talk
ed freely on the financial situation
and expressed himself as quite op-
timistic in regard to this years
prosperity.
From reports received from the
United States Steel western Of
fees said Mr. Gary. and other
connections. do not apprehend that
this seasons crops will show much
If any, deterioration either in quail
ity or quantity as compared with
last year. Whatever loss there may
have been in some sections from
drouth and in others from excessive
rains will be more than compensated
by increased quantity of grain I'M
der cultivation as a result of the in
crease in acreage.
With these crop conditions In
view. I believe that If any of the
railroads have delayed equipment or
other orders, owing to the recent &C
tion of the attorney general in re-
gard to freight rates. or from pre-
vious gloomy views of the crop stu
alton. they will again re-enter mar
kets for material for extensions and
improvements. Therefore, I look for
turn for the better in the steel
business and in other railroad sup
ply lines as soon as good crops be-
come more assured.
I consider the last half of the
present calendar year in the steel
business generally will make as
good a showing as the period end
ing June 80.
T do not believe there will be
very much further reaction from the
present level. Business generally is
not showing any further falling off,
and in some lines 1t shows slight
Improvement
Steel consumption in this coun-
try has not yet reached the limit nor
anything like it. I consider that the
United States Steel corporation is
not only entering on a decade of
prosperity equal to that which has
gone before, but in ratio to the adj
vancement, progress and growth of
the corporation 1 think the next ten
years will show pronounced adj
vancement in capacity. invention. re-
duction of prices and all else that
goes to spell prosperity. There will
be no necessity for any new fnanc-
ing by the steel corporation this
year nor, from present indications.
for year at least
The steel corporation does not by
any means intend to stop where it
is, and I consider the new constr1c-
ton that will take place during the
next five years will at least equal
that Of the five years just past"
