SHOES
TO ALLOW THE cHlLDREN's FEET
GROW AS NATURE INTENDED

We've taken note lately to
the feet of children who have
come here to have shoes fitted
and it is really surprising to
note that out of so great a mum
Der only part had perfect feet.
Why was this, Simply because
of the shoes they had been
wearing. In one case we not
iced the shoe was too large
and we want to mention now
that this is a mistaken impress
sion mothers have. Shoes that
are too large and almost as bad
as shoes that are too short. In
other cases the toes had been
cramped by a pointed shoe.
Still others showed ill-fitting
arches.
If you are anxious TO have
your child's feet as Nature in
tended them to be, we strongly
advise shoes that have plenty
of toe room and amply broad.
Our Buster Brown children's s
shoes are admirablc-m this re-
spect. Prices, 50 to $3.50.

It would be depressing, if it in most pathetic, to hear the certainty and precision with which some of the big of the small towns criticse and condemn the "real of big ma ton doing the things that done before and large scale this country is being re- qured to do them.

By far the mos important measure, so far as southeastern anu "es ern Alaska is concerned.

 The amount of mans income taken by the in come has been enough so that he should say much about it.

 Her energetic people will ransack the world for orders.
 The matter Of the taxes to be borne by the several peoples is very vital The German prospect is certainly aluring. They have fought up to the assumption that the costs of the would be paid by their enemies. Hence they did not need to raise any tremendous in taxes.
 Consequently it is figured that Germany far has paid only IA per cent. of the in taxes. England has paid 26 cent. And the United States is undertaking far to pay 33 per cent It is ev- dent that this is going to leave in much better shape for the subsequent commercial
 Of it is freely suggested that Germany may repudiate large part of her debt. Or some think that the bond holders will be "persuaded' to accept lower rate of interest But any form of repudiation will be tremendous handicap to her business with community that does not fulfill its contracts to the very letter
