SHUN LOOSE SHOES.
They Give the Feet as Much Trouble
as tho Pinchinq Kind.

as tho Pinching Kind.
Seven persons out OF ten suffer ex.
cruciating pain at one time or another
with their feet. A single corn no lar.
ger than a grain Of sand can take all
the snap and vitality right out Of you.
TwO-thirds of modern foot troubles
are due to the fact that almost every
one-man, woman and chlld-wears
shoes too loose. The shoe itself may be
correct as to size and shape, but it is
not fastened tight ut the only point of
contrOl-namely, the instep.
When you set your foot upon the
floor or pavement in the act of walk
ing the shoe adheres, and IL 1t be loose
ly fastened over the instep the foot
pushes down into the toe of the shoe.
At certain spots on the foot this slip
ping causes friction. These spots are
the soes of the feet. the tops. ends and
inner sides OF the toes, the great and
little toe joints and occasionally even
the back Of the heel.
When the friction thus caused is con.
tinued hour after hour and day after
day one or more of these spots are al
most sure to become infamed and sore.
A slight thickening, called II "callous. "
is formed. As the friction and pres
sure go on the resulting callous may
thicken up unevenly. Then 1t Is called

Early Beginnings of Good Roads
Work

Early Beginnings of Good Roads
Work.
When some progressive antedi
luvian shocked his contemporaries
by bringing his game to camp on a
horse, the good roads movement was
inaugurated," says f. F. Ayers,
highway engineer, in bulletin No. 81
of the extension series of the Ore
gon Agricultural College. Had he
shown proper respect for precedent
he would have shouldered his load,
although custom sanctioned the use
of rude boats in case he was fortu-
nate enough to be near a stream.
"Other members of the tribe soon
appreciated the many advantages of
the new method, and well-defined
trails were opened through the wild
erness. These were laid out by the
animals themselves, the only assist
ance rendered by their drivers being
the occasional removal of tree
which fell across the path.
mo further progress was made
until the advent OF wheeled vehicles.
These required wider path, and the
trail began remotely to resemble a
road. No attention was paid to
proper location. grades or drainage,
but even the slight amount of work
required was bitterly opposed by the
owners of the pack teams, who fore
saw that their business would be
ruined if the newer transportation
gained foothold.
They claimed that the wide roads
were unnecessary; that the new con-
I'traption was simply a passing fad,
suitable for a rich mans top, but i'm
possible as a practical vehicle; that
the taxes would ruin the country un-
less the wagon men were forced to
pay the entire cost of the improve
ment; in short, that the roads which
had sufficed for their fathers should
be good enough for them.
These same arguments were re-
vived on the advent of the bicycle
and the automobile the teamsters in
the meantime having forgotten their
early trials and joined the reaction
aries. The highways of America re-
