these speech devices you are convinced that you can
spare all them rather than your throat and vocal

without feet and legs.
Yet Professor Edward w Scripture, of Columbia
University has just discovered method which he has

Will TIGHT

TFHAT the constant wearing Of extremely tight ana
highheeled shoes by generation after generation
of women may ultimately result in woman losing
her toes and growing a heel the front end OF ner
foot or worse sti hoofs. rather far-fetched
possibility
But Dr. Max Strunsky Of New York has described
some Of the evils of tight shoes and high heels which
are forming what he terms "rhe New Heel Stripped

of modern foot trouble under the caption THE New

is constituted to carry the main weight Of the body
But with the tight and hishheeled shoes the women
wearing is impossible to make the heel perform this
natural function Of bearing the weight Of the body The
line of weight is pitched forward by the high heels
until upon the ends Of the balls Of the feet

little pitchers, which are filled with hard

The most wonderful of all these nquordis-

and frogs Those attracting slugs have
ridges on the leaves that guide the guest to
the taproom deep in the flower. The doors,
however. swing inward and there is no re-
tracing of the steps. Rows of little teeth on
the interior of the leaves remove all posi-
bity of escape.
In the plants that catch frogs there is
sharp thorn near the pitcher, on which the
frog is impaled and thus held fast

has the shape of a goose floating along the

The plant is a carrier plant and attracts the

crnkles At the root of the is also crosswise

The bulge the root of the seems to be the

Ey-THE face orinkles of babies for the first time
attracting scientific attention. 1t seems that
they mean something
One should understand to start with, that such
crinkles entirely different from wrinkles When
people get old wrinkles arrive but the facial burrows
of infancy disappear as childhood advances, and in
adults few if any traces of them remain.
The question naturally suggests itself, whence
the baby get its crnkes? And what do they sig
nifty? The answer is that they derived from
moukeyike ancestors the human race and their use
fulness is to express violent emotions
Why violent emotions? Well you see the habit of
expressing such emotions by facial contoron is direct
inheritance from the monkeyike ancestors aforemen-
toned The civilized adult does not display fear anger
jealousy other passions in that way; it has been
educated out of him
But the baby has other means of expressing
emotions. 1t cannot talk, and to make known its
its feelings its dscomforts it is obliged to make
faces This sort OF sign language is supplemented by
cries
The crnbles which make the pitiful grimace of the
babe form a ridge the nose and extend down.

Only women wear the extremely

Plans For Armory Discussed.

US an interesting view of the require.

Grand Military Picnic.

The combined National Guard mill
tary forces of the State have arranged
. picnic at Herman's Heights for
next Sunday, August 3rd. The Second
Regiment Band, Co. "a" and the
Machine Gun Co. have combined
forces and expect to make this picnic
the grandest military picnic ever held
in the city. The boys will pitch their
shelter tents on the ground, cook their
meals on the field ranges and will
close the military program with a
dress parade. There will be enough
diversion for all that attend. There
will be prize bowling. prize shooting,
a doll rack and dance. The COM
mittee is hard at work perfecting the
arrangements and good time is
assured to all.

Two Are Seriously Hurt in
jumping; Broken Bones
and Bruises.

AS a result of runaway Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock William Ter
hotter is in the Loretto hospital with
a broken leg and Mrs. Terhofter with
broken collar bone and Iscalp
wounds. Besides that she is quite
generally bruised up. Mr.. Terhofter
suffered fracture of both bones of
the right leg Immediately above the
ankle, what is known in medical
terms as Potts fracture.
Andrew Dauer, who has rented the
John Reinhart farm known as the
Winkelmann farm in the town d
Cottonwood adjoining the city limits,
started out Saturday morning with
the Terhofters and their small chill
dren to work on the farm as they
had done on previous days. Dauer
was doing the driving. When they
got opposite Mrs. Ruemke's place on
South Minnesota street, the bit drop
ped out of the mouth of one of the
horses when the bride in some man
ner became loose. The horses inn
mediately bolted and tore down the
hill at a mad pace. When they had
gone about one-third the distance
down the Aufderheide hill, Mr.. Ter
hotter, who was standing in the rear
of the platform wagon, fearing for
the safety of the children, seized one
of them and jumped. He landed on
the ground in such manner that
he snapped both bones of the lower
right leg and was unable to get up.
Mr.. Dauer, realizing that he bad
lost control of the horses and couldn't
stop them, jumped also and was
fortunate enough to escape without
injury. Mrs. Terhofter does not
recollect how she and the other chill
dren got out of the vehicle. She
does not know whether she jumped
off or was thrown out. She was
found in the road opposite Aufder-
heide's brick machine badly bruised,
her collar bone fractured and with
several scalp wounds. The children
escaped without injury, except that
one of them had few skin abra-
sions.
Attracted by the screams Of the
victims Of the accident, the Aufder-
heides and some Of the workmen in
the brick yard rushed to the assis-
tance of the unfortunate ones. Mrs.
Terhofter and the children were TAX
en- into the house and the automo-
bile was at once put in readiness to
take the injured to the hospital.
Carl and Herman Aufderheide, assist
ed by William Muesing, put Mrs.
Terhofter into the auto and on the
way, they picked up Mr.. Terhofter
and conveyed them post haste to the
hospital, where their needs were min
istered to by two of the local physi-
clans.
Neither of the horses was injured
and the rig and harnesses were but
slightly damaged. The horses, after
making a short detour of that part
of town, returned home, where the
owner found them.
