CONSIDER YOUR FEET.

One day a friend approached Mr. Munn of Hongkong and asked: "What do you do with your feat ? "*

"I walk on them," answored Mr. Mann, "when they'ro not resting on a brass rail."

Which; seemingly, was a perfectly logical answer.. "OH, like so many people, you don't úso your head, when you use your foot."."

This perplexed Mr. Maun.

The moral of what the friend said is this: Lack of atten- tion to the foot often causos irritability or hoadachs at the close of the day. You can't be riding in a. Ford or a ricksho all day,.

The foot should be bathed at least once a day and, if one stands on thom much, foot baths should be taken twice. a day..

Don't soak them in hot water! Topid water should ba tead and a rough towel is bost to dry Thom. Use talcum powder. afterward.

A good foot massage before going to bod is recom- mended by many. First bathe them; then follow with a brisk rubbing, **
