SIX FOOT SNAKE
 ON STEAMER PIER
Boa Constructor Killed by Work
 men in New York

New York. Sept, 1O-Proof that snakes do not wait till sundown 10 die was given yesterday when six longshoremen beat a siX-foot boa constructor to death in broad day. light. The men rained blows on 1t with shovels when 1t attacked one of their number, Patrick Rogers Of 1909 Bloomfield street, Hoboken, on the Scandinavian American Line pier at 17th street, Hoboken.
 Rogers was working among bales of rags on the pier when he saw the snake, coiled up and watching him from behind one of the bales. It made for him, Rogers reported, but he lodged back and before it could turn he pounded it on the head with q shovel he held In his hand.
 The reptile was stunned, but Rog- CTS took no chances and called five husky longshoremen into action. A terrific assault with shovels soon left the constructor dead as a doornail.
 Steamship line officials believe the snake was brought in on the liner Frederick VIII, which dockcd two 1 weeks ago with cargo of rags from India.

NAVY BEANS NOW
 AN ARCTIC FOOD
Carried Into Polar Regions by
 American Airmen

Washington, D, C., Sept. 1o,- Navy beans went with the navy Ay- CTS into the Arctic.
 They constituted one of the in- novations in Arctic menus intro duced through the MacMillan-Na- tional Geographic expedition.
 Powdered orange, powdered lemon, powdered milk, tomato paste, and American cream cheese arc other novelties in food carried by the flyers, The only two concessions to the usual Arctic food require ments are pemmican, or dried meat, which makes up one-third of the food supply, and biscuit.
 The food list of the explorers is the answer to a difficult problem the navy dietitians had to solve., Mini mum weight had to accompany maximum caloric value. Foods had to be such that they would require little or no cooking. Furthermore the menu-makers had to consider the possibility Of prolonged stay This meant heavy stress on proteins and fats.
 What would the housewife, wht ponders what she shall have for din ner do with an order like that?
 This is the ration the explorer! must depend upon every time theil planes fly: for one man for one day one-seventh of pound of flour two-ffths of pound of pilot breac (polite name for hard tack), tentl of a pound of bacon, third of { l pound of powdered milk, twentietl of a pound of navy beans, twentietl of a pound of oatmeal, twentieth o a pound of chocolate, twentieth { ; pound of cream cheese, one pount of Demmican, spoonful of tomatt

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
By DR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service

Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service
 The correct method of walking is to walk with the toes pointing nearly straight ahead and only slightly out. Correct posture Is more like the military attitude at rest, namely, with heels apart, toes almost straight forward, the sides of the feet approximately opposite sides of a square. This attitude gives stabil- ity and boise and insures a proper distribution of the weight of the body upon the structures of the feet. If you toe out or toe in you may, in measure, correct this condition by practicing walking on two par allel chalk lines about three-f fourths of the length of one foot apart. This straight forward direction of the feet, with heels apart. is rec commended as & corrective for faulty pasture.
 Those who stand great deal should avoid distorted positions. The weight of the body should not rest on the sides of the feet nor on one fcot with the body Glgging to one side. The body weight should be kept evenly supported on both feet The condition known as flat foot is very common. In all cases of fiat feet, the sufferer should seek the ad- vice of an orthopedc surgeon, a specialist on bone deformities. It frequently happens that a plaster cast of the foot is required in order that proper brace may be adjusted to assist in the cure of this condition.
 It is important that you should remember that fiat foot is a condi. ton that should be treated by g physician or surgeon and not by 6 shoemaker or shoe salesman. Int ordinary arch supports, supplied b, shoemakers do not cure flat feet.
 Shoes for fiat feet should have , straight internal edge. All measures employed for the correction of fla feet should be supplemented b, proper exercise and the correction o faulty positions of the feet whil walking.
 If you toe out, unless the toeinI out Is corrected by exercises and tn proper shoe. an arch support ma do you more harm than good.
 To detect weak feet is compara lively easy. Do your ankles ben inward when standing or walking
 Are you disposed to walk on tn inner side of the feet as shown b the uneven wearing of the shoes
 If you find that you have a ten dency in any of these directions yo should look immediately to the COT rection of the condition, remember ing that this condition may be pre-. ent with a high instep and with n evidence of flat foot.
 As fiat foot develops, however, tr inward bend of the ankle is easi' apparent. The inner hollow of tf foot disappears and when the sho, are removed, the entire sole res upon the ground.
 Correct Your Feet Early in Life
 The earlier in life this eonditio of the feet Is detected the better fc the individual. A cure for flat fe, after middle life. especially in e, tremely heavy people. is difficult ( impossible. especially If the archt are completely broken down.

ROMEO AND JULIET
/ Wins HIGH PRAISE
Brilliant Audience Attends
Opera-NiIssen Proves
"Find" of Evening.

At least 5000 Washingtonians, in
Guiding many representatives of the
brilliant social, diplomatic and mu-
sical circles of the Capital, listened 10
the performance of GounodS opera,
Romeo and Juliet" as presented last
night al the Washington Auditorium
by the Washington Opera Co., with
guest artists and Il large and inCreas-
ingly improving chorus Of local sing
ars. The chorus shows marked inn
provement in its intensive training, un-
der Noes Ila tine, both in vocal produc-
tion and stage poiSe. The orchestra. un-
der Jacques Sama SSOud, was also salts
factory. Its accompaniment for the
voices was kept down and did not at
any time dominate them. The over
ture was impressive and established
the mood of the opera very we'll.
Thalia SahanieVa. the Metropolitan
soprano who has been heard here on
several previous occasions in opera,
sang Juliet We'll. although she seemed
to save her voice. especially In the
waltz song, which was disappointment
given. Later in the evening, becoming
better with each act. she reached real
ly fine achievement in the fourth and
fifth acts. The balcony duet and the
death duet with Tokatvan were par
tfcularlN we'll given both dramatically
Metropolitan and new to Washington,
sang Romeo fairly we'll. He seemed to
lack ina ginatio in giving vitality TO
his role. His voice was big and vi
hrant. but seemed to lack roundness
apd fineSse. Ivan IvantZor was excel
lent as Mercutio, singing and acting
his role Well.
The real find" of the evening was
Sisurd \ilssen. formerly Il member of
the De ResZke Quartet, whose rich
bass voice shows the careful ira ming
it received at the hands Of both Oscar
Seas gle and Jean De Reszke., Mr.. Nils
sen sang Friar Laurence apparently
without effort and placed his ringing
round tones Well. lie promises TO
develop an interesting career.
Signor Gondof, who sang Capulet.
Is another bass. He appeared some
what awkward and amateurish. An
nanian was good as Gregorio, and Ia g
liavina sang Tyhalt well. Anna La
Puma was good in the small part of
Gertrude. the nurse. having her best
opportunity in the quartet at the end
Of the third act.
Nine DelaunoS. also of the Metro
politan and new to local opera -goers.
sang the role of Stephano instead of
Marg uerite Moor. who could not ap-
pear. Nine. DelaunoiS showed that
French was. indeed. her native tongue
giving her words excellent enuncia
ton. George theshanoNskN was quite
satisfactory in the role of the duke.
The settings We're ambitious and the
many changes of scenery required
We're we'll handled The two appear

ballet We're quite in the picture and
charming. II. r.
