ident of the convention. A committee
was then appointed to prepare and re-
port rules for conducting business.
This detail being satisfactorily ar
ranged, Gov Edmund Randolph of
Virginia opened the business OF the
convention. He proceeded to outline
the objections to the Articles of Con-
federation, the inadequacy of which
called forth this meeting. Randolph's
speech is given in full, in addition to
the resolutions he offered as basis
or working plan for the Constitution.
These resolutions were 10 in number
and bore the distinction of being the
first plan to be offered for the closer
and firmer welding of union which
had been rapidly drifting towards dis
solution. After Mr.. Randolph's adj
dress and resolutions, the convention
resolved itself into a committee of the
whole to take into consideration the
state of the American Union.
ION May 80 began the true battle
between the partisans of states rights
and the group which favored strong
centralized power and afterward be-
came known as the 'Federalists.' BY
this time ten states were represented
In the convention, and Randolphs
resolutions were taken up in order.
ION August the convention adj
iourned till the following day to give
the members an opportunity to con-
slider the report. Mr.. McHenry sug-
gested q meeting with Messrs. Car
roll Jenifer, Mercer and Martin of
the Maryland delegation to confer on
the report and to prepare to act in uni
son. This stormy conference took
Mace at Mr.. CARROTS lodgings. and
was marked by strong opinions.
Here occurs an interesting note de-
scribing an incident of that meeting:
az saw Mr.. Mercer make out g Est
of members names who had attended
or were attending in convention with
.for" and against" marked opposite
most of them-asked carelessly what
question accustomed his being so par
ticular upon which he told me laugh
ingly that it was no question but that
those marked with for" were for a
king. l then asked him how he knew

Newly Discovered People.

An interesting tribe on the Upper
Amazon has been discovered, which,
in it's division of work, is reminiscent
of the guilds of the middle ages. One
portion makes clothing and nothing
else, another one is purely agricul-
tural another devotes it's time and la
Dor to the construction of weapons and
SO on. Their pottery, however, is the
most notable of their productions
Some of these jars are extremely large
but very thin, although strong and
durable. Some of the smaller vessels
are almost as thin as paper.

Health Endangered
By High Heels
BY DR.. SAMUEL DIXON,
Commissioners of Health of Penn
sylvania.

The present extremely high heels
worn by the majority of American
women, both old and young mean de-
formity Of the feet. X-ray pictures in
dicating the relation of the toes TO the
ground when they are encased in these
mgh-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. a good hunter, a good farm
er, good sailor, good soldier-in
fact, anything he has found it neces-
sary through the ages to become, or
flnds now essential for the war we are
lighting to continue our personal lib
erty.
Let the butterfly girls and the other
high-heeled old and young women stop
and realize the value of the normal
foot of man. Let them cut off the high
heel and substitute the natural level.
This might also work out 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 it to 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 1t is continued
a 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
IL she wants them to have normal,
strong feet she must keep them natu-
rally shod.

suffering from this disease scatter it
through their droppings, from open
breaks in the skin and from the secre-
lions Of the nose and mouth. The
germs of the disease are dropped in
the dust, they are scattered through
the dust holes and on the edges of
feeding troughs and watering vessels.
OF course the best way Of getting
rid of the disease Is to kill off the
whole flock, burn the bodies, disinfect
the premises and start all over again.
But 1t is not very practical where you
can Ill afford the loss of the whole
flock, to say nothing of having to start
once more at the very beginning. This
should not be done unless there is ev-
cry indication that it is really tuber-
culOSis that is killing off the birds.
Sometimes the cholera is at fault when
tuberculosis gets all the blame, but
one Is about as bad as the other.
If the disease is known to exist in

Burn all the carcasses. There is no
other way of getting rid of them.
Where it is possible new yards and
houses should be established for the
apparently healthy birds. The old
houses may. as well be burned to the
ground. They would be dangerous for
years if allowed to stand.
Where the houses are well built and
of q permanent character they should
be left standing, but all the fixtures,
nesting equipment and other fixtures,
should be torn out and burned. Keep
the droppings cleared away daily and
use plenty Of germicide on the walls,
the floor and the roosts.

''In order to fix the opinions of his
colleagues, McHenry drew up four
propositions on the most consequent
tial articles, to lay before them at
their meeting on the following eve
ming. The propositions are given here
in full. The diary then proceeds with
the business of the convention on the
7th. The discussion then conferred on
the right of suffrage. Governor Nor
ris held that to give that right to
all freemen the government would UNI
doubtedly become an aristocracy. as
1t would put it in the power OF men
whose business created numerous de-
pendents. Doctor Franklin also spoke
on the subject:
"'He observed that in time of war

Salt Supergtitlons.

The kernel of all the salt supersti-
tons seems to be this: Salt cannot be
corrupt, and has, therefore, the title
TO be regarded as a symbol of immor-
tally. 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

@ WEW YORK. - Unexpectedly
IA there has come to light an

meetings which resulted In

Good Things for the Family.

For make-believe apple pie TO
serve in a hurry, the following will be
success: Cut few well-fiavored,
tart apples, put into a deep granite pie
plate, season with sugar, butter, CHINA
mon, nutmeg or In any way to suit the
taste of the family. Over the top place
slices of buttered bread, set into the
oven and bake until the apple sauce
has absorbed and softened the bread.
Serve with cream and sugar. Such
pie will be found harmless for the.
children's dessert. 1t is also a good
way to use leftover slices of bread.
However, we are not supposed to have,
leftover slices of bread these days, as
the old custom which was common In
grandmother's day is being revived,
that of cutting the loaf as the bread
is needed on the table. A very eco
nomical way of avoiding left-overs.
