fingers, press the foot gently but firmly

purities from the pores of the feet and
with germ-laden dust from the streets.
Many times when the feet are tired and
irritated great relief will be obtained by
putting on a fresh pair of hose and ~
different pair of shoes.
Hosiery should be selected carefully ami
with as few seams as possible, as tho
pressure of a seam will often develop
painful corn or bunion. Do no. buy cheap
colored hose, for they often contain
poisonous coloring matter. 1t is safer to
