And well fc&ve an ke eream cone together!" , These aren't the «xact words of the song, but they would have »eeh fitting in 1904,, as well as suitable for 1954. For the St. Louis World a Fair ground was the birthplace of the ice cream cone in 1904--just 50 years a^t). •, From the first cone born of necessity at a pastry stand located ittSt to an. ice cream cone booth at the Fair, the ice cream cones turned Out today number in the multi-millions every year. A native of Damascus, Syria--Ernest A. Hamwi--is credited with originating the first cone holder for ice cream. Hamwi had a concession at the St LoUis Fair to sell Zalabia, a crisp wafer-like Pastry baked on a flat vflhJB* iron served thin with sugar or other sweets. The Zalabia recipe came from countries around the Persian Gulf. Hamwi lielps Out One day when the ice cream booth ran out of dishes because of the terrific demand for its product, Hamwi quickly assisted by rolling out one of the thin wafer-lifte waffles into the shape of a cone or cornucopia. When the cornucopia filled with ice cream was handed to an eager customer, his reaction was spontaneous. The cone wa6 on its way to becWhinga great American institution. The combination cone-shaped pistry and ice cream became known as the World's Fair Cornucopia. It was not until 1906 that the word "cone" instead of "cornucopia" began to identify the haridy and delicious ice cream container. , Rolled and Molded The modern ice cream cone developed along two patterns, the rolled cone and the molded cone. The rolled product was a baked waffle in round shape which was at first rolled by hand, later mechanically, as % soon as it came off the griddle. In a few seconds, it hardened in the form of the crisp cone that is known today. The molded cone was shaped in one of two ways; either the batter was poured into a shell and a core inserted oh which the cone wafc baked, or the cone was formed in a mold which was split so that the cone en tha form or oin could be removed without difficulty.

Care of. the Feett Improperly fitting sftioes sCre the most common cause of pain% ful feet, yet many people, women in particular, pay more at' terttion to style than to qomfort in the selection of shoes. the educational committee of the^ Illinois State Medical society points out in a health talk. Shoes should be fitted to giVfe the wearer stability and balance in walking, certainly thfe body structure is not in proporttOii with extremely high and riarroW heels, which are present day dictates of fashion. Since arches do not usually ••fall" or "break" of themselves, it is reasonable to assume that external irritation is responsible, and usually the shoes and Stockings are the culprits. On the other hand, arthritis frequently causes painful feet, especially ih older persons. Disturbances of the circulation may be responsible for foot pains and nerve inflammations. The condition "fallen arches" seems to occur most often in women and results from some injury to one of the main bones of the foot known as the astragalus. People who stand long hours are likely to be disturbed by painful f6et due to continuous strain on the arches. In such cases the pain is the result of rigidity of the tissues and of spasms of th^ muscles in their effort to overcome the strain. „, Twenty-six joints exist among tbfe tomes iheftch loot from ankle to toe tipar.d sinfce joints aire purely mechanical methods of changing the direction of forces they play a large part in the flexibility of the feet. Ciillou&s and corns are two corrfrhoft ailments. The former is a thickening of the normal skin caiised by excessive pres&ure for a prolon'ged peridd of time, corns on the other hand, are thickenipgb of the skin together with the callous, but in the central portion there is a core that penetrates into the deeper tissiies. Both of these conditions can be avoided, if ade4uate attention is paid to the dare of the feet. Bunions are a protrusion of the bone, usually at the bdse of the large toe. Women are tile chief victims of this condition, caused by the spreading of the metatarsal bones. Their development is again encouraged by the wearing of high heels. Ingrown toenails are another aource of painful fefct. These can be avoided if the nail is cut at right angles to its growth. The corners should be squar$ rather than rounded. This will prevent the nail from penetrating the soft skin tissues. (Since the feet accumulate dirt ajijfl peroration, they should be bajthed fre^tfefttly and ciirfefully with warm so&jiy wiater. Special attention should be paid to the webbing between the toes to litevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. Since feet carry the weight of the body, postUre plays an important jiart in the chre of the feet. Standing with the feet pointing outward, instead of fopward, causes undue strain on the ligaments connecting the foot bones, especially on the, inner side, of the long arches. The resulting slight a&dj&ft&i gibwa tb Severe $ain. ' ' A little common sense in the selection of foot gear and personal htibits of good hygiene in the care of the feet will do much to keep you free of painful feet.
