HERE IS AN ARTICLE THAT EVERY
MOTHER WILL WANT TO READ

Probably it has not occurred to
mothers of girls who suffer from
spinal weakness how much the arch
of the foot and character of the
shoes they wear have to do with
spinal limitations. A little investiga-
ton of anatomy and physiology will
demonstrate the truth of what [
| assert
The instep or arch of the foot is
made up of twelve bones. They are
SO arranged and connected by joints,
muscles and nerves that they form an
arch from the extremity of the heel
bone to the balls of the toes. The
astralagus, so-called because of its
resemblance to the dice used by the
! Romans, forms the keystone of this
arch, and transmits the weights, jars,
shocks. etc, which it receives in one
! direction TO the heel and In another
| direction to the balls of the toes, says
| william S. Metz in the Mothers
| Magazine.
! BY arrangement of the fibres and
! laminae in the interior of the bones
/ the greater number of them In each
! bone follow the direction of the two
E., pillars of the foot-arch, and thus give
/ the greatest strength to the bones
in the directions I'm which 1t Is most
needed. Any undue confinement of
| these bones will make trouble with
every nerve of the body.
| The spring in the arch of the foot
i is intended to remove from all the
! upper organs of the body shocks from
/ concussion. A young girl skipping
rope excessively on a hard pavement
/ faints, suffers from nausea, and her
spinal column throbs. The eXplana-
! ton is that her abuse of the sport
| rendered the foot-arch incapable of
| carrying away the severe shocks and
these reacted on the nervous system.
| At six years of age the little girl
may have a simple exercise every
morning which is now quite we'll
/ known to the tots of many kinder
| into harmony with the mind. Stand
erect on the bare feet every morning
| after leaving your bed and raise the
body twenty times on the toes. The
body must be erect, the shoulders
easily squared, the hands and arms
| by the sides of the body. heels and
foot-arch lifted fairly off the floor as
| high as they can be without produc-
| ing a tendency to fall forward
| Descend slowly after each upward
movement, and rise slowly again
| without jerks. At six years of age
/ twenty movements of this kind each
day, three hundred and sixty-five
| days of the year, will be sufficient to
give the arch new sustaining pow
/ ers. At ten years of age the toe
raising movement may be increased
/ to fifty uplifts each morning and at
| fifteen and sixteen, to one hundred or
one hundred and fifty.

the foot which may be begun in early

Fatty" Bunker's Grafton

Under blue summers sky, nine
boys were gathered in Jim Riley's
back yard Their purpose was to or
ganize a club. Almost all were bare
footed and wore ragged and patched
garments.
After selecting a name for the club,
a president was elected. Fatty Bun
ker, being the latest and strongest
boy, was given that honor. He had
heard that all great men who are
elected to some high office, as presi-
dent for instance, always made a
speech of acceptance. He therefore
decided to make a speech also and
began:
"Fellers and COILS, L"
Here he was interrupted by Jim
Riley, who reminded him that there
were no "goils" present. At this
remark there was boisterous laugh
ter.
Chairman "Freckles," thinking ii
high time to exercise his authority,
took hammer and began banging on
a soap box.
Order being restored, Fatty Bun
ker went on with his speech. Eel

years is the hand massage. Battle
the feet in cold or tepid salt water,
dry thoroughly, then apply olive oil
and rub it in with the tips of the
fingers until the skin is warmly soft
and dry. This massage treatment
may be taken two or three times a
week where the arch shows a ten
dency to swell or be sore. The salt
water purifies the pores of the skin
and harden the flesh. The olive oil
will feed weak parts of the arch If
the massage is thorough.
The last treatment for the arch is
possibly the most painful for some
young girls to consider Hosiery in
summer and winter should be of light
weight and not in colors that per-
spiration will affect. Two sets of
shoes, at least, should always be
owned-a stout, broad-soled free
action pair, for outdoor use, and a
light, pliable pair for home or indoor
use. Russian women are quite noted
for the symmetry and strength of
their feet One of the reasons for
this Is their practise of resting" the
feet the instant they enter the house
by changing from heavy shoes to
light.
High heels, narrow toes, binding
insteps, cramping overlaps, in shoes,
no matter how attractive an appear
ance they give to the foot, are deadly
enemies of a girls nerves and her
spine. Dizziness, cramps. trembling
limbs, lmpeded circulation of the
blood, Indigestion, chills. have been
authoritatively traced to these causes,
to say nothing of peevishness and bad
temper.
The arch of the foot needs an eX-
treme of freedom and unless 1t can
have It, distortion. in more senses of
the word than one. follows.

in the management with the result
that last fall the Milwaukee CLUB

The pagoda is a tall slender, many
sided tower, with ridges and caves
sticking out all the way up. The
typical fashionable figure of today is
now built out to give much this
effect. The pagoda influence in dress
means towering hats of soft satin,
banked with filmy tulle. with spire-
like, feathery trimmings; De Medici
and lily collars that are wired to
show points that stick out; conspicu-
Gus shoulder draperies which actually
have the effect of caves; long, glazing
draperies on skirts; short coats with
flaring peplums, says Grace Margaret
Gould in the Woman's Home Com
panion.
OF the vagaries of fashion Miss
Gould says in part:
Fashion is ightning-change
artist. The different is always the
lure from Paris to Kalamazoo.
Fashions mind is never at ease
Her life consists in trying one new
thing after another.

An Actress Life and the
Toothache

Dear Margery Doom:
This is my first letter. | would
like to know if the life Of an actress
is hard. Also what is good for
toothache. c. NJ.
The life of an actress is pretty
hard, my friend. She must devote
all of her time to the business of
succeeding, not one third of it, as
do people in other walks of life.
She lives with her work and in it,
having very few social engage
ments. And when she Is not work
ing she is taking care of herself,
for actresses must remain strong
and young and rosy in the face OF
all their hardships.
Nevertheless, most actresses are
happy, balanced creatures, be-
cause they are doing the work they
love best.
The best thing to do for bad
tooth is to visit a dentist. Have the
tooth filled or crowned, if 1t is
worth saving. If not, have the of
Tending member removed. A bad
tooth is a menace to health.

REMEMBER THIS AT
ElOUSECLEANING TIME.

The best process for washing fine
nets and lace curtains is to wash
the best naphtha soap.
To wash them in too hot water
makes them tender and causes the
threads to break. After washing out
the dust in warm water soap them
and allow them to stand for fifteen
or twenty minutes.
Then wash them by hand and al
ways wiring lace curtains carefully
through the wringer never by hand.
That strains them and causes them
to break in places. Rinse we'll In cold
water, then starch with warm starch.
If this process does not whiten
them scald, but do not boil them.
This is the best way to wash fine
curtains. espeeially ecru colored.
