"This trouble can be easily
averted by little attention to the
feet of children" declares the
health committee bulletin of the
State Medical Association issued
today. A recent survey of 225
children in one public school show
ed that 50 walked improperly ;
154 wore faulty shoes (mostly too
SHORTY; At had weak feet and
ankles; IL had flat feet; 100 wore
Stockings too short and I'll show
ed no care of the nails.
'qMost of the deviations from
the normal were of a nature which
could have been prevented of such
that they could have been correct
ed if discovered early, and proper
treatment given. When neglected
such defects tend to cripple and to
impair permanently the health and
efficiency of those affected. In
view of the facts that over two
thirds Of all children entering
school have multiple physical de-
fects $50 per cent showing foot
defects) it is apparent that health
agencies should carry their cam
paign of health education to par
ents at the very beginning of par
enthood.
"Foot hygiene should include
the daily foot bath, frequent
changing and nightly airing of
stockings. Stockings should al
ways be half an inch longer than
the foot. Shoes should be care
fully fitted, should conform to
normal foot lines, and should be
sufficiently long and broad to per-
NIT toe spread and forward foot
drive. BE sure that the soles are
pliable and the inside lines straight.
For the first shoe the soft mocas-
sin should always be selected and
the soles should be flexible and
without heels usually up to the
eighth year.
every careful attention should
be given to the nails. They should
be cut straight across flush with
the feshy part of the toe, never
in at the corners as this predispos-
es to infection and improving nails.
They should be smoothed with a
file after cutting. A foot brush is
as necessary as a hand brush and
should be used especially on the
nails and soles of the foot. Foot
exercise in infancy and in older
children are important factors in
preserving the normal shape and
condition of the feet.
"Attention to these suggestions
early in life will mean in the ma
jority of cases, normal feet. 9th
erwise it may result in faulty me
chsnism of the entire body. Foot
examination of school children and
the teaching Of proper foot use
should be especially emphasized in
connection with the physical train
ing activities in our public schools"

Attempt Being Made to
Make I. B. Cure Lasting
Statistics Show Large Relapse of
Patients in Minnesota After
Leaving Sanitariums

To help make recoveries from
tuberculosis permanent, is the aim
of a new employment and rehabili-
tation service for ex-sanatorium
patients started by the Minnesota
Public Health Association, accord
ing to DR.. E. A. Meyerding, Elk.
ecutive Secretary, R. R. Resell, for
the past three years vocational en-
ployment director for the Henne-
pin County tuberculosis Associa-
ton, Minneapolis, and formerly in
the medical department of the U.
S. Veterans Bureau is in charge
of the new department. Christ
mas Seal funds will finance the
work. .....
With the cooperation of sana-
forum directors and local commit
tees to be organized throughout
the state, Mr.. Resell will advise
and assist discharged sanatorium
patients in finding suitable en-
ployment, and will arrange for
supervision to prevent break
downs. The work was endorsed
by the American Legion in a reso-
luton passed at it's recent state
meeting in Austin.
-Relapses of patients who have
successfully made a recovery from
tuberculosis occur repeatedly af-
ter, their return to the working
world, according to DR.. E. A. Mey-

to safeguard the patient and

1891, the first year working on
farms in the Osakis community.
He then went to Crookston where
he remained for two years and a
half. He then returned to Todd
county, where he was united in
marriage on December Is, 1894,
to Miss Bertha l.. Anderson. Sur
viving him are his widow and six
children, the latter as follows: Mrs.
Marie Hagen, Lowry; Mrs. Emma

Mr.. Sorlie has for years been an
active member of the Sank Valley
Lutheran church, and served as an
efficient member of various church
boards. He was for some time a
member of the church choir. He
was man of deep religious con-
victions and enjoyed the high es-

the most attractive and best i'm
proved farms in West Union town.

About four years ago his health
began to fail and he gradually de-
clined. Much of the time he suf-
fered great pain and his devoted
wife and members of the family
ministere'd to his wants with the
tenderest care. On the Wednes-
day morning before he died he
walked into the kitchen and ate
breakfast as usual, but was oblig-
ed to return at once to his bed, to
which he had been more or less
confined for several months. He
passed away just as the sun rose
Friday morning, surrounded by
all the members of his family,
they having been summoned to his
bedside a few days before the end
came.
Funeral services were held Mon
day afternoon at 80 from the
farm home and at 2 o'clock from

tor, Rev. J. A. Johnson, officiated,

Chance for Cross Word
Puzzle Sharks to Do Stuff
Word Standing Half Way Between
"Quiet" and "Silent" Desired
by Large Manufacture

The class in photography will
now assemble.
Be seated, please.
What is the word which stands
just half way between "quiet" and
"silent"? Some high powered adj
vertising men and seasoned copy
writer's want to know.
This is the missing word in the
literature which describes the new
Frigidaire. Nobody could think of
it.
According to the authorities, no
mechanical device can be abso-
lutely silent, as it's very motion
creates sound waves. On the
other hand the word "quiet" is en-
tirely too noisy to describe the new
product Ct General Motors.
E. G. Biechler, who is president
and general manager of Frigidaire
Corporation, Dayton, Ohio, is
broadcasting an appeal for the
word or phrase which best describes
this attribute of the new auto
matte refrigerator.

versity of Minnesota. This can be
done usually on a majority of the
farms in this state between Sept
tember 10 and 20. In very dry
seasons it can be done considerably
earlier.
Mr.. Army emphasizes the AID
vantage of selecting the seed ears
on the basis Of the appearance of
the plants. "When the ears are
selected from the husked corn,
there is no way of knowing what
kind of plants produced them or
what the stand was in the hills
he says. Therefore effective Sc
lection of seed ears from husked
corn is impossible.
"Ears somewhat long and small
in circumference and heavy for
their size mature earlier and yield
better than short, thick ones. Ears
with IL to 16 rows of kernels are
preferable to those having from 16
to 20 rows. Large ears are. not
necessary to secure good yields of
corn. An average of three 8-ounce
or four 6-ounce ears to the hill
checked 3 feet 6 inches will
amount to rs bushels an acre.
"Any normal ear carried at a
medium height on vigorous
plant makes good seed corn if the
curing has been done properly.
The seed ears should be we'll dried
out before, freezing weather and
then stored in a dry place. Where
corn has reached full maturity and
the seed supply is ample, the final
selection should retain only the
bright looking ears heavy for their
size and free from discolorations
on the cob"
