Then Forget Your Feet

| Feet can be, forgotten if they are
so perfectly fitted at. every point
| that there is.tnot the, slightest dis
comfort anywhere.
This is as it should be. There is
TO reason why you should be more
conscious of your feet than of any
other part of your body. When you
! wear the right shoes you are not
conscious of them. You can give
your whole attention to the tasks
at hand, whether in the home, the
office, or wherever your interests
take you. You can take part in
social activities with the utmost
comfort. You can enjoy your pleas
ures to your full capacity.
Happiness in Comfort
A great many women in this city
have decided that the right shoe for
them is the Cantilever Shoe. They
have chosen it because of the added
happiness it has brought into their
lives through foot comfort.
/, One reason why Cantilever Shoes
are so comfortable is because they
are made with an arch that is like
the arch of your own foot-hexible.
1t harmonizes with every step
f1exes when Nature requires it to do
so. All ordinary shoes have stiff
piece of steel in the arch which pre-
vents the free and natural move
ment of the muscles.
Look. and Feel Better
| ,gCantilevers give snug support yet
perfect freedom to- every part of
the foot structure. This foot. free
!: dom means improved circulation.
And improved circulation means
better health, increased endurance,
: better spirits, better looks, more
charm, greater happiness.
Cantilever Shoes have the modish
rounded toe and the comfortable
heel that are now so popular.

Hardin Not Wicked
Only Vain City

Hardin, Oct 5--(A. p. by MaiD-
This city, reputed to be the last out
post of sin. open and unabashed. has
been found to be less wicked than
supposed.
Those morally atrocious but some
times alluring forms of amusement
that have given to the world the
phrase, "demi- monde," and long since
found to have abandoned their ira
ditional haunts in Paris. Vienna, Ha-
vana and Buenos Aires, were sup
posed to have found refuge in Har-
bin.
Even Shanghai, known as a mans
town and a port which rumor has por-
trayed as a city of lotus and poppy
where people do as they please, had
been given second place to Hardin In
the matter of immoral doings. The
truth is. neither Shanghai nor Hardin
resemble Babylon to any great de-
gree. In Shanghai the public is all
worked up over the question:: Can a
cabaret girl be good? In Hardin the
problem is to get cabaret girls.
Hardin Is a young and foreign
town. 1t is Russian rather than
Chinese. 1t is a mixture of village
and metropolis; of crudness and ele-
gance and of gaudy gaiety and of
those sturder pursuits common to
the Wolfvilles and Main Streets Of
every country. There is no drainage
and in wet weather horses lunge
through the water dragging droshkies
up to the axles. The principal &C.
cupation of the shopkeepers here
seems to be sitting down.
There are many women and girls
from the grottos of Moscow and Pet
rograd and from nearer cities who
are here to amuse and, be amused.
but above all to get in this wild. new
place livelihood or perhaps small
fortune which some day they hope to
take back to relatives. But there are
plenty of good women. too. The fresh
rudy faces OF women lately peasants
or the daughters of peasants abound.
And like the women of all new towns
who have menfolk and children to
care for they work hard.

The officers of the Cumberland
County Public Health associati on
met with delegates represent
ing nearly every group and or
ganization in the city. Nov IA. at a
luncheon meeting at the Congress
Square hotel.
A report was read outlining the
activities of the county public health
nurse, Miss Price. The report stated
given health inspections, $40 had been
found defective; III were over
weight; POI underweiCht; $50 had
bad teeth; 160 defective vision, 80
defective hearing and 312 diseased
tonsils.
Mrs. E. I. Pickard, vice president
of the Cumberland County Public
Health Association spoke in detail of
the early beginnings of the work
three years ago-of the difficulties
and obstacles which had been sur
mounted Mrs. Pickard pointed out
that health work under the Maine
Public Health Association was the
only arrangement by which, all the
little towns working together, nursing
service could be given each one, who
otherwise could not afford to finance
a.. nurse for themselves. 1t was
pointed out that this pool of funds
was accomplished through the sale
of Christmas seals in each town
throughout the county,, and that the
work accomplished had not covered
public health nursing alone. but all OF
the other health activities, which
have covered the county, through the
parent organization, the Maine Pub
lie Health Association.

resume of the activities included in

applied to Cumberland county. she
drew attention to the fact that all or
the work which the county assocla-
ton had carried on was done with 6O
per cent of the seal sale funds which
are kept in the county treasury Tor
work in the county. This, she said.
covered the work of the public health
nurse and her work among the homes
of our county. Thousands of children
have been examined in schools
where health examinations had never
been conducted before. Eye glasses
have been procured sree for poor
children needing them; dental work
has been arranged for; bone deformi-
ties corrected; tonsil operations pro-
vided for; health talks: personal calls
in the homes; following the neglect
ed child into the home in an effort
to effect a remedy: all Of this has
been done through the sale of Christ
