TO BUILD HOME FOR
METHODIST STUDENTS

Methodists of Iowa under the
direction of Bishop Homer C. Stuntz
of Omaha, have purchased a plot of
ground in Iowa City upon which will
be built a social and religious home
for the one thousand Methodist
students in the State University. The
building will be situated just off the
campus and within a block of the
church which serves the Methodist
students.
When completed the building will
include library of religious litera-
ture, rest rooms for men and women,
class rooms for Bible study, reception
rooms. kitchens and dining rooms,
and the student pastors home and
offices. 1t will be constructed so that
the many small rooms may be opened
up to form one large auditorium.
No attempt is going to be made, &C
cording to L. F. Townsend, student
pastor, to compete with other denom-
nations within the University or
wit b Methodist la6 colleges ll IN Iowa The
aim is to draw the Methodist students
of the University together in way
that would be impossible without the
special building and equipment.

"Come here, Billy Boy. and try on

died over to its mother who placed
him on a chair and proceeded to put
a shoe on his foot
''Those are good looking shoes"
said John, but the toe is too mar
row for that chubby foot"
Eyes, fear it is; no child of miae
shall suffer with deformed feet as
have if it can be avoided. All my
trouble from ingrown toe nails might
have been avoided. l am sure, if my
feet had been properly fitted when l
was a baby"
Cannot you find broad toed shoe

they look so clumsy that l chose
these instead. but l see plainly that

change. Babies feet are hard to fit,
they are so fat"
at surely is time he had a new
pair. Look how he has outgrown the
old ones. His toe crowds out over
the SOLE"
Il have been careless and let him
wear them too long, but it was partly
a false economy. Shoes cost so much

all the wear possible out of each
pair, but from the way that toe is
crowded it looks as though l would
regret my stinginess."
Wouldn't it be wise to get a
larger size? He will soon grow into
them"
''That sounds easy, but when they
are too large they don't fit anywhere
and that is almost as bad as the
tight shoe. | guess we will just have
to economic somewhere else and fit
baby with the right shoe"
did you notice the Jones baby
the other day while he was playing
with Billy Boy? His ankle turned
so that he walked on the side of his
foot"
Eyes, I knew he had weak ankles
and the one is very bad. He certain
ly needs some special exercises to
develop the muscles of that floppy
ankle. A brisk rub at night with al
cohol would help, and doctors are
recommending rolling dumb bells

When he is older he should jump
rope and dance, they say"
Il thought that children who had
weak ankles should wear corset
shoes"
Some do but it is unwise to put
corset shoes on a child except under
specialists advice. You see braces
on a foot do not allow for any de-
velopment of the muscles and they
become weaker"
do children ever have flat foot,
too?"
Eyes, and | think many children

they have growing pains, because
the pain from the foot extends up in
to the leg. | read the other day that
children suffering from flat foot are
trained to toe in. But if anything
allied my baby's feet l would try to

Foot Facts
The bones in babys feet are
soft. Fit his feet carefully or they
may become deformed.
In grown toe nails are usually
formed by narrow toed shoes.
A shoe should follow the lines of
the foot.
Avoid square toed shoes.
All shoes should have a high box
to make>room for the toes.
Weak ankles and flat foot may
make cripples of your children.
Foot ailments should be treated
early to avoid permanent deformity

BRITISH LOSSES

Month Of May
Approaches Record Set in the
Battle of SOmme

London, May 81, 11.30 A. M-Brit-
ish casualties as published in May
show total of 1902 officers and 1885,
33l men.
The British offensive on the Arras
front, involving some of the severest
fighting Of the war, naturally has re-
suited in a large increase in casualties
over the inactive winter season. Cas-
ualties for the last few months have
not been received but in February the
total reported was only 1243 officers
and men The assertion Of the British
that their losses are so per cent. small
er than in the battle of the. Somme,
Notwithstanding the fact that larger
forces are engaged, is not borne out
by the May figures, although in the
absence of the casualties report for
April, early in which month the Of
fensive was launched, the showing is
not conclusive. The casualties record
ed in the first three months of the
Somme drive were 307,169 officers and
men. In August of last year, the sec
ond month of the Somme battle, the
casualties were 127,945 as compared
with 1928 for May. the second
month of the Arras battle.
