TAKE CARE OF your SHOES.
What tn DO and How tn DO Ii to Make
Them Last.
Boot and Shoe Recorder.

~ tha 49,
Take care of your shoes-a little care
costs nothing. is so easy. makes them last
longer and look better. 1t pays to have
dWo pairs OF SHOES, ana h wear each be every
perspiration soaked. and they last much
longer and the wearer is healthier. If the
feet perspire, sprinkle a little. powdered
burnt alum in the stocking. Precipitation
rots leather. Don't allow any acids or salt
liquids to touch your shoeS-acid burns and
salt rots the leather. When the shoes are
stove. in the oven. on the register or radia-
tor; don't put EN- near the heat-let them
dry by themselves; too much heat steams
the leather and burns the life out of it
the shoes will crack and crumble.. Sweet
oil rubbed on shoes when they are dry will
soften the leather. If black shoes have a
the color will COM back. When using
dressings or b~lackings use the least you
wear longer. Always keep the heels
s~traight-this relieves the strain and makes
the shoe fit the rubbers better and keeps
the rubbers from wearing out at the heel.
Don't let the sole become far gone before
repairing. Don't have stiff soles put on
because they are cheaper. The uppers are
not as good as new and will not stand the
strain. When taking off the shoes use the
hands and not the feet. Unlace lace shoes
all the way down-theren be no taking-off
and putting-on strain. Buttoned shoes
should be buttoned whether on the foot or
off-that keeps the shape When you put
your shoes away. for next seasons wear.
stuff them full of cotton batting. pressing
it i'm as hard as You can. That will keep
them from curling up. Don't put rubbers
away with leather goods. as the leather
oil will blister the rubber. Patent leather
shoes must be kept I'm a warm place-don't
put them on when they are cold-in cold
weather look out for them. and don't go
outdoors until they have been on fifteen
minutes. Braids on the bottom of the
skirt wear out shoes more than velveteen.
Always nave shoes long e~nough-short ones
hurt the feet-throw the shoe out of shape
may force the upper from the sole. When
buttoning a shoe don't jerk the hook over
too quickly-it may cut the b~uttonhole.

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Chicago Shoe and
Leather Review of tomorrow will say: chi
cago packer hides are stronger all along the line
and IN several instances advances bave been
scored. II should be remembered that hides are
at their worst in March. At this time of year
the great dressed beef magnates usually are
unable to dispose of the hides they take OF and
prices are demoralized. This year exceptional
circumstances are operating to reverse all prece-
dents and hide prices are ruling highest at the
very time when the quality is poorest. one
packer has been a chronic bear for months, but
this week the others are almost as sanguine.
