''The throwing of salt on the side
walks is injurious and harmful to the
shoes" said local shoe man People
usually spread salt on their slippery
walks to melt the snow The salt does
its work to perfection, but the one put
ting it on forgets to clear away the
slush. Others walk over it and the
salty water quickly penetrates the shoes
and makes them porous. Where a shoe
has once been made porous it will al
ways be so and wet feet is the result
You might as well throw away your
shoes then for you will never be able to
use them except in very dry weather 1t
is said that two hours walking on streets
covered with the salty ooze will pene-
trate the best of soles and when the feet
are once wet they not only suffer from
cold, but there is depressing influence
from which it may prove serious later.
Sand seems to be the best thing to throw
on walks to keep pedestrians from slip
ing. Unless followed by shovels, salt
should not be sprinkled on walks. Elk
