TMs week we haw a.letter that required a little imM|«tie>. When you real it, you -will probably smile at tkrtlmpt «f them trying to set 8. I. H. enrolled. Bat, we find that the letter is written in cood fsith. based on facts and suchprwlilspi and on Monday most, of ma attend a speaker's meeting *t Beta, wfth similar groups firm« Bgfn, Aurora and otter towns in thevaUer Uu good faith, intended only to help persons who may need Imp.

Far fee it from us to want to reform anybody. Bat, we see merit in any organisation that helps a man who wants to help himself. "Deer Mr. Walsh: "Among any hundred know who/take a cocktail or two fore dinner, or stop in a tavern on their yny home from work for a brief elbow robbing with the fellows and a couple of teem, there will be one or two who dont stop at this. They will be the fellows, , who drink too nrach on or at a party--and then drink more when they get home, or when they gut up next morning. There Will -be one or two of whom their friends say, "Gee, John's sure got a load on.' or, 'Oh, dont mind Maggie, you know how she is when she's had a tew too many.' "There also may IM a friend or relative of yours or your readers, who have hsd trouble with the local or highway police, dot to their behavior or their automobile getfctyr out of control after an evening's drinking. Or, more rarely, you May know a man or woman who is in rati toWKi because of heavy drinldnff--neglecting their families, getting in dutch' on their jobs, toeing their friends or perhaps losing their health. "What I'm leading up to is this: Here is a large group of people who once were--notice I said *were'-- hopeless, derelict drunkards. Many of them have been confined in private and state institutions--not to mention jails! They had made a complete mess of their lives or were well on the way to it. Then they found something called the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, and now are well again, prosperous again, normal again. " 'Alcoholics Anonymous' is composed of a group of people who used to be publicly, noisily, almost constantly drunk, and who are now quietly ' (anonymously) constantly sober. They have their lives under control again, and usually are much better, more successful, than they ever were before-- and a darned sight easier to get along with. "There were just two members of Alcoholics Anonymous about ten years ago-- two hopeless drunks in Akron, Ohio-- They decided to help each other, then others joined them. Now there are twenty-five thousand men and women all over the United States who stay sober by helping each other. "Those in the Fellowship are glad to hear from and to help any person who sincerly realises that alcohol, while it means sociability and pleasure to others, upsets their lives and has too much power over them. Such people will learn that there is a. sound medical reason why they so easily drink too much-- but doctors readilr admit that wheras they can help only three out of 100 persons who come to them with chronic drunkeness, Alcoholics Anonymous, has a record of success with 75 out of every 100 who come into the of the Anonymous part who feds that he or she; wiD can them and offer McHenry fans will be irieased to loam that Walter Bolger has ben resident ofthe McHenry County tTaseball League.

Poorly Fitted Shoes Cause Fool Poorly fitted shoes causa a high percentage of foot discomfort, and individuals need instruction concerning the type of shoe which is both practical and good looking. CaPousea that eventually develop Into permanent corns, always show that tender places of the feet'faced protection. The cause is poorly fitted shoes, bad positions in steading, weak metatarsal arches, or rough shoe linings. The soft corn between toes crowded together is the result of too narrow shoes. The pain from pressure may be relieved by putting a tiny piece of cotton between the toes. To make a narrow shoe more comfortable, the shoemaker may put the shoe on a last overnight and stretch it at the place where it is'too narrow. The next pair ef shoes purchased, however, should be larger or have a slightly different last. The feet should be bathed daily and well dried between the toes. Cold salt water wiU help to relieve very tender, swollen feet. Do not cut corns, but file them with an emery board. If the great toes are bent out of position, restore them to health by wearing shoes with a straight inner line. A suitable, wellfitting shoe permits the foot to retain its natural shape without any Knox* if compression or discomfort. I Murph W.
