Mr. D. was back to his carpentry it Alderlea. to the shmgllng where t climbs up toward the caves and '.hen to the barn-interior which also awaits, in part, completion.

And there too, at Alderica we 'ollowed Mack to a stable to ad- mre with him what he called ivcry good heifers"-the crop of Lalves born and acquired in our absence.

For Tomorrow

THERE is a vivid. stimulating and dynamic urge for action, a will to be up and doing in a rather significant manner. It is likely that desires may result in an lmpctuous and even' tempestuous determin- ation to win against all obstacles and annoyances. Innovation. nov- elty and a strange and thrilling clamor for indulgence are in the forecast. While there may be the thrill of gambling and chance. business and other aspirations, in moderation, may thrive.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is are on the threshold of a year of thrill and drama. All contacts and rela- tionships are keyed to emotional excitement. This should result in

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPERLY FITTED SHOES

In examining recruits for World War I, we came across many who had been wearing. or were still wearing, shoes with painted toes which came to a sharp point, wedging all five toes into the space of about two. The great majority of these cases were rejected, as many had hammer toes, many had bun- ions and flat feet were also com- mon.

While the days of the pointed toe shoes are gone, a bulletin is- sued by the American Foot Care Institute, Inc.. by Dr. Benjamin

Q. l-low can I beat hold the broken pieces of china together when mending them with cement? A. The best sthod is to use narrow strips of adhesive tape. Leave the tape on until the china is firm and set. and thoroughly dried; then carefully pull it off.

Q. How can I retard the falling of the hair?

A. Vaseline jelly rubbed well into the scalp will retard falling of the hair and will promote a new growth of hair. White jelly should be used for light hair and the red- dish-tinted for dark hair.

our feet. generally speaking. as we do with our head.

Americans are rapidly walking their way into trouble, according to dermatologists, orthopedic special- ists. podiatrlsts and other special- ists who are confronted daily with a variety of foot ailments. The principal reason for so much foot trouble is failure to wear properly fitted and properly constructed shoes. Improper footwear is a par- ticular source of pain and discom- fort, causing coma and calluses at any place where the shoe does not fit the foot properly.

In addition. the combination of heat and dampness from perspira- tion makes the feet ideal breeding grounds for the little vegetable or- gantlsms (fungi) that cause athlete's co .

Now that manufacturers are mak- ing shoes of proper shape, enabling the individual to spread his toes. yet fitting snugly at vamp and heel, the purchaser knows at once whether or not the shoes fit him.

Another suggestion from Direc- tor Kauth is that, while canvas sneakers are comfortable for games. they should not be worn all day as they give insufficient support to the feet.

During National Foot Health Week some months ago, some sug- gestions for purchasers were pub- lished:

1. Buy shoes toward and of the day. since feet tend to swell when used. Both feet should be measured standing. The longest of the two feet should be measured and fitted. The shoe should extend at least a half-inch beyond the end of the big toe. The leather across the vamp should be wide enough to permit you to pinch it n bit be- tween your fingers.

2. Wear shoes with leather up- pers and soles which permit the

feet to breathe.

3. wash feet daily, especially between toes. Dry feet carefully as heat and moisture breed the or- gsnlsms that cause athlete's foot- rlngworm of the feet.
