ABUSING OUR BEST =
FRIENDS

7 went to dinner party the other
= night. There were six men and six
women. In the midst of the dinner,
there was an alarm Of fire across the
street. We all left the table to see
what was going on; that is, eight of
us did; all the men and two of the
women.
After the excitement had subsidized,
the four women who were slow in re
spending admitted that they had
slipped off one or both slippers under
cover of the table, so, as one woman
said ito have half an hour Of comfort
and enjoy the dinner in peace" The
other two women said they would have
done the same thing, only they were
afraid If they took off their shoes.
they couldn't get them on again. After
looking at the shoes, i was inclined
to agree with them.
What part of the human body Is
most abused? Our eyes? Perhaps. but
if you have any defect of vision you
get glasses to aid them, not something
to make them worse. Our stomachs?
Badly abused, heaven knows, but
since tight lacing went out Of style.
no one fortunes her stomach for the
sake of being stylish. Mo- think our
feet are today the most abused parts
of our bodies.
The feet are more than supports.
They are an important part Of our
walking machinery. No one can walk
easily, gracefully and comfortably I'M
less the foot has free action. Yet from
childhood we force our feet into shoes
that are stylish rather than shoes that
are made to walk in. So from child
hood very few people have normal
feet.
Doctor Lewis found among 1000
boys and girls in the Bryant high
school in New York only $40 pairs of
shoes that actually fitted the feet Of
the wearers. In six hundred and sixty
nine cases, the shoes were too short
and in three hundred and sixty-one
cases, they were too narrow. The
1900 boys and girls in their 5000 feet
had 1877 foot defects.
Not very gratifying record, Is 1t?
No wonder fiat feet was one of the
most common defects found in exam
lining men during the draft. A soldier
with fiat feet Is like an auto with fiat
tires. His intentions may be good, but
he won't get far.

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor. of "HEALTH"
MoHAMMED ON DIET
seeeS5ss Sss
20. 1926. Western Newspaper Unlon.l

MoHAMMED, the founder of Mo
AVA hammedanism, lived and taught
and died fourteen hundred years ago
Many of his teachings seem to us to-
day to be childish superstitions But
any man who, fourteen hundred years
after his death, still has two hundred
twenty million followers who revere
him as the prophet Of God must have
been a good deal of a man.
His ideas, his knowledge and his
ignorance were naturally those Of his
time. But in the queer mixture of
oriental superstition and religious
fanaticism found in the Koran are
some shrewd observations on health.
Like Moses, his great predecessor, he
was evidently a man Of keen observa-
ton and excellent judgment. In the
desert wilds of Arabia, where he lived,
one Of the greatest enemies of men Is
dust and one of the most precious pos
sessions Of man is water. So it is not
strange that he wrote IF 1t were not
for the fine dust which we breathe
and for the stagnant water which we
drink Adams sons would live for ten
centuries.
Mohammed, of course, knew nothing
about germs. The microscope. which
has made them visible to the human
eye, was not invented for a thousand
years after his time. If any one had
told him what germs were, he would
probably have thought Of them as
Genii, or Afrits, evil spirits riding on
dust speck or lurking In stagnant
water ready to enter the body of the
true believer and fill him full of evil
spirits and demons. But Mohammed
was practical man and he knew that
dust drawn into the lungs, or foul
water taken into the stomach caused
many diseases and shortened the lives
Of men.
Practically all diseases, except those
caused by malformation at birth, are
due to causes outside the body. Man
has learned much since Mohammed'S
day. Yet with all our learning, the
way to health and long life is still as
easy and as difficult as it was in Mo-
hammeds time. We have conquered or
know how to avoid practically all
water-borne diseases. We are learning
more every day about foods. We are
still largely helpless to prevent respira-
tory diseases. But the rules for the
avoidance Of disease are very much
the same today as they were fourteen
hundred years ago.
Eat pure food, drink pure water.
breathe pure air and keep your skin
clean and you'll escape most of the
diseases that destroy mankind.

the things which have made his life
miserable during his sixty years have
never happened.
/ know young mother who lives In
hourly terror that something will hap
pen to her baby. She sees germs on
everything that he touches and on
everything that touches him. She
looks forward to the time when he
will have broken bones and frac-
tured skull. 1t is true that he has
fallen out of bed and tumbled down
stairs, but his little soft body has been
scarcely the worse for it's contact with
the floor. He had few bruises and
little discoloration, but he was CUR

disagreeable duty. wished that /
might shunt 1t upon some one else.
But found when I faced it coura-
geously, when went to it straightfor-
wardly and kindly, that most of the
disagreeable part disappeared. I got
through rather easily.
And so have found that most of the
Objectionable and disagreeable and
trying experiences of life are worse on
anticipation than on realization. The
trouble and privation and the sacri-
fees that we look forward to with
dread either never come to us or prove
far less trying than we anticipate.
Even the dreaded specter of death I
have no doubt when we come to meet
him face to face, will have lost his
terrors. Most people whom 1 have
seen go have done so courageously,
fearlessly, painlessly and often with
out regret. Who knows but that the
hereafter, which we sometimes shrink
from, may not hold for each of us
more Joy and greater opportunities
than does the present? 1t may not be
so duh ana monotonous in heaven as
we fear even if we are given harp

There has been some criticism OF

the action of the special committee

A mammoth undertaking is being
conducted in the State of Maine in
such a smooth manner that few people
are aware of 1t at all. This is the
work of taking a complete inventory
of the property of the New England
Telephone & Telegraph Co. down to
the smallest bolt and nut owned by
the company. When the miles Of
telephone lines, the great number of
Switchboards and central offices and
other appurtenances are taken into
consideration it will be seen at once
that this is gigantic proposition.
To facilitate the work. the State of
! Maine has been divided into four Sec
tions with headquarters at Augusta,
Portland, Bangor and Lewiston. The
division headquarters are at Portland.
employed upon the various kinds of
work necessary in an operation Of this
kind.
There is district supervisor in
charge of each district and under him
! five field supervisors who have gen.
| eral charge Of the work of four or
more field crews. c. l.. "Chet" Bren-
| nan is in charge of the Augusta dis
trict, with an office at the Chamber of
| Commerce building. Under him are
| the following field supervisors: Il. T..
Thurston of Waterville, Frederick
Franklin of Bedford. Mass, John c..
Lannon of New Bedford. J. J. Honor
| of Fall River and Parker Sears of
Hyannis, Mass.
| The field crews make the actual In
ventory. going over every foot of the
| lines and checking up on every piece
| of property. During the winter they
did much of their work on snowshoes
and snowmobilcs were used to get
| them about the country. They start
! at one end of line and move toward
the other end. taking the size and kind
of the pos. number of wires which
| they carry, number of cross arms on
| each pole. number of pins on the
| cross arms, guy wires If any, distance
| between poles, and all data that can
possibly be needed in the inventory.
This data is carefully entered upon
| forms which are submitted to the
| field checking clerk, who goes over a
percentage of the work to see that 1t
| is being done correctly. The results
are then sent to the district checking
clerk, who goes over them again and
checks up If he finds anything that
| looks wrong. They are then sent TO
| the division headquarters where they
are further checked.
But the compilation of this data as
not all the work that the inventory
crews are doing. A staff of eight or
40 craftsmen are kept busy at district
headquarters making up maps of the
company's lines and entering thereon
the necessary technical notations to
make them of use as reference maps.
| The work has been completed In the
state of Massachusetts and is now be-
ing conducted in three or four of the
New England states simultaneously.
| To complete the entire inventory Will
| take several months more although
the work will move along at faster
pace with the coming of spring.
