disaster in American history.

The ordinary system of slack sizes and fittings is out of date now that people have become more particular about fit. For only perfect fit can give perfect foot comfort.

So the makers of K. introduced their new famous “Plus” fittings — shoes with the heel-parts one fitting narrower than the foreparts (see illustration.) Now if your foot is slim at the ankle you will be able to get a K shoe that fits closely at the heel yet allows-ample freedom for the toea.

It's the extra comfort and the extra smartness which have made K Plus" Fitting Shoes ao *popular.

NEW STOCKS OF K SHOES IN BLACK and TAN.

This picture shows convicts working in the smoke-filled yard of the prison to revive a fellow inmate who had been rescued from a burning tier of cells. Note the handkerchief placed over the face of the man in the centre background to combat the effact of the smoke.

James Turner, orchardist near Campbell, Cal., has per- fected an apricot cutting and spreading machine said to do the work of four girls at a fraction of their cost. The machina cuts the apricots and lays the halves on a dry- ing tray. It spreads about 48 trays.
