Why Grow Old?
Safeguard Young Feet
By Josephine Lowmon

Few young mothers realize the
great need for watchful care of
young child's feet. Do you know
that your baby's feet are very deli
cate? Do you know that the little
infant foot does not have solid
foot structure but only So bony
masses which are not yet well
united?
Do you know that a baby's foot
has virtually no arch? Have you
noticed that all babies feet are
fat? It takes time for the muscles
and bones to develop an arch anc
a well-integrated foot! 1t takes
ten years to complete the general
structure of the foot and details
of the great heel bone are not per-
fected until the Goth year!
Imagine, then. how important
early care is. In infancy the vari-
GUS arches are held in place by
fatty pads. Nature gradually alb
serbs these pads as the muscles
and the bones develop. When the
child's foot is in this pliable state
the kind of shoe he wears Is most
important. If the toes are crowded
or the shoe is too pointed the big
toe turns in, thus laying the foun-
dation for future strain and bun
ions.
Here are a few rules from the
National Foot Health Council:
Evening star., 1949-09-12

/. Watch growing feet. Replace
shoes with larger size as soon as
needed. Some children's feet, at
certain ages, outgrow shoes within
four to eight weeks.
2. Teach very young children tc
toe straight ahead when walking
Toeing out weakens the ankle:
and arches and makes a graceful
walk impossible.
3. Discard stockings or socks
which are crowding the toes
Pointed stockings cause ingrowr
nails and big joints.
4. Cut toenails straight across
never shorter than the flesh at thu
ends of the toes.
S. Keep the heels Of the shoe
straight. Run-over heels cause
strain and weaken the ankles.
6. Select shoes with flexible
leather soles and flexible upper
parts. Kid leather is best fol
children'S feet.
7. Have your child's feet ex-
amined at regular intervals by q
physician, chiropodist or podia-
trist specializing in the treatment
and care of the feet.
You may save your child a great
deal of discomfort, fatigue ano
pain in future life If you will carry
out these suggestions.

This is a thank-you for the

to iron, they are all evenly damp

TUBEROUS BEGONIAS?
from Mrs. N. w. McC.,

Please, can some one give me
some information about potted
tuberous begonias? I have about
a dozen pots, plants measuring
2 to 3 feet in height. These have
bloomed constantly all summer
Do they make good house plants
and what does one do when they
finish blooming? Does one cut
the plant back to or 3 inches
or does one cut 1t all of and up
root the tubers and let rest, to
plant again in the spring? They
are taller than I like for house
plants, since I have only window
sill space for them. They have
made very satisfactory porch
plants since early spring. But
what to do for them during the
winter?
I have inquired at florists and
greenhouses but find them re-
luctant to part with any informa-
ton. Trade secrets. I suppose

CRIB SHEETS.
'(Fronl Mrs. M. F. j.,
Tnkounn Pnrk

In answer to Mrs. D. P. S., in
regards to the crib sheets, this is
what I did:
Lay the crib sheet on a flat
surface. I used my bed, place
the crib mattress on top, making
sure the hens are face up, then
fold the corners of the sheet as
though you were making the crib.
Pin the corners as you make them,
using straight pins. Next take the
corners IN place but don't sew
over the top of the mattress as
you might tear the sheet taking it
off. Sew 2-inch piece of
half Inch elastic across the cor
ner so that 1t is katty-corner. This
makes the sheet nice and tight
and is easy to get on and off. BY
taking the corners it is much
easier to put the sheet on after
washing it. You can also cut
the corners of the sheet and then
bind the sheet with bias tape,
but as I don't have a sewing
machine didn't try this.
If this is not very clear, you
may contact me through the RICH.

DENVER.
(From Miss G. p, WdshingtonD

10 MIS-. r. L.: Inc CilH2dte Is
much different than it is here.
Everyone has the impression that
it is so cold. It does get cold by
the thermometer but due to the
dry air one does not feel as cold
when it is below zero as when it
is a much higher temperature
here. It gets cool about September
~ and summer is over, but the
autumn is glorious and colorful on
through October. Then there may
be snow beginning any time from
last of October (about when you
start wearing a winter coat, but
some years not until after Thanks
giving. The colder weather is
usually January, February and
March, with a late Spring, but
not the rain we have here. The
summer temperature is about the
same but such a difference. No
humidity to speak Of. Cool in the
shade and always cool at night.
Delightful!
AS for clothing: Woolens are not
worn as much as here. You won't
button your coat collar up so much
even over a crepe dress. We pre-
fer a topcoat to a heavier over
coat. Children's clothes are about
the same.
Housing is almost or is as bad
as 1t is here. 1t is improving and
rent is much less than here as
are the prices of real estate.
Transportation is not as stream
lined. Three fares cost Is cents,
but there are no passes. Traffic
is slow.
Groceries are about the same
but it is easier to 60 out to the
farms and gardens and buy vege-
tables, chickens. eggs. etc. Deep
freeze lockers are available.
Department stores are easier to
shop in as there are more in pro-
portion to the population.
Amusements and recreation:
you can find about any kind you
want, shows, concerts, lectures,
dancing etc. Not as many things
going on at once but all one can
attend. You should enjoy the
mountains only Is miles to the
foot hills and lovely spots in the
Denver Mountain Parks for a day,
a week end or an evenings outing.
Denver like many places
changed a great deal during the
war. Many people came there for
war work from small towns and
many states. Compared to Wash
ington, there are fewer younger
people in proportion, more chill
dren and more older family peo-
pie, and more workmen.
You may not like it at first,
but every one does after they
have lived there for a while. I
hope you do. We all appreciate
it when we get away and even
more when we 60 home.
If you have any specific ques-
tions as to locality preferences
schools, etc. please contact me
through the RICH.
Now another subject: I would
be interested in every one of the
famous recipes that Mrs. T. c. OF
Washington mentioned.
Also thanks to Mrs. v. B. OF
Takoma Park for the Pecan Cake
which requested.

CHILD'S SLEEPING PROBLEM.

FGLLS CnuTcHt
To Mrs. A. E. S.: This Is an at
tempt to give you some help with
the problem of your 11-month-old
daughters poor sleeping. I have
a 2-year-old son and I, too, was
a a,weary mother for almost a year.
due to the same apparent restless
ness, nervousness and inability OF
the baby to sleep.
feel that you have a baby that
is not completely well, and that
you should find an excellent pedi-
african to give you serious consul.
Our doctor told us that all babies
cried, ETC., and we rocked and
walked the baby for many months.
Finally, we decided to change doc
tors and took our little son to a
famous doctor in New Jersey. He
Immediately and drastically al
tered the baby's diet.
After a while. the baby slept
much better, but for some months
continued to wake up before mid
night and expect some rocking.
Only after the doctor was abso-
lutely sure that the baby was COM
pletely well, did he advise us to
let him cry it out, since by that
time, the waking was due to long
established habit and no longer to
discomfort. The discipline lasted
only two nights and since then he
has slept normally, a sign of
baby who is well and comfortable.
I hope you can find doctor who
specializes in helping the lesser
known babies diet problems.
I. too, wish to express my thanks
to RICH for the excellent recipes
and ideas it presents. To me it
is the most interesting column in
The Star.
(From L. B., WdShingtonJ
RICH is a wonderful help to
housewives and mothers, but I
want to urge Mrs. A. E. S. to take
her child's sleeping problem else
where-to a good pediatrician and
without delay. If she does not,
the child's health as we'll as her
own, will be undermined by made
quate rest, and the longer bad
sleeping habit persists, the harder
it is to correct. I speak from
experience and with great SYM
pathy for the mother who must
be indeed very weary"
(Fron, Mrs. J. J. M, Washington)
A couple of lines to Mrs. A. E. S.,
Alexandria, in regards to the
sleeping problem: Try putting your
daughter to bed with warm bottle

the time I was having the same
trouble with my son, by a friend
who tucked a red turkish towel

ever since, provided that don't
forget to give him his "ba-ba."

TO MAKE CRIB SHEETS.
From Mrs. X. E. M, Washington
For Mrs. D. P. s.. Arlington: I've
had considerable success in max
ing two different kinds of crib
sheets.
The simplest type is made from
a 72x90 sheet with the large hem
ripped out. Split the approx
mately 83-inch length in half, giv-
ing you two good sized crib sheets
I just spread the cloth out on
my double bed, lay the crib mat
tress on top of it, and pin the cor
ners very snugly to fit. Another
fitting for the part covering the
underside of mattress is necessary.
After fitting very tightly, I cut
away all the excess, leaving u to
"a inch for scanning, then take
apart and use for a pattern for
any others I have to make.
Since these fit very snugly to
mattress, they are more comfort
able for sleeping and give the ap-
pearance OF having been ironed.
