/ HIKING MAKES SOLDIERS’ FEET GROW LONGER U. S. Medical Corps Makes American Army the Best ‘School EXTENSIVE EXAMINATION Doughboys Suffer Less From ers Feet Than Civilians (N. E. A. Staff: Correspondent.) Washington,’ Aug. . said an army traveled on its stomach Uncle Sam—wiser than Bonaparte— says an army travels on its stomach and—its feet. For that reason there is probably no army in history that compares with ours for the attention paid to the‘ feet of the men and their shoes. The med- ical department of the army has spe- cialists who instruct both officers and men in the care o fthe foot. And they have co-operated in finding an army. shoe which, it is-claimed, is the supe: rior of any-on the globe. The claim is backed up by figures. Extensive. foot inspections were made of the soldiers trained during the latter half of 1917. The.men were examined when they were> inducted into service and just before they went overseas. Comparison showed that marked changes had-been favorable to better feet. ‘ This was attributed to two factors: the increased attention to foot health on the part of officers and men and the comfortableness of the army shoe, The whole secret of success is that the men are compelled ‘to take a shoe that leaves about two-thirds of an inch between the end of the longest toe and the end of the shoe. There is often lots of growling at this, but at the end of four to six months’ training the men find the distance between the toe and shoe is only about haif an inch. The foot has actually grown in length. » » i There is greater freedom of toe ac- tion, which in turn affects both muscles and joints. This is followed by lengthening of the ligaments, in- crease in’ size of the muscles, altera- tion of the anatomic, elements of the foot and greater ability to stand the stress of much marching. Not: only that, but corns disappear and there are less cases of ingrowing toenails. In fact, the men in the army who use their feet so much, Suffer less than civilfatis.

Amsterdam, Holland, Aug. 22.—Men are getting scarce in Germany—they are 6 millions scarcer than they were in 1914—so the “dlonde beast,” who, in pre-war days, considered himself the Jord of creation, now has taken on the stature oka demigod. ‘Elderly ‘men who confess to limited physical beauty and small incomes are advertising for wives with large fortunes. Often these advertisements read “would like to marry into a pros- perous factory or estate.” On, the other hand advertisements by. women seeking mates are just as numerous, or more so. The Cologne Gazette in a recent issue contains the follwing entioements for the ever- willing German male: - “I am seeking life companins fo the following ladies: “For the widow of a privy councilor, childless ,with $250,000., “For manufacturers’ childless, also $250,000. * “For widow of nobleman, in early forties, childless, wealthy. “Only unexceptionadle 1 gentlemen, such as high officials. manufacturers and land owners,.need apply.
