CARE OF THE FEET. THE CRAMPED AND TORTURED FOOT NO LONGER THE IDEAL Views of a Celebrated Anatomist—The Importance of Wearing the Right Kind of < Bhoes--Bomething About Corns and How to Treat Them. . Very few seem to realize the importance of giving the feet proper attention in order to secure better health as well as general comfort. It is almost inconceivable that in our civilized nation in the modern age there are still so many , otherwise sensible women who are will- ' ing to maim and cripple their feet and . suffer tortures for the sake of, Wearing - shoes dust a little -too small, or which '&l , they imagine falsely, pretty or 1 more fashionable. We see the folly of 1 the cramping process upon the feet, of I the Chinese women, but how much more i inexcusable it is for women of this eni lightened country. i In former times it has been the fashi ion for shoes to be made with high i hods, narrow, pointed toes and all sorts 1 of extravagant shapes contrary to ease and comfort, and as top many people have felt it incumbent upon them to , bow to the demands- of the tyrant fashion, no matter hoAv unreasonable her ‘ demands, the result has been for suc- > ceeding generations untold suffering in the form of corns, bunions and other | deformities, until now itiscomparative- ■ ly rare to see, except among savage na- •• I tions, a perfect, well shaped foot.. But a more sensible fashion allows the wearing of various styles of sensible shoes that are adapted to the, ease and com- ; fort of the wearer, with thick soles, wide, low heels and plenty of room for free expansion of the toes and muscles, and the numerous corns, which are not only exceedingly painful, but often serious affairs, are gradually disappearing from the feet of the sensible ones and the ideal foot is no longer the cramp id and tortured foot. s The celebrated anatomist, Professor Hyrti of Vienna university, opened one of his lectures to his Class with the singular question, “Which is the most beautiful foot, considered from the anatomical standpoint?” and then continued: “It is remarkable that there are so many divergent opinions on this subject. While the sons of men look upon a small, slender and graceful foot, a lady’s foot, as an ideal one, the anatomist utterly rejects it as beautiful, and only the large, long and broad foot is the "ideal one inTiis eyes. Even the greatest classic writers of antiquity, Horace, Catalins, and others, who had great appreciation of the feminine beauty, never 1 mentioned in the descriptions of their beloved —and, as is well-known, they had many—their small feet. [ “The people belonging to the Celtic race have small feetthe Hindoos especially have such feet and hands that they may be enried by many European ' countesses. The native troops of the ■ English army in India possess in Eng- '■ land their own armorv where peculiar 1 kinds of weapons are constructed for them, and the swohl hilts, made for 1 them, are much too sm’all for us to grasp with ease. The greatest beauties of Europe, the Italians, have really long and broad feet. ”, But even do not caj‘e to be convinced that the ide.d foot is the foot ' that is long and broad, we can certainly realize the importance of care in selecting shoes' 'of the proper size for Comfort as well as beauty. The .foot never locks pretty in a shoe too small for jt, and such shoes soon become unshapely from undue pressure, giving anything but a pretty appearance. On the other hand, we should not fall : into the error <*f buying shoes too large. These are quite as apt to 'cause corns as ! small ones by rubbing certain»parts of > . ' the foot. If ant offe has the misfortune to fall into this mistake, it can be remedied to a great extent by inserting a soft xvad of cotton batting iu the toe of the shoo or in the part that rubs against the foot. The same care is necessary in buying 1 shoes as in. buying gloves. They will 1 last much longer and ’-.have a better ap-~~ pearanee when made of new, good skins. 1 OMAeaiher or kid is not soft and elastic ' and does not. easily shape itself to the foot Or the hafid. This is not only a ' matter cf, comfort, but of economy. In ' this,, as iu many other things, “the best is the cheapest, ” and as few women, or men either, for th# matter, are’ good judges of leather it AvilUbe wise to buy only of honest, experienced dealers, in » whoiu we can confide, for we cannot afford risks in a matter where so much is involved. An uncomfortable shoe is ireally a very serious matter when we • take into consideration the pfiin and the probable deformities in the Way-.ijf corns and bunions, the Wear on the nervous systenj and the unpleasant consequences of our irritable tempers because of personal discomfort. It scarcely seems necessary to speak of the»importance of frequent bathing .of the feet and paring if the nails, and yet many are surprisingly careless in this respect. Corns are simply composed of a great number of layers of cuticle, " or scarf skin, one above another, each ‘ “successive layer being larger than the precedhlg, so that the whole assumes the form of a grain of Indian .coms hence its name. This is constantly pressing its ppilit upon the tender flesh when . the shoe presses up ril i !S against it, aud as this cuticle is easily dissolved to a great extent by the warm water and soap we can see tfetLbu.thiqg is the most o ’ ready and harmless remedy as well’ 1 as preventive.—Exchange.
