Indians Best Walkers,

When it comes to feet civilized man
has a thing or two to learn from the
dog eating Igorrote or the pigeon toed
American Indian, says Prof. l.. j. Rich
ardson in Il bulletin entitled 1.-The Sol
dicr on Foot" and issued by the Uni
yersity of California.
Becoming Il patron of the long
abused pigeon toed man Professor Rich
ardson says that the normal gait of
man is eXcmplitied by the American
Indian. who walks with his feet set par
ailcl or even with the toes turned
slightly inward. III this way all the
toes function and the lifting and pro
DCiling power of the foot is at its maxi
mum, he says.
While drploring the army regula-
lions requiring Il soldier to stand with
his toes turned out ut an angle Of
about 10 degrees, because of the ten
dency to cause everSion of the foot
and weakness of the pOSterior arch,
Professor Richardson is sufficiently OPP
timistic for civilized man to conclude
that in spite of the inherited and ac-
quired bad habits he can reform and
learn to walk" with fair results.
Walking in tight shoes generation
after generation is the cause of nearly
ali the foot troubles of civilized man,
the professor says. This condition. he
says, has left but Il single strong toe
on either foot. the others being in some
measure atrOphied.
Frequent washing, trimming the toe
nails and an avoidance of change from
nigh to low heeled shoes are suggested
as Il means Of obviating much foot
trouble.

MUST PROTECT KAISER
Dynasty Must be Preserved Says
HertIina, Advocating Election Reforms

Hertilng, AoVoeatlng ELECTION Reforms
Amsterdam, Sept. EN- speaking
to the constitution committee of the
PruSsian upper house to fulfill the
emperor's pledge for reform of the
franchise, Chancellor Won Hertling
said that, in his honest conviction,
with the serious question the pro-
lection and preservation of the crown
and the dynasty is at stake"
The government" said the chan
cellor, considers that its task is TO
expressed in the July message. AS
all the sons Of the fatherland are de-
Tending the fatherland, there now is
no question of social discrimination
at 1he next election.
therefore endeavor to find raod
that leads to an understanding.
The object is one which l under
took to achieve when l accepted office
and upon which l intend to stand or
fall, but it is no question Of minister
al responsibility in the ordinary po-
litical sense. My honest conviction is
that with this serious question the
projection and preservation of the
crown and the dynasty are at stake
The government sees no possibility
of approving the bill in the form in
which 1t came from the lower house
I fully appreciate the scruples regard
ing the introduction of general equal
suffrage, but at the present time these
scruples must give way to greater
tasks. namely, the protection of the
most precious treasures of our politi-
cal life-the dynasty and the crown
The government will exercise no

LEARNING WHITE MANS WAYS
Eskmos Said to Be Making Crafty
ing Progress as Result OF Mis-
sionaries' Teachings.

On HerSchel island. where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks in
summer, the EskimoS had sun dance,
not always clothed in the garments of
propriety, writer in an exchange says.
They had an idea that when the sun
came back its movements were direct
ed by an invisible power, but they had
no tangible conception of God. They
had no belief in q future life. either
of reward or punishment. Today they
are religious. truthful, kind TO their
children and to the aged. They are
ambitious to learn: they are practical,
extremely Industrious, sanitary in
their habits. well clothed and well
housed Insanity is unknown, but tu-
berculOsis is common.
They whale in summer and trap in
winter They are clever in trading.
good workers on land, water and ice,
and take excellent care of their house
hold effects. Tools. If broken, are
neatly repaired. When on Herschel
island or at Fort Mcpherson. they eat
the white mans food with great rel
ish. In summer they eat their fish and
blubber raw and In winter frozen. They
like food cooked, but it is matter #
Indifference to them. They will bar
ter for the white mans food, eat a
hearty meal of it, and then go out and
eat blubber and raw fish as dessert.
The contents of deer's stomach they
consider a great delicacy.
