SHUN LOOSE SHOES.
They Give the Feet as Much Trouble
as the Pinching Kind.

They Give the Feet as Much Trouble
as the Pinching Kind.
Seven persons out of ten suffer ex-
cruciating pain at one time or another
with their feet. A single corn no lar
ger than grain of sand can take all
the snap and vitality right out of you.
Two-thirds Of modern foot troubles
are due to the fact that almost every
one-man, woman and child--wears
shoes too loose. The shoe itself may be
correct as to size and shape, but 1t is
not fastened tight at the only point Of
control-namely, the instep.
When you set your foot upon the
floor or pavement in the act of walk
ing the shoe adheres, and IL It be loose
ly fastened over the instep the foot
pushes down into the toe of the shoe.
At certain spots on the foot this slip
ping causes friction. These spots are
the soles Of the feet, the tops, ends and
inner sides of the toes, the great and
little toe joints and occasionally even
the back of the heel.
When the friction thus caused is con-
tinued hour after hour and day after
day one or more of these spots are al
most sure to become infiamed and sore.
A slight thickening, called "callous,"
is formed. AS the friction and pres
sure go on the resulting callous may
thicken up unevenly. Then it is called
a corn.-Woman's Home Companion.

Where coal Is encountered immedi-
