How to TakeEare Of Your Neither Garb
and Keep Neat.
If it were possible to lay in 4 spring
and fall supply of. say. three or four
pairs of shoes we would give our feet
Il good chance of always looking neat.
However. it is possible on Il more lin
tied number to accomplish the same
end if we are careful with those we
do buy.
In the first place. it is much more
advisable to pay Il good price for one
pair than to buy two pairs of cheap
shoes. Cheap shoes get out of shape so
quickly they are never an economy.
Cheap shoe leather is dear at any price.
To preserve the shape of Il shoe you
must have u pair of trees, ANA imlne-
diately you take off our shoes put
them on the trees. Never allow your
shoes to run down at the heel. AS soon
as they show The least signs of wear
send them to be fixed. If you g
then until they are right down at the
heel it is not only bad for o II foot
and looks most siovenly and untidy.
but YOU GET them SO ont of shape that
NJ amount Of subsequent repairing will

II you happen to get your shoes wet
uOnt pll them near the radiator to
| dry. This cracks the leather and makes
them hard. Put them ON the trees and
let them stand somewhere warm and
dry. Wait until they are quite dry
before having them cleaned.
You can keep patent leather shoes
from cracking us rubbing vaSeIine into
them before wearing them for the first
time.

Even the layman can foresee
something of this. Medical science
is making great strides--tco great
for any one man to keep up with all
that is doing. Chemistry and physics
play ever-increasing roles and each
branch calls for lifetime of study.
And as scientists advance, so does
the public.
Nowadays 1t is not enough that a
physician shall cure acute illnesses;
he is expected to warn us in child
hood Of tendencies and abnormalities
that may lead in time to trouble.
More, the profession is expected to
warn whole communities of perils.
The public work as carried on by
health commissioners is recognized
as of highest Importance.
But, DIR. Haven Emerson warned
the Harvard Medical Alumni Asso-
citation, the physicians themselves
are not, as a body, awake to the
tendency of the times. "When uni
versal and recorded autopsies ex-
hibit the limits Of medical capacity"
he said, "once the public realizes
the tremendous per cent Of error in
diagnosis, even under the best hos
pital conditions, it is to my mind a
close question whether the medical
profession will feel more humbled
or the layman more alarmed.
Cooperation is necessary for
efficient service to the public. Will
you wait until the state demands
that you practice under her control
or will you take the obvious course
and meet the call with organization
for diagnostic efficiency"

WHERE THE COUNTRY STANDS

= has been difficult for a long
time to believe that the country was
being faithfully represented by the
great number Of Congressman and
Senators, especially from the Middle
West and South, who have opposed
adequate preparedness measures, and
have secuted the idea that this
country under any conceivable cir
cumstances might be involved in
war.
Recently there have been some
tests Of sentiment in a few locali-
ties which have suggested that the
country, or, at any rate, certain dis
tricts, have not been pleased with the
anti-preparedness attitude. Three
members Of the House recently an
nounced that they would not aspire to
denomination, and they substantial
ly agreed that it was because they
couldn't conscientiously support the
military program of the Admins
tration. In the cases of at least two
Of them, reports from their districts
declared that, in fact, their people
were disposed to object to their atti-
tude, and that their Withdrawals
were in exercise of that discretion
which is sometimes, even in politics,
The better part Of valor.
From the North Carolina district
Of House Leader Kitchin comes now
circumstantial account of senti-
ment, which declares that Mr..
Kitchin's constituents don't fancy
his opposition to the preparedness
measures of the Administration.
Antagonist to Mr.. Kitchin is organ
izing; petitions of remonstrance are
being circulated; and the people are,
in short, taking measures to insure
That they shall not be miSrepresent-
ed by their Congressman's votes.
We venture to guess that there
will be a good many more cases of
the sort by the time the voting is
finished next November.
