a clearly, wholesome, healing, antiseptic
powder to be shaken into the shoes which
has given rest and comfort to tired
and aching feet in all parts Of the world.
1t cures while you walk. Over 10000
testimonials Of cures Of smarting, swol-
len, perspiring feet. 1t prevents friction
and wear of the stockings and will save
in your stocking bill ten times it's cost
each year. limitations pay the dealer a
larger profit, otherwise you would never
be offered substitute when you ask for
Aliens Foot Ease, the original powder
for the feet. limitations are not adver-
tised because they are not permanent.
For every genuine article there are
many limitations. The imitator has no
reputation to sustain-the advertiser has.

Green wood.

When speaking last week about it's
getting dry we had no idea that there
would be such q fall of rain the next
night, but it came. followed by high
wind and so cold that they expected
another frost, but it was prevented by a
gentle wind as South Paris remarked.
But the shower of the season, up-to-
date, occurred late Tuesday evening,
amounting to tempest for a while, &C.
companied by vivid lightning and heavy
thunder, so that some persons arose and
dressed themselves for fear of what
might happen. No damage reported as
yet, except the lightning working up
one telephone pole into oven wood.

toned here that the fifth child was born

since first learning 1t, and the more fire.
quently as the years come and 20. Read
ing the death Of so many old people,
many of whom were great in the eyes of

to 1t. Not long ago the obituary and
