THE INDIANS WAY.

The Almighty has not 'frcighted
the foot with a single superfuous
part. Every inch of every foot is
meant for use. When a mar 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 forward
movement shifts the weight to the
ball of the foot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step is a slightly
rocking motion. At no time should
the entire foot be pressed against
the ground. Heel to toe is the move
ment. Try it and see how much
farther and more easily you can walk.
It's the Indians way, and what poor
10 doesn't know about footwork can
go into the discard.
