Homemakers’ Corner
By Mrs. F. Rankin, Nelson
‘MY POOR FEET !” Aching feet! Souvenir of exhibition and show*, by-product of spring cleaning, and unwelcome companion of house-wife and business woman alike. Like the stomach, feet arc much abused, although much is expected of them. Treat them properly and the joy of living is increased. On the other hand, as the Arab proverb says, “He, whose feet hurt, has no other worries.” Your feet are your own property and will treat you as well as you treat them. Here are a few hints to help you. Change shoes several times daily—the different heights of the heel will ease the leg muscles. Use high heels for evening wear only. Avoid spike heels, which give rise to internal troubles. Wash feet daily in warm water and finish off with cold water. Walk hare-footed every day for a short petiod and make the most of your opportunities on beach and lawn. At night place feet and ankles on a pillow, and your last thought need not he, “My poor feet!”
