# How to Make Your Feet Feel Good

Army foot-care sheet: a grinning, bare-chested soldier sits on a bench drying his foot beside his boots and a can of G.I. foot powder, above three numbered rules and a small figure showering. The technique is faint: a relaxed, cheerful fellow-soldier models the habit.
