You can let down, short

being perpetrated by the shoe
industry for spring.
New toe, heel and shank
designs have got you coming,

Here Is what will be on q

according to the National
Shoe Institute.
New Toes
As q compromise to the

beyond the toe spread. and
with side walls that give the
shoe front q flattened or

You can expect at least
three heel innovations-the
prism. the cat's-back and
the all-steel heel.
The high skinny heel with
. steel spoke through the
center has given way to IN
all-metal one. The super
strength permits the Louis

WHY GROW OLD2
Sneezes, SniffIes
Are Taking Over

Here are o few more things
to remember.
Stay In bed. Avoid drafts
and chiIliness.
Lots Of Liquids
Drink lots Of liquids. How
ever, there Is no reason not
to eat q well-balanced diet.
Naturally, II fever Is present
or even II it Is not, you will
not feel like eating large or
rich meals.
Blow your nose as little as
possible. When necessary
blow through both nostrilS.
Closing one side when blow
ing from the other may lead
to an ear infection.
The number Of colds which
occur each year could be
greatly decreased If each VIC
tim would use reasonable
care in not spreading his
germs. The glasses and sill
yer and china and towels
used by the one who has q
cold should be kept separate
from those used by others in
the family.
If possible the patient
should be isolated in one
room and the door should be
closed. He or she also should
use tissues which can be de-
stroyed. Just a little caution
