RATES HAVE CONE
UP SINCE THE WAR
Action of Warning Countries
Has Resulted in Steady Ad-
vance on Freight Charges
Says Report.

WASHINGTON. Dec. so. - Ocean
freight rates on shipments 10 Europe
from the United states have gone up
since ehe outbreak of the war Ito
a point. affording enormous specula-
tive profits This situation is due to
the fact that the United States has no
merchant marine to handle its COM
merce. These were the features of a
report made Tuesday to the senate by
the department Of commerce in re-
SPONGE to a resolution of Sen. Fletcher
adopted by the senate on Dec. Is.
AT the time when we have the
most 10 sell and customers abroad
eager TO buy" the report states, the
fact that our ocean carrying facilities
are in the hands OF others subject TO
war risks and controlled by inter
ests not our own, stareS Us in the face.
We are forced TO take the chances
of war and ship in belligerent bot
toms. II is estimated in shipping
circles that so per cent of the total
tonnage available for our trade has
been eliminated by the tying up of
German and Austrian marine and by
the Communicating of large part OF
the British marine by the admiralty.
The result has been a steady increase
in steamship rates.
The report shows that cotton ship
ped from New York 10 Liverpool had
a freight rate on July Il of 20 cents
per hundred pounds. on Sept. Il the
rate was ACC and on Dec 10 it was
75c per hundred pounds. Cotton was
shipped to Bremen, Germany, at a
2O-cent rate on July II, but on Dec.
% a cargo was forwarded at a rate
of $500 per hundred pounds.
Sacked -four from New York to
English ports had a rate of u to IS
cents per hundred pounds at the out
break of the war. Now similar ship
ments cost 26 to 3 3 cents From New
York TO Copenhagen the flour rate
has gone up from 20 cents to 60 cents.
Measurement goods from New York to
English ports now carry a rate of
$3.50 per ton, where formerly the rate
was S426 a ton on the average.

THIS FOR THAT

Editor Day Book-The tactics adj

Guilty only goes to prove that a GER
tain class has been living above
their means and at the expense of
the producer. The means of emer-
gency, like the sale of Panama bonds,
will not bring US back what we have
lost, but simply aid the spectators
to get another whack at us and offer
an opportunity to the financiers who
were taken in" recently to withdraw
their share.
The principle of the speculative
faction has ever been, never invest
your own but speculate with other
peoples money" That is the plum
in the pudding. But the continued
prosperity, owing to the extensive
ness of a haphazardly introduced
credit system, even the speculator
could not Withstand tie great temp

A PERTINENT QUESTION

Editor Day Book-It would be in
teresting to know whether the an
noyance of girls on cars is greater
or less since well-meaning reform
ers have succeeded in having the au-
thorities close the segregated red-ight
districts. Laws won't change hui
man nature Mans blood courses
through his veins with the same
speed, no matter how much legal reg
ulation we have. Prohibition doesn't
abolish thirst. Human appetites
can't be regulated by man-made law.
The so-called social evil is as old as
human society. There have been cru
sades against vice ever since we have
recorded history. Culture is the
thinnest veneer known to man. Be
meath the thin veneer is a barbarian,
with the same primordial instincts
that fevered Adams blood. There is
no less vice in Chicago since we I'M
segregated than there was when we
segregated. We have merely scat
tered it and made it more stealthy.
There is as much icentious liberty in
high society as ever. We are merely
trying to regulate the morals of the
unrich. We are liars and hypocrites.
We pretend to be good and we know
we are not good-A Mere Man.

UNREFRESHING SLEEP

The woman who is tired out, who
aches all over when she rises in the
morning, who feels depressed most of
the time, needs just the help that
DR.. Williams Pink Pills can give her
new blood and stronger nerves.
The number of disorders that are
caused by thin blood is amazing and
most women are careless about the
condition of their blood. Quickly the
nerves are affected and the patient
becomes irritable, worries over trifles,
does not sleep as we'll as formerly and
is not refreshed by rest. There may
or may not be stomach trouble and
headache. This is a condition that
calls for DR.. Williams Pink Pills, the
nonalcoholic tonic.
Give Dr. Williams Pink Pills trial
and the first sign of new life will be
noticed in your appetite. You will be
hungry by meal time. AS the blood
becomes enriched 1t feeds and soothes
the irritated nerves. sleep becomes
sounder and more refreshing, your
worries become less, your work lighter.
These are some of the things that
these tonic pills do. Try them for
any trouble caused by thin blood.

any woman the booklet, plain Talks
to Women" Your own druggist sells

Are You Wearing Proper Shoes?"

foot health. With heel the foot falls
more lightly on the ground. This advan-
tage is increased II the heel be covered
with rubber and this is specially to be
recommended If one is forced to walk
much on tiled or stone floor.
Shoes for Flat-Footed People.
Much of the discomfort and suffering
that comes from displaced arches can be
overcome with proper footwear. If the
arch has simply fallen. relief can be had
by wearing what are termed arch sup
porters, or shoes made with reinforced
sole to hold up the arch. In most cases
OF this trouble, however. there is a dis
placement of the muscles and the foot is
so far thrown out of the normal that spe-
cial treatment and a shoe made on most
careful measurements Is necessary.
Treatment under the advice of a physi-
clan specializing in orthopedics generally
begins with strapping the foot with
strong adhesive plaster, arranged so as to
raise the inner side of the foot and sup
port the arch. The hollow formed in this
way is filed in with a steel support care
fully made from a plaster cast Of the
foot, held in the position one wishes it to
retain. The shoe is then made from
careful measurements, conforming exactly
to the shape OF the foot. In addition to
this set OF excellent foot exercises
(Which we will take up later) is recon-
mended; the bodily health should also be
built up. BY following such treatment
some very bad cases of fallen arches have
been cured in six months time. no fur
ther mechanical support being necessary.
Although we throw the greatest possi-
BILE burden on the feet we give them little
general exercise. Cramped. as they are
all day in improper footwear, ii is n Won
der that many of the muscles do not grow
completely atrophied from lack of use.
Many of the physicians practicing ortho-
pedics recommend foot exercises, both to
correct fallen arches and weak ankles
and to preserve the feet in healthful
condition. The following exercises, prac-
ticed for ten minutes night and morning
have remedied many cases of fallen and
displaced muscles. and simply to keep the
feet in good condition should be done sew
eral times a week following the foot
bath.
Directions for Foot Gymnastics.
Begin by walking about the room with
the feet bare and turning the toes in, the
position generally described as "pigeon
toed" This exercises the inner muscles OF
the arch, the first to fall away. Follow
this by

ten TO twenty times
EX. D-Stand erect. toes turned slightly

Lift the heels one inch from the ground,
then raise them rapidly to two inches
above the floor, then lower them TO one
inch above the ground, then up to two
inches, as rapidly as you can keep the
poise. Do this from twenty to twenty
five times. 1t is an excellent exercise for
the leg muscles as well as the feet.

New Way to Play Marbles.
Place a variety OF marbles of different
sizes on the floor beside a deep bowl. Pick
up each marble with the toes and deposit
It In the basin, using first the toes Of the
right and then the toes Of the left foot
Children generally do this easily, but the
stiff toes of an adult especially II the
muscles are weakened find more difficulty
with it. But like all these exercises, the
more difficult they are to do, the more tho
patient needs them.
Wear Proper Shoes.
Perhaps you haven't fallen arches, but
you are forced to stand a good deal and
your feet ache and get tired easily. Are
you sure you are wearing proper foot
wear? l am afraid that the habit OF wear
ing proper foot apparel will only become
general when women have changed their
idea of what a shoe should be. The shoe
from the point of view Of good health
should not be an ornamental addition to
the toilet. but a covering and protection
to those hard-worked members of our
body, the feet 1t should therefore cor
respond exactly to the shape of the foot
which means that it should be straight
along the inner side, to conform to the
line of the big toe, and on the other side
should have a wide outward sweep, so as
not to compress the toes. This of course
eliminate the pointed toe and is quite
unlike any modern shoe. II we except the
sandals that some women are adopting
for home wear
A laced shoe gives a better support to
the ankles than a buttoned shoe; what Is
called an oxford, fastening across the in
step holds the foot in better position than
do the pumps so long popular, but the
average shoe is sadly lacking as a pro-
lection to the foot.
. Heels unnecessary, in childhood, be-
come of more Importance later, the OBJ
ject Of them being to assist walking by
inclinng the body somewhat forwards.
The high heel is inclined to throw the
body too much forward and out Of the
proper equilibrium and It is apt to be
too narrow to give proper rest. The help
