New York, July 6.-Broadway has
its many establishments, some
great and some petty, but not all Of
them are unpleasant. After all, the
wickedness of Broadway is as much
on the surface as its glitter and
gaiety; it is much like a Ben Davis

Last night, for instance, I waited
outside a stage door (properly chap
eroned, of course) to see the members
of very large and very dazzling
chorus leave and to learn if any of
the old-fashioned stagedoor Johnnies
are still to be found.
Only q few moments before I had
witnessed these same girls shocking
a most sophisticated audience. MANY
Of them had appeared on the stage
almost nude in some sequences and at
other times dressed in most marnifi-
cent costumes.
Now they were filing out the stage
door. Most of them were in most or
binary and modest clothing and wore
little or no makeup Fathers were
waiting for some of them. Others
were met by their STEADY fellows"
who appeared to be poor but honest
working men. Some came out in tvos

He's right, of course.
Police in American cities nearly always both honest

One reason why London has many fewer crimes than

Lion-hunting until recently has

Now this game Of lion hunting has
been carried to the great outdoors.
one bright young magazine editor is
not going on vacation this summer
because he doesn't know where to
dodge the lion hunters.
And many of the smart magazines
are carrying advertisements Of re-
sorts telling the world at large Just

TO be an open invitation: "Come here,

-FABLEs ON HEALTH-
FOR PERSPIRING FEET

In addition to the embarrassment
caused by the odor from perspiring
feet, the person is likely to suffer
from aching and burning feet because
of the tenderness Of the skin.
An absolutely sure remedy for the
perspiration is impossible for all per-
sons. However, here is solution
which has proved effective in ma
jority Of cases where it has been
tried.
Tannin 80 drains; lycopodium, 8
drains; alum, dram.
Another solution is made from
oxide of zinc, l ounce; starch, 2
ounces; salicylic acid, dram; talcum

powder, 7 ounces, oil Of winter green,
5 drops. Mix these we'll, adding the
oil last.
These solutions should be made by
druggist unless the person is
equipped with apothecary scales.
When the feet burn from long
standing, soak them in a basin Of
warm water in which two table
spoonfuls of baking soda has been
dissolved.
The warm soda water softens and
relaxes the tissues and opens the
pores, allowing the undue. quantity
OF blood, present in the feet, to dis
perse.

The Wrong Wav to Do Your
Thinking
The worst feature of this anti
scientific movement is not its fool
ish conclusions. 1t is it's method of
reaching them.
There is not so much harm in the
opinion that man was made Of mud
and woman from his rib, that disease
is caused by spinal error or mental
subluxation, or that it rains when
the new moon is tipped our way, as
there is in reaching these or any
conclusions, even correct ones,
wrong-end-to.
That is what cur anti-scientists
persistently do. They evolve a
theory from their inner conscious
ness, and then make the facts fit it.
When you do that, you first cor
rupt the integrity Of your own soul.
Then you reach uns ound conclu-
sions. And you treat disagreement
with those conclusions as moral
wicke dness.
The most important thing about
science is its method, which is the
systematic and critical examination
of the facts and the acceptance of
the answer they give.
Whoever uses this method is en-
titled to a patient hearing, even
