FOOT CARE nngjnji MOST IMPORTANT IN SUMMER MONTH Bathe the feet well at least once a day in tepid water; dry them carefully, then use talcum powder. , , | Never wear the same shoes two days in suecession, and change stockings daily. Wear shoes that have all leather soles and uppers. Save sneakers and playshoes for the beach! Since feet swell in summer, wear the proper size shoes and stockings —a half inch longer than the tip of your toes. Limber your feet at intervals. Twist the foot from the ankles and wiggle your toes every chance you get.. Remember that ringworn of the feet thrives only in a.hot, soggy environment. Keep feet cool and dry. Leather soles help. And don’t be a bathroom surgeon! Professionals are best qualified to deal with real problems. . Make periodical visits to your chiropodist.
