Flat Feet Treatment Successful

War experiences have changed our
views about flat feet. 1t was at one
time assumed that individuals so af-
flieted were destined to lead sedentai.y
lives, and that they We're disqualified
from partaking in vocations requiring
the constant use of the feet, such as
military service. This erroneous idea
is still universal in Europe and to a
large extent in America 1t is in
weak feet that the bones of the arch
drop to the ground, the muscles and
ligaments being SO weak and tlabby
that they cannot hold up the arch
bones After a series of treatments
in the most chronic cases, the pro-
lapsed bones will gradually rise until
they reach their normal height.

PARODIES ALWAYS IN ORDER
Omar khayyam and the Ever-Delight-
full Pepys Have by No Means Elk
hausted the List.

Does your memory go back to the
time when everyone was writing par
odies Of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khay-
yam? When it was considered very
literary to know all about Omar, and
when all the writer's, both would-be
and professional, were reducing the
hypnotic quatrains to modern terms?
The newspapers were full Of "Omars
Up-to-date," and quite lot of them
got into the magazines before the craze
died down.
After that parodists sought other
inspiration, but found no material that
suited them quite so well, until few
years ago, one of them CHANGED on the
Diary of Samuel Pepys. What rich
vein. The parodists went mad over
it, and have been digging there ever
since. Almost anybody can fill up
column with chronicles in the Pepys
style, While the clever writer, by this
means can make himself entertaining.
Some other original genius will soon
take the place of Mr.. Pepys in the re-
gard of the copyists, for the popular
ity of the creative masters Of litera-
ture is more or less changeful, de-
pendent upon time or circumstances,
