sets the catfish old dowager to whis-

Charles, backing it up with accusa-

his wife, will not listen.
On hoseback ride during a storm,
Gertrude and Hartley seek refuge in
a eserted tower, where the girl, fright

to use this visit to Hartley's lodgings

Better Feet" Drive.



This may be the slogan of the newest
drive to be launched throughout the
United States in the near future.
1t is Young Women's Christian asso-
citation campaign for better feet" and
it will be known throughout the country
and perhaps abroad as the shoe cam
paign. 1t is being launched from the
health division of the bureau of social
education of the national board of the
Young Womens Christian association
through schools, colleges and clabs
throughout the country, as well as
through the association membership of
100000 women. "Good shoe" week will
be held in New York in the early fall
according to the plans of Miss Harriet
Wilde, head of the division of physical
education of the national board of the
Young Womens Christian association
New York women will have their feet
examined free, the proper kind of shoes
will be widely exhibited, the manufac-
turers listed and women will be taught
to walk.
Good shoe" week probably will be
held in other cities.
For five years women's feet have
served all of the big drives of the war,
and perhaps it is only fair that they be
pensioned by a drive all their own" At
least Mrs. Bertha M. B. Andrews, assist
ant director of the physical education
department of the Young Women's
Christian association, says that there is
no campaign so necessary to the health
of women.
"Womens shoes are as bad as they
can possibly be-" is the contention OF
Mrs Andrews, "and mems shoes are be-
coming worse every day. The great cry
is, We can't get good shoe-the manu-
facturers do not make them This is in
great measure true. 1t was with this
fact in mind that conference of shoe
manufacturers was held at the headquar-
tiers of the national board Of the Young
Womens Christian association last
spring The problem was TO produce
low shoe, with low fat heel, flexible
shank that would allow enough exercise
of the muscles of the arch to keep them
strong and a shoe with enough room for
the toes and straight inner border to
fit the foot, which is naturally straight
on the inner side The shoe was also
TO be attractive
Samples are coming in to the Young
Womens Christian association but few
of them, according to Mrs. Andrews,
combine good sense with beauty of line
Here are some Young Womens Chris
tian association rules for good feet:
/. Throw away your arch supports.
3 Use simple home exercises.
D. Treat your feet as if they were hui
man.
f. Wear low shoes all winter. Protect
your ankles with spats when necessary,
but never wear shoe high enough to
prevent circulation and use of the foot
and ankle muscles
s. Don't blame the fat heel shoe for
your broken arch. Blame the high heel
shoe YOU wore before.
6. In walking point your toes straight
ahead.

ATTRACTING APPRENTICES
Some Suggestions as to Methods in the
Granite Industry.

Confronted by critical and increas-
Eng labor shortage, the Barre Granite
Manufacturers association has estab-
1ished sliding scale of wages for ap-
prentices which is scarcely equalled In
any line of industry. Deliberately fixing
The wages at high figure in the effort
to attract young men to the craft, the
manufacturers thus remind the entire
industry that the time has come when
all who are interested in the business of
monument making must in concert en-
deavor to bring new and young blood
into the craft The exodus of skilled
labor has by some been attributed to
the anxiety of many workers to visit
their relatives in Europe after the war,
but careful investigation has disclosed
that these men are constantly turning
Ito less arduous occupations The eff
cient and successful stonecutter is a
highly intelligent and skilled workman
and however ignorant he may be of any
other branch of mechanics he is quick
to learn, and the war occupations have
demonstrated his ability to adapt him
self to other lines of work.
An impartial observer cannot but ad-
mire the moral courage and stamina of
the Barre manufacturers who have, dur
ing period of acute labor shortage, re-
Trained from the temptation to bid
against each other for men with which
to complete the immense volume of bust
mess on hand. Those who have recently
visited Barre know just how serious con-
ditions are in this granite center, which
has been well styled the pulse of the
monument industry" Manufacturers
generally are operating with from one
third to one-half their needed quota of
men. Despite these and other trying
problems, the manufacturers generally
have refused to bid against other produc-
ers for men, But for this restraint the
competition for workmen would long
since have been acute 1t is obvious
that it behooves the entire industry to
cooperate with the manufacturers as
ISOLATION in their critical effort to at.
tract young men as apprentices.
News of the high wages for appren-
tices will doubtless spread to all quar-
ters, and it is in spreading this gospel
that the local dealers can aid in the good
work. The Barre Granite Manufactur-
ers' association might do well to pre-
pare little pamphlet setting forth the
scale Of wages for apprentices and the
subsequent prices for the q. luated
worlmen. Living conditions in Barre
should be explained and the pamphlet
should give every attractive detail of
interest to the young man. The various
government agencies designed TO find
employment for ex-soldiers would well
come such descriptive literature, and it is
probable that the Y M. G. A. and sim
1lar organizations would be agreeable to
The plan of having these booklets on file
for distribution among the young men
who seek employment through these or

SO acute that no means should be neg
lected to bring immediate relief and

Combinations with Tomatoes.

Canned tomatoes are only feeble be-
ginning of what can be done when a
woman, a can and tomato get together
says the Springfield Republican. So try
these;
Tomato Honey--To each pound of ripe
tomatoes allow the grated yellow rind of
one lemon and one orange. Cut the to-
matoes in small pieces tunskinned), add
the rind, and simmer until quite thick !;
then strain through a sieve. Measure
the pulp, and for each pint take one
pound of sugar and the juice of one
orange and one lemon, Let all cook to-
gether very quickly until of the consist.
ency of honey and seal alright in small
jars or bottles. Stir frequently while
cooking.
Tomato Mustard-This is highly
spiced relish. Simmer together for 40
minutes half a husheI of ripe tomatoes
(sliced) and six small red peppers finely
chopped remove the seeds. Press the
mixture through colander and add one
tablespoonful Of black pepper, one ounce
of ground cloves, salt TO taste, one cupful
of brown sugar, two grated onions and
one-eighth of an ounce of mace. Boil
down until quite thick, and when cold
mix in one ounce each of mustard and
curry powder and large cupful of vine
gar Seal with paraffine.
Tomato and Apple Jelly-This is a
very economical Jelly, as it can be made
from apple parings and a few quartered
apples, combined with twice the amount
OF unripe tomatoes Cut the tomatoes in
thick slices, add the parings and fruit,
and cook in the upper part of the double
boiler until very tender Drain without
pressure, and for each pint of juice add
the thin yellow rind and juice of half a
lemon Boil for 20 minutes, take out
the rind and add a cupful of heated sug-
Skim well and boil until it will jell when
tried on a cold plate. Store like other
jellies.
Ripe Tomato Conserve--Remove the
skins from six ripe tomatoes and cut
into small pieces. Allow three-quarters
of pound of sugar for each pound of
the prepared vegetable. Also add the
juice of two lemons and one orange and
two broken sticks of cinnamon, half a
nutmeg and a teaspoonful of whole
cloves tied in net bag. Let all stand
in graniteware preserving kettle for
two or three hours and then simmer UNI
til like marmalade When nearly done
add three-q quarters of a cupful of seeded
rasins and a quarter of pound each Of
chopped nut meats, c&ndied orange peel
and candied ginger. Cover when cold
with parafiine.
Mock Tomato Figs-If possible select
small, yellow, pear-shaped tomatoes but
any small tomato will do. Remove the
skins by dipping in boiling water, and to
