paid by them for the past two and
half years.

the Service Citizens, this morning
retirement. When asked the reason
for the commissioners retirement,
Doctor Odell replied:
THE aim Of the Service Citizens is
to promote the welfare OF Delawa-e re
in every way. We employed Mr.
Wells to show the State what could
be accomplished by a man trained in
sanitation. He has done excellent
work. But the. Service Citizens can
not be expected TO maintain such an
office forever 1t was our cxpecta-
ton the State would see the value OF
such an official and assume the re-
sponsibility for his Office and salary"
DIR. Odell said that Mr. Wells
work in instituting and organizing a
system for collecting vital statistics
throughout the State was of much
worth and its value would be mo-e

with your toes turned far out. See inside of the foot, how the foot is f1attened to the floor?
 Then stand with your toes pointed straight ahead. The arch curves up. The weight is shared by the heel, the ball, and the outside of the foot
 That is just one contrast between ordinary shoes and Cantilever Shoes. Ordinary shoes, which twist the foot to point the toes out cause fallen arches because they throw all the weight on the inside of the arch its weakest point.
 The Cantilever Shoe is patterned from the outline of the foot The natural inner-sole line allows the toes to point straight ahead as they normally should. The weight is dis tributed so that no strain comes on the arch. They encourage correct posture and easy carriage.
 Cantilever Shoes permit the mus cles to exercise with perfect freedom The shank is flexible. It does not re- strict the movement of the muscles. but gives with the foot. In a Canti- lever Shoe the muscles surrounding the bones of the arch grow strong from use. Cantnlevers correct and prevent fallen arches by exercising the foot.
