Notice the thin, delicate bones. 

 Notice the number of joints. 

 But the ligaments, which give action to 

 these delicate bones and joints, you don't see. 

 They are too filmy to be photographed by 

 the X-Ray. 



The ordinary shoe sole, being stiff, rigid, 

 unyielding, is a constant annoyance to these 

 delicate joints and ligaments. That is why 

 your feet burn, throb, ache. 

 The sole of the Red 

 Cross Shoe is flex- 

 ible — it bends with 

 the foot— responds 

 instantly to the nat- 

 uralioot action, giv- 

 ing freedom, scope, 

 liberty to the delicate 

 joints and tendons. 

 The increased comfort 

 and freedom that 

 come from wearing the

little good these drugs do when fed in a stock 

 food consider the gentian, for instance. This 

 is the most important remedy found in a stock 

 food and really is the backbone of the prepa- 

 ration. A dose for a horse is one ounce, for a 

 cow two ounces (a tablespoonful), of the pure 

 drug; but as the stock foods or tonics contain 

 only about two per cent., the animal gets only 

 about one-fiftieth or one-hundredth of the 

 required dose of the drug if fed the "food" 

 in the quantities recommended by the manu- 

 facturers. It is obvious from the light 

 thrown on the subject by these experiments 

 that money expended on condition powders 

 is thrown away. 



Frenzied Fern Balls 



DURING the winter and early spring 

 fern balls are offered for sale in almost 

 all the florists' shops and department stores. 

 These will give more satisfaction if purchased 

 when in a fresh condition, or early in Decem- 

 ber, because, as this ball is nothing but a mass 

 of fern roots wound tightly around a central 

 mass of moss, it dries out rapidly when ex- 



■ 



Some of the strange forms into which fern balls 

 (.Davallia bullaia) are trained by the Japanese 



posed to the air. They come in all sorts of 

 odd and fantastic shapes. 



To start the fern ball into growth it must be 

 first plunged into a pail of water and left 

 there long enough to have the water thorough- 

 ly penetrate to the moss inside. After re- 

 moving the ball and before putting it in the 

 window, hang it up over a sink or other recep- 

 tacle that the superfluous moisture may drain 

 off and be caught. With conscientious 

 syringings given regularly, every day and an 

 occasional thorough soaking, this ball will be 

 a mass of feathery green ferns all winter. It 

 is a sort of resurrection plant and dies down 

 completely during the hot weather.
