o» FOOT ‘STRAIN.
- .ed Auditor by the Court. to distribute the fund
Rudyard Kipling makes one of his
charaters in a military tale says "‘A
Soldier is no better than his feet’.
The man or woman occupation or
duties require them to stand or walk
for a greater portion of the day come
to a certain extent in the same: cat-
egory, they are no better than their
feet.
This is not alone due to their lack
6f mobility but to the ever present
strain on the nervous system when
the feet are partially incapatited.
Anyone who has suffered from the
breaking down of the arches of the
feet can appreciates how extremely
painful this is and how serious a
~ handicap. Oases of this sort are of
an extreme eharacter.
‘What people do not appreciate is
that worn down heels which throw
the weight of the body to one side or
other of the foot may cause a con-
tinuoue strain when walking or
standing. Many people who are par-
ticularly ‘careful in the care of their
hands pay less attention to their other
extremities.
Our modern shoemakers are turn-
ing out better shoes than have ever
been made in the history of the
world. They are less clumsy and
more serviceable. Unfortunately,
howevar, the dictates of fashion have
lead women and men to wear foot-
gear which distorts the natural shape
of the foot.
The Roman sandal which permit-
ted the toes to assume their natural
position and allowed each one of the
five to bear its portion of the weight
and give spring to the step was ob-
viously more sensible than the French
heeled pump. The latter throws the
weight of the body on the ball of
the foot and this causes a strain to
keep the body balanced. This may
be an unconscious action, bub it is
nevertheless extremely tiresome. It
is possible owing to the craftsman-
ship of present day, shoemakersjfor
both men and women to secure neat,
trim looking footgear which is sensi-
ble in shape.
To be comfortably shod is no small
factor in the preparation for ones
daily work and will prove a mater-
ial aid in increasing) individual effi-
ciency.

PACORERS SNAET
A CIVIC ENTERPRISE.
———.
Young Folks of Norwalk, Conn, Con-
duct Vegetable Displays.
men———
A children’s market is the latest in-
novation in the civic enterprise of Nor-
walk, Conn. This market is conducted
Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 o'clock
on the main street in front of the Nor-
: PW RY
walk hotel by the garden committee of
the Norwalk Civic league. On display
are all sorts of garden truck grown by
the youngsters of Norwalk in their
own gardens. For several years the
committee has awarded prizes for the
best six children’s gardens in town. A
‘few weeks ago the chairman, Miss D.
8. Pinneo, hil upon this additional in-
ducement to juvenile industry.
Prices are fixed by a representative
of the Clvic league after inspecting
the wares offered and consulting with
nearby tradesmen. Account is kept
of each child’s sales, and at the end
of the season a prize will be given to
the youngster with the best record.
“The market is part of our plan to
beautify Norwalk,” said Miss Pi=2ss
chairman of the garden committee.
“We encourage the childrem to plant
gardens, supplying the seeds free &s an
inducement. Our inspectors make sure
that the children are doing the work
themselves. So far, so good. But then
our small farmers had the fruits of
their labors and no outlet. So we
planned this market, and we are de-
lighted with the results. There has
been a decided increase in trade since
the opening day a few weeks ago.”
JAPANESE CITIES BACKWARD.
Do Not Compare With American Mu-
nicipalities In Civic Improvements.
Following is an extract from a con-
sular report from Consul George N.
Wish, stationed at Kobe, Japan:
Japanese cities are very backward
with “réspect to municipal improve-
"ments ps compared with American
cities. There will be a large field in
this direction some of these days, how-
ever, for American enterprise. There
is no city in Japan with a sewage sys-
tem and none that I know of in which
the streets are lighted or paved. Just
now the city of Kobe is engaged in two
large works, the harbor works and
waterworks, which have been lagging
considerably for lack of funds. No city
can undertake anything of this kind
without the permission of the central
government at Tokyo.
The incidence of taxation in Japan is
very high, while the wealth per capita
is very low, and the government at
Woman loves a’ clear, rosy. €o fel Tokyo has been making strenuous ef-
forts at retrenchment in order to re-
lHeve the strain and adjust the finances.
There are in this consular district one
city of 1,250,000 inhabitants, three of
about 450,000 and numerous smaller
ones, so that when the time is judged
favorable there will ‘be a very large
amount of this kind of work under-
taken. ‘I should advise Americans who
are interested in these various lines to
keep in touch with the general finan-
cial situation in Japan.
With regard to city roads, there are
no curbs outside of the foreign conces-
sion; and they are only repaired with
shingle from the seashore. This an-
swers the purpose, after a fashion, as
there is no heavy wheeled traffic, and
consequently the need for pavement is
not very pressing. One firm in Kobe
laid down at its own expense a short
strip of asphalt paving as an experi-
ment, which induced the city to pave
in this way the principal shopping
.| street for a short way, and the tram-
way company has put down granite
: blocks in one particularly busy street.
PLAYGROUNDS IN CITIES.
Rapid Growth of Amusement that Less-
ens Juvenile Disease and Crime.
A report given out recently by the
Playground and Recreation Association
of America includes the following In-
teresting statements:
Thirty years ago playgrounds were
almost unthought of. Today it has
been proved that almost any city, with
the help of the assoclation’s experi-
enced field men, can secure not one
playground, but a municipal recreation
system side by side with the school
system.
Jane Addams and Dr. Charles W.
Eliot, in a letter regarding the assocla-
tion, have said:
“There are few opportunities for con-
tributing more effectively to the less-
ening of juvenile disease and crime,
producing social and industrial eff-
ciency and increasing the joy of life.”
Birmingham, Ala.; Dayton, O.; Ish-
peming, Mich.; Kansas City, Mo.;
Lynchburg, Va.; Montreal, Canada;
Red Bank, N. J.; Scranton, Pa.; Sioux
City, Ia.; Tampa, Fla., and Wheeling,
W. Va., have all established year round
recreation systems during the past
twelve months, and Indianapolis, Ind.,
and Rochester, N. Y., have had assist-
ance in trying to develop more compre-
hensive municipal recreation.
Eighty-three - American cities have
pow what all communities need—play
leaders employed throughout the year.

GREATEST HOLIDAY
iS OF THE HOME
Espeeially Does the Day Upon Which
the Nation Gives Thanks for the
Many Mercies Extended Stand ae a
Revelation of Domestic Happiness.
nme
HERE is ample cause for the spir-
it of Thanksgiving day in the
place which the home holds in
American life. It is enough to
make any people grateful to be able
to depend upon such domestic health,
peace and happiness as prevafi fa the
United Stoten.
Thaabesteing Guy brings uncounted
family reunions. It means the return
to old hemes of those who have gone
far away. It reunites circles long
broken. If exalts the family idea,
the foundation on which ‘human so
ciety rests.
And eyery year the holiday of the
hearth, the day dedicated, informally
but net the less certainly, to the
home principle, finds the number of
happy households in America larger
than ever before. Every November
the picture of home gatherings, in
gratitude and peace, is painted on a
scale more vast and impressive.
The most extreme pessimist knows
in his heart that this is true. It is
impossible to reflect upon the progress
of the country and the gains made
by the people of the United States,
despite all drawbacks and mishaps,
| without realizing that in the broadest
sense the life of the nation is health--
ier, sounder, safer and happier than
ever. :
And the old-fashioned cornerstone
on which this national health and san-
ity of mind and spirit rests is the
family. It takes Thanksgiving to bring
into due prominence the enduring
foundation of the wonderfully complex
and elaborate structure of American
life.
When the siliivhs of widened family
circles are formed today, around well-
laden tables, the position of the Ameri-
can life is patent to every thought-
ful citizen of this republic. I Is al-
ways clear enough to keem-eyed
strangers visiting the foremost coun-
try of the New World.
‘While the great holiday of the home
gtands where it has always stood,
where it stands today, as a reveintion
of domestic happiness and family loy-
alty, there will be nothing vitally
amiss with the American nation. The
spirit of Thanksgiving day Is a moral
tonic and a guarantee of civic health.
The Best Thanksgiving.
There is one blessing which is never
taken away from those who want it.
It is worthier of our thanksgiving than
all other blessings combined. And
the more we give thanks for it, the
more we shall see in it to give thanks
for. This blessing is God himself.
Have we learned the joy of thanking
God for himself? Have we practiced
this form of thanksgiving daily? ' To
pour out our thanksgiving to God for
what” he is has a remarkable result.
It means that in the very act of such
thanksgiving we receive more of him
to be thankful for. It is as though,
when we thanked a friend for a gen-
erous gift of money, with every word
of our thanks that friend poured more
money into our hands. The outgoing
of our praise to God means the in-
coming of God. Let us take time
apart on this Thanksgiving day, alone
with God, to praise him and thank
him for what he is. A half-hour spent
thus with him, with perhaps the book
of Psalms open before us, can make
the day memorable in our lives.
Moreover—Ilet it be said reverently—
it will make the day memorable in
God’s own life; for the praise of his
children rejoices God’s heart. Shall
we not make it a day of thanksgiv:
ing in heaven because of our thanks-
giving on earth? —Sunday School
Times.
Unfortunate In Thelr Nature.
There will be some who will not
give thanks of any sort on Thanks-
giving day. With them the world is
all wrong. Justice has fled from the
earth, and all other men are untrust-
worthy. Some will wail that they
were born under an un 1 lucky Star and
look on the de bles

prehends the happiness of the
human race. It turns the heart
toward the Fountain of All Good and
so makes possible a greater recep-
tivity and a greater joy. Without
it even glories of heaven could not
confer happiness, and all the sweet
amenities of life would fail, With
it the humblest home may be blest
with angel visits, and one step up-
ward from the depths of grief may be
fraught with) a new-found Jo.
But shall we be grateful for the
mere incidents of life and forget to
be supremely grateful for life itself?
We murmur so much at the condi-
tions of life, and on a reluctant con-
cession we admit that this is better
than that, and so we express our
feeble thanks—praising the beauty of
a single leaf while murmuring at the
tree that bore it.
Are you truly grateful for life? Are
you glad that you were born? Do you
accept your life from the hand of
God as his richest gift—the containant
of all other possible blessings?
Life is a wonderful gift—the most
wonderful and the most blessed gift
that the Infinite God could plan for
the objects of his love. We have
hardly begun to learn how great it
is, how great it can be. Beginning
at birth, and through childhood,
youth and age, it stretches out into
the realms of Eternity—ever grow-
ing vaster and yet more vast in its
approximation of limitless possibil-
ities. If you had not been born you
would never have known life—the
sum of all blessings.
The unqualified acceptance of life,
with all its mystery and pain, all its
labor and weariness, and yet all its
sweetness and joy, and all its latent
gotentiality—that Is and forever must
be the basis of true gratitude, the one
great theme for thanks. Unless you
are grateful for life itself you cannot
be truly glad for anything that life
contains. But being grateful for life
itself adds a tinge of celestial glory
to every simple blessing and makes
Today akin to the vast Forever.
Greene is a word that com-
Glory of the Day.
The feature, the charm, the glory
of Thanksgiving day is in the fact
that it is the day of home coming,
home freedom, home love. It is a
protest in these latest days against
hotel life. It is. a memorial of the
most powerful civilizing and Chris-
tianizing agency of early American
life. It is a plea for the return to
housekeeping and to the domestic in-
terests and activities which do so
much for the culture of women and
so much more for the. training of
children, and which help manhood to
attain its soundest, richest, best. Long
may Thanksgiving day remain an in-
stitution in this land, for the call to
prayer and praise it gives, and for
the argument and appeal it provides
in favor of the much-depreciated “do-
mestic sphere.”—Bishop John H. Vin-
cent in the Independent.
Thanksgiving.
Long have we wandered and how far,
Yet home—'tis like a single star
That shines today;
Though we are scattered like the leaves,
The winds have rustled from the trees
To drift away.
Maybe it is for Mother's sake
‘We drop our care—at dawn to wake
For this one day;
Maybe it is just love of home,
Though we, perchance, must dine alone
And far away.
E’en though the day be cold and chill,
In every breast there is a thrill
of warmth today:
A lving spark—a tiny gleam
Of home, e’en though we do but dream
And far away

ner table may be made of pulled
figs, raisins and nuts, held tos
gether with toothpicks and topped
with marshmallow heads, the features
outlined in chocolate. Each of these
little figures should be mounted on &
flat foundation made of a thick, firm
cookie and the toothpick legs made to
stand upright by embedding them in
a little mound of chocolate frosting
which should extend outward to form
the feet.
Two large raisins, the stem ends
thrust into the toothpicks, form the
legs and two small pulled figs serve
as a dress, the figs being thrust on
the toothpicks so that the tapering
stem ends shall meet to form a waist
line. Two raisins are used for each
arm, ending in a single peanut for a
hand.

where chocolate features
with a toothpick dipped in melted
chocolate. A peaked hat made from
half a fig should top the grojesque
little figure.
For this work pulled figs are les
lutely necessary. Ordinary layer figs
will not do, as to make the bodies
of these figures the figs must be of
natural shape. These figs come
packed in small baskets and one
basket of figs at 25 cents will make
six favors.
Another style of favor can be fash-
iomed from short, thick sticks of
candy. Top the stick with a marsh-
mallow head, pinching it round, and
drawing chocolate features and a lit
tle curl down the forehead. Press a
couple of figs very thin and curl them
around the candy doll, keeping them
out from the body by means of tooths
2 held to the stick of zandy with
hite frosting. If the siiak of candy
is plain white, paint chocolate but~
ong down the front and rest the ab-
surd little favor on a square of
sugared popcorn.
If these favors are chosen for the
children of the family, the grown per-
sons may have something different.
Choose paper lorgnons for the wom-
en, the eyeglass portion representing
two miniature pumpkins and the long
handle simulating their stem. Cut
the pattern of a good sized lorgnon
from cardboard, covering the handle
with dull green crepe paper.
Cut four yellow pumpkins from the
crepe paper that comes so decorated
and cover the eyeglass portion of the
lorgnon on both sides. Cut holes for
the eyes so that these favors may
be actually used while at the table.
A bow of bright yellow ribbon tied
half way down the handle of the
lorgnon is a pretty addition.
For the men have long rolls of yel-
low paper tied at each end to simu-
late snap motto papers. Instead of
the usual folded paper cap inside cons
