Weak Feet and Ankles.

Mrs N NJ. H.: The trouble of which you
complain is common to women whose walk
ing is largely confined to smooth floors. So
little exertion Is necessary that the muscles
of the feet become fabby and lacking in
firmness and control hence when subjected
only occasionally to sudden twists. pro-
longed pressure and other effects incident
to walking over paved streets or country
roads, the weakness is manifest in blisters
and a painful sense OF strain. Again, the
habitual wearing of snug shoes which hold
the muscles perfectly rigid all day, causes
them TO become weak, losing elasticity and
not responding TO the extra. strain brought
upon them without fatigue. Shoes which
are comfortably large will do more to re-
lieve the torture of corns and bunions and
strengthen the feet by allowing room to
expand and the muscles to assert them
selves than any amount OF local treatment
in the way of applications. In fact, little
can really be done to cure the trouble until
the pressure is removed which causes
callous growths and weakness; last but by
no means least, perfect cleanliness and tonic
baths are essential. The latter are par
ticularly restful when the feet are very
sensitive. but you cannot expect immunity
from pain and weakness until, by careful
exercise, you have strengthened the
muscles. This is most readily accomplished
by a regular daily walk in broad shoes of
comfortable length. They should be loose
enough TO permit you TO draw the feet as
well as the toes backward and forward
easily A simple exercise which will
strengthen the muscles of the feet ankles
and legs, is to stand erect and rise slowly
upon the toes, coming down lightly on the
heels. Repeat until the muscles are tired.
At first it may be tiresome after four or
five efforts, but persistent repetition will
soon give strength and endurance. then you
Will be able to repeat the exercise twenty
times and do 1T several times a day Use
the following excellent liniment freely on
the feet and ankles after exercise and long
walks to relieve soreness and pain. One
half ounce each of spirits OF turpentine, oil
of hemlock oil of cedar and gum camphor

tightly corked and when using It rub in

her prime favorite was an elaborate da-

large emerald could be detached and worn

woman was seldom without the brooch or
its central stone. But a tremendous pear

new gem and is mounted in a setting of
small diamonds. This hangs in the ia

chain. Everyone asks Mrs. Mackay If she is
not superStitious. For some reason the
fiery opal never has been popular with wom-

of the opal or the fact that only the large
