Take Care of Your Feet.

Some folks treat their feet as they might their shoos; tako no care of them, and even abuse them, as though when they had beeogie shapeless and almost useless they could be thrown aside and a new pair obtained. Mistake. Ono pair is all any man will have in this world. The circumstances under which they serve us are, at best, very trying and not altogether calculated to keep them shapely and comfortable. Abuse them and they will retaliate ten-fold. Pinch them and they will make every nerve in one’s body twinge in sympathy with their torment. Wear high-heeled boots, thus pitching the weight mptm the toes, and the spine will curve, the gait will become constrained and mincing and the erect form, the forceful stride, the manly carriage of a free and well balanced figure will have been lost forever. Begin early to care for the feet. Wear wholesome, soft and well-made hosiery, and shoes which conform to the shape of your own feet, whether they resemble other people’s shoes or not. Have plenty of changes of foot clothing, keep

the extremities dry and warm, and yo* will have done much to conserve the health and comfort of the whole body.
