THE FIRST CONCERN.
—In last week’s Watchman some
advice on care of the feet was re-
printed from Good Health maga-
zine. Footnotes from other well-
known authorities are added today
with the hope that they may prove
helpful to the many suffering from
various types of foot troubles:
— Modern footwear is really a
serious menace to the health, beauty
and youth of our young women.
The exaggerated high heels now be-
ing worn by young girls and all
women within the child-bearing age
is truly a matter of great concern
to those who have these subjects at
heart.
Those who possess marked grace
of bearing and who walk gracefully,
usually possess slender feet with
long, great toes, because in walking
correctly the toes strike the floor
first. If this method is not natural
it is excedingly difficult to acquire.
When the heels are used in walking
it gives rise to much awkwardness.
The body is thrown out of equilibri-
um, and fatigue, weakness, strain,
and deformity result. =
While with exaggerated high heels
the body is thrown forward, in heel
walking it is thrown backward.
Heel and toe walking
tiguing than running.
The shock given the spinal column
and brain each time the heels strike
the ground is well proved by the
manner in which sufferers from head-
ache involuntarily prevent this by
cautiously tiptoeing. Rubber heels
offer a compromise, for they mark-
edly reduce the concussion and are
a boon to heel walkers.
The native fleet-footed Indians
stand and walk beautifully, with
much dignity and poise; their feet
do not deviate outward, but point
straight ahead. The great toe, how-
ever, does not point ahead; that is,
it does not turn on a straight line
with the inner border of the foot,
but turns slightly inward. The soft
moccasins in no wise interfere with
the normal development, functions
and actions of the foot,
You can determine how well! your
feet have been shod by examining
the worn shoes. The wearing marks
on the bottom of the sole and heel
of the shoes are a sure indication
as to whether or not the weight of
the body is properly balanced.
It is not enough to have shoes of
proper size; they must also conform
to the shape of the foot. Women
must alter their gait when changing
from high heels to low heels, which
explains why so many assert that
they cannot wear low heels. It is a
matter of adjustment, of poising the
body on a newline. Some are truly
uncomfortable in low heels, since
the hollow of the foot is not per-
fectly fitted.
The cuban heel is not hygienic,
as the plumb line falls in front of
the heel, whereas the slightly concave
commonly called the “French” heel
is better because it extends further
forward, supporting the instep.
The length of the vamp is very
important, yet it is rarely considered
in ready-to-wear shoes. The length
of the arch and the vamp of the great
toe determine the style of the vamp
that can be worn with comfort and
therefore with beauty by each in-
dividual concerned.
I receive hundreds of .letters from
my readers about foot disorders.
Everyone of us has at some time or
another complained about aching,
burning feet. Some times it is be-
cause we are wearing the wrong
kind of shoe. More often however,
the discomfort has a more serious
underlying cause.
A doctor friend of mine origi-
nated the term “athlete’s foot.”
This term is used in place of the
old names of “toe itch,” “hobo itch”
and “ringworm,” which have an un
pleasant sound and often prevent
the public from freely discussing
the malady.
I am told that last year ina single
university out West 54 per cent of
the students were afflicted with
ringworm of the feet. At least
one-half of the adult population suf-
fer with this trouble at some time
or another.
Athlete’s foot, or ringworm, gen-
erally begins between the toes and
spreads gradually along the sole and
sides of the foot. The skin becomes
reddish and scales, which are either
dry or moist, cover the affected
part. When peeled off these scales
leave an inflamed area. There is a
slight itching.
The condition spreads slowly. For
this reason it may run along for
weeks or even months without at-
tracting attention. But in the later
stages the nails become brittle and
yellow, and finally very much thick-
ened and nearly black.
This ailment is caused by a veg-
etable fungus, commonly found on
the floors of gymnasiums, swimming
pools and bathing places. ‘When
the feet are moist, as following a
swim or shower, the germ takes
easy root. The infection can be
easily transmitted from one mem-
ber of aclub or gymnasium to many
is more fa-
other members of his particular
group.
The proper treatment should be
started immediately and the patient
must remain away from swimming
pools, gymnasiums or other places
where there is an excuse for walk-
ing barefooted.
Ringworm can be cured by the
application of a mild antiparasitic
ointment,
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
They say life is a highway, and its
milestones are the years, !
And now and then there's a tollgate
where you may pay your way with
| tears; z
Its a rough road and e steep
road, and it streches broad and far,
But it leads at last to a golden
town where golden houses are.
— Vacation really means a change
from the ordered routine of life—
doing something quite different. For
instance, take meals—most people
eat in a dining room. They do it
from habit and because it is . the
logical place to eat. But even that
can become very monotonous. If
you are fortunate enough to have
a porch or a sun room—and most
homes these days do have one or
the other—try serving some meals
out there. There’s more air and
more light and its something dif.
ferent.
Ah! but, you will say—who’s go-
ing to do the extra work—and
take the extra steps! With a little
planning—there need be no extra
work or extra steps. Naturally the
night when the menu is a hot roast
with hot vegetables would not be
the night to serve dinner on the
porch. But during the summer
months this sort of menu is not
particularly appetizing. At the same
time, cold meals night after night
are just as bad. There is a happy
medium. A boiled chop or a small
steak with fresh peas or asparagus
preceded by a fruit cup—or tomato
juice cocktail and followed by a
crisp salad with an iced drink makes
a delicious meal. And all this can
be done right at the table if you
have the proper electric table cook-
ers— a versatile thing—reasonable
in price. Briefly, it is an oblong
affair consisting of two sections—
similar to a waffle iron—the
grids however, being plain aluminum
and removable. There are two
heating elements—one on top and
one on the bottom, In the closed
position—this cooker is a broiler or
toaster. Just preheat it for ten fo
twelve minutes and you are ready
to broil right at the table, thereby
being sure of appetizingly hot chops
or steak even when served on an
open porch. No chance of their
being cooled in transit. Then by
removing the grids you have a
heating element plate on which you
can set a dish for the vegetables.
Boil a quantity of water in the
kitchen and finish cooking the veg-
etables on, the table stove.
On this same table cooker you can
prepare delicious toasted sandwiches.
By the way, this type cooker at-
taches to any outlet.
An electric coffee percolator is
also a big aid to porch meals, You
can have your hot coffee or iced
coffee, whichever you prefer. Of
course if you have an electric re-
frigerator you have your bowl of ice
cubes, handy for the most delicious
kind of iced coffee—the kind made
with freshly percolated hot coffee.
This same electric percolater can
also be used to boil water for tea.
Just leave out the coffee basket—
make your tea with tea bags in a
china tea pot and you have delicious
tea made as it should be made for
either hot tea or iced tea.
—_The matter of setting a table
on a porch may mean a few extra
steps but if you will put all the
dishes and linen and silver on a
tray or on your tea wagon you can
get that much done in one trip.
Then make a second trip with the
foods. Try it a few times—you’ll
find the change and the holiday
feeling will compensate for a few
extras.
— Now about this matter of cool
rooms—many firms in the electrical
industry this year have rather
banded together and put a little 8”
fan on the market which sells for
$5.00, The fan is adequate to keep
the air circulating in a good sized
room. Don't place afan so that the
breeze blows directly on you; that’s
not necessary. It's the dead lifeless
air that is so oppressive. Just keep
it stirring and youll be astonished at
the relief from oppressive heat.
Juggling your budget so as to get
one of these fans for every room
will be a splendid investment. They
last for years and the new models
are the quietest things inthe world.
About these comfortable beds—
we'll take it for granted that the
majority of people already have
good springs and mattresses; its
getting to be a national habit. But
clean fresh sheets and pillow cases
just as frequently as you can pos-
sibly arrange to have them, is the
acme of cool comfort in summer.
This of course brings up the
laundry problem expense, extra
work and all that sort of thing.
And of course frequent changes
might mean more linens unless—
well we've seen a washer that will
answer all these “ifs” and make fre-
quent changes possible and practical
without the buying of more linens.
In the first place this washer is
compact enough to fit in the average
kitchen and it can be used without
set tubs. It makes doing a 6 Ib.
wash each morning almost auto-
matic. You simply put in water,
soap and clothes; touch the lever
and walk away. At the end of 15
or 20 minutes, drain off the wash
water and after rinsing the soap
suds away with the filler hose, run
in a hot rinse. Touch the lever
and again walk away, letting the
washer rinse the clothes mechanic-
ally. Then transfer the clothes to
a spinner basket right in the same
tub and spin the water out. Then
run more clear water over and over
the clothes in the basket until you
are satisfied as to their cleanliness
or if you prefer, put them back in
the tub for another clear water
mechanical rinse; then spin them
as dry as you want them. If you
want to iron direct from the basket
just spin them until they are of
the correct dampness for ironing
and there you are.

VOCATIONAL AGS. TO :
TAKE PROJECT TOUR.
Plans are just about completed
for the first out-of-county project
tour for the boys enrolled in voca-
tional agriculture in Centre county
and their parents, which will take
place next Monday, August 11th.
Last year the boys visited pro-
jects in Centre county, but this
year they have asked to be taken
to some other county to see the
work being done there, With this
in mind a tour of the projects in
Snyder county has been arranged.
The group will assemble at Spring
Mills in time to leave there prompt-
ly at 8:00 a. m. From Spring Mills
they will drive directly to Middle-
burg, Snyder county, and meet the
group from that county. Several
projects in and around Middleburg
will be visited before lunch. A
basket lunch will then be served at
a convenient place along the route.
After lunch the party will move on
to Beavertown where they will visit
projects of the boys of the Beaver-
town vocational school. After com-
pleting the project visits the Centre
county group will return home by
way of Lewistown and Centre Hall.
It is hoped that as many as pos-
sible of the boys and parents will
take this opportunity of seeing the
work of other boys in the vocational
schools of Snyder county.
Invitations have been extended to
the county superintendent of schools
and his assistant; members of the
State-department and the depart-
ment of rural education at the col-
lege; the county agent and the
teachers of vocational agricultiire.
A standing invitation is extended to
any or all persons interested to go
along on this tour.

JUNIOR DEPARTMENT
AT THE GRANGE FAIR.
The program for the junior de-
partment at the Grange Fair, Cen-
thre Hall, August 23 to 29, has
been completed. It includes several
very interesting events for the boys
and girls.
The winners in each type of pro-
ject will receive the $3.00 first
prize, offered by the Grange asso-
ciation, and an additional $2.00 do-
nated by the Centre County Bank-
ers’ Association, provided he goes
to the State farm products show
next winter. The committee in
charge feels everyone should see the
State show and are expecting to
use this method to help some boys
get to Harrisburg. The boys will
be taken in cars, so that the total
of $5.00 will cover about all of
their expenses.
boys and girls of High school age
will be held Wednesday morning, at
10 o'clock. Very fine prizes have of the State Game Commission will
been ordered for this contest and be larger than ever this year and
the usual large number of entrants will include a specimen of nearly

the Needs of Millions
Meeting
of People
The low-priced automobile has brought greater opportunity
and added hours of recreation to millions of men and women.
ECAUSE the automobile is such an im-
portant factor in the lives and pros-
perity of so many people, the purpose of
the Ford Motor Company is something
more than the mere manufacture of a
motor car.
There is no service in simply setting
up a machine or a plant and letting it
turn out goods. The service extends into
every detail of the business — design,
production, the wages paid and the sell-
ing price. All are a part of the plan.
The Ford Motor Company looks upon
itself as charged with making an auto-
mobile that will meet the needs of
millions of people and to provide it at a
low price. That is its mission. That is
its duty and its obligation to the public.
The search for better ways of doing
things is never-ending. There is cease-
less, untiring effort to find new methods
and new machines that will save steps and
time in manufacturing. The Ford plants
are, in reality, a great mechanical uni-
versity, dedicated to the advancement of
industry. Many manufacturers come to
see and share the progress made.
The greatest progress comes by never
standing still. Today’s methods, however
successful, can never be taken as wholly
right. They represent simply the
best efforts of the moment. To-
morrow must bring an improve-

ment in the methods of the day before.
Hard work usually finds the way.
Once it was thought impossible to cast
gray iron by the endless chain method.
All precedent was against it and every
previous experiment had failed. But fair
prices to the public demanded that waste-
ful methods be eliminated. Finally the
Abetter way of making axle shafts saved
thirty-six million dollars in four years.
A new method of cutting crankcases re-
duced the cost by $500,000 a year. The
perfection of a new machine saved a
similar amount on such a little thing as
one bolt. Then electric welding was de-
veloped to make many bolts unnecessary
and to increase structural strength.
Just a little while ago, an endless chain
conveyor almost four miles long was in-
stalled at the Rouge plant. This conveyor
has a daily capacity of 300,000 parts
weighing more than 2,000,000 pounds.
By substituting the tireless, unvarying
machine for tasks formerly done by hand,
it has made the day’s work easier for
thousands of workers and saved time and
money in the manufacture of the car.
All of these things are done in the
interest of the public — so that the
benefits of reliable, economical
transportation may be placed
within the means of every ome.
