Soldiers' Feet
Dear Aunt Daisy, I wonder if you would think it worth while to suggest over the air in one of your sessions, what a great benefit a
small piece of pumice might be to a soldier. It is wonderful for relieving the feet after much walking. I am never without it in my bathroom, and I am sure that if the boys have a chance to bathe their feet after a long march, and rub away that hard skin which forms, they would gain much comfort. What made me think of this was a photograph of a soldier having his feet attended to by a chiropodist after a long route march.-"Mrs. S." (Auckland), Yes, indeed, I think it is excellent. Nearly everybody keeps a piece of pumice in the bathroom; and yet I suppose few of the men thought of including a piece when they packed up, I should think some corn pads would be a relief also. What can be worse than a corn, either hard or soft? And anything which will help quickly, or relieve the pressure of the boot, should be a real boon to a soldier.
