Certainly the people that are blessed

They are inserted inside the shoe with
r,t Increasing the size. They slip un-
ner the arch of the foot and support the
bone. The bones OF the foot are soft
and easily forced out of place.
Trained nurses are required by many
h hus.itals to wear steel arches in their
shoes. and if many other women who
are constantly upon their feet-women
who do their own work at home or
trose who for many reasons take num-
brrless steps a day-would wear artifi-

trouble would be averted.
When Your feet beg.n to ache in the
arches, do not make the mistake Of

with fiat sole lets the foot down into
an unnatural position, Just as the ex-
IRENE French heel raises it out of po-

the outlines of che coin were not as

cents under the buffalo, was a trifie

places that were not clear cut.

rushed the boats and were knocked

full that they may be recognized and
their infamy proclaimed? Not neces-
