As a helpful guide, the fol- lowing suggestions are worth

noung.

1. Replace shoes with a larger size as soon as needed, possibly every four to eight weeka.

3. Keep the heels of the shoes |straight. Worn beela can cause

weak ankles and loot strain,

3. Discard Blockings which are crowning the toes. Pointed too stockings cause ingrown nalis and large jomu,

4. Bathe feet day in warm water, and a good grade of soup, brushing the toe nail

6. Cut the too nails straight acros, not shorter than the flesh at the end of the

the toes,

C. Teach children to too straight ahead when walking. Toeing out weakens the ankles and archea arxi ruins a grace- ful strido.

When walking and standing. make sure the foot is placed so the inside of the big toe is on a straight line ahead. If practised patiently, this soon will become a mtural position. It throws the weight of the body on the outer border of the foot, thus suving strain on the arches.
