FOOT TREATMENT.
Why Your Feet Go to Sleep and How
to Wake Them.

There is hardly man or woman
who has not experienced the strange
feeling of, having his or her foot
asleep. Few of them really know
what liz taking place. Though the pain
is n strange one. the cause Is explained
readily.
The strangeness of the foot going
to sleep" 10 due to a mechanical oh
struction Of the great sciatic nerve.
When we sit for a long time with our
legs crossed or with the back of the
thigh pressing upon the edge Of chair
the sciatic nerve il squeezed.
The sciatic nerve Is the largest In
the body. 1t springs from the small
Of the back and supplies nearly the
whole of the nerves Of the leg and
foot. The sciatic, like all other nerves.
Is really great bundle Of nerve f1bers,
each of which has Its own sheath.
The whole nerve Is elastic. and pres
sure on 1t will fiatten 1t, as rubber
hose liz fiattened by pressure. The
nerve fibers are like bundles of thread,
but finer. They run longitudinally.
each thread having It's ending some
where In a muscle or In the skin and
passing, without branching or commu-
nicating with the other threads with
which 1t is wrapped up. straight to its
nucleus in some nerve center of the
brain or spinal cord.
How these nerves carry sensation is
not known. but the operation is similar
to that OF messages passing by electric
Ity over a telegraph wire. If nerve
fiber he cut 1t no longer carries scnsa-
ton. Sensation can also be cut on by
COMPRISING a nerve, for the nerve
matter that does the work is soft, and
the sheaths that inclOse 1t are firm,
but elastic. Pressure at one point on
nerve is similar In Its results to pres
sure on a rubber hose through which
water Is passing. In the latter case
the flow of water Is stopped. In the
former the soft nerve matter within
the sheath is pushed apart, so that the
continuity Is actually broken and the
messages can no longer pass to or fro
over It.
When the pressure on the nerve Is
released the soft contents of the sheath
gradually return to their place.

RECRUIT iG OFFICER

The Mi. i.aeapolis Journal of recent date tells the story of why one of the Canadian recruiting officers is always seen puffing away at huge bulldog pipe and why he seems so fond Of it. It says: "A man who. by all the laws ot surgery. should be dead. is one of the busiest of recruiters at the British recruiting mission, 40 Second avenue south, this city.
 As this man lines up the recruits for service in the Canadian and British armies he puffs right cheerily at an old bulldog pipe which, by right. should be lying deep in the mud Of Flanders.
