Limited in the little toe, diminishing, size of the great toe, the lose of prehensile power possessed by many primitive races, and other deteriorating changes. If the present trend continues, man will ultimately become toeless as well as - toothless." The doctor goes on to assert that walking is one of the best of an ex- ercises. The increase of professional and sedentary occupations seriously damages the health and efficiency of millions in modern highly 'civilized countries, lie says. Dr.. Hale gives the following im-' portant instruction about walking: "The feet were meant to be used as propulsive levers, not asspedestals. The knees and big toes should be us- ed in walking. Before the forward foot is placed on the ground, the knee of the rear leg should be fully straightened and the front part of this foot should give a shove to start it on the next step. In standing the kn,ees should be fully straightened so that the weight of the body is• borne on the forward part of the foot. When this is done, the person leans slight- ly forward and must' tense his oh- aiorainal muscles a little to keep his balance, One who walks on his heels holds himself perpendicular or leans backward to maintain his helanee. The result even in thin persoes is to, develop a protruding stomach." 0- ' MORRIS COUNCIL Morris Council met on Monday, January 11th in the Township. Hall with all the members present.

MADE, WITHOUT RUBBER So• there is a rubber shortage!. Well, what are you doing - about it,. Mr. Chemist? This question is asked by Maria Francis in .an article carrying the pro- vocative title "How Dry. I Am" in the C-I-L Oval, Continuing,. Miss Francis states that, when, the source of natural rubber' imports was lost to the United Nations as a result of the war in the Pacific.and they were left with what. stocks• they had. on hand, the chemist was already producing small quantities of man-made rubber, But this- production was quite , inade- quate to. affect. everyday consumption of teibber. Governments, chemists and industry got busy and huge new plants were, erected: for the- manufacture of increasing quantities of cleemieal. rub- ber from such *mice] rimmed re- sources as oil, grain., coal, limestone, salt and' water. But this man-made rubber will .he needed to supply the. heavier needs of war-the civilian must stilt realize the shortage and practise conservation and in many instances do without many of the rubber articles hitherto taken for • granted. Take raincoats for-instance,
