THIS offers you foot comfort such
L as you have never known before.
A way that conquers torturing pain
that banishes foot weakness and
dull, dragging arches =. that brings
quick and lasting relief to even the most
chronic sufferers.
The real trouble is that feet were not
made for shoes-shoes were made for
feet, and thus, wearing hit or miss shoes,
foot ailments and other weaknesses
come gradually upon US.
Our feet may look all right. Feel
fairly comfortable. No corns or bunions.
Nature certainly can put up with lot
of abuse Then all of a sudden we feel
her warning Of a weakened condition.
Dull aches. Sharp, singing pains.
That tired feeling at the end of every
day.
Nature is simply taking her toll for the
way you have mistreated your feet. And
if not taken care of Immediately, there
is no telling where the danger will lead
1t is for exactly such conditions and
circumstances that Ground Grippers
are made. Here is a shoe designed to
correct foot ailments in simple, scien-
tihc way the way that Nature
requires.
Ground Grippers exclusively have:
/. The Flexible Arch, which allows
the foot muscles TO exercise and thus
strengthen themselve- with every step.
This fexibility makes the shoe close
fitting and comfortable, easing the foot
while assisting the arch to absorb the
shocks of walking.

Insanity and Fraud.

Of absurdity in the insanity defense
John Stelk is on trial for alleged fraud
in certain real estate transactions and
is pleading insanity in extenuation. HI
was formerly for six years a member
of the bench of the Criminal Court at
Chicago. At the trial the chief Justice
OF the Municipal Court testified that
during the last two years OF Sticks
service on the bench he was insane
and incapable of choosing between right
and wrong" The offense of which ne
is now accused is that OF defraudins
clients and counterfciting public seals
But his real estate operations. which
1t is charged. are thus tainted with
fraud, have netted him some half mil
lion dollars. This would not strike the
average observer as particularly i'm
preSsive proof of insanity. II the frauds
IN his real estate operations brought
him a profit of 100000 in a few years

always erred on the side of his own
advantage. He may not have been
capable through some mental defect of
choosing between right and wrong,
but 1t would appear that he always
chose the wrong course that led to his
own profit. II that Is insanity there
