tender feet, either by inheritance or through
having worn ill-fitting shoes, and when
corns, bunions and ingrowing nails have
once encroached upon a foot IL is hard to
rout them entirely, even by course of
commonsense boots worn large enough to
give absolute freedom 10 the poor. ill-useG

will be glad TO know that experiments have
recently been MADE with new material
which may supersede leather for boots and
shoes 1t is made OF fax prepared with
oil, and looks exactly like leather, but is
much softer and more supple. which, as ev-
