always lie with my feet higher
than my he ! use no pillow for
my head, BIZ, my feet never fail to

the blood with which they have
been gorged by the days walking
and other exercises to flow back
into the other parts Of the body.
I always wear stockings half
size too large for me. The reason
for this is good one. During the
day the weight Of the body causes
the feet to spread. The stockings
should be large enough to permit
this spreading without squeezing
the feet. Be sure that your stock
ings are a half size longer and a
half size wider than the foot. Don't
be afraid Of wrinkles forming in the
stockings. The spreading of the
feet will take care of that.

described and rolling them round
and round until you reach the end
of the toe. Not only does this rest
the toes, but 1t preserves their
shape. A perfect toe is the shape of
a perfect cylinder. Some men and
most women have conelike or
pointed toes.
The greatest need of the feet Is
good circulation. Recall all the
feet you have seen. They have been
either yellow or red. If yellow, they
were not sufficiently nourished by
blood. Not enough blood reached
them. If they were red, 1t was be-
cause they had been abused by bad
shoes or by over-exercise, and too
much blood had flowed to the ex-
tremities. The feet were congested.
The healthy foot is pink. 1t should
never be white. The alabaster foot
the poets rhyme about is a symp-
tom of aenemia. Everyone should
study to get enough blood into the
feet, but not too much. In other
words, have before you the standard
of pink feet.
TO secure proper circulation IL is
not enough to pull and roll the toes.
You must revert to more baby
tricks and work them back and
forth. Practice drawing them un-
der and over the foot until they be-
come easily manageable, and press
them back with the hands, using
much of your strength. Wriggle
your toes up and down.
Five massage movements I in
variably use every night to coax the
blood into the feet. If 1t seems to
you unnecessary work, remember
that the feet are so far from the
heart that it is hard for that organ
to pump the blood that distance,
and we must help 1t.

KTY feet are perfect because I
4VA have always taken care of
them. Yours will be perfect II you
give them as much attention as
do. Twenty minutes a day will
make your foot a model of pedal
perfection.
Feet need exercise. Not merely
walking. Two or three miles day
besides the ordinary moving about
you do in an office or at home give
your feet all of that exercise they
need. Dancing may easily be over
done. A little tangoing one or two
evenings a week Is harmless. but
the hideous series of distortions of
the human body, the turkey trot,
hurts the feet as much as it does
the morals. It is an over-emphatio
dance, straining the feet as it does

cises for the feet, go back to your
nursery habits. Go back to the

Yes, the toes need pulling. Every
night before retiring / pull each one

; times. This makes the joints sup

Joint by which they are attached to
the foot. Fancy yourself a baby
