GODFATHERS
GODMOTHERS OF THE
!Y
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
NEW YORK, Sept. 24. Orphaned
boys enlisted in the United States navy,
and those having no near relatives are
to lie singled out for special care by the
members of a new organization, en
titled the "Order of Godfathers and
Godmothers of the Navy," which has
the official endorsement of the navy
department, through Assistant Secre
tary hranklin I). Roosevelt.
The organization, founded by Mrs.
Henry Murray Calvert of Brooklyn, al
ready has commenced active work by
getting in touch with navy chaplains
and secretaries of the Naval Young
Men's Christian Association, to get
names of enlisted men wh have no
near relatives. The orders members
are to take an individual and parental
interest in these men, with the idea
that their general well-being might be
improved if they knew someone cared
about them. This care would be ex
pressed by sending letters to the men
and little gifts of remembrance-and by
keeping track of them throughout the
war. It is the hope of its organizer that
the order may became nation-wide in
its scope and contribute a useful part
in war relief work.
Mrs. Calvert, through recruiting work
got in touch with many fine young men
who had no near relatives and she was
impressed by the loneliness of their
lives. She became convinced these men
could be helped if a personal interest
was taken in thfm by men and women,
who, unable to render any other ser
vice, coaid thus, ''do their bit" for their
country.
Anyone in the United States more
than 30 years e ld may become a mem
ber of the order by sending word to
Mrs. Culvert, 169 McDonough street.
Brooklyn, that he or she will act as
godfather or godmother for one or
mure of the enlisted men of the navy
who have no near relatives. The only
requirements is that a stamped, self
addressed envelope be sent by pros
pective members and in this will be
returned the name or names of as many
men us have been requested. Then the
new member taks it upon himself (
herself to write to the godsons, ren
dering w hat aid and cheer possible
through the times of trial ahead.
In a letter commending the work,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose
velt says he believes it will "do much
for the happiness and contentment of
the orphaned boys so befriended."

How Many Bones In
Your Feet?
Most likely, you don't know. Few people do, and it is usually a sur
prise to learn that there are so many and that the foot is about the
most complicated and delicately constructed part of the body. That
is, perhaps, tho reason why at least 75 per cent of all adults have
some kind of foot trouble. V
Dr. Wm. Schol!, of Chicago, perhaps the greatest living authority on
foot troubles and their mechanical correction, says that not one
adult in one hundred has feet that are completely free from defects.
He has made a life study of the subject and has patented a great
number of appliances for correcting defective conditions and giving
comfort.
One of Dr. Scholl's personally trained assistants is to be in this city
from September 25 to September 25 and will conduct a demonstra
tion of the Scholl appliances in the NELSON SHOE COMPANY
each day while here. He will examine feet and give expert advice
