THE FIRST CONCERN.
EXTRACTION FINALLY CURED THE
OLD LADY.
“Al” Dashbach’s latest story is
considered by many Dashbach fans
to be his best.
It concerns a well-to-do old lady
who suffered from a persistent pain
in her foot and who was treated,
for the usual handsome cash con-
sideration, by a variety of specialists.
One found after careful examina-
tion that her teeth were at fault,
and of course had the teeth all re-
moved.
Her foot pain nowise abated, how-
ever, after the teeth were gone, and
there was nothing to do but consult
another specialist, who convinced her
that the whole trouble was with
the tonsils.
So she consented to another ‘“ex-
traction,” and the tonsils followed
the teeth, and with the same re-
sult—the pain in the foot persisted.
She went to other specialists, and
had other extractions, all the time
getting more desperate with the
continued pedal pain and the lack
of relief, especially as it seemed
there was nothing more to extract.
But just then happening to go to
her shoe dealer with her troublés
she finally recovered her waning
faith in extractions, for the shoe
clerk found a nail in her shoe, and
when that was taken out the pain
in her foot completely disappeared.
ADVICE ABOUT NEGLECTED FEET
BY WELL-KNOWN AUTHORITIES
Defective feet are a widespread
evil and are often the source of
much inconvenience and suffering.
Women are especially prone to this
trouble on account of wearing high
heels. These throw the weight of
the body unduly on the ball of the
foot and cause a misalignment of
the whole body. The bones of the
front part of the foot are misplaced
downwards.
Flat feet are quite common in
both sexes, The pain due to them
may not be confined to the feet but
be felt in the back. If you place
your wet foot on a surface which
shows the print plainly, the arch
should leave no mark. That is,
the impression should be narrow
between the ball and heel. If the
arch is lowered, the print is broad
along its whole length. ;
Of course the adoption of an ap+
propriate shoe is the first measure
for overcoming foot troubles. Some
stores now have an X-ray apparatus,
so that the body structure of the
foot can actually be seen. In gener-
al, a wise plan is to raise the inner
side of the shoe. When this is done,
the body weight rests more directly
on the outer or supported part of
the arch. With flat feet, the ten-
dency is to wear down the inner
side of the heel and sole.
WHO SUFFER MOST FROM FLAT
FEET? :
Flat feet are especially common
among nurses, clerks, waiters, bar-
bers, motormen and other persons
whose occupations compel them to
stand most of the day. The diffi-
culty is also found in very fat. peo-
ple, whose weight is too much for
their ligaments.
A simple exercise to benefit such
feet is to curl the toes under re-
peatedly. In a short time an amaz-
ing control over the muscles of the
toes can be acquired. Marbles and
pencils can readily be picked up.
One individual learned to move
every toe at will, just as he could
his fingers. Indeed any group of
muscles which are ordinarily little
used, can with practice be made
remarkably flexible,
Another exercise is to have the
operator stretch the foot forward,
flex it backward and twist it both
to the right and left. The patient
will soon learn to do this properly
without assistance. He should also
rotate the front part of the foot. A
good movement is to stand with
the toes together and the heels
about twelve inches apart, then ris-
ing on the toes. Another is to
walk on the outer side of the foot.
Walking, first with one heel, then
the other, about an inch above the
ground, is recommended. Relief is
sometimes obtained in from two to
four weeks but a thorough cure is
not likely in less than three months.
In severe cases, the exercises must
be repeated daily for a year.
The most effective remedy for
flat feet is wearing Chinese slippers.
These can only be kept on the feet
by curling the toes under. The exer-
cise obtained in wearing these slip-
pers a few hours every day is the
best means we know of for strength-
ening the muscles of the soles of
the feet. In incipient cases, the
difficulty may be practically over-
come. In advanced cases, however,
the ligaments have become stretch-
ed to such an extent that gymnas-
tics alone will never effect a cure.
In such cases, relief may be ob-
tained by wearing shoes so con-
structed as to give to the arch of
the foot the support that it requires.
It may surprise many people fo
know that the feet should be di-
rected straight forward, and that
to toe out is to twist the muscles
Into an unnatural position. It is
known that the American Indians

SARAH SIMPSON COOKE
OF REVOLUTIONARY DAYS.
(Among Pennsylvania’s notable wo-
men nominated for inclusion in the
Book of Honor to be placed in Straw-
berry Mansion, Fairmount Park is
an ancestor of the well known
Cooke family of Centre county.)
Uncommon courage and uncom-
mon fortitude have been, almost
invariably, the common traits of the
women who lived in Pennsylvania in
the days of the First Frontier.
They were not swayed by any dream
or hope that later generations would
find a saga in their lives. They sim-
ply saw their duty and did it in
day-by-day and matter-of-course
fashion, some a little better than
others.
One of these women of extra-epic
stature was Sarah Simpson Cooke,
daughter of one frontiersman and
wife of another.
She was born in Paxtang Town-
ship, Lancaster County, in 1742, her
parents being Samuel and Rebecca
Simpson. Her grandfather, Thomas
Simpson, was one of the first set-
tlers in that locality, his name ap-
pearing upon the assessment list of
Conestoga Township, Chester County,
afterward Donegal and then Pax-
tang.
Samuel Simpson was a well-to-do
farmer, according to Dr. William
H. Egle’s “Some Pennsylvania Wo-
men During the War of the Revo-
lution,” but his farm was so remote
from town that his children, in-
cluding Sarah, received only a lim-
ited education and most of that at
home, since the few months of win-
ter school barely sufficed to instill
the rudiments, -
“But in household accomplish-
ments Sarah Simpson excelled,”
Dr. Egle’s record declares. “She
could spin and weave, and there-
fore was personally fit to become
the wife of a frontiersman.”
So in 1762 she married William
Cooke; son of John Cooke, who emi-
grated into Pennsylvania, from near
Londonderry, Enniskillen, Ireland.
“In 1767 Mr. Cooke removed his
family to Fort Augusta, now Sun-
bury,” Dr. Egle’s narrative contin-
ues. “He was elected the first
Sheriff of Northumberland County,
October, 1772, and at the opening
of the struggle for Independence
was one of its firmest supporters.
He was a member of the Committee
of Observation for the County, of
the Provincial Conference of June
18, 1776, and of the Constitutional
Convention in July following. On
the last day of the session of the
latter body he was chosen to be
colonel of the battalion to be raised
in the counties of Northumberland
and Northampton. This became the
Twelfth Regiment of the Pennsyl-
vania Line, being composed of rifle-
men, was employed upon picket
duty and covered the front of Gen-
eral Washington's army during the
year 1777, while detachments were
sent from it to General Gates, ma-
terially assisting in the capture of
Burgoyne. The regiment was so
badly cut up at the battles of
Brandywine and Germantown that
it was disbanded, and Colonel Cooke
mustered out of service. He was
appointed Deputy Quartermaster of
Stores during the years 1778, 1779
and 1780. In 1781 and 1782 he was
chosen to the General Assembly;
commissioned one of the Justices
October 3, 1786, and in January,
1796, an Associate Judge of North-
umberland County. He died at the
town of Northumberland, April 22,
1804.”
It was during the year 1775 that
the Rev, Philip Fithian, in his jour-
nal, alludes to the invitation of
Sheriff Cooke to stop with him, re-
marking that ‘Mrs. Cooke was cer-
tainly an agreeable woman, hospit-
able and kind in the extreme.”
Dr. Egle’s book refers to the war-
time activity of Mrs. Cooke: “Her
husband in the patriot army many
duties devolved upon her, apart
from the care and education of her
children. Amidst the gloom, her
strong old Calvinistic faith buoyed
up her heart, and her firm reliance
upon the God of Battles nerved her for
whatever might befall her. Finally
her husband returned from the war,
relieving her anxiety. During the
summer of 1778 their house was a
hospital aswell as an asylum where !
the wounded and sick, the helpless
women and children received care
and succor. Mrs. Cooke was never
weary in well-doing.
“When peace dawned, plenty was
added to their stores for in a let-
ter to a brother in London in 1789,
Colonel Cooke writes: You desire
me to make out such alist of books
as Johnny (a son) requires to com-
plete hislibrary and you would send
them in the spring and I thought
that would be sufficient at present:
and yet I would take it a kindness
if you would pack up a piece of
chintz along with Johnny's books,
that would make each of the girls
a pattern of a gown.’ He also adds
that he had ‘just completed a grist
mill two and a half miles from here,
which goes very well."
The Johnny referred to was the
second child of Colonel and Mrs.
Cooke. In 1792 he was made a
captain in the Fourth Sub-Legion of
the United States Army, serving
with a Northumberland company
under General Wayne at the Battle
of the Miami, assisting in checking
the power of the confederated In-|
dians in the Northwest Territory. |
The other children were Mary and
Jane, who married, respectively, |
Robert and William P, Brady, sons |
of Captain John Brady; Rebecca,
who became the wife of William |
Stedman; Elizabeth, who married !
Thomas Martin, and Sarah, who be- |
came the wife of William McClel-
land, and later of Judge Samuel
Harris, of Lycoming county. wil- |
liam Cooke, the other son, married |
Martha Lemmon, daughter of James |
Lemmon.
Mrs. Sarah Simpson Cooke died |!
in 1822 in Northumberland county, |
and she is buried in the town of
Northumberland. — (Philadelphia

MILITARY FUNERAL FOR
WORLD WAR DOG HERO.
A military funeral for
world war hero and the only dog
said to have been decorated for serv-
ices with the
ditionary force in France was held
in Dennison, Ohio, on June 17. Gas
he inhaled in the
puppy nearly twelve years ago, to-
gether with his advanced age made
it necessary to chloroform him.
“Bing’s” body was interred in the
Soldiers’ plot in Urichville Union
Cemetery, but his skin was pre-
served and mounted by a taxider-
mist.
“Bing” a bulldog, was the only
canine to receive a bonus from the
United States Government. He was
assigned $60 a month as a soldier's
pension, being listed as a ‘“bonedig-
ger.”
It was when “Bing’s” nose scent-
ed gas in time to save the lives of
many soldiers that he was cited and
decorated by the French Govern-
ment.
In the New York American, O. O.
McIntyre commented as follows:
“The bronze statue at the entrance
of Hartsdale, (N. Y.) burial ground
for four-footed friends is dedicated
to: “The War Dog, Man's Most Faith-
ful Friend.” The alert position, first
aid kit strapped to back, the bat-
tered canteen and helmet at the feet
tell the tale of unforgotten hero-
ism,
“The finest and most interesting
dog cemetery in the world is the
Cimetrie des Chiens in Paris. In
it are buried seven dog heroes of
the late war and fresh flowers are
placed on their graves daily.”
MRS. PATTERSON ;
BECOMES EDITOR
A woman whose family for three
generations has been outstanding in
jouranilsm has assumed the title of
editor-in-chief of The Washington
Herald.
Mrs. Eleanor Medill Patterson,
granddaughter of the founder of
The Chicago Tribune, thus becomes
the first of her sex to hold such a
position on a metropolitan news-
paper. She began her new duties
August 1st.
The task which Mrs. Patterson
takes over will not be entirely new
to her. She has done considerable
newspaper work and in addition has
writen several novels.
She signed these latter as Coun-
tess Glzycka, a title she recieved on
her first marriage. Her second hus-
band, Elmer Schlesinger, a lawyer,
died several years ago.
Mrs. Patterson had sought to buy
the Herald, but was unsuccessful.
It is owned bythe Hearst organiza-
tion.
The woman editor's brother, Jo-
seph Medill Patterson, is publisher
of The New York Daily News and
The Liberty Magazine. The late
Senator Medill McCormick, whose
widow is seeking his seat, was her
first cousin,

CUTS OF BEEF.
A less tender cut of beef may,
with skillful cooking, be made almost
as delicious as a choicer piece.
There are times, however, when one
wishes a special treat of a tender
piece of meat.
In general, the tender
derloin, and short cuts of rib. Less
tender cuts are chuck, shoulder, flank,
round, rump, neck, plate, brisket
and shank.
The best method of cooking ten-
der cuts is to sear the meat at a
high temperature until a brown
coating is formed, which will shut
in the juices. Then reduce the
heat and finish cooking. Do not
cover the meat, nor add water.
Turn the meat to insure even cook-
ing. Pour off accumulated fat to
prevent frying.
For less tender meats, heat, mois-
ture” and ‘slow cooking are
needed to dissolve the connective
tissie. Sear the meat in a small
quantity of fat; then reduce the
temperature, add a little, water,
cover tightly and cook slowly until
tender. This process makes good
gravy as the added water extracts
some of the meat juices.
Less tender cuts are used in meat
loaf, croquettes and many ways in
which ground meat is a foundation.
Vegetables are often added to make
delicious. stews. Flour, added be-
fore the meat is seared, absorbs
and holds the juice.
GAME FARMS PRODUCE
60,000 RING NECK EGGS
About 60,000 Ring-neck pheasant
eggs have been . produced at the
two State Game Farms so far this
year. At the Fisher farm in Mont-
gomery county there are now over
3,000 young birds in the rearing
field and at the Jordan farm in
Lawrence county over 5,000. The
latter farm expects to raise in the
neighborhood of 7,000 birds, while
the Fisher farm expects to raise
around 5,000 birds. Refuge keepers
have already been furnished about
15,000 eggs many of which have
already been hatched. Some ref-
uge keepers have reported an al-
most 100 per cent hatch.
Much has been accomplished in the
operation of the game farms since
their establishment last summer
and the results have been very sat-
isfactory.
Results

| Juniata county have also been very
‘good. There are now over 500
young birds at the farm, all coming
along in fine shape.
Game protectors have been fur-
nished approximately 2,500° eggs and
| over 29,000 eggs have been given to
' sportsmen.
DESOLATION IN WAKE OF
GIGANTIC GOLD DREDGES.
Automobile tourists through the
northern part of California are liable
to have their attention attracted to
mountains of cobblestones frequent-
ly seen. Sometimes these piles are
50 to 60 feet high and several hun-
dred feet long. They are never beau-
tiful and add nothing to the land-
scape.
but there is little prospect of
their removal. These piles are the
accumulation of the gold dredges,
gigantic constructions which eat
their’ way through the land and
leave a trail of desolation.
Farm lands and orchards are bought
up by the operators and left in
ruin, for the land is useless for any
purpose whatever after the passage
of the dredges. These machines cost
about a quarter of a million dollars,
but the cost of operation -is very
small. A large quantity of the
earth must be treated to recover
a small quantity of the yellow metal,
but at that the business is very
profitable. The stones taken from
the soil are useful only to grind up
"for cement, but the piles standing
| today will offer crushed stone suf-
‘ficient for the demands of the en-
tire country for many years.
