Pride is bad. Self-Reapect is good. Doing business with a
bank increases your self-respect. Sometimes it punctures
your pride. In both cases it renders you a real service.

You have seen, in the famous stat-
ue, how they bend and point and dive!
How straight the toes, how raised the
arch, how the whole foot fiexes and
curves with the spirit of joyous mo-
tion.
Welt may the modem woman envy
this ancient god the beauty of his
feet. Such perfection has disappeared
almost completely, due to the mischie-
vous effects of the stiffsoied shoe.
Fallen arches, cramped and misshap-
en toes—these are the common de-
formities of 85 per cent of the women
of today.
But there is still a way to preserve
the natural beauty of the foot. Wear
Cantilever*8hoes. They hug the arch
and support ft. The flexible shank
encourages the muscles to exercise
and strengthen, thus correcting and
preventtngQlat feet. The natural ir-
ner sole-line keeps the toes pointing
straight ahead, as Nature meant that
they should.
