Many people abuse their feet by
combining them in cramped and i'll
fitting shoes. We talk learnedly of
the necessity for ventilation, and
then we encaSe the feet in air tight
coverings, and expect them to bear
up the weight of our bodies all day
long without a grumble. Or we take
pains to have our shoes long enough.
and then put on socks or stockings
half an inch too short, and wonder
where the cornS come from.
Almost as necessary as the proper
sEoHs is the proper toilet. At least
morning and night the feet should be
bathed and then manipulated to keep
them smooth and supple. Stockings
should be changed very frequently,
because the feet, owing to their con-
finement and the hard work they are
called upon to do, are nearly always
perSpiring. The same pair of shoes
should not be worn two days in sue
cession. 1t is an easy matter to have
two pairs in use on alternate days,
and is excellent economy besides, AS
it gives the shoes "A chance TO become
perfectly dry, and consequently they
keep in better shape and last longer.

Among other important work is that
