One Of the parts OF the human
body most subject TO wear and tear
is the feet. Experts associate pain
in the back and even disturbances
Of digestion 70 breaking down OF
the arches. The feet now carry the
entire weight OF the body, whereas
the feet OF animals that walk on all
tours carry the weight much better
distributed. Overeating and over
weight tend TO increase the bur-
den still further. Standing causeS
more strain than walking. Many
people can walk miles without firing
or swelling OF the feet, but suffer
greatly If they are compelled to
stand in one place 20 or 80 min
utes.
The feet are built like arches.
The arches r supported TO a con-
siderable extent by properly made
shoes. However. gymnasium shoes,
shoes for dancing, and house slip
pers are seldom built with a proper
ly supported arch. Such shoes
should be worn only for the specific
use for which they are planned. In
some caseS when there is a ten
dency 10 breaking down OF the arch,
felt pads should be inserted into the
gymnasium shoes. the ballet slip
pers. or house slippers 10 provide
proper support.
It has been suggested by DR.. Philip
Levin that the flat foot associated
with obesity arises from two causes:
% The strain OF an excessive load.
~ The glandular disturbances
which are commonly associated with
obesity.
Intimately associated with proper
comfort OF the feet is the question
Of suitable socks, stockings, or hos
iery. Mothers like TO see their young
children with white stockings. How
ever. white stockings soil quickly,
must be washed frequently, and tend
TO shrink even when they are dried
properly over suitable foot forms.
Tight stockings tend 70 cause the
toes to turn in. the toenails to be-
come ingrowing and in other
ways interfere with the pro-
per circulation OF blood in the foot.
While high arched feet are pre-
sumed to be exceptional for their
beauty, such ftat are usually weak
unless they are especially trained.
Investigation OF the occurrence OF
the h.gh-arched foot indicates that
II Is likely to appear in families as
an hereditary characteristic.
Obviously the most important
method Of treating minor distur-
Dances Of the feet includes the use
Of proper shoes with straight inner
border line, a round toe, correct
width Of the shank. a rigid OF semi
rigid shank. a heel Of moderate
height, and a snugly fitting top.

quently be helped by suitable X
ercise. BY massage or rubbing. and
by bathing for 10 or IS minutes in
alternate hot and cold water. After
bathing the feet they should be
thoroughly dried and powdered.
In cases in which the feet are
subject TO serious disturbances. 1t Is
desirable to consult a competent or
thopedic specialist.

Garner Stock Is Picking Up

It must be true that the man with the scythe is ever
busy. Cong. Ernest X. Alderman of the fifth New Jersey
district is dead. He was a republican, had served seven
terms in the house and was 6S years old. He was very
wealthy. He had made more than so transatlantic
voyages. For so years he carried an umbrella constant
ly, he possessed the third largest and most valuable stamp
collection in existence and he had travelled one million
miles. His passing has tied the republican and demo-
cratic party strength. Each has 214 members. There
are six vacancies caused by death. Four of the districts
are normally republican and two are normally democratic.
Gov. Larson of New Jersey, under the law, can call an
election to be held at the end of 80 days, to fill the new
vacancy in the fifth district Of the state. Since the cleo
tions Of the new senate and house in Nov. 1880 IL house
members and three members Of the senate have passed
away. "Who will be the next to die?'

Mew York
Letter

NEW YORK-Mons. Charles q.
Shaw, who is a professional noctur-
nal prowler for a couple Ct the smart
New York publications, finds Man
haitian night life to be "gayer than
that of London, less genuine than
Berlin and more amusing than
Paris"
Having roamed the globe trying
to figure out how various peoples
caVort after midnight, Shaw has set
down some OF his Gotham find
ings In Might Life" a guide book
which visitors who intend TO step
out while in town might find con-
yenient.
At a time when metropolitan folk
are still discussing the status OF
night resorts in times OF depression
Ii IS interesting TO note a PREDATORY
warning in which this expert con-
cedes that by the time MS tome
reaches 4 readers hands the spots
mentioned may have changed names
and arrangements, may have an en-
tirely different type OF entertain
ment and may even be off the map.
Which is just about how uncer-
tain things are in the after-dark
realms these days.
Shaw sees the minimum check
supplanting the cover charge" Il
am convinced that the Irish make
the best walters he states, thus
starting many arguments about
French and italian service. Il think
that the hours between n and
three a. m. are the most exciting
And do not be fooled by outside
appearances Of a night club. The
gayest exteriors usually harbor the
dullest hangouts," Shaw reports.
There has never been a cafe bar
equal 10 the Forty-fourth Street
Sherry's. And the town holds no
equal TO Jacks Oyster House. The
years OF 1911 to 1915 hit New York
at its top stride. The next change
CT night life will center around the
icnce."
Thus the observations OF one Of
the most seasoned rOundersl
Ard. speaking OF this. the dance
changes or the cavorters Is an in
teresting study in social procedure.
II was, according to historians,
about 1911 when night life began TO
show signs Of revolutionary change.
The fox trot had about as much
TO do with this as any one thing.
Dancing has never been quite the
same since. All over the Rialto the
craze for dancing with dinner was
noted. Old Bustanoby's is credited
with being the first dance-with-
yOur-meals resort.
Until this time, the good folk and
the bad folk had been content TO sip
their champagne and sit behind
screens and palms. listening 70 the
orchestras and chattering with one
another.
Old-time Hoboken, with its color
full and gay beer gardens, had had
a sort Of folk-dancing and q few
convivialS had been noticed traip-
sing between tables. But the cus-
tom OF regulated dance programs
with dinner was a new vogue that
sent thousands TO the night resorts.
II Is also recorded by historians
that the most notorious dance hall
in town was once owned by a cer<
tain Harry Hill. II vas located on
the fringe OF Greenwich Village,
where Broadway meets Houston. II
was n OF the naughty sights which
no visiting summer dared miss. A
little marionette theater where vul-
gar playlets we're given afforded
amusement between dancse.
