HEALTH ADVICE


Shoes are designed to protect the
| foot, not to support it. Most people
wear shoes toe tight; nearly all
women do. Too loose a shoe is bet
ter than too tight a one, but -.
nevertheless, undesirable.
The shoe should provide room
| enoug for the toes to work. and
| should be so shaped as to permit
the foot to work without distortion.
The best shoe is one which is
| straight or practically straight on
the inside line, thus avoiding the
twisting out of the great toe SO
common in usual shoes. II should
be long enough to clear the toes,
and at about the heel. over the In
| step. and under the shank closely
| enough so that it will not slip in
walking. Actual support by the
| shank underneath Is not needed by
| the normal foot. but many people
are happier with it, and a shank
curved up to give a little hit does
no harm. =,
High-heeled shoes are clumsy and
undesirable things to walk In, give
a bad posture, and make corns. but
in themselves they do not cause nat
foot. II one is used to high heels,
IL Is unwise to change abruptly.
SOleS 9nOulQ De SOiiu.
The very light soles OF many
women's shoes are responsible for
the concave sole that gives interior
| arch trouble, and are, at best. an
insufficient protection to the foot.
The pest type of shoe Is one con-
| structed somewhat along the lines
| of the army last. Men can get such
| shoes easily; for women 1t Is less
easy.
The orthopedic shoe, while thee.
| retically good, Is not the practical
| choice, for few women Will veal
| such a shoe. Some houses carry
modified orthopedic" or plastic"
| or "common-sense" lasts, which are
| excellent, but the important thing
is not what 1t Is called, but whether
it meets the following specifications;
Straight inner line.
2-Suficient length.
3-Suficient room for toe
"A proper ft at heel and instep.
5-Not too high Or too narrow a
heel.

Lung Trouble
@. I am engaged to a girl twenty
two years of age. About three
months ago she told me she was
splitting blood. She went to a doc
tor and he said 1t came from her
lungs. Now would you advise me
to marry her? Do you think she
has consumption? Is there any hope
for a person that spits blood from
the lungs?
A. It would be advisable to find
u exactly the nature of the lung
trouble. If the girl Is suffering from
tuberculosis. she should certainly
not marry for some time to come;
certainly not until the lungs have
entirely healed. 1t would be well
to make certain. however. that the
blood really comes from the lungs
for sometimes blood in sputum
comes from other sources. for ex-
ample, from an ulcerous nasal mu-
cous membrane.

THE NEW

When Bolshevism falls in Russia,
one of four transition periods will
follow. The Soviet system may be
overthrown and still leave Lenin,
ITrotsky and their chief subordinates
in power II the Soviet leaders be-
come convinced the tide Is running
overwhelmingly against them. they
may invite the anti-Bolsheviki into
the government to form a coalition
ministry. This would be orderly
evolution.
II the Bolsheviki are expelled from
power, progressive. orderly develop
ment would still result IL the opposi-
ton parties could Immediately take
over the government. To do this, the
revolution would have to be a care
fully organized affair.
II Bolshevism falls because Of a
sudden evaporation Of the %populace.
driven to unbearable frenzy through
Soviet incompetence, a state Of COM
plete anarchy may follow with ex-
cesses more evil than those Of the
French Revolution.
Should the overthrow of the Boil
sheviki result from sheer inanition,
government would cease to operate
nationally and would become strict
ly local. Russia would become a vast
series of village. town and city ad-
m~inistrations. each doing as 1t liked.
Eventually, however. whether an
archy reigns for a time or national
government vanishes. Russia will
find herself. A great democracy is
destined to occupy that part Of the
earth. What Immediately follows
Bolshevism will be only a stage In
the evolutionary process.

CENTS AND MINUTES
By Roger w. Babson.

Mary has no idea Of time.
She often fails to keep her en-
gagements and is always late.
She doesn't know how to work
because she has v learned to
plan her time, giving sc much
time to each task.
She tries to help everyone and
do everything, but finishes noths
ing.
II she would only learn to
budget her time, she could ccom
plish much more.
Betty saves the minutes.
She plans beforehand what she
Is going to do, and then sticks to
her plans.
She does one thing at a time
and does 1t well; then Is ready
for the next thing that comes her
way.
The consequence is that she has
much more spare time than most
girls; not only that but she has
the satisfaction of feeling that
each of her tasks has been we'll
done.
She concentrates her thought
on her work until 1t is done.
Betty has leavned to economic
time.
We often ave money cent by
cent.
The way to save time is minute
by minute.
One of the best ways to do this
is to do n thing at q time, and
do it we'll before fitting to some
thing else.

DAILY HOROSCOPE

1HuJSu0ys ONtODCI so 1OSO
copyright, 1920, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate
Jupiter and Saturn rule strongly
for good today, according to a%strol-
ogy, thus dominating, the evil power
Of Neptune.
The planetary government is most
favorable to men in high positions
and the aged should benefit by the
aspect.
It is a rule under which "all who
wear the robes Of authority" may
hope to prosper. Priests and judges
should push their best interest dur
ing this sway of the stars.
There is a forecast that a high
dignitary of the clergy will receive
a great political honor.
This is an important day for all
who hold executive Offices. They
should meet with success in what
ever they undertake while the stars
are posted as they are during this
configuration.
Disturbed mental conditions may
be a sign of this period, for Neptune
is in an aspect that seems to pre-
sage morbid ideas and unsopnd
opinions about the life.
Warning is given hat the new
moon on November 10 brings most
sinister prophesies for Great Bri-
tain, for naval operations ma large
scale are indicated.
The seers declare that there will
be a lasting world pact for peace,
but not until blood has flowed again
as in rivers will it be fully and ef-
fective.
Geniuses of many sorts are to be
| recognized in the United States
| within the next few years. it is pre-
dicted, for the stars forecast the de-
| velopment of extraordinary men
talities.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the augury of a year in which busi-
ness and professional success may
be expected. Litigation of any sort
will be unfortunate, however.
Children born on this day will
probably be extremely level-headec
and persevering. Rapid success
seems to be indicated for them.

BUSY, he's checking UP the dead. run
down by truck or lizzie OF auto
painted red. The coroner is weary,
he tolls by day and night; his task
IS sad and dreary, and there's no
end In sight. The village cops are
chasing the fiends Ger hill and dale,
and after bitter racing they put a
few in Jail. And then they're fined
so lightly they think 1t all a joke,
and leave the courtroom brightly.
and make their autos smoke.
Through highways residential.
through trafic's busy marts, with
ardor residential they run their
deadly carts. They wing the fleeing
baker. they MAIN the frightened

in his grewsome work. The doc

victims yelp, the coroner's disgust

still the crazy motors go rushing

VOTE EARLY.

With the election less than a week
off it cannot be urged upon the
voters to strongly 10 cast their ballot
as early as possible next Tuesday.
With the number Of voters nearly
double this year and in a presiden-
tial year besides, the voting is going
to be the heaviest ever experienced.
The greatest congestion has always
been after s o'clock in the afternoon.
The polls close at Z o'clock and as
we will be back on standard time
next week, Z o'clock means z O'Clock
not an hour later or an hour
earlier.
1t is respectfully urged that the
women particularly. vote as early in
the day as possible. Make 1t a point
to go to the polls sometime between
breakfast and dinner. Or. II that Is
not convenient go right after din
tner. At least, have 1t over with be-
fore s O'Clock 70 as to give the men
who are employed in the various in
ldustries and who cannot get off DUR
in the day, a chance.
The polls will be open at 6 o'clock
Tuesday morning, Election Day. The
men who will have to work all day
should endeavor to get an early start
for work that morning and vote be-
fore they go to the factory.
Everything possible ought to be
done to assist the election officers
who are going to have a big job on
their hands. 1t takes time to cast
a ballot these days. The ballot this
year is an enormous affair being as
large as a page Of a newspaper.
Separate KS have to be placed OPP
posite the name Of each candidate
voted for. and there r many offices
to I'LL. Before receiving the ballot.
however, the voter has to sign the
poll book that the writing may be
compared with the signature at the
time of registration SO as to identify
the voter and prevent fraud.
Naturally, If many people wait un-
til the last hour or two of the day
to do all this some are going to set
left as the voting must cease at 7
o'clock.
Make sure, then, and vote early.

CORRECTING THE COVENANT.

Leon Bourgeois. president of the
council of the League of Nations. de-
clares that Article Y. could be elimin-
ated without modifying the effective
ness of the League of Nations. 1t Is,
he says scarcely more than the
moral background" All penalties
provided to make the league effec-
tive are in other articles. The view
Is contrary to the plea of President
Wilson that Article X. Is the heart
of the covenant. But 1t serves to
confirm the belief of many that the
only way to correct the mistakes of
the covenant is to reject 1t and frame
q new association of the nations
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
It was the belief of many in the
early days of this republic, that the
only way to correct the mistakes In
our present constitution was to re-
feet the whole document and frame
another. After just such a bitter
Eight as we are now having over the
covenant Of the League of Nations,
wiser counsel prevailed and the con
stitution was finally ratified by the
several states. At the very first ses-
sion Of the congress. however. ten
amendments were adopted to satisfy
the demands of the DIRECTORS, and
we have been adding amendments
ever since. No n for a moment
thinks of rejecting the whole con-
stitution because some clauses in II
does not suit them. The constitution
as It was written in the beginning
with the amendments thereto. has
been referred to by some OF the
worlds greatest statesmen as the
greatest document eve drawn up by
the hand of man.
Having adopted a constitution over
100 years ago that so successfully
bound what was then thirteen widely
separated, jealous and quarrelins
states together. surely we ought tC
be ready by this time to take an
other step forward by adopting Z
covenant thai tends TO BIND the ma
tons Of the world together-espec
tally when the covenant can b.
amended just as our constitution hai
been amended from time TO time Il

1t will be found 100 years hene
that the covenant of the League o
Nations. with the amendments tina
are bound to be adopted in tn
meantime. will be looked upon a
just as great a document for mar
Kind as our own constitution is to
day. ANY talk of rejecting the Who'll

Stock Statesmen Are Arrested and
Must Stand Trial Soon.

Bentley and F. II. Wood were ar
rested last week and have since
placed appearance bonds and are at
liberty again pending TRIAL. They
were indicted by the grand jury at
curing money by false pretense, and
similar charges, which are alleged
to have been perpetrated by these
two men while engaged in the sale
of stock in the Associated Packing
Company. of Des Moines. The bonds
were placed at $4,000 each:
This company, as is well known,
Stock in this company was sold to
prominent Wayne county people IN
the aggregate sum OF hundred
thousand dollars.
Bentley and Wood were operating
in Wayne county almost continuous
ly for a period of several weeks. 1t
is claimed that they received fifteen
sale of stock and that ten per cent
went to the officers of the company
as promotion expense.
One of these men was arrested at
Iowa Falls and the other at Moulton.
They had not been heard from for
some time previous as it was known
that the grand jury was investlgat-
They were able to give bonds and
departed Immediately. Attorney

office was here when the grand jury
made the indictments and he. COM
plimented County, Attorney, w. H.

The trial of these two men will
come up probably at the June or
August term of court. There is no
jury regularly summoned for the
June term but one can be called
with little difficulty if it should be
found that there was no objection to
a trial at this time.
