"AUTOMOBILE FOOT"

ST. LOUIS. MO. Dec. 2s.--"The au-
tomobile foot" Is the latest. The
cause Is the opposite of that OF the
policeman's fiat foot, which is caused
by too much walking.
The cause of the automobile foot Is
too little walking. But the effect Is
the same. Like the policemans all
ment. II causes pains which may be
mistaken for rheumatism.
DIR. Alexander Block says "automo-
bile foot" is the fancy title for fiat
foot. He declares the nj otor car is
playing havoc with the human foot.

READING IN BED.
Not Injurious to Eyes if Simple
Rules Are Observed.

From the London Globe.
To those addicted to the practice OF
reading in bed the remarks Of DR.. Carl
Seller will be OF interest. He states that
there is no valid reason to be urged
against using the eyes in a proper man
ner in a recumbent position-such use is
the least tiresome and can be persisted in
for longer periods without damage than
any other position.
We all know that grave damage is
often done by reading in a recumbent
posture, but therein possibly some oc-
ulists are at fault. Had 1t been the uni
versal practice during the last twenty or
thirty years to give careful directions
how to read lying down instead of say
ing to one and all, You must not read
lying down." there would be less near
sight and better eyes In the community
than now exist.
Three easily avoided errors cause all
the harm possible from reading lying
down the first often leading to the other
two. They are insufficient or wrongly di-
rected light. short reading distance and
tipping the book out Of a plane at right
angles to the line Of vision.
If, however. every one reading lying
down will SO arrange his lounge or bed
that the light comes over the head with
out striking the eyes, and falls well upon
the page; IL he will hold his book at a
long reading distance and take care that
the line Of letters shall be at right angles
to the line Of vision he can be sure of do
ing his eyes no more harm than if he
were sitting UP.
More than this. there is much positively
in favor OF reading lying down. DR..
Seller concludes: 1.-The recumbent posture
allows more rest OF the bodily structures
than the sitting posture. and there is
greater possibility OF resting and repair in
that position.

grandson of the late William Byles of

GOLF TWO MILES UP.
Gyantse, in Tibet, Has Highest
Course in the World.

From Golf Illustrated.
The chief claim to fame that Gyantse
possesses is the part 1t played in the IT,
betan mission of 1904; In time, perhaps,
this fame may be eclipsed by the fact
that 1t boasts the highest golf course in
the world. The next highest Is the course
at Gulmerg in the Himalayas. which is
only $500 feet above, sea level, but
Gyantse. standing at height of 1900
feet, easily bears OF the palm for golf at
a high altitude. Gyantse does not, to the
casual observer, suggest golf, nor does
ii even appear to be able to furnish
room for golf courses: but where Scotch
men congregate. though their total num-
Der be only three. course had to be
made. and 1t has been.
Provided the caddies are willing, golf Is
possible all the year round. the most un-
suitable months being January, February,
and March, these being the months OF the
famous, or rather Infamous, dust storms.
The course is one of nine holes situated
on the right bank Of the Niang Chu river;
the average length of the holes IL $50
yards, the longest being over 500 yards
and the shortest 120 yards There Is no
grass on the course. the whole surface
