Shoes Down at Heels
BY LILLIAN RUSSELL


Down at-the-hecl shoes are closely
related to up-in-the-air nerves, and
frazzled nerves arc productive OF many
varieties of the headache to which
women are heirs. The worn shoe heel
does not cause all OF the headaches,
TO be sure, but IL is responsible for
q great many of them.
When the feet arc not on a level
base the body is thrown into a lop-sided
position, which strains muscles and
nerves. The nerve system is as deli
cate as 1t is extensive, and each branch
is i'll close communication with the
brain. Disturb this system to the
slightest degree and the disturbance is
felt In the head.
The whole body is animated by
nerves. The foot that is twisted to an
angle is quick to inform the brain of
Its misfortune. and protest is filed.

turbancc. and sometimes serious dis
orders. which result In additional Dro :
tests. AT least. II may reach the brain
with such force that IL causes the head
to ache.
1t is not only tho nervous system the t
is upset by the worn or shoe heel.

and frequently disastrous.

dead so as to see what she would
do. He got his doctor to pronounce
life extinct and place him in a coffin
When his wife came in and saw him
lying there in his white cravat she
laughed till she almost cried, and
stepped right over to the telephone
and called up a nice young man who
adored the very ground she walked
on eighty acres in fee simple, unin-
numbered, with improvements, city
water, etc, only ten minutes ride
from the city of Stockholm.) The
young man responded to her hurry
up call like a fire chief to a third
alarm, and, thinking her a widow,
took her in his arms without more
ado.
If the old mans vanity had led him
to hope that he was going to hear
any compliments about himself he
was destined to disappointment The
happy pair alternated between abusing
the old curmudgeon and doing the
make for joy around his bier till
he got jolly well bored and sat up
in his dignity and threw a damper
over the party. Then, in a hun, he
scrambled out and went to his law
yer's and instituted divorce proceed
ings and got a decree and took all the
poor woman's property away from
her, and now we don't know whether

her as he was, and it's a pretty sorry
