WiVe5' Work.

Neither Mr. Hamlin nor Squire Hea-
ton is noted as q worker but their
wives are very Industrious, and moth
ing gives either gentleman more pleas
ure than to boast of the wonderful
things that his wife accomplishes.
II don't know what the Red Cross
would have done without my wife,"
said Mr.. Hamlin one day. "She knit
twenty-five sweaters, seventy-four
pairs of socks and one hundred and
fifteen wristlets."
That's not a bad record" admit
ted the squire. "In fact l call 1t q
real good record for an average knit
ter. Now, don't know how many ar
ticles my wife turned out for the Red
Cross she didn't count them. She
started to count them, but when she
had knit several hundred articles of
every kind she said counting tired her,
and she quit After that she esti-
mated her output by needles"
"By needles? What do you mean
by needless" asked Mr.. Hamlin, a lit
tie hufily.
81 medh the needles my wife wore
out" explained the squire. "She wore
out three sets of needles knitting for
the Red Cross; and the fourth set
was so near wore out when the war
ended that they wasn't no thicker

WATCH YOUR FEET
important Matter Pertaining to
General Health.
Experts Advise Walking ~ndian FASH
Ion" in Preference to the "Toeina
Out" Which Has Hitherto
Been Considered Proper,

(short Talks on Health, by the Urtea
states Public Health Service. Washing
ton, p. O.
Well-directed feet are now consider
ed to be quite as important to general
health as a weIl-poised head or an erect
carriage. Few people seem to realize
that many troublesome ailments are
caused by fiat or weak feet, and Mt
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 TIE United States
public health 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 fiat foot.
Recent Investigations have estab.
lished the fact that "toeing out" in
walking, or standing, puts an added
strain on the arch of TIE feet. Instead
of standing and walking with the feet
forming an angle Of about As 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 20 be of great assist
ance in remedying weak and flat feet,
and constitutes what is known as
walking Indian fashion"
"Toeing straight" should be prac-
ticed for a littleNvhile, and it will come
easy. Make two parallel lines on the
floor, about six incEes apart, and walk
on them with the toe and heel touch
ing the outside of the line. Follow this
up with an exercise such as the fol-
lowing: Stand with the feet parallel.
with about two inches between the
feet, and rise on tle toes anywhere
from 20 to 40 times each night and
morning. In standing acquire the
habit of placing the feet a few inches
apart, with the same distance between
heels and toes. Keep the body weight
equally supported on both feet
Do not make the mistake of believ-
ing that fiat feet can be cured by the
shoemaker, or by TIE ordinary arch
that is sold in shoe stores. The con-
dition is one that should be treated by
an experienced physician when it fails
to respond to the measures outlined
above.
1t is comparatively easy to remedy
n tendency to weak or fiat feet in chill
dren by teaching them the proper
walking and standing posture. Par
ents would do well to teach their chill
dren to walk Indian fashion.

Convention

Local Man to Represent
District at National
Meeting
By Special Correspondent

TWIN FALLS, Ida.-Idaho's de-
partment of the American Legior
concluded successful three day
convention here Friday night with
the election of Leo F. Bracken oi
Twin Falls as department com.
mander. The election of Bracken
was one of the most surprising
things of the convention, his name
not having been mentioned as a pos
sible candidate until the last day OF
the convention.
The convention considered many
questions during the three days
meeting, but the membership was
not in a resolving attitude, the de-
mand for action rather than words.
Resolutions were prepared by H. G..
Knight of Blackfoot on the socialis-
tic questions, other similar resolu-
tions were offered by others and
presented to the resolutions COM
mittee, but were recommended un-
favorably by the committee. This
was sustained by the convention, it
being decided almost unanimously
that the mention of any political
party, such as the Socialists, the
Non-partisian league or others
would be in violation of the con-
stitution of the legion which pro-
hibits any discussion of partisan
politics.
A new constitution was adopted in
I,hich the executive committee was
reduced to five members, the COM
mander and four vice-commanders
Two of the vice commanders are
from the first judicial district and
two from the second. Virgil Samms
of Pocatello and G. H. Dawson of
Montpelier represent the southeast
while ]. c. Evenden of Occur d'Alene
and M. H. Gibbons of Caldwell
represent their respective sections.
M. F. Albert of Payette was Sc
lected as adjutant-finance officer by
Bracken. He will re-
move to Twin Falls and this place
will be the headquarters for the
Idaho department during the coming
year.
The next state convention will go

light by the southeast in behalf of
IDAHO Falls. 1t was this scrap that
'esulted in the election of Leo
Bracken. Reports that the north

nent with those of the southwest to
support Worthwine of Boise for
commander in exchange of support
or Kellogg led to caucus of the
delegates from the southeast. After
much discussion the name of

Miss Frances Carlson was the
charming hostess to twenty young
lady guests at the home of Mrs. j.
w. Beachy ON South Fisher avenue,
Saturday evening, the occasion being
to honor her sister, Miss Nicola, a
bride of the coming summer.
The evening opened with q
cleverly planned woodworking with
Mrs. Beachy as the bride and Bessie
Vandervort as the gallant groom,
while Mary Lu Capps officiated in a
most realistic manner.
A dainty luncheon was served
later from q table beautiful in a
color scheme of pink and white, with
a center piece of pink and white
and coiled streamers from
the chandelier to the place cards.

The new Bills garage is designed
to be one of the big modern gar

the best of it's kind. The Boyle

"The outlaw" railroad strike re.

joining the strikers Sunday and fol.
lowing the regular daily conference
OF the subcommittee of the general

Drastic curtailment of passenger
train service will be made if neces-
sary in order that milk and perish

foodstuffs are speeding eastward

trail wartime specials" according
to officials of the New York Central
this afternoon.
The situation in the intermoun-
tain country remains unchanged.
Officials at Salt Lake are planning
on manning trains sufficiently to
supply that city with food and other
necessities if the switchmen con-
tinue to remain out. No freight is
being handled in Pocatello, altho
this morning an OUTLAW train CON-
sisting of fifteen cars of hay went
thru that city headed for Montana
The train passed thru Blackfoot this
morning and caused a number of
residents to believe that the strike
had been broken.
There has been considerable ap-
prehension concerning a curtailment
of gasoline by dealers thruout this
territory on account of the freight
embargo and a rumor was in effect
Saturday that Pocatello was selling
gas only to trucks and commercial
vehicles. An investigation by H. B.
Daniels of this city proved the rumor
TO be unfounded. Mr.. Daniels found
hat there was in the neigh hborhood
Of 100000 gallons of gasoline avail
able for this district and that there
was no danger of famine in fuel
or motor cars.
An investigation of the fuel and
'ood supply in Blackfoot shows that
his city can Withstand a siege of
some time without any discomfort.
Coal yards are we'll stocked and the
stores are in possession of a suffi-
'ient quantity of foodstuffs to handle
almost any emergency should the

In opposing it Mr.. Gambrill said nat

He then charged that Mr.. Weller

declared that while Mr.. Weller mot

to the dry leaders that in 1919 he
had organized the House in their
favor.
Confirms Gambrill Statement
Have you read the account of Mr..
Gambrill's speech?" superintendent
Crabbe was asked.
Yes, l noted what Mr.. Gamhrill
said," replied Dr. Crabbe.
Was it true?"
Yes" said DR.. Crabbe, Mr.. Gam
brill had the facts. What he stated
was correct"
The Federal Prohibition Amend
ment was submitted to the Maryland
Legislature in the session of 1918.
In that session, for the first time
since 1898, the Republicans had con-
troll of the House of Delegates. They
barely missed controlling the State
Senate. Having control of the
House, they elected, the Speaker and
he named the committees, so that
they had the machinery of the body.
Mr.. Weller, acting for the Weller
jackson organization, directed the
plans for the organization of the
House and for subsequent election of
William p. Jackson as State Treas
urer.
Speaker Openly Dry
His candidate for Speaker was
Herbert r. Wooden, of Carroll coun
ty. Mr. Wooden had served several
terms in the House and alway had
voted with the dry element. He was
an open and avowed prohibitionist.
There was some opposition to him at
first from the Goldsborough wing of
the Republican party, but the Weller
Jackson people were in control, and
succeeded without serious difficulty
il making him the party choice for
the Speakership, and of course, he
was elected in due order.
