Editorial Comment
Economic Effect of Advertising
FLASHER Tribune)

1t would be a difficult thing to find a business author
ity in these times that would not say that advertising is
one of the very essential features In business. 1t per-
forms a certain service that needs to be performed for
successful operation, and If that service is lacking, bust
ness suffers.
When you advertise a business In some medium having
q circulation among the people you desire to reach, you
attract public attention to the merchandise provided by
that business. The result is to draw people to see those
goods, and to increase sales. A we'll advertised store
ought to sell twice as many goods as one that Is not
advertised.
This doubling of the volume of a business, or what
ever increase Is secured, works for efficient and
economical distribution. When the sales of a business
are thus doubled, the expense of doing that business
should not rise in anything like the same proportion.
You may be able to double the volume of your trade,
while your expenses may not have increased by Is or
so per cent.
Hence your expense per article sold is reduced by the
advertising. You can sell goods cheaper to the public.
Your ability to do this draws still more people to the
store. So a we'll advertised business not r"rey sells
cheaper and makes more money, but it is in a position to
enlarge and 60 on to become a much bigger concern.
the profits of which will far exceed those 1t gained before
1t started to bring its goods to the attention OF the
public.
Thus all parties profit by advertising. The public
gains information it desires to have, the concern increases
its trade and its profits.

Wages by the Year

There is a great deal Of sound common sense In the
suggestion of William Green, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, that wage-earners in American in
dustry be paid by the year instead of by the day.
To be sure. to put Mr.. Green's plan into effect would
call for some drastic, almost revolutionary, changes in
industrial relations. But the result might well be worth
the trouble.
The annual wage system he proposes would go far to
eliminate season unemployment, and would probably
have an even better effect by compelling manufacturers
to spread their work evenly over the entire year rather
than going at top speed for five months and iding at
half-capacity for the remainder of the year. It is very
that in the next few years we shall be hearing
a great deal more of this plan.

fair sex attired In knickers and shirt while out on a hike,

ruff Of the neck and shake them into shoestrings. TO
our way Of thinking, females thus clad look more like q

EXERCISES FOR FLAT FEET

Flat feet are often formed be-
cause the muscles of the feet and
calf are not strong enough to give
support to the ligaments which
bind the bones Of the feet in the
shape of an arch. This is a very
common disorder and one which may
cause many pains and aches In the
lower back and legs.
One of the sources Of fallen arches
is the habit of "toeing out" while
walking. This method will in time
weaken the strongest foot, since
1t throws the weight Of the body on
the inside of the foot when it should
be carried on the outside. BY plac-
ing the weight in the wrong place
with every step the arch SOC be-
comes flattened. On the other hand,
"toeing in" throws the weight on the
outside of the foot where it belongs,
and results in the free play of all
Of the foot muscles.
1t is often impossible to cure q
case of sciatica or rheumatism Of
the legs until the patient learns to
walk correctly.
The flat foot appears to be pressed
down in the middle, making The
center of the foot the widest part
and the arch is not rounded but flat
tened out so that the whole foot
presses down against the floor.
A print Of the normal foot shows the
heel and ball with only a thin on

muscles but the leg muscles. Men
do not suffer from arch troubles so
much as women because they usuelly
keep their leg muscles stronger.
Accidents may push the bones of
the foot out Of place and induce

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Reddish Gums

Question: Mac writes: "Please
explain in your column the cause of
dark reddish color to the gums just
cured?"
Answer: The dark red gums may
be caused from an acid mouth and
made worse by the infection of the
germs associated with pyorrhea or
trench mouth. Lupus can be cured
II treatment is started in time.
Mucus.forming Foods
Question: N. D. asks: "Are the
following foods mucus-forming:
milk. in a cooked form; arrowroot
biscuits. soda biscuits, sardines?"
Answer: Those who have a ten
dency to catarrh should avoid milk
IN any form, at least during the
time they are undergoing a cure.
All starches such as arrowroot. or
any kind of biscuits, must be O
sidered mucus-forming. Sardines
are a protein and if used in limited
amounts have not the effect of pro-
ducing catarrh.
Test for Insanity
Question: B. H. asks: "Will
you kindly explain what it means
when the knee is tapped or struck
sharply and the leg jumps? l have
heard it said that it is a test for in.
sanity and as my leg does not move
when the knee is struck, naturally
| am concerned, and it isn't because
l don't know where to hit, for l do"
Answer: The test you write about
IS used in a study of the leg reflexes.
1t is not an accurate test for in
sanity, but indicates the degree of
such a disorder as locomotor ataxia.
1t shows that the nerve currents
coming from the brain through the
spinal cord into your leg are inter
ferred with in some manner. making
these impulses weak. This occurs
in several disorders, but the mean

there is an aggravation of arch dis
comfort.
To correct fallen feet try "toeing
in," hiking over rough ground, and
rising on the toes 20 times twice
daily. A very good exercise is to
practice "toeing in" every other
block when you are walking. An
other good exercise is to stand bare
foot and try to pick up marbles with
the toes, or stand on a thick book
and grasp the edges with the toes.
See that your shoes do not bind
you. Arch supports may help tenn
porarily, but they are crutches and
you must rely upon exercising to
repair the foot permanently. The
exercises. if persisted in, will grad
ually bring back the muscular power
OF the important muscles and in
crease the circulation in the foot sc
n q your arches may then return
to their normal shape. You can then
discard any arch support and your
feet will feel strong, as nature in
tended.
When correcting flat feet it is
always a good plan to wear some
kind of specially made shoes which
fit the foot properly. There are
many stores selling special ortho-
pedic shoes which are made in such
a manner as to encourage the wear
er in using the muscles of the feet.
A competent chiropodist will be
able to advise you about the best
arch supports or shoes to use while
you are also strengthening your feet
