FOR THOSE
TIRED FEET

The number OF human beings who
suffer habitually or occasionally
with tired or aching feet Is al
most equal to the number recorded
by the census. In other words -
everybody has tired feet some time
and most people have them often.
Especially in hot weather. when
business or home duties keep US
standing or walking constantly. and
the heat causes feet to swell and
the perspirstion makes the skin
tender, do we all know foot trou-
bles.
Daily care is the only cure and
the treatment IL simple.
First. be careful to wear the
right shoes - with nat or medium
low comfortable heels. proper size
and shape. and proper support Of
the foot and ankle bones and mus
cles. 1t is foolish to rail at the
work which keeps us on our feet
until we suffer agonies'-when the
real trouble may be badly fitted.

ally add cold water. as this tough
ems the skin. Dry the feet with
soft towel and dust with talcum
powder. Wear white stockings as
much as possible and have two pair
Of shoes or slippers so 1t is possible
to change at least once a day. Do
not change from fat-heeled shoes
to French hels. The change in the
foots position places q strain on
muscles. and indeed. on the organs
Of the whole body which may be
injurious.
Corns and calloused spots should

knives or sand-papered. or rubbed
with any irritating substance. Such
work as Is required should be done
by a chiropodist or treated with
remedies recommended by a relia-
BILE druggist.
And all workers who suffer with
tender feet housekeepers espe-
cially. should make every effort to
spare themselves and their feet by
doing as much Of the work as DOS
sible when seated. It pays to spend
a day or two studying "efficiency
movements" or habits of work
which reduce the necessity of much
standing or walking.
