Kidding THE FLOCK
OF TUBERCULOSIS

II your chickens are free from tu-
berculosis, every precaution, within
reason, should be taken to keep that
freedom. l don't know that it is
spreading any faster than usual, but
the Interchange of birds, the buying
OF fowls on the open market for fat
tening purposes and allowing chick
ems to follow infected herds of cattle
are some of the things that spread
the disease, says a writer in Farm
Progress.
tuberculosis is tuberculosis where
ever it is found. If there happens to
be consumptive patient In the fam
lily or near the premises, see that the
birds are kept away from any and
all the patients secretions. IL the
common-sense plan of burning the
sputum and all other discharges is
adopted there will be little danger
from this source.

Health Endangered
By High Heels
BY DR.. SAMUEL DIXON,
Commissioner Of Health Of Penn
sylvanIa.

The present extremely high heels
worn by the majority of American
women, both old and young, mean de-
formlty OF the feet X-ray pictures In
dicating the relation of the toes to the
ground when they are encased in these
hlgh-heeled shoes, show that women
are walking on the ends of their five
toes. There Is food for thought In the
fact that the horse nowadays walks
on foot consisting of one toe, while
In the more primitive animal there
were three or five toes.
The shape Of the natural foot OF man
has a great variety of uses and it Is
one of the things that has helped to
place him first in the life of the earth.
The natural foot has been one of the
anatomical facts that has helped him
to his present high state Of efficiency.
The form of that foot mas enabled him
TO become. good hunter, a good farm
err a good sailor, a good soldier--in
fact, anything he has found it neces-
sary through the ages to become or
fnds now essential for the war we are
'iSA,ihS W toAtllue our personal I'D
erty.
Let the butterfly girls and the other
hlgh-heeled old and young women stop
and realize the value of the normal
root OF man. Let them cut off the high
neel and substitute the natural level.
This might also work cut to the in
terest of direct economy by using the
surplus heel to make thicker soles on
the shoes.
Let us recognize the models of ma
ture which have led us to success. If
mans foot had been abused for an
indefinite time In a way to have re-
duced 1t to a one-toed foot, resembling
the horses, he would have hard time
trying to fulfill his present duties in
life.
The high heel represents the fashion
for the women of today and means
great discounting of the value Of
mankind, particularly If it is continued
long time. The present high heel is
not only torturous but of great injury
TO the health. The mother must re-
member that she Is partly responsible
for the feet of her children and that
| If she wants them to have normal,
strong feet she must keep them natu-
rally shod.

Women Better Students.

According to statistics recently COM
piled, women at the University of Wis
consin last year attained a higher
scholarship than the men students, ay-
eraging S2.9 per cent to 500 for the
men, while the average for men and
women undergraduates was S1.3. Wom-
en- who were members of sororities
averaged $40, while nonsorority wom-
en- averaged 81, which is contrary to
the generally accepted idea that sorori-
ties tend TO divert attention from work
in college.

Salt Superstitions.

The kernel of all the salt supersti-
tions seems to be this: Salt cannot be
corrupt, and has. therefore, the title
to be regarded as q symbol of immor-
tality. In Ireland 1t was for long the
custom TO place a pewter plate con
tanning salt upon the heart of the
corpse until burial. Then, with Goals
and holy water, it was thrown into
the grave.

The Greek Maiden and Liberty. The last tab leau assumed a patriotic character when Columbia" held the united flags of France and the U.
