  2. Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    The people long ago wore boots until they were about sixteen years of age. The children go barefoot in Summer but not in Winter in this locality. The water that is used for washing feet is thrown out because it is said that it is not right to leave the water in the house. Mr Donlan is the bootmaker in this district.
