A simple way of making leaf
mold is to place a 12-inch layer
of leaves on the ground and wet
them down. Then apply about
one cup of a 6-8-6 fertiliser for
each 10 square feet of leaf pile

The fertilizer acts as a rot

be accomplished in from 8 to 12
months.
If the leaf mold is to be used

There is a correct way to walk.
It is described by foot specialists
as a “beautiful walk,” toes
straight ahead and parallel,
weight on the outside of the
feet, uqing big toe to propel the
body forward. The second recom
mendation is that .people' with
aching feet take special exer
cises to strengthen weakened
foot muscles. Tour good shoe
salesman perhaps could help
you out with simple exercises
that would make everyday walk
ing mileage easier on your two
feet.
Women who have to stand and
walk a lot should be very sure to
wear properly fitted and con
structed shoes to give support to
arches, and shoes that conform
to shape of the foot. Shoes
should be long enough to give
adequate freedom to the big toe.
This is most important.
If you are suffering with ach
ing feet don’t wait longer to give
prompt attention to your foot
defects. We do have, in many
towns, foot specialists. Most wo
