BAD SHOES END IN ILL NERVES rflftait'ia fjufsfiom on rartt bittcrment. ruarnici ttud 'rfit lit inp, ' Uonduitid by Jt it, KtUova U ..

THU short muscles of the feet play a very Important part In walking, nnd any shoo or stocking compression weak ens tho short muscles. The. toes nre squeezed together and the bones aro bent by narrow pointed shoes; - corns, calluses and bunions form, so that proper bending of the foot Is a painful act and Is unconsciously avoided. Short-fitted shoes are direct ly responsible for Ingrown nails and. hammer toes. If the heels of tho thoes aro high nnd narrow (and they usually nre) tho proper balance of the foot Is lost. Heel walking and the outward turning of tho toes In standing greatly Increase tho strain on tho Inner side of the foot btructure. Tho free, elaitlc, springy trtep Is lost In the unnatural gait caused by bad shoes. Nothing Is so Irritating to the nerves as painful feet. Nervous headaches. In digestion and bad temper nre often due to Incorrect shoes. Indeed, army ofll cers say that Incorrect shoes roh sol diers of 25 per cent of their efficiency and nre tho direct cause of Irritability and lack of discipline. Weak feet and "Hat-root, then, are affections due. not to disease, but to overwork of a mechan ically distorted btructure. As one grows older and continues bin dally nmount of foot work under su;h a disadvantage, the ligaments of tho feet become stretched and may rupture. Permanent changes take placo In th bones and spasms of pain occur In the entlro foot structure. Then It Is that the adult realizes that his feet aro in a serious condition, that walking Is really agony. He seeks remedies for the condition brought on by his own folly and hy tame submission to tho wearing of shoes designed by those who have no knowledge whatever of hygienic shoes, or. If they have, make, no use of It In treating diseased feet one must be guided by tho extent to which tho con dition has progressed, by tho local and general physical condition and by the patient's mental attitude. It is Impos sible to do at thing If tho patient re fuses to recognize the causes of his suf fering nnd who Is therefore not willing to abandon bad shoes and do everything possible to correct foot abuse. Occa sional visits to a chiropodist give only temporary relief. It is manifestly Im possible to put the foot back Into normal shape when the bone structure and the muscles have grown out of shape. Mas sage, tonic foot baths, comfortablo ho siery, and, most Important of all, correct shoes, are abbolutcly necessary Properly shaped shoes and eterclre of the feet while seated, as well as stand ing, will accomplish wonders with sick feet, elnco this condition Is due, In tht, first place, to Improperly shaped or In correctly P.tted shoes and consequent bad posture. Tho percentage of bad feet due to other causes Is very small Indeed, We admit the difficulty of getting proper shoes when the average dealer sells only the so-called "highly styled" shoes. How over, there are correct shoes on tho market that can be procured If one really wishes to have the full use of his feet with comfort. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Bowlegs in Babies WahM oii klnHlv Inform me If thera a cure fnr bowleggedness in a rhlld of two years? What causes It? Will It correct self If left .lone, or would jou sdtlsa braces? lilts. i,cwia. Bowlegs result from putting weight on legs the bones of which aro not yet firm enough. Tho weight and the pull of the muscles cause the legs to bow out, bowlegs; or "hend In," knock knees. Why nre tho bones too soft? Hecauso of rickets. A mother who notices that her baby sweats around the head, does not hold his head up well, does not sit up straight nt children do at his nge. should suspect rickets. If his head l overlirge. or his legs nre not developing well, or his teeth aro much delated, she bhould strongly suspect this condition, Rickets should alwas be discovered nnd crured before tho legs begin to bow. If the legs havo bowed, can anything be done? Yes. Tho food must be richer, fream end butter should be added Fruit nnd vegetables mut be given It Is well to feed tho milk raw. I.lfe In the open air Is essential. Tho child should bo kept off his feet us much as posslblo until the rickets has been remedied, A ceitaln amount of bowing of the legs tends to remedy It-self when the rickety condition Is remedied The bones of children nro not completely ossified and the tendency of the muscles Is to pull a slightly bowed bone to Its normal shape. If the deformity Is bad, nothing but operation will cure. Braces are not satisfactory To Insure Pure Air Is there snv device or arpllance which one ran wear wnne iraenng io reuuee ine in take, of contaminated air? I.L'Cll.K.

Tho exercise Is excellent, but outdoor cxeiclse Is better. Try both Keeping Off Frost Why do grocery stores hao fans In their window a? Why do some kinds of stnrea hae more frost on their windows than others? RAM. Grocers want their windows to display their goods. Throwing hot air1 against tho window keeps the temperature of the air next tho glass above the dew point; therefore tho windows sweat but little nnd frost less. Those stores where tho humidity Is high havo frosted win dows unless the windows aro fanned or there Is a good deal of radiation Just below the windows. I.unch looms and laundries are at the head of the list. Then come florists' shops and groceries'. Butchers' shops nro near the top. Dry goods stores and drug stores are low In rank as humid places. Hardware stores are lower still. Front Line Standing on the fire-step. Harking Into the dark.
