If you have sore feet, tired feet, sweaty

Mrs. Crockett. of JeffersonVille, TlZ DID
1T. Mr.. Crockett says;
"After the second treatment she walked
downstairs one foot at a time. She had not
been able to walk downstairs before in the
psst five years, except by stepping down on
each step with one foot at time. This is re-
markable. Send FIVE more boxes"
No matter what ails your feet or what
under heaven you have used without getting
relief, just use TIZ. It's different. 1t acts
right off. It cures sore feet to stay cured.
It's the only foot remedy ever made which
acts on the principle of drawing cut all the
poisonous exudations which cause sore feet.
Powders and other iemedies merely clog up
the pores. TIZ cleans them out and keeps
them clean. You will feel bstser the first
time it used. Use it week and you can
forget you ever had sore feet. There is moth
ing on earth that can compare with it.

ped rapidly to esth from considerable
height because of inability to cout;ol the
balloon, A. Holland. Forbes, ofiBridge-
port, OF vice president of the Asro Club
of America, and J. O. Yates, of New
York, suffered severe injuries Tuesday
night altar flight of 400 miles from
Quincy, Ill. Their balloon, the Viking,
descended With snch precipltsncy that
both aeronaunts were bruised and stuu-
ned and the balloon was partly wrecked.
The balloon came to earth near Center,
KY, and dropped through the final 100
feet OF space like stone. The balloon
lists will recover. They were unconscious
all Tuesday night, largely because OF
cold.
Both men are suffering from severe
bruises and sprains, bat they are not
seriously injured. Although confined
t. thele beds, they expect to travel with.
10 two or three days.
"We left Quincy, ILL.,, at 6:55
O'Clock Monday evening"" said Mr..
Forbes. "We were hoping to strike
favorable air currents from the west
that might give US 8 chance at the
long-distsnce record. We we're carried

Shortly afterRard We shot up to 2O,6OO
feet through the snow. The cold was
so intense that We became ber umbed

IN THE tIEGRET'S NEST.

The Angel who numbers the birds for the
God Of All Things That Be
Had come afar from his iourneying over the
land and the sea,
And he spate to the Lord of the Sparrovs:
"True was my count today,
Them that were slain l numbered, and the
tparrows that fell by the way;
And down in the reeds and water-grass OF an
island in the west
I counted the young Of an egret that starved
in the egret's nest.
"And some they were slain that man might
live, for so hast Thou made the: Law
And some for the lust of their shining plumes
and all OF them I saw;
And counted all whose songs were hushed
within their little throets-
The slain for the Law Of Livitg, and the
slain for their shining coats.
