The Reason.

While there may be danger of over working the word efficiency, there is little likelihood of pushing beyond due limits the idea which it has come to represent. It stands for getting the maximum amount of results from the minimum expenditure of time, money energy The expert, the efficiency en- gineer, is invading all lines of busi- ness, eliminating waste in all it's forms. If it is worth while to pay efficiency engineers to show us how to retrench on business lines, is it not infinitely more important to employ efficiency engineers of the human ma chine? The real office of the physi- clan is to keep his patients we'll. All conscientious, up-to-date physicians agree to this. Since there is such an agreement among physicians, what is the contribution of osteopathy to the healing sciences? What is the reason for it's existence?
 The distinctive contribution of os- teopathy is that that mechanical de engagements of various tissues of the body, by interfering with the blood and nerve supply of the organs, and consequently their functions, are a fruitful source of disease.
 No other recognized school of heal ing holds these ideas. and since in the twenty-two years that osteopathy has been practiced as a profession it has demonstrated in countless thou sands of cases that the theory is true, that it works, it would seem that the fact that it cures cases that nohing else will cure is sufficien req son for it's existence.

The benefit entertainment given at the Orpheum theater last night was an exceptional success, both as a financial undertaking, the proceeds amounting to $170, and also as to the high-class entertainment pre- sented for the pleasure of the public.

CHANGING COLOR OF EYES
Garniture Has Much to Do With Their
Appearance-Some Things Worth
Remembering.

Have you noticed how the color OF
your eyes changes sometimes with the
weather. and sometimes with the col.
or you wear?
With almost everything but the eyes
II takes contrast to bring out color.
For Instance, a portrait OF n blonde
woman almost invariably has blue In
the background. and somewhere about
the portrait OF brunette you will
find pink or red. blended to accentu.
ate the dark skin and hair.
II Is exactly the opposite with na.
ture. a color brings out a color. You
will see u rosy-cheeked girl with q
rose-colorcd hat on her head: remove
tho hat and replace II by n brown or
green one and she will look pale.
A blue hat or veil casts u blue
shade over the face. so that the sweet.
est natural complexion will appear as
II painted.
You can make your blue eyes or
gray.blue eyes deeper In color II
you like. II you wear a blue facing
or much trimming upon your hat the
same shade will be reflected In your
eyes.

EASY TO HAVE sHAPELY FEET
May Not BE Perfect, but Il 10 Ones
Own Fault II They Ar
0oformsd.

A perfect foot IL very rare. heard
. fashionable shoemaker say that out
of every ten women who came In to
be fitted, not more than one has .
shapely foot. and the greater proper
ton have more or less deformed ones.
Their feet have been spoiled by care
lessness and neglect. by ill-htting or
cramping shoes and by ungainly. un-
graceful walking.
II you want to keep your feet a.
shapely as nature made them. and
free from corns, calluses and similar
disf1gurements, observe the following
rules:
/. Never forget that the feet are
hard workers and have to bear the
burden of the whole body. Sit down
when tired. Do not rest one foot at
the expense of the other.
2. Bathe the feet every night Use
soft warm water, and be liberal with
soap. A little salt AIDED to the bath
water braces and tones the muscles
and skin. A few drops Of eau-de-co-
logne in the rinsing water is soothing
when tired
3. Thoroughly dry the feet dust
ing with a mixture Of equal parts Of
boracic powder and the finest pow.
dered starch.
I. Massage the feet for few min
utes every night. Begin at the toes
and rub with firm. but gentle. pres
sure with an upward movement to-
ward the leg. Put little warm cocoa
butter on your hands. This treatment
helps to make the foot narrow and
arched and and ankle slender.
S. Change the stockings every day.
and see that they are not overdarned.
6. Never wear cheap shoe leather.
1t is the reverse of economical. See
that your shoes are we'll made, and
not only wide enough, but sufiiciently
long. Short shoes are frequent
source OF corns and bunions. Also
they cause the joints to contract and
enlarge and otherwise distort the foot
Do not constantly wear the same
