Many minor foot problems. Which frequently become major discomforts, can be prevented by proper shoes. One of these is the corn, which, is a horny thickening of the skin caused by faction or pressure. The common locations for corns are on the skin covering the small joints of the toes. The most vulnerable spot is the little toe which, with , Improperly fitting shoes. is 1 Wedged between t!~e leather of the Shoe and the underlying bone. The result is pressure and friction, both of which can be avoided by wearing; shoes of the proper size and sha{je. Calluses are similar to corns in that they. too,, are caused by., pressure and friction, but a . larger area-of the skin is affected. Calluses occur most frequent- ily on the sole of the foot or j over the heal area. Again proper- ! ly fitting shoes and hosiery will > help prevent further progress in corn and callus formation. Bunions, seen most commonly in women, develop from wearing • shoes that are too short and too pointed. When the shoe does not correspond' to 'the shape of the foot, the -resultant squeezing of the toes, causing the great toe j to be cramped and bent, may- re- ; suit in <a bunion. Foot strain is another condi- j tion causing tired, aching feet, i It is a frequent complaint of persons who must stand on their feet for long periods of time and -- who^ a re* "not * w e a the*«^ppope r. footgear. High heels, for example, should not be worn by women who must stand for hours in carrying on their work. These are permissable for dress, but an •xford type shoe is more suitable for long hours of standing. • Foot strain can be overcome riiitl '" 1111 anS Weir'tftling shoes. Very often special arch supports nr pads may be required, but these should not be selected at random by an individual, for they may produce even further strain. Contrast foot baths Ix-lp to relieve foot strain. These consist of either soaring or spraying the foot or ankle for one minute with warm water and one minute with cool water. .The procedure should be carried on for at least fifteen minutes morning and evening:. The feet should then be" dried thoroughly. A simple dusting powder can be used. In persons with dry skin, massaging the in oily cream is helpful, . Older people, especially those with hardening of the ^arteries and diabetes, must be particularly careful of their feet. Their feet should be kept immaculately clean and free from pressure spots t.i prevent irritation and inflammation. Special care-should be paid to trimming the toenails to avoid '-any cut or scratch which could easily become infected, a real hazard to persons with poor circulation and diabetes. Be kind-to your reet. Care for fht in well so they can take you where you want to go in the vears ahead.

Dressel, Registered Representative Branch Offices: Inion S t a t i o n Bldg. Chit-ago, Illinois Board of Trade Bldg. Indianapolis, Ind. Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier has recommended that all persons who must take the drivers' license examination pre- -pare themselves for it in advance by studying the current provisions of Illinois traffic laws. Thirty-two changes were made in the uniform act regulating traffic on highways ,in the last session of the Legislature, he pointed out. The provisions of that act, as it now reads, are explained in "Rules of . the Road," a booklet distributed free by the Secretary of State's office. Copies of the booklet may be obtained at drivers' license examihing stations throughout the state or by writing to Charles F. Carpentier, Secretary of State, Springfield, 111. As a., guide, .Mr. Carpentier listed the following things 'kn applicant should know before taking the test: - Your car should be in good mechanical condition. Keep both hands on the wheel; do not put your -arm on the window ledge. Observe posted speed limits at all times. Come to a complete stop at every stop sign. Keep in the proper lane; do not cross the center line, do not strad- Advise Driver's License Applicants To Study Provisions Of Current Law die lanes. Give the' proper hand and arm signals for turning and stopping; hand and arm extended horizontally for left turn; hand and arm extended upward for right turn; hand and arm extended downward for slow or stop. Be sure you can park parallel between two other cars. • Reckless driving is operating a motor vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property. At night, dim youi Iieadlights when within not less than 350 feet from an approaching car. A flashing yellow light" means slow down and* proceed with caution. " A flashing red light means come to a complete stop. , The lights on a car must be turned on from sunset to sunrise. The foot brake on your car must be capable of stopping it within ,30 feet when you are traveling 20 miles an hour. Always park your car at least 20 feet from a pedestrian crosswalk at an intersection. If you change your name by marriage or change your address, notify the Secretary of State within'ten days.> If you should lose your license, apply for al duplicate at once. It is against the law to drive, at such a slow rate of speed that you impede the normal flow of traffic. ... Never r overtake and pass another car .when on a curve or when approaching the crest of a hill. When yiou have passed another car on the left, return to the right hand lane ^s soon as you have safely cleared the other car. All hand and arm signals should toe given not less than 100 feet from the point at which the turn or stop is ta be made. E>o not overtake and .pass another car within 100 feet of any bridge, viaduct or tunnel or when within 100 feet or crossing any, intersection or railroad* crossing. In making either a right or a left turn, the driver of a motor vehicle must yield the right-ofway to all pedestrians crossing the intersection in compliance with the law. _ f Stop signs are octagonal, caution signs are square, slow signs are diamond shaped, railroad pros* sing signs are circular.
