Your Feet are Showing ¢ By HELEN Considering the way some women | abuse their feet, you'd think they could buy new ones at any time. | They give better care to their vacuum cleaners and sewing ma- chines than they do their pedals: Shoes are purchased for style and appearance. Comfort and foot health are secondary. Often the shoes are too short or too narrow, or are selected without the slight- est regard for the contour of the foot. Chiropodists report that not ten women among 100 are free of F foot ills, mainly because of the pressure or friction of ill-fitting | shoes. Run-over heels, stiff and non- | porous soles, or shoes that have lost their original shape are often at the root of the trouble. The re- sults appear in the form of corns, calloused spots and ingrowing nails. It just doesn't make sense. Here 'isSwhat doctors advise for foot health: Wear shoes with ample room | around the toes and a snug sup-| port at heel and instep. When buy- | ing shoes, try on both shoes--your | feet may not be mates--and try | them on standing up. | Wear the right kind of shoe for | the right oceasion. For all-around, | ordinary wear there is no model better than the oxford type, with | soft uppers and flexible leather | soles that bend freely with the movements of the foot. : Do nop wear the same shoes two Bays running. Your feet will ap- breciate a change and it spells | economy in the long run. [ shoes on trees so they will retain | their shape. | If your feet are tired, and the | soles burn--as happens when you've | been shop-crawling all the day | long--bathe them in warm water in which soda has been dissolved. Dry them thoroughly, and then friction with mineral oil. Lie down | and keep your feet higher than | your hips for ten or 15 minutes. At bedtime, make it a practice to | wiggle your toes. You can do that JAMESON Distributed by King Features Syndicate Wear the right shoes for occasion. + * 4 while waiting for the sandman. Don't be a bathroom surgeon, Keep [digging corns and ingrowing nails with manicure scissors. A slight wound can invite infection. The flesh around the toenails, like the cuticle around the finger-nails, is | particularly susceptible to inflam- mation. Sprinkle a foot powder inside your shoes. Wear fresh hosiery every day. See that your stockings are ample in length. Short stock- ings, like short shoes, send the toes "into a huddle, often cause soft corns to form.

BUNDESEN, M.D, PALPITATION PHYSICIANS who specialize in the treatment of this or that organ ere increasingly aware that mind and body are knit together in in- numerable ways to form one whole. The things which affect the spirit --depression, anxieties, and frus- trations--are almost sure to be re- flected in the way the body per- forms. To this rule, the heart is no exception. Palpitation, or rapid and noticeable beating of the heart, has long been known to be connected with nervous conditions. More recently it has been demon- strated that other disturbances in the heart rhythm may develop during periods of emotional stress. Indeed, many physicians are be- ginning to believe that any state of anxiety which renders a person constantly unhappy can be more disabling than the actual changes in the hearth beat whick it pro- duces. > Type of Anxiety - Another disorder which seems to bes due to the same type of anxiety is one known as neuro- circulatory asthenia. Such pa- tients suffer from attacks of fa- tigue and weakness, palpitation of the heart, sweating, and simi- lar symptoms. What is known as psychotherapy or mental treat< 'ment may bring about a great im- provement in these persons, parti- cularly ' insofar as their ability to carry on their work is concerned. An interesting case is described of a soldier who developed neuro- circulatory asthenia when in the first World War. In the second World War he again developed the same disorder but, when he was separated from the service, the trouble disappeared. He was able to carry on his ordinary life as a | normal being, but when faced with the strain of military service, his disturbance became aggravated. Physical Examination The person with symptoms which seem to affect the heart not | only must have a careful physical examination, including an X-ray of the heart and an electrocardio- gram or electrical tracing of the heart beat, but also must be stu- died from the standpoint of his mental or emotional condition. Of course, if there is actual heart damage, the condition must be treated with the proper measures, including freedom from mental and physical strain. Then, efforts | must be made to reassure the pa- | tient. This can often be done by explaining that his symptoms are out of all proportion to any real damage to the heart. Often, advis~ ing more work and useful activi- ties, instead of rest, may in itself bring about greater improvement in such cases. Drugs are also of help in treat- ing -these patients. For example, sedatives may help to carry the patient over a period when he is subject to extra hard work or emo- tional excitement. . A patient with heart disease must be treated as a whole, and treat- ment not merely limited to increas- ing the amount of rest given to the heart. f QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | ES.: I have two cysts close to the corner of my mouth, What causes them?

Joan actually is a conservative girl from a staid and social family. She wants to do roles like "Clau- dia," which she performed in sum- mer stock last year, but it's the pin-up roles that gain her notice. "1t all started with my first Broadway role," she sighed over her lunch, which consisted of a large hunk of raw hamburger. "I was hired for a show called 'Beat the Band', in which I played a chorus girl who lived in the room behind an agent's office. While the other actors were talking, I walked across the stage in a bra, panties and a diaphanous dressing gown. "My family thought, of course, that I was playing the lead in the show. They saw it opening night at New Haven, where the Yale boys whistled as I walked across the stage. The family was shocked, 'and had trouble explaining to friends who saw the show." Play A Flop The play was a flop, but led Joan to a fine part in "Kiss and Tell," which brought her to Hollywood. She had a successful but not sen- sational career -- until "The Petty Girl." "The results were quite amazing," she admitted. "Never did I get so much publicity. I got all kinds of offers -- to play a hotchy-kootch dancer in one picture, a jungle princess in another, plus some fan- tastic offers for television, but each of them required that I bring my Petty girl outfit along. | . | Certain movie stars are proof |of what can be done to glamorize | |a woman.

Capsule Review "The Mating Season" gives Thel- ma Ritter fourth billing, which is one of the sillier aspects of the Hollywood system. She is obviously the star of the film, and Gene Tierney, John Lund and Miriam Hopkins give her good support. It's the story of a down-to-earth wo- man who poses as the cook in the home of her socially-rising son. The plot is somewhat fabricated but is played delightfully.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN When we are offered food, we should either accept it with a "Yes, thank you," or 'we should merely say, "No, thank you." Please let me repeat the last part of that sentence . . . "Or we should merely say, 'No thank you." We shouldn't add anything, no remark whatever, to that "No, thank you." All the person offering the food wishes to know, needs to know, is that you don't care to partake of the food being offered you. It is offensive to good taste . . . vulgar is the word for it . , . for a person to say, "No, thanks. I don't like lima beans" (or cauliflower or cheese or turnip or tongue or caviar or anything else--a commonplace food or a luxury--that is being of- fered). You may be terribly en- about our personal reactions to food shows that we haven't the slightest regard for other people, or for their likinggof the foods about which we are so unattractively commenting. Certainly suclf remarks as I have. quoted above don't add to other people's enjoyment of the foods that are being served. Food objectionable - to you may be a delicacy or a special enthusiasm to other people . . . and what right have you to spoil their enjoyment? So just say that "No, thank you," and say it graciously, with apprecia- tion for the courte y of the offer. Don't say it as if you were grunting an "ugh," -or shaking your head dejectedly, or as if you were having a spasm at the mere mention of that particular food. thusiastic about your food notions, hug them to you with devotion, feel called on to "tell the world" about your fancies . . ticularly cares about your idio- syncrasies. - Indeed, everyone is hop- ing that you will just say the polite "No, thank you" that is completely adequate for the circumstances. Please, please resist saying any of these vulgarisms--which we hear, alas, too often: "It doesn't agree with me." "I like it . . . but it doesn't like me." "My doctor warned me that I mustn't eat that." "I can't eat that , .. it repeats." (Horrors.) "Every time I eat that I taste it for days afterward." "That makes my skin break out in a rash." ? "I ate so much last night that my stomach is upset. So I'm 'going easy on food today." Every one of these comments is coarse, tawdry, repulsive. To talk . but no one par-| THE DANCE . . .TICKETS , . CORSAGE Dear Mrs, Beeckman: I've been invited by a girl to a {formal dance to be given by her | school class: in the ballroom of a large local hotel. I have accepted, but nothing was said about the tickets. Do you think that I should | speak to her about paying for the | tickets, if there are tickets to be { bought? And also should I send her | a corsage? Don, | Since the girl invited you, she is |the hostess, and, as hostess, she supplies the tickets, if there are | tickets to be bought. .(She should have made this clear to you, and {she will probably mention it when' |you and she make final arrange- - | ments as to time for calling for her.) | And of course she will be enchanted to have you send her a corsage. So do this, if your budget permits. However, perhaps you'd better men= tion your plan to her, casually, . for nowadays at many schools cor-" | sages aren't "done" or permitted.
