Too many women are suffering from foot troubles. The extent of the artificial anuliance business is one proof of that. Socialists declare that 75 of women, and a goodly number of men have foot troubles which they weren't born with. The human foot is not to blame. The trouble lies in the kind of shoes worn by so many people.

It is calculated that the average person takes from 4,000 to 8,000 steps a day. There are 26 bones in each foot and Nature requires that each bone play its part in every step. The feet are one of the important nerve centers of the body. Prominent nerve specialists often svart their treatment on the feet of their patients. A greater degree of happiness will will be found among people when all shoes are made to harmonize with the human foot, instead of compelling the poor foot to assume the shape of a shoe.

THE NEED OF A SANATORIUM Plans are now being made for the starting of an educational campaign in order to influence the voters of Reading and Berks county to the needs of a municipal hospital or county sanatorium where' tubercu losis sufferers can be assured of proper care and treatment. Through the efforts of the "Reading sanatorium for the treatment of tuber culosis and prominent citizens of the city, a petition was recently submitted to the county commissioners, signed by the required number of citizens, which compels them to get the sentiment of the voters of the county at the next election as to whether or not they want such an institution. The committee in charge of the work feel that the county should either take over the Nevereink Mountain sanatorium or build a new hos pital where tuberculosis can be treated properly. In gathering material for the ed ucational drive, practically all authorities on tuberculosis agree that county tuberculosis hospital is the most practical way of caring for developed cases of tuberculosis and the best preventative measure. STATE ANXIOUS FOR IT.

The Pennsylvania state depart ment of health is most eager to see Berks county have a county hospital. In a recent letter to the Reading sanatorium for treatment of tuberculosis, Col. Edward Martin, commissioner of health of Pennsylvania, says: "Tuberculosis is a transmlssable and largely a preventable disease. "It is transmitted from those who have it; most easily and assuredly to children of a family cramped for living quarters, a member of which is in the final stage. In the months of dying he blights those about him.

SHOULD HAVE SANATORIUM. "For the protection of these children, of other contacts, and for the lessening of future burdens on the community and the state, those suffering from advanced tuberculosis should be cared for in a sanatorium which, from a humane standpoint. should be near their homes, that their last days may have at least the solace of some human contact with those near and dear to them The establishment of a hospital for the reception and care of these peo pie is not merely a practical expres sion of sympathy for the afflicted; but is an efficient means of pro tectlng the public at large from the 'white plague. "Such action, while supplying an immediate and urgent need, Is a long step forward in that campaign of prevention which is the keynote of modern sanitation; moreover, It Is credit and an honor to a county or a municipality to take this step.
