SPRING HAS COME; FEEL 1T
IN YOUR FEET, AND CARE FOR THEM
BY WILLIAM BRADY. M. D.

| FNHE robins are not always reliable, the
| Il hurdy-gurdy often leads us astray, OK.
fords are worn by some aggressive individu-
| ais the year round, garden tools were feat
ured in the store windows weeks before the
last freeze-but spring is here now for sure.
We can tell by the letters about foot
troubles recently pouring in.
Here is a sort a composite copy of them
all-wlth kind of general reply, in the
hope that our labors may be lessened
enough to permit days fishing, yet not
leave any reader in distress:
have pains in the tops of my feet
more like a burning. worse at night
or In the evening. My feet swell. my
calves and hips ache. My feet per-
spire a great deal, and they tire early
in the day. / am a clerk, and on my
feet eight hours. Please advise me
what to do
Nine out of ten of these letters come
from young women. OF course, they all
try to dress fashionably. This year womens
shoes have been something horrible, speak
ing in strict hygienic sense. We frankly
admit that women's feet look more attrac-
tive than ever before-yet we insist the
shoes are atrocious. There are more foot
troubles than usual this spring. This is
why.
The toes are too pointed. The fore
foot is too far outturned from the straight
inside sole line The heels are too narrow
and too hiGh-beautiful yes. but ruinous
to a womans health Otherwise the shoes
are admirable, and the women who wear
them, God bless them, are lovelier every
year. Even the white spats are-oh, we'll
a woman can never wear too much color
On her face or her shoes, II doesn't matter.
Now here is the answer:
Get a pair of shoes with rounded, not
square or ugly, toes, straight or nearly
straight inside sole lines-there should be
little or no space between the tips of the
toes when heels and soles are touching
each other See that the heel is two inches
wide-Venus has a heel that wide-and
never more than two inches high, better one
inch high. Wear these shoes and you'll
have no foot troubles. Go barefoot every
chance you get. The feet will never learn
to like leather.
