Foot Ease.

Talcum powder sprinkled freely in the shoes will do much to alleviate foot weariness. There are various foot powders which are excellent used in this way, but when only a few necessary belongings may be carried in. the traveling bag the talcum powder answers very well. The powder should also be rubbed over the foot before the stocking is donned. When the feet burn and ache cruelly after a long day of sightseeing a bath in cool water and a brisk rub with alcohol afterward, will help them more than a soaking in hot water, which only makes them the more tender afterward. Each morning also the feet should be bathed in cold water and briskly rubbed to harden them and make them better able to resist fatigue.
