QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Valves That Murmur.

The examining physician of the
board said l had a murmur, and
was rejected in the draft. Does
that mean that there is valve
leakage? Is it likely to prove IA
tai? F. w.
Answer-No. A murmur is some
unusual sound heard when listening
to the heart or the arteries near II.
Often a murmUr is of no signiti-
canoe at all. Even If there is yaIV-
ular distortion (resulting from the
contraction or shrinkage Of the
scar tissue left by some past in
ELIMINATION of the heart lining)
there is no special reason why you
should not live as long as any one
else.
The IH-Bent Inside Line.
I think you advocate shoes with
straight inside lines. have a pair
of shoes on which the inside lines
really have an inward bend. yet
they are the most comfortable shoes
l have ever found, and they do not
look clumsy, either. C. e. L.
Answer-The inside line of IN
spoiled feet does show an inward
bend in most cases, so that the last
of your shoe is really ideal.
Stopping Precipitation.
Is there anything one can apply
that will prevent the perspiration
from the arnpits that ruins a
gown? Unless this is unsafe, I
would appreciate a formula for
something of the kind.
MRS. H II. P.
Answe-It is physiologically
safe One of the best things for the
purpose is a solution of half an
ounce OF aluminium chloride in
three ounces of rain water or dis
titled water Apply some of this
to the clean dry skin once each al
ternate day for about four times,
allowing it to dry on.

FarcEcaI Training IN PphlIc Schools,


Tho failure of oRs-thtrd of our
young mon of draft age TO meet tho
physical qualifications OF tho army
has brought US face to face with u
serious condition, namely, the ef-
feninacy encouraged by our public
school system. We are now max
ing feeble efforts to correct this
deplorable tendency of education by
making some sort Of physical train
ing more or less obligatory in our
schools. But we are going at this
important business in rather inef-
ficient manner. Instead OF placing
the department OF physical ed1ca-
ton under competent heads we are
straining to save a few cents In
taxes by making physical education
q mere side issue and entrusting to
any old teacher who happens to
have the time the task of giving
physical instruction to pupils IN
fortunate enough to be under her
care.
1t is certainly disheartening to
so into a grammar grade classroom
and watch the teacher Installing
farciCaI training into the children.
AS a general rule the teacher is
rather anemic and a sufferer from
that tired feeling. Her corsets, too,
handicap her efforts. So she fiopS
her arms about few times, bends
her neck hither and yon but not
far enough to put any undue strain
on the corset steels, and the poor
kids have to follow all this in the
same IackadaisicaI fashion the
teacher affects 1t is farcical train
ing, all right 1t is a fine way to
save money.
s. boy or girl who has to attend
a school where physical training is
ignored or where farcicaI training
is substituted as a measure of econ
Omy is unfortunate indeed. Far
better to omit geography, tiology or
umptyOtics from the curriculum and
teach the young idea how to live.
Our public schools are cursed with
altogether too many round shout
dered, narrow chested, knock
kneed, weak-footed, sloppy, sIouchy,
gOOd-for-nothing highbrOws, little
old phenomena, animated cyclOpe-
dias, potential failures.
We want few real men and
women.

a German Chautauqua.

Through neutral sources information has come
to the effect that the German government is organ
ising a great speech making campaign throughout
the entire land 1t is hoped that the result of
such effort the morale OF the populace may be
stimulated Those who able to sway the masses
By OF eloquence are being pressed into
this service German kuItur viii certainly be hard
put to enthusiasm while the armed forces are
backing down fast.
We wonder what subjects these orators will an
so as to attract the crowd. The following
topics would test their ingenuity to make a really
good story of:
How we treated the people of Belgium"
THE significance of the battle of the
Marine"
How nearly reached Paris"
The Zeppelin and its aid in war"
German contempt for the boys from
American farms"
THE prowess Of our two noble princes"
the crown prince and Prince Rupprecht"
German miIitarism, past, present, and
future"
4Our national greatness"
From the consideration of such subjects dealt
with in truthful manner much that would be of
a helpful nature might be deduced but alas the peo-
pie of the fatherland who are demanding explana-
lions, and eagerly asking the why and wherefore" of
recent events, will get nothing from this lecture
tour to satisfy their distracted minds

these messages But ere the oratorical tour shall
