In such stadium could be held athletic contests and

Navy Army and Marine Corps which Roosevelt believed

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Brice Belden-

-Dy LIZ DiASG DGtu0u
IF you have good feet guard
1 them as you would precious
treasures.
you are troubled with defec-
tive feet protect them against
growing worse.
Some of the commoner defects
are corns. ingrowing nails, bun.
ions and painful heels.
Corns are the result of continu.
Gus chatting pressure and are
either hard or soft. Soft corns
are often found between two toes,
and some people therefore think
they arise from different cause
to that which causes the hard
variety, but in fact. friction and
pressure probably account for
them all. Those apparently Sc
cluded and protected soft corns
that grow right in the cleft be-
tween the fifth and fourth toes
arise from pressure of the head
OF the bone of the fifth toe
against the base of the bone or
the fourth toe. A hard hone will
usually be felt at the base of the
soft corn. Corns and hard Jumps
often appear on the 80 of the
foot as a result Of faulty distribu-
ton of the weight of the BODY
when standing and walking. This
is often the result, in It's turn, OF
deformity. The last calls for the
surgeons help, but the former
may we'll be corrected at home:
Ingrowing toenaIis are also
usually the result of faulty foot
wear. II it is too late to cure
the trouble by buying proper
shoes, the doctor will have to
remove the nail.
Bunions are nearly always as
sociated with a deformity of the
big toe, which Is turned at
more or less acute angle to the
rest Of the foot. so that it crowds
in on the other toes, while its
joint sticks out beyond the line OF
tie foot. Where the joint bulges.
there a bunion forms. The de-
fOrmity may he Unborn, hut
there is no doubt that the wear
ing Of short. tight.fitting shoes
with pointed toes will accelerate.
If it does not actually produce,
the condition The hunion may
ne relieved by wearing broad
SHOES of soft leader. but there is
no real cure save operation, at
which the surgeon removes the
projecting piece of bone and the
bunion.
Runions also sometimes develop
in old people, whose toe joints are
getting stiff or who develop bOny
projections or their feet. The
pressure OF the shoes on these
then produces bunion over them.
and. as in the bunion Of younger
people, the only cure is surgical.
