sick OF tired feet can put you
out of harmony with life writes
Doris Docher in the New York e.
ening Worlo. The same paper
quotes DR.. ElinOr Van Buskirk Of
New York as follows:
The woman who wears cramp-
ed shoe is bound to have cramped
disposition. She cant help being
irritable, critical and quick temp
cred. She doesn't make q good pal
a good wife or q good business Wo-
man.
81 would be willing to wager that
half the so-called lovers quarre.s
are from the girl wearing tight
shoes. And as to the nagglng VIE
well, it is usually the tight sDOs
which causes her quick. ugly re-
marks. And many a business glIl
thinks she has the meauest boss Oh
earth when it's her own stlngIns'
burning feet she hates.
Besides the irritable disposition
which tight shoes cause, there ma!
be physical injury. A lign
heel throws the balance el
the body forward and the STRAIN
comes on the lower part OF the sP-
nal column. a great center OF the
nerves. Backaches, headaches
even rheumatism and sciatica, are
often caused by shoes. A woman
can wear any kind Of tight clot1lns
and forget it," concluded Dr. va.
Buskirk, but she can't wear tiglI
shoes and keep smiling

there was absolutely no excuse,

HARD TO IMPOSE
STRICT RULE IN
FAMINE AREAS

Lubimovka, Tartar Republic
(By the Associated Press. )-Ameri-
can workers who are administer
ing relief to children in Russian
famine areas find it extremely try
ing to live up to selective plan of
feeding in villages where practi-
cally all the inhabitants are in dire
need of food.
BY requiring the children to eat
their meals in relief kitchens. the
workers insure against the deliy-
cry OF food to persons who have
not been passed upon by examining
physicians. But the children make
many pathetic attempts to dodge
the regulations.
One little girl in the kitchen here
ate only part of her bowl of rice.
milk and sugar and asked permits
sion to take the remainder of her
rice and her white roll home to her
father, who was i'll with the typhus.
1T is really more than l care
for. / am not used to having so
much at once" the child pleaded.
The case was Investigated and
workers arranged an allowance of
food for the sick man, as the relief
work may also be extended to in
valids.
In families where one child is
recommended for feeding by the
doctors, while brothers and sisters
are not given foodcards, it is not
unusual for the fortunate one to
take the others along to the kitch-
en- and carry out to them q portion
of the ration. The self-sacrificing
spirit OF the little boys and girls
makes it doubly hard for relief
workers.

'TUMOR ORIGIN
DISCUSSED AT
MURDER trial
Chicago Physician ON Witness
Stand Take Testimony Of
Albert Mueller.

Three theories said to be accept
ed generally by the medical profess
sion on the creation and formation
OF tumors, were declared by DR..
James b. Simonds of Chicago. a
witness in the trial of John A. and
william Weaver for murder of
Harry Mueller, yesterday afternoon.
DIR. Simonds made the pathology
cal examination of Mueller's brain
He was summoned by the state as
an expert witness. The state is
endeavoring to prove that Mueller's
death was due to tumor resulting
from blows and kicks administered
by the Weaver brothers.
The Chicago physician gave the
theories in the order of their i'm
portance as, embryonic, hereditary
and injury. The embryonic theory
is based on the supposition that an
undeveloped portion of the brain
may become a tumor, he said. The
hereditary theory attributes the
cause to inheritance, and the last
10 the theory that an injury can be
responsible.
Objections to the doctor giving
his opinion of the possible cause of
Mueler's tumor, based on a hypo-
thetical question, were sustained.
The doctor was not cross-exam-
ined
Albert Mueller, brother of Harry
Mueller's tumor, based on a hypo-
practically all the morning ses-
sion. In direct examination the
state concerned itself with ques-
tons relating to health of Harry
Mueller preceding the trouble with
the Viewers in January, 1921, and
his manner of failing thereafter to
the time of his death in July, 1921.
The witness said his brother was
in good physical condition be-
fore the fight. He said Harrys
strength gradually ebbed following
the beating and that he was subse-
quently forced to his bed and later
ordered to a hospital for an opera
ton.
Mueller's testimony was inter-
rupted frequently by arguments of
lawyers. On Cross-examination c.
Z. Dietz, counsel for the defendants,
questioned the witness relative to
his activity in obtaining testimony
in the case.
Mueller admitted. in reply to in
curry, that he had employed John
Looney to certain extent to en-
gage in the prosecution. He denied
he engaged him to write an article
against the defendants for the Rock
Island News, asserting he did not
know Looney was going to do it.
He said he had read the article.
Mueller replied in the negative
TO question as to whether or not
Looney is still employed in thej
case. He also answered mo to a
question as to whether or not he
knew Looney had insisted upon
taking part in the trial.
