PROPER CARE OF SHOES.
Application of Petroleum Ointment la
Good for Them.

An excellent preservative Of shoe
leather is petroleum ointment. If a
small quantity be applied to new
shoes it will soften the leather, and If
enameled leather will keep it soft
much longer than ordinarily and rem
der it less liable to crack. If worn
shoes are cleaned and blackened and
then rubbed with the petroleum ONT
ment their appearance and wearing
qualities will be much improved.
Have box of oats handy and when
the shoes are taken off remove all
mud and dirt, lace or button them, fill
half full with oats and stuff the tops
with crumpled paper. When neces-
sary to wear the shoes empty them
and they will be found to have kept
their shape, and will not be drawn If
they were the least bit damp when
taken of
