The Pampered Child

We sometimes think that much OF the solicitude

guarding him too closely against work which would
do him more good than harm. We fear that it in
many cases going to the extent of pampering
1t well enough to legisate against the evils
of chidlabor. That evil manifested itself chiefly in
factory towns and coleres and resulted in the
ing of child growth, physically and mentally. That
has been pretty well suppressed. One of our Amer

fad of it and all fads foolish if unwhoesome

out of bed long before dawn chasing the cows or
horses through dewy frosty fields. He ate his

RECALLING A LAUGH
(Minneapolis Tribunel


The death of Ella Wheeler Wilcox
will recall to older readers a newspa-
per controversy which ragged furiously
in the Eighties" of the past centurys
over the authorship of bit of versa
whose initial line read, Laugh and
the world laughs with you, weep and
you weep alone" Published anony-
mously, this poem sprang into almost
instant popularity, and as it was float
ing about the country without credit
Colonel Joyce of st. Louis took in the
seeming orphan and included it in a
book of poems issued under his name
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, then coming to
notice as a Wisconsin poet, immedi-
ately asserted authorship of the poem
In the controversy which followed
Colonel Joyce declared that if she were
not woman he would horse-whip
her. But the bar of public opinion
quickly decided in favor of Miss
Wheeler, who afterwards became Mrs
Wilcox.
There are few old time scrap books
that do not contain a copy Of the poem
1t was read and recited from one end
of the country to the other and paro-
dies on it We're numerous and are still
to be found occasionally. OF course
Ella Wheeler's fame does not rest on
that poem while Colonel Joyce's con-
nection with it is still remembered for
its audacity.

DO YOU WALK CORRECTLY?

have not suffered as much from these
evils as women, but there were enough
flat feet in the army after the first
draft to show that mems shoes, as well
as women's can stand a few reforms
The masculine ligaments are stronger,
and therefore harder to break down
than the feminine, and they are never
required to bear the strain of high
heels, but the masculine toes resent
being cramped into narrow, pointed
shoes just as much as the feminine.
"A whole army of orthopedic ply
sicians make a living out of the fact
that folks will persist in wearing the
wrong kind of Shoes" says one foot
authority. Haven't you often passed
people on the street who were walking
along with painful, limping gait and
strained, hurt expression and Won
dered what awful thing had happened
to make them look like that? Prob
ably you were so busy being sorry for
their feet. If you had, you would have
found that what happened was not
bad news but bad shoes.
ITO keep your feet in good condi-
ton so that you'll enjoy living and
walking, wear a sensibly shaped shoe.
The kind with low heel, straight in
ner border, which does not twist the
big toe, and so cause a bunion, is the
best model. 1t should also be broad
enough to allow plenty of room for the
movements of the toes, and the soles
and uppers should be flexible so that
you can use your muscles, for weak
ened muscles lead to painful broken
arches"
If you suffer with painful feet, go to
your physician or to a reputable CHR
opodist and ask him 20 give you the
names Of some firms which make
shoes to fit the natural form of the
foot; buy pair, and wear them. In
the case of women, this requires
courage. For these natural shoes
are wierdlooking things, but it isn't
their fault. 1t is ours. The natural
shape of the foot is usually a great
blow to one who is not versed in the
general lines of the human anatomy.
This is because we have lost the sense
Of the normal lines and proportions of
the foot, and even the expert is obliged
to study the feet of infants, primitive
and the best sculpture in order to re-
cover it.
American shoe styles, at present, are
very much under the influence of

Teachers Salaries

The state superintendent of education the other
day declared in favor of minimum salary Of Sloo
a month for teachers That certainly is not too much
1t is far less than any community pays for having
it's horses shod; for having it's hogs and cattle doc
tored- Surely much ought to be paid by the COM
munity for having its children taught. Education
is now the cheapest thing there is and according to
the prices paid is the least desirable from
financial standpoint If one wants to get along
in the world, good clothes, have enough to eat
and live free from debt, he had better be black
smith a veterinary.
Our schools are not what they ought to be- That
it is agreed the fault of the teachers. But prmar-
lily the fault of the teachers, but the fault
Of the community for neglecting to make the pro-
fesson attractive to teachers. Even the poorest
teachers give than they get.
At the late convention of the Minneapolis Edu-
catonal association, Hugh G. Magil, field secretary
for the National Education association said that if
the teaching problem is TO be solved satisfactorily
higher wages must be paid to teachers; then higher
standards may be required of them; more general
appreciation of the profession of teaching must be
shown and more liberal provision must be made for
the training of teachers Mr.. Magin down better
pay as the first of these requirements.
Some able teachers through sheer love of their
work and through struisc in the welfare of
boys and girls, willing to endure sacrifices in
pecunary way because of these finer compensatons,
but It exceedingly poor policy not to unjust
and unfair one to think of the whole teaching pro-
fession such and to deal with 1t according
" It is NOT in human nature that such policy can
succeed should for the good of society and the
state.
Churches Of the United States confessing
themselves greatly handicapped in their religious eff
forts OF the insufficient to ministers and
mission workers in the field They have set to work
in earnest to overcome these handcaps by means Of
greater working funds. The infusion of voluntary
personal and sacrifice is general in the
religious than in the educational field. hence still
stronger why there be adequate monetary
for the right kind Of talent to be devoted
10 the teaching occupation.
All sorts Of civic and social organizations
turning their attention so-caed AUGMENTATION
work This is excellent but IL the maximum of good
results flow from these worthy efforts, the great
army Of teachers must play a role that cannot pos
sibly be assumed by any other class Of citizens
Teachers deal almost daily during the greater part
OF each year with plastic minds and are developing
character at the most impressionable stage Of
life. Their formative influence upon young America
is so great to be ncalculabe. II they be fit
for their great work an rreparabe to good cit
izenship is thereby sustained. The best single way
although the only to insure fitness in teachers
is to pay them literally using reckoning
points the scales OF compensation for equivalent
service in other fields Of usefulness.

A Descent

The road to Avernus is down hill and slippery,
told and one making the descent needs strong
breeding II he wants to hold back, stop, moderate
speed lest he arrive the bottom hastily in
heap. Now there is County Attorney R. D. French OF
Cochise county, who is not equipped and who has
just brought against himself strong resolution by
the American Legion of Bisbee.
We have been informed by citizens of Douglas
who knew Mr. French we'll fellow townsman
that previous to the campaign of 1918 he was man
of moderate views and in all respects good average
citizen. He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
the people of the community AS candidate for tins
nomination for county attorney he pledged himself
to prosecute the who had taken part in the de-
portation of the l. W. W. July H. 1917. That
altogether proper pledge, such candidate
should have been afraid make. had been alleged
that certain had been guilty of lawlessness, ana
it is the duty prosecuting officers investigate
of lawlessness to convict, if possible of,
tenders against law and order to ascertain there
may be extenuating circumstances
The fact that such pledge had been demanded of
Mr.. French, not by recognized friends of law and
order but by the !. W. w. and their sympathizers
was not to be considered; the further fact
that the atmosphere of Bisbee had been greatly
cleared and purified by the deportation, matter for
the consideration Of the candidate for prosecuting
attorney 1t was the duty Of any prosecutor who
might be elected in Cochise county whether he had
pledged himself or not investigate any allegation
of crime. But very much doubt whether it is
proper any candidate pledge himself to do any
thing for the purpose of securing votes of certain
element
Mr. French elected and it was after long de-
lay and we have been told after considerable naggng
insistence part of the l. W. W. and their sym
pathizers that he took up the deportation matter 1t
cannot be complained though. that he has proceeded
half -heartedly he started. His association
with the complaining witnesses has apparently
changed him that, according to recent statement
and which provoked the American Legion resolution,
he is now unable to distinguish republicans and demo-
Gratis from the 1. W. W. They all look alike to him.
When one can see no difference between the ]. w.
W. and decent citizens he has gone pretty far down
into the shadows He is not far from the bottom; he
will soon be at a point where his vision will be SO
obscured that he nothing except by looking
upward and backward to the elevation from which he
started.

BY Frederci j. Haskin.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S-Do you walk
correctly? Most people don't. If you
have any illusions concerning the gem
eral uprightness of the human race,
just sit at your front window some
idle afternoon and watch the method
by which each pedestrian manages to
move along the sidewalk. It's a great
educational experiment. For if the
people look the same in your town as
they do here, You won't find more
than about one in every thirty or forty
who walks the way nature intended
him to.
"Of course, people do not walk the
way they do deliberately, with malice
of forethought,' said a New York
physical culture director the other day,
as he watched the various examples
of incorrect walking on Fifth avenue.
Its just carelessness. The trouble
with most of US is that we have taken
our walking as a matter of course
all these years, just as we have our
physiogomy, neglecting opportunities
to change and shape it into thing
of beauty
but" complained his companion, a
business man, who had just received
rebuke for his slouchy gait, why
get excited about it? Why reproach
me for what l do with my feet? I'm
too busy to be handsome"
Il suppose you are too busy to be
halthy, too" replied the physical di-
rector. yet it is a fact that nearly
al of the headaches you have are due
to the way you walk
This incident is typical of the cam
paign for walking which is now being
carried on by physicians and physical
culture experts here. 1t is absolutely
the latest thing in preventive medicine.
Correct posture and walking are not
only being dinned insistently into
school children, but adults, who never
realized that there was anything to
be desired in their methods of walk
ing, are being given directions for re-
form. When you go to a doctor here
now, one of the first things he does
is to look at your feet, and along
with your medical prescription there
is apt to be another to be filled at the
shoe store.
The two great impediments to cor
rect walking are the inadequately
shaped shoes, which have so long de-
lighted us, and the popular tradition
that it is better form to toe out. Men

The Sugar Substitute

= Malt syrup has been brought prominently to the
fore by the present sugar shortage Many people had
never heard of it before and they regard recent
another instance Of the provdenal tempering Of the
wind to the shorn lamb, and, in away it is and those
in need of sugar not the only shorn lambs as
shall hereafter deftly show.
But malt syrup is by means new. AS far back
as the spring Of 1915 many Arizonans began hear
OF It and heed 1t. 1t much into demand in not
only this but in all states that had recently gone
dry, and there was no sugar shortage then, either
The demand for malt syrup has steadily increased
one OF Arizona's chief imports.
The present discussion of malt syrup has resulted
the discovery that many citizens have been made
victims OF profiteering. They have been paying un-
questoningly and even cheerfully from 30 cents to
IS cents pound and they have learned recently
that II should in bulk from cents to cents a
pound.
Malt syrup is not intoxicating. Neither is New
Orleans moasses and are not many of the other
syrups which are admitted freely within our arid
Jurisdiction. Yet most well sweets
including sugar contain possibilities which many
Of our citizens have nurured into probabilities and
ripened into realities.
An inundation Of malt syrup substitute for
sugar. we fear, would lead TO a greater consumption
than normal. of saccharine matter, moro. perhaps
than would be good either for the physical body OF
the body polite, and would lead to a demand for an
sdditonal adornment of our prchitshongaw

How Bad Was She?

IF you could not tell everything in your past

This is question that's being warmly debated by
women folks in one of the great periodicals.
OF course. every must settle for herself just
how much of her record she should risk telling
There women with perfectly good records who
tanly wouldn't marry him should they tell everything
in their lives the that he'd be too aged and
decrepit to marry before they got through.
But, the question really implies that there is
decidedly weak spot in the woman's life, that might
cause her to conscentiously pass up the chance of
connubal bliss and the question is unfair and hardly
worth discussion without information to what the
sin was. Both women and men commit acts that
should bar marriage, but the woman guilty only of

will tell everything in his life, or who hasn't fair
assortment of weaknesses to repent If she does find

marrying him. Such one doesn't belong in marriage
but in heaven.

Mrs. L. B. Scruggs Of Kickapoo

her husband gave her a dollar.
This is an unusual sort of complaint,
we'll admit. Indeed it's the first time
we ever heard Ct a woman getting
angry because her husband gave her
a dollar.
But it SO happened that before Mr..
Scruggs handed the dollar to his bet
ter half he heated it red hot.
And instead of putting it in her
hand, as he should, he put it down her
back, burning scar on her neck.
The jury said a husband has-n right
to give red hot dollar to his wife,
finding Mr.. Scruggs guilty.
Oklahoma husbands hereafter will
take the dollar outside and let it cool
before turning it over to friend wife,
or they'll confine their wifely con-
tributions to paper money, checks and
credit at the store.
