Shoe and Foot Troubles . , r rp*HE commonest form of foot trou jl Die is that which the laity speak :of as "flat-foot," or "fallen arches," a condition which is, in fact, nearly always caused by bad posture, by muscles weakened through lack of proper exercise, and especially by the useykf . sboes of poor type which limit muscle action, especially action of the toes, Mid gives a faulty weight distribution - on the foot. When the barefoot savage walks, his .foot "toes in," and the toes grasp the ground at each step. In consequence of this, the leg muscles, whose ten'dons run back of the inner ankle bone and are hitched to the sole and the toes, are strong and elastic from use and hold up the arch of the foot. With stiff shoes, especially with tight nr short nnps th*> nnHnn nf tho is limited or even stopped, .and the muscles consequently lose elasticity and tone. If one stands much and walks little, all the muscles of the leg and foot lose strength. * / If one toes out In walking or standing (as is easy in a stiff shoe) the strain on weak muscles is increased: moreover, there Is a slacking up of snpport on the inner side of the ankle and a rolling over inward (not really i falling) of the arch, with the result of lameness in the arch and la many other places from strain. Every foot can be rolled over Inward?If there were no roll in or out % wo could not walk lp rough groundbut this should not be the usual position. Certain races and certain peo* pie, to be sure, have low arches naturally, but without foot trouble. Nevertheless a foot which habitually rolls inward in standing is never natural. o From Sea's Depths.

The patron is allowed to look f at n long, serpentine bill of fare which' s seems' to present untold possibilities y for 50 cents, but after reading it all tlie way through and deciding to order everything in sight he stumbles * onto a few lines of brusque fine print > which eliminates everything but the n roast beef and iced tea. This ex-1plains why so many patrons rise up from a table d'hote dinner wearing a c wan and crestfallen look. p The table d'hote dinner was in- s vented for the. benefit of ppople who Q ! are never'hungry when it is their turn L c l \ donT see -<Xl|// 8 i VJEll, .

It is favored by hotels and a restaurants because it has been dem- , onstrated that almost everybody chaoses the wrong meat or vegetables n and Is stricken with a total paralysis of the app^lte. It is estimated thut s the American hotel makes more money off xilie table d'hote victim than it does off the six by nine sample room c with a North pole temperature. * t ^The main idea back of the table i d'hote dinner, however, Is to drive the a patrons Into the open jaws of the a la carte service. This Is a merciless sys- a tem by which two strips of> bacon and a plate of buttered toast are made a to cost more than a week's board at t the home of an esteemed relative. It I g requires more fortitude to sif down I. and look into the threatening coun- 1 tennnce of an a la carte menu with- s out Quailing than It does to wear the v legless anion suit all winter. - j The tuble d'hote dinner is doubtless nil right for city folk, but out in c the country, where people know how 1 to live. It will never be adopted as a c substitute for food. It ' (Copyright.) Serious Offenst. c "The judge didn't seem to know any- ? thing about the traffic regulations in- E olved.
