Usefulness of Millions Has Been Impaired by Aching Feet
-.- - - <4. ..— ■ ... - ■ . -.- - . -—_
AVOID POORLY FITTED
SHOES AND STOCKINGS
Health Is Undermined and Nerves Put on Edge by
Steady Pain, Says Dr. Copeland on the Ills
Caused by Faulty Foot-Gear.
Bv ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health, New York City.
TO teeth and toes must go the palm for carrying misery to civil
ized man. Corns, bunions and decayed teeth have ruined the
happiness and impaired the usefulness of millions.
Primitive man had strong, clean and enduring teeth. Rough food
demanded and received thorough chew-ng.
Dental decay wa3 rare indeed.
Primitive man wore no shoes. Hi3 toes were
permitted to go where Nature intended. A line
drawn through the length of the big toe and
projected backward, ended in the middle of the
heel.
It is a pity to think the physical body should
grow less perfect as the direct result of civil
ized ways. But it has, certainly in some re
spects. That is particularly true of the feet.
Men and women who are fussy to the last de
gree about their clothing, will take any shape in
shoes without question. They employ the best
of tailors and dressmakers, but accept whatever
is offered in foot wear. Of course I am dis
cussing lit and not materials.
DR. COPELAND During the World War there were many
things given credit for “winning the war.” I am
Fare no one can question that the physical condition of the soldiers
was the chief factor. What was done to relieve them of foot ail
ments wa3 no small part of this program.
Policemen and barbers, clerks in stores, farmers and laborers.
housewives—everybody having occa-,
sion to stand on the feet hours at a
time, can testify to the evil effects
of foot defects. Tender feet, sore
corns, aching joints, calloused soles
—all these are bad enough. Then
when these suffering feet are thrust
into tight or ill-shaped shoes, there
Is increase of misery.
Don’t neglect your poor suffering
feet. Give a little thought to your
ehoes. Have them properly fitted.
Now about those corns: Do you
know that there are well-equipped
colleges where men and women are
carefully trained in foot-care? As
applied these days this profession
has become really scientific.
It ts possible to get rid of the in
growing nails, thick corns, callouses
and the other effects of wearing
wrohg foot gear. Don't fall to give
yourself the benefit and comfort of
such troatmetit.
May I remind you that it is not
alone the shoes that must be borne
in mihd? Short stockings are capable
of doubling up the toes and causing
trouble.
Many persons pay dollars and dol
lars to have their finger nails mani
cured and never think of caring for
their toes. Just because the fingers
allow is no excuse for limiting your
care to them. You make a wreck of
yourself by permitting sore feet to
Bpoil your happiness.
Nerves are put on edg° and health
undermined by steady pain, no mat
ter whew it is located. Take care
of your feet.

A Fashion Model’s Diary
By GRACE THORNCLIFFE
She Discusses a Formal Afternoon (lown.
I WISH the boy friend would stop]
getting the urge to Introduce !
me to various members of his
family. He scares me half to death
— l hate being looked over and ap
praised.
, The funny thing la—at least.
Helene thinks It's funny—that he’s
never "popped the question" In ail
the time I’ve known him. Of course,
he says he's crazy about me and 1
realiy believe he is. but he makes
no plans for permanency at all.
But I keep comforting myself with
the thought that he’s only waiting ,
until he thinks he's making enough
money to support me in the style
that I’d like to he accustomed to.
Anyway, he called me up yester
day and told me that his s'ster, who
lives in the suburbs, is having a for
4 mal tea on Sunday and insisted that
he must bring me. I don't believe
she did at all. H® just wants to
show me off. Well, if it will make
him happy. I’ll go. but I’m not ter
ribly keen about it. I’m still a sim
ple little country girl at heart and
this sort of formal function always
scares me half to death.
And then, of course, there’3 al
ways the troublesome question of
what to wear. I do want to look
nice and I do want him to be proud
of me. And still I hate to go to
any expense for one afternoon.
However, I guess I’ll have to.
There’s a gown in the shop that I'd
love to have for this very occasion.
Perhaps if I hint hard enough. Ma
dame will let me wear it. It will be
good advertising for her, anyway.
If she doesn’t “fall" for my sub
tlety, I guess Gracia will take her
savings and invest.
It’s a very formal afternoon gown

fingers. Using a knife and fork
would look awkward if only because
of the attempt at e:;ct.ss elegance.
As far as the dry foods are con
cerned. common sense is a sufficient
guide in most cases. But the prob
lem arises when one is confronted
with some of U19 dampish delicacies
—like artichokes, asparagus, lobster
in the shell, or corn on cob. Should
they be eaten in private only? Be
cause a certa.in amount of handling
with tiie fingers seems unavoidable
in some of these cases.
Years ago it was quite proper to
pick up -l spear of asparagus
daintily with three fingers. Aspara
gus was a rare delicacy and one
hated missing any of its flavor. Also,
only a short section was edible. Cut
with the progress in cultivation of
asparagus, it is now possible to eat
almost three-fourths of the fresh
young spears—and all of a good
canned variety.
Asparagus now is eaten with a
fork—it's as heinous an offense to
use the fingers as to cut lettuce
•with a knife. It's the Job of the
housekeeper to test the fresh aspara
gus when sir* prepares it for cook
ing. and to cut off as much of the
lower end of the stem as seems
tough. If only the tender section is
cooked. ail of it can bo eaten easily
with a fork.
Artichokes are eaten partly with
the fingers. The soft core or heart
is loosened with a fork, but the petals
must be pu'.Ied off by hand, one by
one. dipped in the accompanying
uure anti eaten without tile aid of a
fork. Corn on cob, too, is picked up
with th« hand, although a rinail
corncob-holder now on the market
makes it unnecessary for the fingers
to touch the corn. On the whole,
eorn-on-eob is not exactly the dish
for a formal party. It's one of those
things you can't eat with any dig
nity.
Broiled lobster is a combination
fork and finger food. A little co-op
eration is given by the thoughtful
hostess who makes sure the claws
are cracked before serving, so that
meat can be pried out by a fork
without table disasters.

RETAINING BEAUTY,
TONE OFBLQNDE HAIR
Miss Huddleston Gives the Formula for a Home
Made Shampoo -Jell \\ hich She Recommends to
Keep the Natural Tint of Golden Tresses.
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON.
T TJ T i f -R or not one color of hair is considered more beautiful
yV than anothpr is of course a matter of personal opinion. How
ever, the possessor of blond hair naturally desires to retain
the color of her tresses since it’s beauty depends largely up0n its purity .
ot tone. Therefore, the blonde, due to the fact
that all hair tends to darken as one grows older,
i3 at a disadvantage unless she knows how to
overcome this natural condition.
There is no real danger in bleaching the hair,
difficulty arising only when one fails to find a
reliable operator who knows how to bleach the
hair without giving it a straw-like annearr,r,«*e. t --- „ *■■
Therefore the following formula for making : -f~
blonde hair shampoo will bo welcome. L5y u. R k .3
it every woman can keep her hair light, year V v
after year, if directions are followed. , ■
This formula makes sufficient shampoo jelly
for three cleansings and should be kept in a cov
ered glass jar when not in use. L j*
To one quart of cold water, add one finely M*
shaved cake of pure lemon soap and a pinch of ■ ;.
borax. Mix these ingredients together and place JOSEPHINE
in a sauce pan over a slow flame until thoroughly HUDC* ESTON
dissolved. Then set aside to cool and jell. ^
Pure lemon soap contains oil of lemon, so be sure you ask for
such soap. ^ A pinch of borax is equal to one-eighth teaspoonful.
Each shampoo will require about one-third of the amount of jell ;
made from the above proportions, and just before using add the stiffly
.. beaten white of one egg.
Advice to Girls
By Annie Laurie
CEAR ANNIE LAURIE):
1. When being asked out to
dinner who enters the restaurant
first?
2. What is the correct way to
eat a sandwich, for instance a
chicken? With a fork or by pick
ing up piece by piece with the
fingers?
2. Is it proper to help a young
man with his coat, when putting
it on or off?
4. I happen to be six months
older than the man I love. Is it
wrong to have him believe he is
six months older than l? Do you
think if I told him the truth it
would lessen his faith in me?
FAITHFUL.
AITHFUL: The lady follows the
head waiter who ushers the
couple to a table, after the gentle
man has indicated his preference as
to table.
2. A fork should be used. Never
under any circumstances use the
fingers.
2. Absolutely improper. The man
should put his coat on himself, prob
ably assisted by the waiter, but the
lady should never offer assistance.
4. Well, of course, it's woman’s
privilege to be coy about her age.
Sometimes frankness is best, but at
times it cannot hurt,'as king as the
difference is so slight. You will have
to be the best judge as to whether
the knowledge of your true age
would shake his faith in you. It
probably would, if you have fibbed
to him. for no man !ik»s to think
the girl ha loves would stoop to
falsehood.
Saturate the hair with warm
water, then apply a generous
amount of the jell. Work the soap
and water into a good lather, rinse
the hair and apply more shampoo
jell. Rinse the second lather from
the hair and scalp and apply a third.
In this way the hair and scalp is
thoroughly cleansed.
It is just as important that all
soap be rinsed from the hair as it
is that all dust and oil be removed,
from the scalp and hair. Therefore,
rinse the hair through several bowls
of clear water, or, better still use a
shower bath or one of th© bath
sprays that connect with the water
tap.
When possible, dry the hair In
the sun. When this is impossible, dry
the hair by hand, rubbing It with a
clean towel and moving the hair
about with the fingers until it is
dry enough to brush.
The above formula Is absolutely
harmless and may be used on a
child's hair without fear of Injury '•
to the hair or scalp in any way.

rarely blunder, but in their
zeal for Mother Graham's ease

hands. At Lillian's warning utter
ance of her husband’s name, and
hi3 quick switch of sentences, my

“I am not a child." she said, “to

“Why!" he stammered, but she cut

"You meant,” she said slowly,
while her face whitened, “that it

I did mean that if Mary had not

He drew forward a chair and put,

"You probably know as well as I."
he began, "that if a burglar can get
away without killing, he prefers to
do so. But he takes no chances on

TO fay what you mean and to
mean what you say, do not

however, are equally Important as
Mij, Flor, Hanid and Yam—the liV ^y

all because of Knarf, the little
shadow-boy, that they did, as you
will soon see.
It happened one afternoon that the
shadows were watching little Dinah
—Hanid's mistress—sewing a doily.
She was sewing very quickly and
her needle fairly flew. Mij, Flor.
Hanid and Yam looked on in admira
tion. As for Knarf, he turned away
with a sniff.
"What good is sewing?” he said in
contempt.
"It’s good for holes in stockings.’*
said Yam.
“—and rips In blouses,” added
Hanid.
"It’s good for making things to
wear.” put in Flor.
"—for things to wear anywhere.'*
said Mij, who, b^ing Flor a twin, al
wavs agreed with him.
"Pooh-pooh," said Knarf, "pooh
pooh.” The others didn't mind him.
They watched the little real-girl sow
ing the doi'y with as much admiral
tion as before.
“How many stitches are there in a
doily?” Yam asked suddenly.
“Five thousand." replied M!J and
Flor promptly. Hanid was more cau
tious. “It all depends on which
doily you mean," she said.
"On this doily.” said Yam. After
gating at it thoughtfully for several
moments, aha replied: "I can count
4.S33.” Then they turned to Knarf,
who was jumping up and down on a
particularly soft cushion on tha
couch.
"How many stitches can you j
count?” they demanded. a
“Three stitches.” said he with . ]
thinking. At thi3 they all exela1 /
in surprise, for anyone could 1
that there were more than that. J
you don t believe me. I’ll count them
for you. Rut,” he added slyly, "what
wall you give me if I do?”
So sure were the others that
Knarf was wrong that they wer»
yearly to give him anything.
“I’ll give you a penny.” said Tam.
“I’ll give you my desert,” sa.d
Flor.
“—and mine, too,” said Mij.
"I’ll give you a book with six pic
tures in it.” said Hanid.
After taking note of all these of
fers, Knarf smiled knowingly, and
said: “Now I’ll show you that I
am right.” With that he stepped ud
*;o Dinah's doily and in a loud vnics
called out: “One stitch, two stitch
three stitches. There,” he exclaimed
triumphantly, “I’ve counted three
stitches, neither more nor less.”
Tha others started back in as
tonishment. “But anyone can se»
that there are more than three
stitches!” they cried.
“Perhaps there are.” he admitted,
"but I said I could count only three,
and I did!”
“We didn’t mean that at all!” they
protested.
“Humph,” said the cunning shadiuv
boy, "you must always say what you
mean, even about stitches in a.
doily.” And though they would
gladly have disagreed with him, they
had to confess at length that he was
quite in the right.
"It's plain to be seen—” began
Flor.
