Rest Your Feet
While You Use Them

If your feet tire easily from
standing or walking, they need a
rest. But "absence Of occupation is
not rest" as Emerson has so aptly
said. And the kind of rest that
your feet need is only a change to
shoes that give them a chance to
function normally, and to be COM
Portable and happy in so doing.
Your feet are naturally flexible.
They are composed Of twenty.six
small bones which are held in an
arched position by muscles. When
the foot has a chance TO fex and
exercise these muscles naturally
become stronger and your foot arch
better able TO hold the weight Of
the body. It IS for this reason that
