When your feet are so tired they feel
like stumps, when they ache so that
they hurt way up to your heart, when
you shamble your feet along and it
seems as though all the misery you ever
had has settled in your feet, look at
the happy TIz man i'll the picture.
You can be happy-footed just the
same If you have corns and bunions
that everybody seems to step on, just
think of this happy TIZ man. He had
corns and bunions, too. This man used
TIZ, and now he has no more tender,
raw, chafed, blistered, swollen, tired,
smelly feet, corns, callouses or bunions.
As soon as you put your feet in b TIZ
bath, you feel the happiness soaking in.
It's like mountain ozone to lungs.
Nothing else but TIZ can give you
this happy foot feeling. Don't accept
any substitutes.

tally she was fully as strong as either
of her brilliant brothers, David Dud-
ley. Stephen j. or Cyrus W., and she
certainly was as good If not better
judge of character
She once wrote an appreciation Of
Dickens in which she declared the
world lost its greatest actor when Boz
became a writer. She gave descrip-
ton of one Of the Dickens readings in
New York that was mastery in its
yividness Of detail. Such versatility
as she credited Dickens with display
ing as he assumed the character Of
first one and then another of his crea-
tons, the pathos, the humor, the trag-
edy he put into tone; the marvellous
way in which he stirred the emotions
OF old and young in his audience,
would appear TO be a bit extravagant
were it not that now and then some
old man, looked upon as stern and I'M
emotional. tells with faltering voice
how he stood in line all one night to
buy q ticket to one of Boz's readings

old heartstrings still atune TO the mag
