How to Keep Well
BY DR.. r. n. BISHOP
BY DR.

YOUR HEELS AND HEALTH
Your heels may have a whole
lot to do with bad health. if you
are one of those who try to make
your feet fit the shoes YOU like
instead of wearing shoes that tit
your feet.
The condition of your feet and
the manner in which you stand
upon them may give rise to a
score of ailments. Headache.
backache. pains in the calves and
legs, as we'll as u condition of eA-
IRENE nervousness may result
from weak or defective feet.
For most foot troubles prope.
shoes. proper standing and walk
ing positions and proper care of
the feet. with frequent bathing in
warm water, should be sufficient.
Sagging. INSTRUCTED feet, not
only detract from ones appear
ance, but more than that. i'm
proper standing and walking may
develop fiat feet" or weak feet"
An exercise that will siren gthen
and help to cure fallen arches is
as follows Walk barefoot about
the room. spreading the toes wide;
walk on the tip-toes; walk on the
outside of the feet for a few
minutes; stand on the edge of the
step, allowing the toes to extend
over the, edge. and fieN the mus
cles up and down a number Of
times.
Low heels and not only more
comfortable than high but more
restful to the feet, and they help
do away with backache- 1t is
advisable however, to make a
change from high TO low heels
gradually as the heel cord. espec-
tally in women has become grad
ually shortened from the contin-
led use of high l. cells

Sailed and smo ked meats and
fish are always acceptable in the
spring and summer months.
Many housekeepers in the countr:
are wholly dependent on cured
meats for use in hot weather.
Salt pork has solved the problem
for more than one MONDAY dinner
table.
Crisp Salt Pork
Cut the pork as i'll the precedin
rule. Cover with boiling water
and let stand five minutes. Drain
and dip in flour Put in 4 no:
irving pan over a slow fire. Cook
slowly to a golden brown first on
one side and then the other. AS
the fat frys out in the spider pour
it off. This makes the pork very
crisp and sweet.
Salt Pork With Cream Gravy
Eight slices salt pork, flour,
pepper, two cups rich milk, 1 tea
spoon minced parsley.
Cut the slices of pork about one
fourth of an inch thick. II very
salty pour boiling water over meat
Let stand five minutes and drS-n
Dip IA ur and sprinkle with pep
per. Frying pan should be very
hot. Brown quickly on one sldS
turn and brown on the cher. Then
cook more slowly until the outsloe
is crisp. Drain on brown paper
and arrange on a hot platter.
Pour all but two tablespoons OF
fat from frying pan. Add one and
one-haIf tablespoons flour one
eighth teaspoon pepper and stir
until flour and fat are perfectly
blended and the flour is a pale
straw color. Add milk slowly,
stirring constantly until the sauce
is thick and smooth. Pour into
a gravy boat, sprinkle with min
ced parsley and serve at once.
