Why go limping around with ach-
ing, puffed-up feet-feet so tired
chafed, sore and swollen you can
hardly get your shoes on or off? Why
don't you get 25-cent box of "TIZ"
from the drug store now and glad
den your tortured feet?
''TIZ" makes your feet glow with
comfort; takes down swellings and
draws the soreness and misery right
out of feet that chafe, smart and
burn. "TIZ" instantly stops pain
in corns, callouses and bunions.
"TlZ" is glorious for tired, aching,
sore feet. No more shoe tightness-
no more foot torture.-Adv.

PLAN FOR BUILDING
BIGGER AND BETTER
CITY AND VALLEY
Commercial Club Governors
Take Final Action For
Reorganization

That Salem is to have a modern ef
ficient commercial organization was fac
conclusion reached last night by the
board of governors of the commercial
club, when they made final arrange.
ments for the Reorganization of the
commercial club of this city.
After having given the matter care.
tnl attention for long time, viewing
1t from various angles, and seeing what
is being accomplished in other places
with tneir modernized organizations
the board of governors took final steps
to secure for this city one of its great
ecst needs.
The plans proposed will provide for
an organization to embrace all the
wide-awake citizens Of Salem in one
body, constructed on modern business
principles. This will greatly increase
its efficiency and make it a much larg.
er force for the upbuilding of this city
and community from civic standpoint,
as an industrial city and as the CONNER.
cial center Of the wonderful Willamette
valley is their belief
"That there is need for closer co.
operation among the citizens for the
advancement Of Salem and the valley,
no one familiar with conditions can
successfully controvert, said a prom.
inent citizen today. "Like many Of
the cities of the west, we have lacked
that cohesiyenes essential to the most
effective united effort for accom-
plishing desired ends, civic and com.
mercial.
"llere is an opportunity for demon.
strating that we as citizens are made
of the right stuff, and can get together
and stay together in a united work for
the common good.
Z" But to make OF the recognized
commercial body what it may and
should be will require the hearty co.
operation of all who are sincere in their
desire to have a greater and better
Salem. Men must not only give the
movement tneir approval, but give also
their service in making the organiza.
tion effective in it's work. "
The reorganization will begin at once
and will be under the guidance of ex.
perienced men.
