French Colors

1t is not generally known that the three stripes
of color that make up the French national flag, are
not equal in width. When the tricolor first
authorized in 1892. the positions and proportions of
the three colors not stated. and such variety of
flags was seen. that two years later the national
semby declared that the national standard should be
formed of the three national colors in equal bands
placed vertically, the hoist being blue, the middle
white, and the fly red
For years the flag was made in this way; but
altho the bands were equal, owing to optical iu
uson the blue appeared wider than the white, and
the white wider than the red
At last, after many experiments, it officially
decided that in every hundred parts the blue should
be thirty, white thirty three and red thrty-seven.

Be Fair to Your Feet

From the number of men in the prime of life
who have been rejected from the army because of
flat and weak feet" says the Illustrated World, we
may get an Idea of the enormous number of women
who also suffer from this condition. Here are some
exercises to and relieve weakened feet.
First learn to stand correctly. Science tells as
that must longer turn out toes, it places
the weight of the body upon the inner side of each
foot, which is the weaker side, and tends to break
down the arch of the foot Stand with the knees
stiff. the feet few inches apart and either parallel
to each other slightly toeing inward This allows
the great do it's full duty to the rest of the
foot.
For proper exercising of the feet there is moth
ing rational the army shoe, which comes in at
tractive and comfortable lasts for both men aud
women.
To strengthen the toes, and give that springy
elastic condition which the feet of savages possess
and which civilized men and women lack to such
large extent. stand with the feet slightly towing in
ward and the knees slightly bent forward and out
ward in the of bowlegs. Let the toes as
erasping position. This exercise may be
performed any time of the day when one is stand
ing 1t should be continued for ten minutes at a
time.
Exercises for the correction of fiat feet, and for
foot strain weakened feet should be performed in
shoes that give the toes plenty of so that they
may spread the weight of the body falls upon the
foot. When the body is raised the toes should be
contracted and by their eraspng of the sole of the
shoe give strength to the step. In this way the
weight of the body is lifted from the weakened in
arch by the and gradually aids in upbuilding
the arch.
"A balancing exercise which performs wonders
for flat feet and that weak outtoeing position to

parallel to each other and about three inches apart
divide the weight equally between the feet. Then

ercse the weight of the body is thrown on the other
side of the feet. Another exercise which corrects
the out toeing position is to stand on one foot so
that the weight of the body strikes the second toe
and lifting the other leg and curling the foot of the
elevated leg around the ankle of standing Leg
An invaluable morning exercise for persons
suffering from foot strain is to stand with toes
pointing inward then to rise on the toes and retain
this position for half minute Then raise the heel
and walk on the toes for several minutes.

foot specialist to have the proper shoe fitted will
