WAR POWER IS
AGAIN INVOKED
Commission Men Ordered To Dis
continue Present Rates On
Live Stock.
INCREASE OBJECTED TO
Secretary OF Agriculture Takes Action
On Increased Commissions On
Live Stock-Is Empowered
To Regulate.

Washington-War powers created
under the Lever fuel and food control
act, have again been invoked by E. T..
Meredith, secretary of agriculture,
who ordered licensed commission men
at the principal live stock yards to
discontinue the schedule of increased
commission rates on live stock put into
effect August 2 last Commissions
are to remain the same as on July 1.
At the same time the secretary is
calling upon the secretaries of live
stock exchanges at stock yards where
| the Department of Agriculture has no
agent for schedules of commission
charges in effect at their respective
places. Any increases found in rates
at these stockyards will be ordered
| discontinued also
In the official announcement the de.
partment said:
1.-THE increases objected to by Secre-
tary Meredith ranged as high as rs
| per cent and included commission on
cattle, calves, hogs, sheep and goats
shipped in car lots by single owners
This action by the secretary is along
the line of that taken recently, when
he fixed commission rates to be charg-
ed at Chicago on car lot shipments OF
| live stock having more than one
owner.
"In 1918 and 1919, the bureau OF
markets of the Department of Agri-
culture investigated the live stock
commission business with view to
ascertaining whether or not the in
come from rates being charged at that
| time would justify conclusion that
rates were inviolation of the depart:
ment's regulations" declared an Off
cial of the department in discussing
| the order This information is the
principal data on which we based an
opinion at this time that the recent
| increase in rates is justified. Further
more, at least one other increase has
| taken place since our information was
secured and with which the depart
ment did not attempt to interfere"
| Under the food act, commission men
are required to take out federal licen
ses for doing business. The depart
ment is empowered to prescribe reg
ulations for their operation.

Commenting on the resolution and
the situation which gave rise to 1t,
Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of
the Legion, declared the case was
characteristic of the stand taken by
opponents of the measure generally
in various parts of the country.
'These enemies of the biH," he said
shave deliberately and repeatedly
garbled the truth even to the extent
of disseminating as facts statements
which they knew to be false. Every
intelligent American knows that the
sentiment Of ex-service men as q
whole is Overwhelmingly in favor of
adjusted compensation. They have
weighed the argument on both sides
and fully believe the measure to be
not only just and fair but consistent
with the welfare Of the country as
well. This has been repeatedly
proven and reported to congress fol-
lowing exhaustive canvasses in every
state under the direct supervision OF
members Of the Legion's national ex-
ecutive committee"

Lived Days in Sealed Box.

Joseph Barcroft, a reader of phy- siology at Kings college, England, has lived for six days in a dramatically sealed glass box. The experiment arose out of a 30-year-old controversy as to whether it is possible to calcu- late the amount of oxygen in the blood from a knowledge of the aEount or oxygen in the breath. The test was also made to demonstrate whether It was necessary that airmen should have oxygen apparatus when flying at great heights. It proved that oxygen was necessary to flying men. but 1t did not show to what height they could fly with safety. While In the box Barcroft kept a record of his sen sations and made scientific observa- tions. He said he suffered from sleep lessness, but otherwise did not experi- ence much inconvenience except on the last day, when the atmosphere became extremely raref1ed. He then had headaches and nausea.

WATCH YOUR FEET
important Matter Pertaining to
 General Health.
Experts Advise Walking "Indian Fash lon" in Preference to the "Toeing Out" Which Has Hitherto
 Been Considered Proper.

fshort Talks on Health, by the United States Public Health Service. Washing ton, D. O.
 WeIl-directed feet are now consider ed to be quite as important to general health as a well-poised head or an erect carriage. Few people seem to realize that, many troublesome ailments are caused by fiat or weak feet, and at- tribute the nervous depression, pain In the legs and back and general fatigue to some other cause, when the feet are really at fault, says tEe United States public he9lth service.
 Actual fiat foot is much less com mon than is ordinarily thought. on the other hand, "weak foot". is very common, and if not remedied gradual ly leads to flat foot.
 Recent investigations have estab- Hshed the fact that ''toeing out' in walking, or standing, puts an added strain on the arch of tEe feet. Instead of standing and walking with the feet forming an angle of about 45 degrees, as formerly advocated in military and athletic manuals, experts now advo- cate standing and walking with the toes pointed straight forward. This has been found to be of great assist ance in remedying weak and fiat feet, and constitutes what is known as walking "Indian fashion"
 "Toeing straight" should be prac- ticed for a little while, and 1t will come easy. Make two parallel lines on the floor, about six incEes apart, and walk | on them with the toe and heel touch 1 ing the outside of the line. Follow this 1 up with an exercise such as the fol- lowing: Stand with the feet parallel with about two inches between the feet, and rise on tEe toes, anywhere from 20 to 40 times each night and morning. In standing acquire the habit of placing the feet few inches apart, with the same distance betweer heels and toes. Keep the body weight equally supported on both feet.
 Do not make the mistake of believ ing that fat feet can be cured by thu shoemaker, or by tEe ordinary arci that is sold in shoe stores. The con
 dition is one that should be treated b. an experienced physician when it fail
 to respond to the measures outlined
 above.
 It is comparatively easy to remed
 a tendency to weak or flat feet in chll
 dren by teaching them the prope
 walking and standing posture. Par
 ents would do we'll to teach their chi } dren to walk Indian fasEfon.
