WHAT'S INA SHOE?
Leather, of Course, but There
Are Lots of Other Things.
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, j
Reading the Story of the Material#
That Ara Used In Turning Out Mod
ern Foatgear la Lik« Taking a Laa
aon In Commercial Geography.
What's In a shoe?
Take a factory tag that tella how ft
shoe Is made. Count on it sixty differ
ent Items of material; also liferent
Items of labor. That slums many of
the things In a case. And there may
be others.
Whence come the materials? When
you look at a shoe you sea the four cor
ners of the globe pulled together In It.
Begin with the bottom, or sole, made
from the hide of a Texaa steer, tanned
In oak from Pennsylvania forests. And
the heel is of South American dry hide,
tanned In hemlock bark.
It's a kldskln shoe you hare? It
looks It, although one never can tell
for sure these days. The vamp Is made
of a goat of Brazil It Is tanned with
chrome from New Caledonia, la black
ed with logwood from Jamaica and Is
glazed with glass from Austria.
The top Is of a kid skin tanned in Ni
geria, brought to Massachusetts and
there retanned and finished. The tongue
is of sheep leather. The sheep grew in
Argentine. The leather linings are of
skins of sheep that grew in Australia.
The skins wore tanned in sumac from
Sicily.
Some of the leather is treated with
"fat llqoor," an emulsion made of cod
oil from Labrador and acids from one
of the new American chemical labora
tories. .
Tet only a few of the things that the
tanner used in making the shoe have
been mentioned. He also uses in his
mystery of tanning "dlvl-divi" from
the East Indies, valonla from Turkey,
myrobolans from Indir. and algarobllla
from the .'and knows where, salt from
Michigan, sawdust from Maine mills,
egg yolk from Russia, blood from Chi
cago and degTas from France—and •
few other thlngB from a few other coun
tries besides. •
If there's any fellow under the sun,
from an Eskimo to a Patagonlan or
from a Hottentot to a Korean, who has
a hWe or akin to sell, he can get his
price for It If he will show It to a Yan
kee tanner, for the Yankee tanner if
buying pelts everywhere.
The leather of which the shoe Is made
la fastened together with thread of Irish
linen or Georgia cotton. The lacings a.r«
of Egyptian or long fiber Sea Island
cotton, tough and strong. The buttons
are of bone, pearl or paper, American
or European. The eyelets are of brasa,
coated with celluloid.
The tacks are made by the million In
Massachusetts of steel. Tho same la
true of the heel nails and of the ahanka
In the arches of the shoe. If a person
prefers wood pegs that won't scratch
hardwood floors In the heels of his
shoes he may get them at a New
Hampshire shop.
The welt may be of pigskin. The pig
was killed In Packingtown, and his pelt
was tanned In Massachusetts. His
bristles were saved and made Into
brushes for cleaning the ahoe.
Between the outsole and the Insole
of the shoe Is the "filler," a composi
tion of rubber from Ceylon cut with
naphtha and mixed with ground cork
from Portugal.
The Insole perhaps la of good berk
tanned leather. But It may be of fiber,
coated with a sheet of leather. The
box toe may also be of leather. But
more likely It Is oi felt, filled with
shellac to make it stiff. Like w he the
counter may be of leather. But more
likely it is of leather board or celluloid
or of scraps of leather pasted together
with flour paste and compressed.
The felt Is made from waste woolen,
perhaps old coats. The shellac la from
the lac tree of India, and the leather
board is made down in Maine oC shred
ded leather, hemp and Jute from India
and other things.
Xet a few more tilings are usea m
the making of a shoe. Tbo last, over
which the shoe Is fashioned, is of ma
ple from Michigan. The patterns, by
which the uppers are cut, are of paper
board, made from old n craw papers.
They are bound with brass. The
brass Is stripped from them after they
become obsolete, and it Is used for
bra ting the steel dies wltht which leath
er Is cut for several parts of the shoe.
The brazing Is done in an electric flame ;
or in a flre of Pennsylvania coal.
The snowy white lining is made from
cotton of Dixie land. The top facing
is of silk made in New Jersey mills,
and the gold leaf on it may be truly a
product of El Dorado.
The edges of the heels and soles are
burnished with wax, which comes from
Brazil, and the shoes are blacked with
a blacking of which wax is a chief part
There are forty-seven other things In
a shoe. But enough already has been
told. What does a fellow expect these
days of high prices? Enough already
has been said to make a lesson in
commercial geography incorporating
the four corners of the globe, as well
as a few things above and a few things
below the globe, and ifs all for the
price of one pair of shoes.—Salem News.
Remember This.

cult thing for a beginner to learn about
golf?"
"To keep from talking about it all
the time."—St. Louis I'ost-Dispatch.

CIVILIAN ttAS NO BHOW
when blue jacket around
This paper is in receipt of a let
ter from Alex Baxter, dated "at New
London, Conn., May 20th, and In it
he states that he is huingry for news
from the north and wants about a
dollar's worth.
Alex states that he is now work
ing for the Navy Department buiIdl
ing engines for submarines, and
says that New London is a great
submarine bas© and the home of
many kinds of Dezil engines.
Mr. Baxter says he wants to come
back to the north as ho does not se^
anybody from Alaska, but he adds
that he may stay in the east until
after the war as ho is now in the
service and he wants to do his bit
until after the German is whipped.
In speaking of the h. c. of 1. he
says that "Alaska prices for every
thing prevails here."
In closing he says, "This has
been a very cold spring but it is
getting warmer now and. everything
looks fine, but I do miss those long
sunshine days of Alaksa. Every
thing is oooming here and there
is a great shortage of labor and an,
abundance of pretty girls, there
are over ten thousand sailors here
so a civilian has no show, so there
is little dhance of me bringng one
back to my igloo tn the north."

A Bit of Advice
First—-Don't Delay. Second—Don't
Experiment.
If you suffer from backache;
headaches or dizzy spalls; If 70U
rest ooorly and are languid to the
morning; if the kidney secretions
are irregular and unnatural in ap
pearance, do not oelay. In such
cases the kidneys often seed help.
Doan's Kidney PllLs are especial
ly. prepared for ki<'-»ey trouble —
they are recommended by thous
ands.
Read the following statment:
Mrs. M. E. Gagan, 1013-A Florida
St, San Francisco, Ca>, says:
"I had dropsy and other kidney
trouble and was miserable. My
back couldn't hare given me any
more misery if I had broken it
My kidneys were weak and my tee^
aukles and handg became swollen,
as a result. I felt so miserable,
run down and depressed I wae dis
couraged. J could hardly bem# over
because my back hurt mo so much.
Doan's soon strengthened and regu
lated my kidneys. The swellings
went away and I was again, well and
had all my former strength."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy^
get Doan's Kldey Pill®—the name
that Mib. Gagea had. FoaterMll*
