You can be nappy-footed just like
me. Use '"TIZ" and never suffer with
tender, raw, burning, blistered, swol-
len. tired, smelly feet. '"TIZ" and only
"T1Z" takes the pain and soreness
out Of corns, callouses and bunions.
AS soon as you put your feet in a
''TIZ' bath, you just feel the happi-
ness soaking in. How good your poor,
old feet feel. They want to dance
for joy. "TIZ" is grand. "TIZ" in
stantly draws out all the poisonous ex-
udations which puff up your feet and
cause sore, infiamed, aching, sweaty
smelly feet.
Get a 25 cent box of "TIZ" at anv
drug store or department store. Get
instant foot relief. Laugh at foot suf-
ferers who complain. Because your
feet are never, never going to bother
or make you limp any more.-Adver-
tisement.

Gus than they are to-day, | believe
that the 'women's Fighters were fight
