DO YOUR TOES SPREAD OUT?
Mary E. 6ayley, r. NJ, Tells What,
in an Experts Opinion, the
Feet Should Be Like.

Does the great toe of your foot Cor
the big toes of both feet) continue in
straight line from the heel? And
do your other toes spread apart? If
this condition exists you have good
understanding feet, according to Mary
E. Bayley, r. n, who tells in the De-
lineator what feet should be like. Her
article has been approved by DR.. Virgil
z. Gibney, surgeon in chief of the Hos
pital for the Relief of the Ruptured
and Crippled, New York, and there
fore bears the stamp of authority.
Too much care cannot be taken of
the feet Miss Bayley continues. as
they are the keystone to correct Body
position and have much to do with
ones health. Particular attention
Should be paid to shoe fitting between
the ages of nine and fourteen, since
this is the period Of growth and ex-
panSiOn. Stockings, too, come III for
discussion, as tight-titting ones COM
press the toes and interfere with the
circulation.

HIS HEART IN RIGHT PLACE
Circus Tentman Evidently Remem-
bered That He Had Once Been
Small Boy.

A little hoy bobbed his head around
a wagon where the circus-train was
unloading.
"Please, sir" he said to a tentman
in Overalls, "please, have you got any
elephants to water?'
The tent-man shook his head. 1t
seems elephants are watered by ma
chinery or something these days. At
least there's no earning ones way in
by way of the water-buCket.
The little boy was Sinking off for
lOrnly when the tent-man turned
around.
Here" he grunted, "hOld this for
awhile" and he stuck a rope into his
hand without apparently seeing that
the little boys chin had stopped wag-
CLING.
But he found other things to be
done, chairs to be lugged, and such.
And an ecstatic little boy that sat
on the front row that afternoon with
an awestruck eye, winked at the tent.

Mr.. Bowser had been walking the
floor OF a sudden he halted, as If
struck by an idea, and he said:

Mr.. BOwser reached for the parcel
and opened it. There were a pair Of
shoes brought to light, but as he
looked at them a terrible frown came
to his face and he almost shouted
out:
"Shoes Shoes, Nv shoes! These
are not my shoes! They are shoes
belonging to some mOrtar-miXer and
there is plaster on them! My shoes
are number seven, while these are
certainly number ten. Who took these

"Why. I did. A sboy brought them
and said they were your shoes, and

"There Is no of course about it !

that you have no interest in your hus-
hands welfare. 1t was your plain
duty, as my wife, to make the boy sit

self that they were mine"
"But the boy said they were yours
persisted Mrs. Bowser.
But what if he did say so! !" shouted
Mr. Bowser. "You ought to know that
all boys lie. Here | am out a pair of
shoes, and the mortar-miXer will spoil
mine trying to pull them onto his big

"Mr. Bowser-"
"Not a word. Mrs. BowSer! 7 leave

And Mr. Bowser tramped, tramped
down the hall. and passed out into
the autumn night The moon lowered
over his head as he walked, and the
stars winked at him. but he walked
and walked and walked, and thought
only Of his shoes, and it was after
midnight before he sneaked back home
and crept softly into bed to dream how
he would murder the cobbler as soor
as he had eaten his breakfast in the
morning.

MR.. BOWSER'S
SENTIMENT
1t Comes and Goes Like a
Summer Shadow.
BY M. QUAD.
By M. QUAD.

(9. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.)
The fire f1ickered and danced on the
hearth.
The crickets were singing their
songs and getting ready for a joyous
winter.
The iceman had collected his last
bill and departed. He was full of hope
and cheer, for he had made 200 per
cent profit.
Outside the nightingale warbled his
song, but 1t was no cheap MARBLE. In
day or two he would present bill
Of $25.
The strikers were on a strike again,
and the police were patting them on
the back.
All seemed joyous at the home of
the Bowsers, but yet his eyes were
moist, as he turned to Mrs. BOwser
and said:
"My dear, saw sight this after
noon that called for all my senti
ment."
"Was it a sick horse" she asked.

her front teeth, and in addition to that

In a low, sweet voice. He had come

was that he could find no work at

The Truthful Witness

There was a little squabble down at
the boot camp and the next morning
three rockies were lined up in front
of the commanding officer. Two Of
the marines were principals in the fra
cas-, and the third was lone witness.
The C. o. drew a reluctant admission
from the two battlers that they had
exchanged a few blows, and he then
turned an inquiring eye on the wit
ness.
And were you there at the incep
ton of the altercation? asked the c.

there is cult in old things or in new

suits show that there Is still much to
learn in serving an invalids meal.
A normal person in health will be
able to overlook many eccentricities
of food, but the person who is i'll must
be fed the kind Of food to give
strength and not overtax the digestive
organs.
To make food tempting enough to be
eaten when it is not desired takes not
only skill in dainty preparation but
Gnesse in handling the patient.
The well-trained nurse has had in
her training the proper preparation and
serving of food, but often the over.
worked mother finds it necessary to
be both nurse, houseEeeper and cook,
so it is invaluable for her to know
how. The daintiness of the tray and
It's pretty china as we'll as the food
served upon it is Of first importance.
SpOtless linen or pretty paper dol
leys in case of contagious diseases,
should always be used; the small
sets made on purpose for tray with
pretty china, arranged for the con-
venience of the patient, with a flower
or two or a piece of bright fruit with
. it's foliage will make the meal a source
Of pleasure. The psychology of APP
pealing to the sense Of beauty in the
tray fittings Is not one that we should
slight.
Even paper dishes of all kinds may
be used in contagious diseases, thus
eliminating the risk as well as the
work Of caring for and sterilizlng
them.
After the invalid has passed the
LIQUID food stage there Is more OPP
portunity for one to express taste in
arranging the tray. The semi-solid
foods are custards jellies, cereals and
such foods. Cereals should be sub
1ected to long, slow cooking and in
many cases it Is better to strain them.
Perishable foods should never be
bought in large quantities beyond the
needs Of the family.
A little grated cheese added to the
milk toast to give the grownups makes
a most tasty dish.
