I am the mother of four adoles-

IMPROVING cHILDREN's FEET

There are few things lovelier than
a babys feet. But very shortly after
shoes are worn the feet change, and
the adult who can boast Of faultless
and unblemished feet is in the mi
noritv. Lately we have taken de-
cidedly more of an interest in feet
they have become something more
than deformities to be hidden in
shoes. We have let them out, so to
speak, found how tremendously
much more comfortable and good
looking feet can be in shoes that are
large enough and conform to the
shape Of the foot instead of the other
way around.
The time to start conserving foot
health is with the tiny baby. Even
too tiny to think of shoes. -he bones
are so soft and pliable that blank
cts which hang heavily or bind them
are sufficient to change their shape.
Put roll of newspapers at the foot
OF the baby's bed, or a roll of blank
ct and let the coverings hang on it
instead Of on the tiny feet.
Encourage the baby to walk bare
footed, watching how he grips his
tiny toes and then keep this in mind
when buying shoes, allowing them
TO be large enough and soft enough
SO that he still is able to grip"
Children whose ankles have a ten
dency to bow in toward each other
should have the soles made slightly
thick on the inner side so that they
will have to walk more pideon-toed
and therefore do away with this bad
and dangerous habit. Toeing out is

Increase in Number Of
Wolves is Imaginary
WOLVES NOT MORE NUMEROUS
COVER LARGER TERRITORY
SAYS TRAPPER

The general impression prevails
that wolves have increased to a great
extent during the past few years, and
last week the Ashland Rod and Gun
club went on record as favoring an
appropriation for the hiring of an ex
pert wolf trapper as the wolves are
getting more numerous each year and
kill more deer and wild game than the
hunters do. 1t was also decided that
the club officials go before the county
board and try to get the members to
double the bounty on wolves.
H. A Scotford who is trapping in
the heart of the wolf territory scouts
the assertion of the great increase in
the number of wolves. He states that
while there may be few more than
in past years, there has been no alarm
ing increase, but that with the open
ing up of the country through the re-
moval of large bodies of timber, and
with light fall of snow, the animals
are covering vast tracts of territory,
where formerly they stayed in one
neighborhood.
It is his experience to have caught
two wolves of one pack that originally
had about seven wolves in the neigh.
borhood of Clam Lake. Another pack
of about fifteen wolves traverse the
Clam Lake region about once in two
weeks. This pack evidently gives the
impression of the great number of
wolves that abound. Their tracks are
seen in the vicinity of Cayuga one day,
in the Clam Lake region the next, and
several days later near Winter, and
consequently the woods are full of
wolves.
It is his opinion, that several packs
of this nature, by being seen in many
neighborhoods, would give rise to the
erroneous idea of the numerical in
crease in these animals. Tele-
