To spare your child mo end Of foot trou-
BILE" In later years pay particular attention
TO their footgear while they arc growing"
Buy shoes that nt their feet, and see that
only the softest of feathers are used to
fashion them.
The fundamental principle OF the hyglenio
shoe Is that II should distort none Of the
parts. When the great toe is bent to con-
form the foot TO the pointed toe, which con-
tinues TO retain its popularity In woman's
shoes. a bunlon will be the ultimate result.
once this dcformity has made its appear
ance the foot can never be restored to It's
normal beauty Of shape. No matter what
shoe 10 worn the foot will not be attrac-
tive.
Beside making the shoe as little harm4
ful as Is consistent with the dictates Of
climate and fashion. the correct meth
DDS Of posture should be taught the child
so that the elasticity OF the feet will be
retained throughout adult life.
WAY TO WALK
Formerly We were taught that the cor
rect attitude In standing and walking was
to turn the toes out. Nowadays-although
some schools and dancing classes teach their
pupils to stand with the toes at an angle
of forty-five degreea--it Is admitted by
those who have carefully studied the ar
rangement of the bones of the feet that
this posture, instead OF encouraging ease
and grace of movement, really throws an
unnecessary strain on tho inner side OF tho
arch This will, eventually. lead to a more
or less marked dropping OF the inner ankle
bone. II is far better to keep the toes al
most straight when walking or standing.
Most Of US believe that we walk on the
middle lines OF our feet A glance at an
old pair OF shoes will prove\ that we are
mistaken. Virtually every person favors
one side OF the foot.
The pointing of the toes straight in
front will insure normal distribution of
weight. 50. from the very moment that
your baby takes its first step, teach it to
po mt its toes directly toward the front, and
never encase them in shoes that will destroy
their natural beauty and freedom of move
ment.

more and more popular, and children who
live In warm climates should never wear
any other kind Of foot covering. Even in
localities where the winters are severe
mothers should insist upon their children
wearing sandals while indoors, at least
One OF the newer type of sandals has
n strap separating the large toe from the
others. II possesses the great advantage
OF correcting any tendency toward an In
ward pointing Of the big toe and crowding
the other toes which is the great fault
OF ordinary shoes. To preserve the beauty
of contour. grace and elasticity OF your
ch!ld's foot encourage her to wear sandals
whenever II IL possible for her to do So
Then, too, II is good to leave the ankles
unsupported, to encourage the strength
ening Of the muscles and lgaments. In
fact, the modern fashionable shoe has four
great faults, high heels, lack of venta-
ton, toes that are badly shaped and too
much support at the ankles.
You Will notice that savages whose feet
have never been imprisoned in shoes do
not know that there is such defect as
"fat feet" Their toes lie straight in lines
parallel with the inside of the foot, they
never have n dlsfiguring bunion or painful
corn. nor do they ever complain of weak
ankles"
