II was conceded generally that
la Toilette would not get the
electoral vote that was won by
Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 when he
ran second 10 Woodrow Wilson with
SIS votes in the electoral college, but
there was great interest in observ-
ing whether La Toilette would poll
the popular vote OF over 1000. 600
polled for Roosevelt in that cleo
ton.
Such wugers as were placed as the
actual voting began today were on
the number OF electoral votes each
candidate would get. Some money
was placed on ability TO name four
states that La Toilette would carry.
Those who ventured a risk on this
selected Wisconsin. North and South

favoring Nebraska and Montana as
among the possibilities.

Health Hints
By Bernarr Macfadden.

The standing position is a factor
Of great Importance in the cure and
prevention of fiat foot. The average
man stands with the heels more or
less together and the toes pointing
out, and it is unfortunate, to say the
least, that nearly all our physical di-
rectors-eyen those in the Army and
Navy - have invariably instructed
their pupils to stand with the feet at
an angle of forty-fve degrees. This
position throws the weight of the body
upon the ligaments and the inner side
of the foot, and is one of the surest
methods known of inducing fiat foot.
The feet, in standing, should be
placed parallel with one another,
affords a more solid base of support
for the body than the triangle formed
when the feet are placed at an angle,
and If the reader will try the expert
rnent of standing in this manner, he
will find that the weight of the body
is thereby automatically thrown upon
the outer edges of the feet, thus rails
ing the arches from the ground.
When the feet are parallel, more
over, it is possible, by slight changes
the body successfully on the bones,
ligaments and muscles, and thus pre-
vent any one of them from being
strained.
If one stands with the entire sup
porting surface upon the ground, and
the feet square, the ligaments are do
ing most of the work. If one stands
on the outer borders of the feet, the
bones are bearing the weight. Stand
ing with the heels slightly raised or
with the knees slightly bent calls the
muscles into play and relieves the
ligaments and bones. By changing
from one Of these positions to an
other, one can stand for long periods
of time without becoming tired.
With normal feet associated with
the running and other strenuous
training Of military life, almost any
position of these members can be as
sumed without injury: but when 1T is
a question of curing fiat foot the
matter is one Of extreme Importance,
and the patient should never allow
himself, even for Il few moments. to
stand In any position other than the
sSxTsGt enc.

WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU.
Aries.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Al1SS.
An inauspicious day for any risky
ventures. You should safeguard
yourself against financial loss by
making no investments, furnishing
Avoid excitement or overstrenuous
work, and do not start any new busi-
ness.
A child born today will be rather
phelgmatic, and, although possibly
attaining success, 1t will be quite in
different to it.
If today is your birthday you are
not of the warm, affectionate or trust
ing type, but are rather cold blooded
and calculating. You have very de-
termined and fixed lines of conduct
both for yourself and for others. AS
you very rarely deviate from the
path of action you have outlined for
yourself, no matter what the induce
ments may be to do so, you have very
little patience with those who do
those things which they ought not to
do, or leave undone those things
which they ought to do.
Enthusiasm and emotion are not
evidenced in your disposition. You
have a limited imagination, and are
very matter-of-fact. You do not sub
scribe to the theory that "to err is
human, to forgive divine" You very
rarely err, and it is not in your ma
ture to forgive, although you are not
vindictive.
AS a result of your lack of personal
magnetism, and your want of affec-
tional emotion, your friends admire
and respect you, but none come to
you with their troubles, as they fear
your condemnation or criticism, and
rather look upon you as being su-
perior and aloof.
Your relations with the other sex
are not founded upon attractiveness
and sympathy; rather are they based
on common sense and hard reason.
You will never be a victim of love at
first sight, or angered at the first
slight: your ':'sang-froid" will pre-
serve you from both of these dangers
A keen imagination and affection
ate sympathy are antidotes for cyni-
cism and excessive materialism.
Well known persons barn on this
date are: William Ellery Charming,
clergyman; Charles F. Barnard, phil
anthropist; Jacques Loeb, physiolgist;

tive; William Wadsworth, poet
