STURDY OLD SHIP ~ DOOMED FOR JUNK Glory of the Seas, Built in 1869, Now Useless Tacoma, Wash,, Ieb. 17.—An old clipper ship, the Glory of the Seas, which thirty-five years ago set a re- cord for “windjammers” between San | IFrancisco and Australia, is being | broken up here following the dis- | covery that barnacles have eaten into her hull beyond repair. The stout old ship was built at the famous Donald McKay yards in Bos- (ton, M in 1869 and, since then, s sailed on all the seven seas and | called at most of the important ports laround the globe. Some years ago the Glory of the | Seas was purchased by a Tacoma fish company and was put in. the scrvice between Puget Sound and Alaska. Fach spring she wouNl spread her canvas and sail away to the north, carrying’ supplies and employes for the Alaska canneries operated by the company, and, in the fall, would re- | turn with the season's catch.

We hope not, for that would indicate a fallen or weak arch. Between the ball of the foot and the heel the arch should curve up on the inner side of the foot, and not touch the floor. To strengthen the arch muscles and keep the foot healthy and comfort- able, wear the Cantilever Shoe. Ior the shank is fiexible, it bends WITH the foot. It encourages the muscles to exercise. Cantilevers correct and prevent flat foot by strengthening the muscles that surround the bones of the arch. The natural inner sole line provides room for the toes in Cantilever Shoes. This and the set of the heel encourage correct posture. The under arch scle hugs the foot, when the shoe is laced, and supports the instep restfully and healthfully. Cantilevers are good looking shoes, and so comfortable you will like them perhaps better than any shous you have ever worn.
