Unsound Feet and Legs.

Americas physical foundation-the
feet and legs of her citizens-is un-
sound, If we are to believe P. A. Vale,
who has made study of feet, says
Popular Science Monthly. If we do not
discard the present monstrosities in
fOotgear and get into the habit of walk
ing, using our legs and feet instead Of
the automobile and street car, he says
we will become human penguins. He
calls attention to the fact that DR..
Lloyd Brown, the examining physician
of Harvard, found that 500 Of TAG men,
bers Of the 1916 freshmen class stood
in a manner that indicated "a poten.
TALLY for Sickness" and that 476 Of
the 500 students had feet and legs so
imperfect that they were ineligible for
military duty! Lack of leg exercise is
supposed to be the cause of this con-
dition. Mr.. Vale says that the Ameri-
can woman has neglected herself so
long that her legs and feet are suffer-
ing malformations. There is no longer
in her leg the beauty of the classic
line.
