Th e Perfect oot
The perfect foot must have toes. They are
essential for maii~t ainin ghe balance
;
and while
one could imagine

without them, they are absolutely essential for
easy ~~~all i ing,r for running, dancing, cycling,
football, tennis, baseball, golf or other athletic
games. And if toes are essential, perfect toes
are essentizi; they need to be kept in the con-
diiioil in which they were when the owner carne
into the world.
The experts say that the perfect foot sl~ould
h e exactly one-seventh of it s on~ner's height.
Thus a ma11 five feet ten incl~es all n7ould have
a foot exactly tell inches long; but, trying
it
out
on three specimens in the office, all 11~d igger
feet tllali they were supposed to have, and it
may be doubted if the exper ts have it just right.*
They also say that the perfect foot should be
three times as long as its greates t breadth. This
seeins to be correct.

This shows that there is a great difference in
sizes and shapes of f ee t; and if there a re some
perfect ones there are i n a n y tirnes that number
that are just a little off standard.

seeking a job would do well to shine his shoes
and have on a clean necktie, and if a shine and
a
clean tie are good to get a job they are good
to keep it. An enlplopee cannot afford to have
an employer form tlie opinion that his mind is

Scripture
'The slipping of the foot,' 'the stumbling of the
foot,' 'footsteps' and 'frorn head to foot' are
Scriptural expressions ~vllich equire no expla-
natioa. To be "under one's foot" refers to the
ancient custom of co~lquerors' utting their feet
on the neclis of their future servants, as is men-
tioned in Joshua 10 24, anid shown on the monu-
ments of Egyp t, Persi a and Rome.
The rule among sculptors is that the length of the foot
should be one-sixth the height of the body not one-seventh
and
seems
about
right.
The Hebrew language is so extremely mode
that the word feet is made to stand fo r pa rts an
acts which a re unnamed; hence such phrases a
"'hair of the feet", 'water of the feet,' "oet~ve
the feet,' to 'open the feet' and to 'cover th
feet'.
Nakedness of feet in public mas a sign
rnouriling or humility. Moses removed his sa

the head should be level; the chest begins right
below the chin. After one has learned to stand
properly, one can learn to x-alk properly by
I\-alliing around the room without the pole and
then coine back and see if the correct posture
has been retained.
TSThen standing i t should be easy to put three
finge1.s under the inside of either foot, beneath
the largest arch. The body is really supported
by a tripod a t the end of each leg.
I f people are going t o stand they must have
legs. Sir Arbuthnot Lane, English surgeon,
made the statement tha t American girls have the
most perfect legs in the world. How he dared go
back home, after nzaliing a statement like that,
is an unsolved mysterj-. La Argentina, famous
Spanish dancer, agreed with Dr. Lane.
But a committee of the University of Missouri
scanned 100 pairs of feininine legs on the street
and voted that only five pai rs ve re good-looking,
thirty-nine pairs would do, and the remaining
fifty-six pairs were impossible. Needless to say
this committee remains nameless, but secure.
Dr. Eillmalz, New York osteopath, more
courageous, says he has looked at thousands of
legs, and out of every ten pair s six ar e lopsided,
because one leg is shorter than the other. That
is the reason why persons that are lost, unless
they have sonle visible objective, usually travel
i11
circles. Many lives have been lost due to this
fact. A person blindfolded can learn to wall1
straight forward only after long practice.
Explaining the act of walking Dr. L. M.
Shakesby, osteopath, says
The act of w alking brings into play all the func tions
of the foot. As the heel
is
laid to the
ground
the foot
should be relaxed. The burden which it carries
is
then
distributed unconsciously from the heel to the outer
side of the foot, and then across the ball of the foot
to the big toe. The step is then completed by means
of the broad hinge represented by all the toes.
lJThen stan ding , the w eight of the body shou ld be
transm itted down the legs to the heels, along the o uter
sides of the feet to the balls of the little toes, and then
across the ball of the foot to the ball of the big toe;
the inner long arches bearing only a portion
of
the
weight.
The United States Department of Agriculture
has done a good worli in trying to show farm
TI-omen that there is a correct posture for dish-
vashing, mopping, handling foods in the
oven,
sitting to prepare vegetables, etc. Posture is
habit, and habit is health or illness. Poor posture
means fatigue, backache, strain on the wron
part s of the body, nar row chest, round shou
ders, protruding abdomen, bodily distortion
and unattractive appearance.

Some people are such slaves to the automobil

young people use the automobile too much.
A party of 24 South Sea islallders n7ent on

The correct way to walk is to carry the ches

Other suggestions are that cold feet may be
helped by plunging them first in very hot, the11
in very cold water, for two minutes at a time,
back and fo rth three times in each. Massage is
also recommended for this.
Daily bathing of the feet in either tepid or
cold water is an excelleiit habit . Socks should be
changed frequently, as often as possible, and
preferably should be white in color, so as to
avoid coloring matter in
a
place where it i s sus-
ceptible of doing much harm.
A strong solution of tannic acid is said to be
a
splendid remedy for tender feet and for un-
pleasant odors a.rising from perspiration of the
feet.
Soft corns are helped by scraping a piece of
common chalk, putting
it
on the corn, and bind-
ing a s ag on
it
To get rid of hard corns soak
the feet half an hour (no less) in water hot as
can be borne, when the corn can be taken of
layers.

Has Double rain Lobes
Many liave wondered why humans ordina
use but one half of thei r brains, the other
remaining apparently idle. Occasionally an
cident occurs tha t shows the wisdom of
great Creator in this regard. Thus, in
Clinton, Ohio, an eleven-year-old boy was a
dentally shot by his brother. The bullet ente
the left lobe of his brain and split into six pie
The boy must have been right-handed, beca
right-handed people always use the left lobe
their brain. After the boy was shot he lost
ability to talk and reason, but is now learn
again to read and write and i s able to remem
much of what he previously learned in sch
His complete recovery is anticipated. He is pr
ably now using the right lobe of his brain ,
when fully recovered is liable to be left-han
or ambidextrous. The human organism is
most marvelous of Gods mundane creat
fearfully and vi-onderfully made. The man w
says "There i s no God" is in much worse co
tion than this boy who had half his brain
stroyed.
I n the effort to do something that would br
dishonor to the Creator, certain so-called "sc
tists" contended that some brains of the dar
races have what they termed "ape-like ridg
These ridges were supposed to show the hu
bler origin of the Negritic races. But now
Bekhteroff Institute of the Brain, of Lening

ridges" are as common among white scient
as they are among Negroes; and so that e
that.

is,
"is 'love9 ke ideal hasis fo r entering lliarringe?"
KO one x7ho has any reverence fo r the testi-
mony of the Bible ill decline to consicier rela-
tive frcts therein recorded bearing upon this
and the other questiol~s zt forth. TtThile it is
true illere n-ere variations in the manner o l ac-

So, then, we need uo'i coacern ourselves re-
garding the variations in the way that a wife

Tke Ideal fi fs%iue
Concisely, then,
it
may be set darn that "love"
so called is iiot the ideal niotive for marriage
In other words, it is notthe
lzatzlral
way for
a
ancn to acquire a wife.
We come now to the second question, "Is 'love
(commonly so called) of God,
a
blessing to His
creatnre mall ?
The writer of this article has profound reason
for being very comptlssioi~ate nd sympatlietic
t o ~ ~ a r dhose reading it who are "in love" with
sonie member of the opposite sex. Melisitive aild
on the defensive they usually are, yet greatly
in need of light upon their experieace. Such will
no doubt seek to assure themselves and each
other by reference to the ecstasies tha t associate
wiih their mutual regard, and to the amiable and
seemingly admirable qualities xxanifested by
thcir object. Eut the addict of opium also expe-
riences ecstasies while under the influelice of the
drug, aiid there are those who clisplay great
generosity and okher pleasing qualities after
imbibing too freely in alcoholic beverages.
TJTonlcl any snne person claim that the condi'iion
of iliese two classes of persons is a blessing
from the Lord"2n both of these cases, the in -
dividnals are not themselves, the powers of rea-
son and moral responsibility are teinporarily
disturbed and unbalanced by tlie drug or stimu-
lant used, 2nd the consequences of such disturb-
ance, being unnatu.ra1, are almost invariably
e7iI. Fulting this in other words, abnormal ac-
tion is ineviiably followed by abnormal reaction.
Now, if "love"
were indeed a blessing lrom tlie
Lord, no abnormal reaction ~~oulclesult from
it,
for the Scrip tnres clefiiiitely state, "The bless-
ing of the Lord, it mdcetli rich; and he addeth
no sorrow with it." There is no "morning a fter
the night before" coapled witla His blessings.
By thcir norlilal and reasoilable action they pro-
duce only 11orma1 and reasonable reaction, free
from sorrow, regret, bitterness, disappoint-
ments, etc.

RIKG the past few years times have been
more perilous than ever before. Cyclones,
earthquakes and distress aflEict the people every-
where. What is the reason? The Bible gives the
fnll and satisfactory answer to the question.
At

it
is ~vri tteli This
kno~v lso, th at in the las t days perilous tiines
shall come. TIT112t is meant by the ~ vords the
last days as there n s e d w h e meaning is, the
last days of the existence of Satan's rule on
earth. I n fur the r proof of this Jesus nTasasked
by
the disciples what ~vonld e the evidence of
Satan's uninterrupted rule ~f the world; and
He answered, in part, 'JVorld war, famines,
pestilences, earfchqualies, great distress and per-
plexity upon the people.' Tliat uriinterrupted
rule of Sa tan came to an end in 1914, and the
TVorld T a r fo l lc~ ~~ ed ,nd the distress has in-
creased since.
Th e
Devil Bno~x:s that there is
only a sliori time I IO\ ;~ until the great battle of
Armageddon \\rill be fought, in ~~liicllis power
will be completely destroyed, ~ n d:e is now en-
deavoring to bring all \Toe possil~len110il the

The coliditions non7 prevalent exactly fit ilie
prophecy, t11v.s showing its fulfillment. Any per-
son who is diligently obeying the colmnand-
me3is of Cod is doing good. Some men and
T-v-omcn re going about calling the attention of
the po p l e to the tru th of God's liingdom, and
are thas doillg good. Religious organizations,
rnled b selfish meri as above stated
i r i
the scrip-
ture, are nov- fdse accusers and despisers of
those ~ ~ h ore doing goocl. S ~ c helfish ones are
under the influence of Satan and falsely accuse
Jehovah's witnesses of TI-rongdoingand despise
them because tlicy are telling the people the
truth about God's provision for tlieir blessing.
Further describing those evildoers so manifest
in these last days the scripture says, they are
heady, highininded, lovers of pleasures
inore
than lovers of God . This is certainly true con-
cerning those who claim to represent the Lord
in the various religions organizations. The
scripture continues: 'They h a ~ e form of god-
liness, but deny tlie power thereof'; and the
people of good will are instructed by the Lord
to tu rn away f rom such. iTT1ly tu rn away froili
such evilcloers Because nothing call be gained
by engaging in controversy ~v it h hem or in
associating ~vit li hem. I t is the privilege of
those who love righteousness ta now set their
affections npon God and I-Pis 1;ingdom allcl to
busy tlieillselves by telling others about the
Lord and His kingdom as the o~ilymealis of
blessing.
At
2
Peter three the Lord further describes
the conditions in tlnese last days in these TT-ord
'First remember tlnat

The Aiiiericanisin Conunittee of the N
York Legion wrote a little boolilet, the aut
of which got his ideas from George MTashin
and the Declaration of Indepe~dence. le

Itnow, a t that time, tliat such ideas are now s
versive. The book came out for democracy,

tice, liberty, tolerance, freedom of teachers to
teach facts, freedom of scholars to learn facts,
and freedom of speech Por others as well as
Legionnaires.
After an awful row the boolilet was finally re-
pudiated by the Americanism Committee for the
whole couniry, and ihen by the New York Coun-
ty Coliimitiee of the Alnerican Legion, after
whiuli a rigid censorship was imposed until such
t:me as the sacred yogis or other guys have
i?gured out what an Americanism is that can be
gnaraateed not to rip, tear, ravel or run down
at the heel. It is still legal for an American to
lungh at otlicr Americans, even a t Legionnaires.
That
was a
nice piece of business planned by
the Black Legion, to put typhoid germs in milk
znd cottage cheese intended for Jewish custom-
ers. They even approached the city bacieriolo-
gist of Detroit, P\Picliigan, to asli if i t could be

conomic Modness
Human insmity expresses itself in economic
rn ad ~e ss , s well as in war and lesser fornis of
inurdcr. The one merges into the other; indus-
trial war takes a terrible toll. In the past twenty
years 320 worlimen mere killed in dust explosions
and property of the value of $35,000,000 were
desiroyed. In one plant devoted to processing
soybeans 117orlxnenwere Billed and 45 injured,

Fronl an unidentified origin, marked "Trend

Kot the weak, but the stvong, are the burdens
we
bear: we could carry the feeble today, and no one be
broken with heartache or care, if the strong would
stand out of the way. The strong, otherwise the rich,
are sh ovi ng more anxiety than ever before to do every-
thi ng possible for the poor-except get off the ir backs.

that white owners require $60 or $70 per nlont

and whisky selling to pay expenses.
the United States there are now between
5,000,000 and 8,000,000 young people, ages 16 t
25, n7ho can find nothing to do, Almost 3,000,00
of these are on relief-a condition for which
they are not in the least responsible.
Every seventh person in the United States is
on relief. I n the country it is worse than in the
city.
ll Human et terment Desperately Resis ted
As is to be expected, all human betterment
especially of the poorer classes, is desperately
resisted by those that fear to share thei
fortunes with those that have little or nothing
And they persist in this attitude even ~vhen l
history proves that, even for themselves,
it
is a
penny-wise and pound-foolish policy. In th
Berniondsey (England) Labor Magazine , an
old-timer tells what he remelllbers of condition
as they were:
I remember when children cf twelve years of age
wcrked twelve hours a d ay in coal mines for one pen ny
per hour. I remember \v11c11 farm laborers mere paid
a wage of 8s. to 10s. p er week. I remember when Lon
don dockers fou ght a nd won a prolonged strilre fo r the
"Dockers'
Tanner"-6d. pe r hour. I remember when
over 100,000 adu lt men were emp loyed on the railways
a t a weekly wage of un de r £1.
I
remember when Peek
Frean's paid their laborers and ovenmen 18s. per
week. I remember when t l le laborers in the tanyards
of Bermondsey thought themselves lucky to be paid
16s. and 18s. per week. I remember when retail shop
assistants worked 80 to 90 hours per week (no mid
week half-day closing) for a mere pi t tance and the
privilege of "living
in .
I remember when there wa
no Workmen's Compensat ion Act , no Employers
Liability Act, no Old-Age Pensions
no
Widows '
Pen
sions, no Health Insurance and no Unemployment
Insuran ce for the workers of this country. I remembe
when domestic sanitat ion was rare, when there were
no water-closets, but only stinking middens
