POWDER IN SHOES
as WELL As GUNS
Eoot= Ease to Be Added to Equip
ment of Hospital Corps
at Fort WnVna.


Under the above heading the Detroit
Free Press, among other things says:
"The theory is that soldiers whose feet
are in good condition can walk further
and faster than soldiers who have corns
and bunions incased in rawhide."
The Plattsburg Camp Manual advises
men in training to shake Foot-Ease in
their shoes each morning.
One war relief committee reports, of all
the things sent out in their Comfort Bags
or "Kits," Aliens Foot-Ease received
the most praise from the soldiers and
men of the navy. It is used by American,
French and British troops, because it
takes the Friction from the Shoe and
freshens the feet. There is no foot COM
forter equal to Aliens Foot-Ease, the
antiseptic, healing powder to be shaken
into the shoes and sprinkled in the foot
bath, the standard remedy for over IS
years for hot, tired, aching, perspiring,
sUnarting, swollen, tender feet, corns,
bUnions, blisters or callouses.
Why not order a dozen or more Csc.
boxes to-day from your Druggist or
Dept. store to mail to your friends in
training camps and in the army and navy.
