Powder Your Feet
to Keep Them Warm

IL there is an epidemic Of grip"
or colds" around, the same plan
Of using powder on the feet may
be used before going out, but this
should be done more sparingly, be
cause il is not wise to clog up the
pores if one is walking.
In order for the feet to KEEP in
good condition, there should be q
healthy amount Of perspiration. To
use powder too freely, when the
feet are to be used, is a first class
way of starting DuniOns.
Yet it is better to risk this, on
occasions of extreme cold, than TO
have cold feet. Feet thoroughly
chilled are a menace TO health Ii
has been estimated that from ten
10 fifteen per cent Of all the sick.
ness that affects Americans in Win
ter time comes from cold or damp
feet. One may use powder, then,
but only when needed, and certain
~ not all the time.
But at night, when the feet have
little or no work TO do, there is
comparatively no danger. and many
people who now find cold feet IN
bed a great discomfort-it may
even keep one awake-will find
great relief through this very
simple remedy.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1916-11-16

r. any one suffers from cold feet,
particularly in bed, it's a trick
worth knowing to powder them.
Just before retiring, If a man or
woman with a poor circulation will
chafe the feet briskly until they get
warm and then dust them over
literally with talcum powder, or
corn starch, or almost any powder,
for that matter, they will be much
less likely to feel cold during the
night.
Goodness is due, largely, to the
evaporation of perspiration from
the skin, for, as is well known,
anything which vaporizes quickly,
freezes. It is this principle which
Is employed when ethyl chloride,
and similar substances, are used
for local anaesthetic.
The talcum powder, when busted
over the feet operates in two ways.
II absorbs the perspiration, for one
thing, thus giving less opportunity
for evaporation, and consequently
giving the blood vessels less work
to do TO keep the skin warm; and,
for another thing, il fills up the
pores and thus decreases the ex-
erection of perspiration.

son who henceforth accuses you Of

The poor foot muscles are put
to some very difficult adjustments
when they balance the body upon

the wide ball of the foot. So It is
well TO do some foot and ankle ex-
ercises before and after skating,
and especially 1t is important to
practise them in the intervals be-

x row that artificial ice has
M made skating a reliable Win
ter sport many a person is
struggling 10 do fancy skating who
never tried 10 balance himself upon
the ice in childhood And of course
it is difficult TO acquire new habits
OF motion in ones mature years.
To learn in ones room the bal
aRce and essential movements Of
plain and figure skating may not
have occurred t many persons as
the proper mode nf procedure, yet 1t
is the safest and shortest route for
grown-ups who have never acquired
the ice habit.
Children quickly win confidence
upon the ice. 50 they may be given
a pair Of skates and allowed TO
work out their own salvation. But
the grown person is so distrustful
OF the strange element that he
tensely holds himself back despite
the assistance Of the most prof,
eient instructors
The mind must dominate the body
IN this as in all other effective phys
ical exercise, and the mind can be
most quickly acted upon in it's ac-
custOmed, or home, environment.
The lack OF confidence which
nolds back a beginner is a purely
mental state. He knows that skat-
ms is a new stunt, while he has
been walking all his life So he
must learn some bits of skating
lore, and then when he goes upon
the ice he will be so anxious TO
work out some OF his new crop Of
ideas that he will be oblivious 10
oil else but the labor before him.
The method OF ice travel OF skat-
ing is different from that of land

honest, straightforward mode Of
progression. You advance the

In skating you advance the right

you lift it from the ground and this

form the above movements
In reverse order.
After these movements are mas
tered one should imagine ones self
upon the ice. At once one realizes
that upon this slippery medium the
above hve movements are resolved
into about two, for upon the floor
you are merely drawing the angles
upon which are formed the circle
OF the finished stroke in rhythmic
skating.
The inner edge OF course is
skated upon the inner blade of the
skate. and the free foot is upon the
inside OF the circle described in the
stroke.
The outer edge, though more fire.
quently mentioned, is considerably
harder for the grown-up TO learn.
Upon the ice IL is necessary to
bravely cross one foot in front Of
the other. and one az once has the
awful conviction that ones extremi-
ties will soon be hopelessly mixed.
But one can easily learn confidence
and the proper balance in the Sc
clusion OF ones own room. This
once acquired one can sally forth
and challenge the glances Of all
corners.

outer edge:
t-charge the right foot across

weight should be upon the

2-Twist the trunk to the left

3-PIace the raised left foot at

ankle.
4-Gently straighten the right
knee
Then swing the left foot
across the right in a charge
and perform the above move
ments in reverse order.
In the outside edge the free
foot is carried upon the outside OF
the circle and this seems to deprive
the beginner of much OF the conf
dence that he feels when upon the
inner edge. where the free foot is
upon the inside OF the circle. To
the overcoming Of these difficulties
is due the Growing attitude OF nov

him and at the same time
strengthen his ankles. But since
the movement involves wearing
skates one must place several thick
nesses of old burlap or similar ma
terial between ones skates and tho
carpet or polished floor.
After securely fastening the
skates stand with the feet parallel
and assume you are about to ad-
vance upon the left foot. Turn out
the right toe slightly and press
upon the inside OF the skate. Then
raise the right toe with a slight
kick (the shove on diagonally

as long as possible. Then replace
the right foot and shove of with
the left.
OF course each of these shoves
of If done upon the fee would take
you some distance. Hence you
must get the feel" OF the ice I'M
der you at each stroke. This brings
the imagination into play. and to
really enjoy an exercise one must
employ the mind as well as the
muscles. And the imagination Is
mental faculty too often neglected
in the present struggle for The
material things Of life.
The correct balances for the in
ner and outer edges can be learned
in ones room without even wear
ing skates. In order to do these
and similar figures correctly II is
again necessary to get the right
mental attitude: that is 10 say. in
doing the two edges the feet follow
the body.
By bearing this important fact
in mind the beginner will be spared
many a humiliating fall upon the
ice due to keeping the feet in one
direction too long.
The working foot must be lifted
with a jerk which topples over the
none too steady body. The beau
tiful rhythm OF motion In skating is
possible only to those who under
stand that the bo3y from the hips
upward must be gently inclined in
the desired direction, and then the
feet must supply the motive power
to carry IL along.
The inner edge is easier than the
outer edge. hence one should first
acquire its balance. Here is the
way 10 do IL:
Stand with the feet parallel.
