found 1t necessary to increase the
length of shoes from two to four
sizes within period Of two years.
Conditions generally responsible for
such weakness are occupations
which require long hours Of stand
ing, increase in weight, wearing OF
improperly designed or nl-htting
shoes, and illness"
Still quoting the Kentucky CHI
ropodist- podiatrist, 1.-THE pathology
Of hammer toe is as follows: the
lateral and glenoid ligaments Of the
toe and the soft tissue beneath are
contracted and the tendons of both
extensor and hexor muscles are
shortened. In chronic cases there
may be complete or partial ankylosis
Citation, stiff joint and in such
instances surgery is the only means
Of correction. In all other cases,
however, surgery is not necessary.
DR.. Harry BudiI1, New York podia-
trist-chiropOdist, has devised q
splint which may be worn inside the
stocking without discomfort and
with occasional manipulation will
invariably correct the trouble. I am
speaking with experience Z. The de-
vice you suggested, the insole with
rubber loop, has not proved very
satisfactory, as 1t cannot be worn so
comfortably inside the stocking"
In one or more recent talks here
we suggested that an important
underlying factor Of pronated,
weak, tired, relaxed, aching. po-
tentially fiat feet in children in
their teens and young adults may
be a deficiency Of calcium phos-
phorus metabolism. due to insufhci-
ent intake Of vitamin d or to insult
ficient exposure Of naked skin to
sunlight or both. Podiatrists-chi-
ropodists everywhere could soon de-
termine how important this factor
may be In such cases, as well as IN
the weakness responsible for ham,
mer toe, by seeing that such patients
shall get an optimal daily ration of
vitamin D to supplement their diet.

Inc. the throat and take specimens
Of the material therein, to determine
whether germs sill are present.
If the germs are persistent, it is
necessary to treat the condition with
active antiseptics or by other meth
DDS, to clear up the carrier condi-
ton. Infected tonsils are particu-
larry likely to harbor diphtheria
germs. In such bases removal Of the
torlsils usually will Danish the germs.
In other cases the throat is
swabbed daily with a mild tincture
of iodine, and nose and throat
cleaned with hydrogen peroxide. Per-
sistent treatment In most cases will
clear up the carrier condition, usu-
ally within several weeks.
Antitoxin, while especially valu-
able in controlling the symptoms of
diphtheria, is not especially useful
In clearing UP the carrier condition.
In that condition, remember, the
child carries germs in his. throat
without being disturbed by such
toxin or poison as the germ manu-
lectures, because he already has de-
veloped In his blood the antitoxin to
take care Of these poisons.
Remember, too, that diphtheria
germs are located on the surface of
the tissue and are not in immediate
contact with the blood.
When diphtheria occurs In schools,
orphan asylums and similar institu-
tons. 1t usually is necessary in con-
trolling the condition to take cul-
lures from every person In the
group, to eliminate carriers as soon
as possible.

Your Children

The mind of a mother differs

Emotionally speaking that is.

rule, than there ere today In mar
ried life.
Women are usually one or two
Jumps ahead of the moment they
are living In. Men live almost en-
tirely on facts.
Mrs. Smith, for instance, this
morning goes about her routine
housework. Baby Is taking his mid
morning siesta upstairs and Teddy
Is at school. John is in town at the
office earning his thirty a week

Unless you sguard against the
disaster, your throat will shout to
the world that you are older than
you care to admit. You can conceal
your grazing locks with dye, figure
defects with a proper foundation
garment, hollow cheeks with cor
rect makeup, but there's nothing
much you can wear or do to hide
a withered, old-looking throat.
OF course, the sensible pro-
cedure is to give your neck a bit
o. extra attention every night
beginning with your twenty-fifth
birthday. Cleanse 1t as carefully as
you do face and hands. Apply
cream upward from collar bones
to hairline instead of upward from
chin. When you get 1t on, massage
1t into your neck, using firm down.

ones.
With thumbs and forefingers,
pinch along jawbone from center
of chin to ear lobes eight or ten
times. This discourages double

middle-aged look around the lower
part OF your face.
Do at least one neck and throat
exercise before you slap under
chin and go on to work the cream

one not only keeps the throat firm
but improves head posture, TOO:

he is working for. or whom.
Out on the pike there Is his little
house and In it three people de-
pending on him. They are well, he
feels fit as fiddle. The rent and
grocer are paid and although there
are things they all must do without
now, there's the future still ahead
He sees the big picture, and it isn't
half bad.
At home the bell has rung twice
Once it was a man taking orders
for madeover rugs. The other was
selling electric sewing machines al
so much month.
Mrs. Smith had money for neither
and desire for both.
The sun goes behind a cloud ant
the stops humming. At every turn
now she sees the old filmsy rug
that has lost its color. And the ole
treadle machine at which she sits
to mend a torn sheet makes hei
back ache, whereas 1t had never
ached before.
Her thoughts, with no one to talk
to, go begging about on the streets

! finite end. She forgets the big pic

children, a good husband and fun

things she thinks of as security.
Inventing Tragedies
Then she starts more worrying
What If John doesn't get a raisei
Worse still, what If John should gel
sick or lose his job? What, indeed
If she should get sick, herself?
She has no one to talk to, re-
member, except Teddy who bounce:

school.

grin at her and thumb their noses
She opened the box herself, but
all alone there in the house, she
couldn't help 1t.
John gets home at last and can't
quite understand her waspish an
swers. She thinks John stupid not
to understand that she's going crazy,
as she puts it.
All the time he's been feeling that
he's beeing doing pretty good job
and says SO. This makes her more
impatient than ever. And they have
their first violent quarrel. 1t will
be followed by more trouble II
Mary Smith continues to dream too

don't try to understand each others
problems. No team can work pull

The diphtheria carrier is unques-
tionably one Of the most important
factors in spread of that disease.
Some time after they have the dis
ease, but frequently without ever
manifesting symptoms, diphtheria
carriers get the germs In the throat
and thereafter distribute them.
Whenever the number Of diph-
liberia cases increases suddenly, pub
lie health officials are likely to sus-
pect the presence Of dphtheria car
riers.
After a child has had diphtheria,
he should not be allowed to play
with other children until he has
been pronounced free from the
germs. Diphtheria germs can be
carried for as long as 10 months In
the threats of children who have re-
covered from the disease.
In more than 10 per cent of all
cases of diphtheria, germs can be
found in the throat two weeks after
all signs Of the disease seem to have
