TO CARE FOR AND
IMPROVE THE FOOT
This Much-NegIected Member Is Entitled to Sed-
uIous Care-Size, Shape and Contour May
Be Improved by Proper Attention The I'M
portance of Proper Foot Coverings.

Every once in a while we hear some
new phase, some novel development of
the barefoot craze; but soon it drops ont
of public interest and public view. Aud
why2 Well, one shrewdly suspects be
cause the feet themselves are not "ht
for publication" that the following up
of the barefoot craze would bring %
light unsightly and distorted feet, feet
that depart so markedly from the clas-
sical standard that their owners are too
ashamed to exhibit them, even under tho
guise of health seeking. and of physical
culture fads.
That the importance of paying due at
tention to the foot is underestimate
there is no manner of doubt. The girl
who will visit the manicure's regularly,
who will have hair and scalp scientific
ally treated and taken care of, who goes
in for face massage and all the rest of
II, she is very likely to neglect her eee.,
and think that because they are not on
public view they don't matter in the
lesst.
One might talk at length about the
anatomical Importance of the feet; about
its sixty-four little bones, its network of
nerves, its delicate veins and blood vs.-
sells, without making the slightest i'm
preston; but just refer only once to the
discomfort which an ill-fitting shoe, a
tight or short stocking induces, speak
feelingly OF the causes that lead to corns
and bunions, Of the hobbling gait of the
girl who has deliberately MANNED her
feet by wearing the wrong shoe, and at
once you have an interested and eager
audience.
Fundamentally-and this is no joke or
pun-the foot is really the secret and
foundation of all bodily grace; and full
as much care and attention should be
paid to its well being as any other part
of the body.

Study your foot and learn just what

interesting and amusing story is told of
a New York shoemaker, one whose an
cestors made shoes for the kings and
queens of Italy for generations uncount-

known as a theatrical shoemaker, never
theless makes shoes for many private
customers. For one of those customers

caress them into shapeliness and soft
ness, let them be as pink and white as
are your hands, and take due care "
the toenails. The foot that is we'll cared
fer does not show blemishes and disfig-
urements; but there is no part Of the
body, not even a delicate complexion,
that will sooner resent neglect, and rub
it in so to speak, as will the foot.
The first point is cleanliness, an amnls
cleanliness. The million tiny 0orss of
the skin are closer in the foot than on
any other part of the body; and If the
skin is to fulfill all Of its physiological
functions those little pores must be kept
with open mouths all the time.
The foot bath should be warm, Fever
hot; the soap dissolves in the water, and
a tablespoonful of violet OF other toilet
ammonia will prove decidedly refreshing.
Scrub the foot we'll with a brush, and
scrub extra vigorously between the toes.
Here the skin is naturally more deiicata
because of lack of exposure, It sheds
quicker, and the dried skin requires to
be removed often.
Scrub the soles well, too; and then
rinse off the foot in clear water, just as
warm as the first. Dry it well, patting
off the excess moisture, H~1 then max

or Turkish towel.
Now is the time, after the skin is soft

He was our fathers darling.
A bright and happy boy;
His lin was like a summers day
or innocence and joy.
His voice, like singing waters
Fell softly on the ear,
80 sweet that hurrying echo
Might linger long to hear.
He was our mothers che 'ub,
Her life's untarnishd ght.
Her blessed joy by morning.
Her vision'd hope by night.
His eyes were like the day beams
That brighten all below,
His ringlets like the gait er'd gold
OF sunsets gorgeous glow.
He was our sisters play thing,
A happy child of glee,
That frolick'd on the pa1lor floor,
Scarce higher than our knee.
His joyous bursts of ples sure
Were wild as mountain wind,
His laugh the free unfetter'd laugh
or childhood's chainle.s mind.
He was our brothers treasure.
Their bosoms' only pride;
A fair depending blossom
BY their protecting sice;
A thing to watch and lerish.
With varying hopes ard fears.
To make the slender ire milling reed
Their staff for future years.
He is blessed angel;
His home is in the sky;
He shines among those living lights
Beneath his Makers eye.
A freshly gather'd lily,
A bud Of early doom,
Hath been transplanted from the cart
To bloom beyond the tomb.
