HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1917-06-08, Page 7Foot Strain and its Relation to Health. There probably is no other com- plaint so universal and so generously talked about than sore feet. This dis- ease has its origin with the adoption of the custom of wearing shoes. Not only is this a problem among civilians, but also among the military ranks, where foot, troubles form a large per- centage of the physical surveys from service. Tired, aching, burning and painful feet are very often the cause of a gen- eral, systematic depression of vitality. Occupations requiring one to stand on the feet constantly and for a great length of time are responsible for a large proportion of these complaints, and ill-fitting footwear exaggerates the tendency. It is commonly belived that all pain- ful feet are the result of fallen arches. This is by no means true, because many fiat feet are not painful and many painful feet are quite normal in shape. The heel of the shoe plays an im- portant part in the maintenance of the normal contour of the foot. Its orig- inal purpose was to keep the back part of the shoe out of the mud, but now grace, form and style seem to be its function. Proper shoes are, therefore, es- sential for the proper function 01 the feet. Every foot requires .,its in- dividual shoe. More especially is the subject of proper footwear essential to the busi- ness woman: Complaints peculiar to her sex may have their origin from malposition of the pelvis caused by shoes which tend to throw the weight of the body forward. The. general tired feeling often complained of by the shopgirls at the end of the day's work may be attributed to foot -strain from poorly fitted shoes. The remedy rests in taking advan- tage of the rest periods du-:ing work- ing hours by sitting down. When complaints are continued, in spite of these precautions, it is best to con- sult your family physician. Health Hints. The teeth are an important factor in maintaining health. Poor, irregular, decayed teeth cause foul breath, and o not permit the thorough mastica- 'a7i 'efi3d'dreo-''`i'fi n` creates"intestinai' disarders, caused by lumps of partly - masticated food lying and fermenting in the stomach. All food must be in a liquid state be- fore it can pass into the intestinal tract, so if this task be continually imposed on the stomach it produces distress. The mouth is indicative of character and as expressive as the eye. Refined and particular people do not neglect the appearance of the teeth. Taken for the amount invested, when neces- sary to have cavities filled and good dental work done, there is no part of the human body- that will give such good results.. A reasonable amount of care, a good dentifrice and a fairly stiff brush— all these give. pearly teeth, a clean, sweet breath, ruby lips and a feeling of perfect cleanliness. �A1 MIRAGES BOTHER TROOPS. Mystery of the Desert Interferes With Army Movements. "Operations had to be temporarily suspended owing to a mirage," says an official communication from the Diala front, describing a minor strate- gic movement there. It is a reminder that, despite modern war inventions, there is at least one front where world -old conditions still play a dom- inating part. Thirst, heat and mirage are among the most important factors to be considered in Far Eastern cam- paigning, just as they were twenty centuries and more ago. Although the why and wherefore of the mirage is better understood now than then, the British troops in Sinai and Mesopotami have frequently been held tip and mystified by the vision of lakes and trees, just as were the sol- diers of Joshua or .Alexander. On the occasion referred to in the communication, the mirage. was of minor character, priventing reliable reconnaissances. On a similar occa- sion some time ago, it produced the effect of the appearance of big Turk- ish reinforcements which necessitated caution until their phantom charac- ter had been established. Mirages seriously interfered with Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, and it was due to the investigations of a French scientist who accompanied that expedition that they were first traced to tricks of atmospheric re- fraction. ;?.

IIA Practical Design Everybody who has available land is cultivating it this summer, and women need practical clothes for this purpose. A plain waist of strong material with a short khaki skirt with bloomers and detachable leggings is a very practical costume, as the illustration shows. The skirt is cut in four gores, and the short length is 32 inches. McCall Pattern No. 7073 Ladies' Waist; in 7 sizes; 34 to 46 bust; and No. 7011, Ladies' Sports Skirt, with or without bloomers; in 7 sizes; 22 to 34 waist. Price, 15 cents each.

"There&R0 "Reg"ton" WHEN WILL THE WAR END? Defeat of aermasie Must Come on the Battlefield, gay Prisoners. How long is the war going to lest? Many a Canadian Is asking that question, and while prophets—mainly civilian --there are who have an idea that August or the autumn will see the end, men from the front, general- ly speaking, have no such hopes. End- ing the' war means first killing --yes, killing outright—a few hundred thou- sand Germans. That is how many lads from the trenches 'see it, writes a war correnpondent from London. A Canadian officer just returned has something of interest to say on this topic of the war's termination. "One of the prisoners .taken at Vimy Ridge was talking to me," states this officer. "The Hun was a non-corne. a bright young German with a univer- sity education, and a seemingly hon est, well-informed fellow, "'I . think the allies will win this, war,' quoth the German. 'We all do, for that matter. We know weshall be beaten now. But you will never win by starving Germany, The fight will have to be gained by the armies in the field. It will be a matter of killing men. These stories of Ger- many being in the last throes of hun- ger are absured. We in the trenches; are as well fed as you British. "`Of course there is privation among the civilian, population. But the aristocracy, the wealthy classes which control Germany, have plenty to eat. They fare as well as do the people in England. It is the mass of the German people who have to take, short •fare, and they cannot help themselves. The Junkers and upper classes have such power in Germany.. that the masses can do nothing. So the masses get along as well as they may on their rations, which are just' enough to keep them going. . "'We have been misinformed about the suceess of the U-boat cam- paign against England. They tell tlie people there that you are starving. Oh, yes, we know that we are beaten, but it will be a hard fight yet for you' " The killing off of Germans, such an important factor in ending hostili- ties, got an excellent start at Vimy. Canadians say the butchery of Huns was frightful, and it has continued. since then on a prodigious scale.

The fiercest bombardment conceiv- able would not 'be nearly so destruct- ive to human life as an ordinary shower if it were not for the protec- tive covering of our atmosphere. We live, move, and have our being at the bottom of an air room forty miles or more deep. Therefore, we are safe, not only from falling raindrops, but from meteorites and other wandering bodies from outer space. But, suppos- ing that it were possible for human beings to exist in an atmosphere that rose only to a few feet above their heads, and that storm clouds could form in the region outside such a low-grade atmosphere, then every raindrop would prove as fatal to earthly creatures as if it were a steel bullet fired from a dynamite gun. As it is, however, the resistance of our atmosphere so materially reduces the rate at which the raindrops fall that they are harmless; though were it not for the hindrance they encounter from the air each drop would fall with a velocity great enough to pene- trate ,the full length of a grown man's body. WASHING MONEY. United States Found Burning . Paper Money Too Expensive. Since the treasury note seems to have come to stay, England Jooks for the introduction of "money -washing" machines, such as are now in use in the United States. Owing to the dirty state into which it so quickly degener- ated, paper -mon y used to be auto- matically destroy` d, as it came to the United -States Treasury and replaced by new bilis, but this was an expen- sive process, and a few years ago one of the directors of that department invented a machine for washing and ironing the notes at a rate of some 20,000 e. day. A number of these ma- chines have now been installed, and have resulted in a great saving in the printing ofnew Ila eh. 4 Cottage cheese, say the government experts, is a good substitute for meat.

Robert's mother's admonishing to her small son generally ended with the words: "I'd be ashamed of you if you did so and so," and the word ashamed, therefore, was constantly in his ears. One day, after he had eaten up his little sister's candy, his mother said to him: "Robert, did you eat Dorothy's candy when I told you not to?" "Yes, ma'am," said Robert in a tone of triumph, "and I'm jest as ashamed of myself as I can be, so you needn't- be eedn t•be ashamed of me at all!" relherd's Liniment used by Physicians.
