BABY'S FEET
IMPORTANT
State Board of Health Gives
Some Dos and DOn'ts in
Care of Baby's Feet
OUTGROW SHOES

We know that the best way to
treat physical deformities is to pre-
vent them! Because the public
health nurse visits the homes of
many infants and young children
she has golden opportunity to as
sist in the prevention of deformi-
ties.
Take just the simple matter of
observing the baby's feet. Mothers
are advised by the public health
nurse not to force the baby to walk
or stand. The baby will try to do
so when the bones and muscles of
the legs and tiny feet are strong
enough. Some children learn to
stand earlier than others and all of
them fall frequently before they
learn how to balance the body.
Be sure that stockings and shoes
are long enough. When the baby
bears weight on his foot the new
shoe should extend your thumb
width (at least one-half inch) be-
yond the toes. DO not use stockings
shrunk by washings. Another rea-
son why stockings are often too
short is because the babys feet
grow and stockings don't-there-
fore, watch the size of the stock
ings so that they do not cramp the
lbaby's feet.
Toe nails protect the top of the
ibaby's toes and should be cut in a
straight line even with the flesh,
never round the corners.
Babies rarely wear out. shoes,
they usually outgrow them. It is
better to discard, a pair of shoes
which are too short and tight even
if they are not worn out, than to
run the risk of permanent harm to
the baby's feet.
A word of warning, however-do
not buy shoes that are too large,
they do not support the baby's
feet.

announced his resignation, He was
given a three months leave at that

ton at the time of his demise.
At one time Rev. Martin had
rather extensive lake shore pro-
perty in northern Minnesota and
property in Minneapolis.

enemies by his outspOken lang
uage and approach to both mini
sterial and community problems
