SHOW THE FEET AND ANKLES
Styles In the New Dresses Make the
Downing Of Dainty Footwear an
Absolute Necessity.

The trend of style in the skirts and
new dresses and suits tends to con-
tinued display of feet and ankles,
Hence the necessity for dainty foot
wear. The new colonial pumps are In
combination Of materials and colors.
The vamps are usually of patent leath-
er or dull calfskin combined with col.
ored uppers or inlays of suede, figured
cloth or kid. The principal colors are
champagne and fawn.
The latest button slipper or low shoe
Is made of putty-colored antelope and
black patent leather, with sandal
straps and buttons. The shoe fits high
over the tnstep. with snug fit up to
the ankle and an ornamental ankle
strap. The latest novelty in evening
slippers is made of black satin en-

rhinestones. Buckles are not so prom
inent and all ornaments are very
small.

little, but the general lines are the
same. The heavier material Is used
for the fronts, which are straight
strips about two and half to three
inches wide each. These continue up
in rounded or V-shaped piece that
fits the neck much the same as the
neck and front facing Of an ordinary
kimono, with the exception that the
fronts do not lap over each other, but
meet edge to edge.
The sleeves are finished with a
band of the heavy material and at the
waist line with shaped vest girdle
that comes well down over the hips
and fastens at the front. The back,
sides and sleeves of the blouse are Of
the sheer goods and are generally cut
in one piece. The effect when finished
Is that of something between the new

lived loose blouse.

THE RIGHT START.

In United States bureau of educa-
ton bulletin No. "a. page IA. appears
the following: There are in the
schools OF the United States today ap-
proximately 20,OOO,OOO pupils. Exten-
slve observations of child health for
~ years and careful study of statis-
tics and estimation of all conditions
lead to the following conclusions:
From 100000 to 100000 lis to 2 per
cent? of these pupils have organic
heart disease. Over 100000 $50
per cent and In some schools as high
as 80 per cent? have defective teeth.
which are potentially, If not actually,
detrimental to health. About 10000
900 (75 per cent? of the school chill
dren of this country need attention to-
day for physical defects. which are
partially or completely remediable."
This report seems to indicate con-
dltion In this country but little, If any,
superior to that shown to exist In Eng
land, and the character of the troubles
points to like cause-namely, insult
hcient tissue building material, entail
ing starvation and anemia.

as single cell of about one hundred

the brief period of 40 weeks, it at

mately seven pounds. and normally is
born with a smooth, pink skin and is
otherwise perfectly developed.

Dear Doctor am fifty-eight years
OF age and have always been healthy
except that / have had rheumatism in

am the mother of three healthy sons
and they have inherited my rheuma-
tlsm so that they are frequently troub-
led with muscular rheumatism What
will cure rheumatism
1t is easy to picture the writer of
such letter as plump, placid, kind
ly faced, motherly soul. A good cook,
she is proud of the fact that she can
prepare the same dishes on which her
mother and her mothers mother be-
fore her successfully raised their fam
lilies. But she has rheumatism" and
her sons have inherited rheumatism"
This is fair sample of type of in
quiry frequently received from people
who look upon rheumatism as sim
of course, every one is bound to have
sooner or later as result of wet feet,
damp clothes, or the weather or as
the result of inheritance"
1t is customary to apply the word
rheumatism" to almost every imagi-
nable ache or pain occurring in any
part of the body. From long abuse
the word has lost it's significance and
has come to sound harmless; it does
not convey any idea of danger and
most people are perfectly satisfied If
told that their various ailments arise
from rheumatism" 1t is nice, con-
venient word, and it does not jar on
their sensibilities.
Rheumatism is an acute infiamma-
ton of the synovial membranes OF
various joints with the accumulation
of fluid; it is due to an infection OF
unknown origin and runs a course of
about six weeks. Muscular rheuma-
tisms" on the other hand, are either
the result of strains, as we have al
ready noted, or they are pains aris-
ing from organic diseases, or they are
caused by one or more Of many con-
ditions, practically all of them con-
nected either directly or indirectly
with defective metabolism. Here Is
the basis of all our degenerative dis
cases, such as diabetes, Bright's dis
ease. arteriosclerosis and apoplexy, all
of which are on the increase, in spite
of the numerous cures" and all OF
which are allied to anemia. Whether
anemia is the cause or the result of
most of these netabolic disturbances
is vet to be decided, but certainly cir
cumstanial evidence points strongly
in the former direction.
Why are these chronic pains SO lit
tie understood? Because we do not
want to know the truth If it will in
yolve a thorough overhauling and re-
adjusting of diet and of our mode OF
life. We prefer to go our own way In
blissful ignorance, depending on the
good old remedies consisting OF drugs,
liniments, poultices, serums, and so
forth. to looking the facts in the face.
Then in addition to all the good old
remedies are we not informed every
little while by the best of authorities
of the discovery of some new product
of synthetic chemistry that will quick
". surely and harmlesly remove our
troubles?
