  1. The Care of Our Feet

    Share Share Post
    The care or our feet is very important as we could not enjoy our life as we do without the feet. We could no go romping about the fields in the long sunny days of summer if the feet were injured.
    Long ago people never wore boots or shoes. In some parts of the country this custom is still continued, but not in this district.
    When people have corns on their feet, they put a lot of "washing-soda" in the water. It is said to be good for corns.
