YOU MEN WHO PAY THE
FAMILY SHOE BILLS

Tramping l8 miles day. Mr.. H. M.
Foreman, mail carrier of Allentown.
Pa, found that shoes with ordinary
soles last about one month. But he
says a pair of Neolin-soled shoes gave
him more than nine months of service.
In which time he walked over 1000
miles.
His experience shows how YOU NAV
save shoe money by providing your
family with Nl0lln-a0igi SHOES. which
give extra wedT where Ctl.Gr shoes wear
out quickest.
You can get Neolin-soled shoes in
any type of shoe you want. Prices
are about the same as for shoes that
give only ordinary wear, sometimes
they are even less. Ii your dealer
hasn't the style you want, he can get
it for you quickly. Remember, Ne6lin
Soles are created by science to be what
soles should be. They are available
everywhere for residing as well as on
new shoes. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.
Akron, Ohio. who also make Wingfoot
Heels-guaranteed to outwear any
other heels.

now that the revelations are practically
finished that the picture begins to stand

Even yet the picture is not complete. 1t
probably never will be, for the Reptile is
already taking on new forms, is already busy
with new plots of corruption Great pieces
of IFS body have been hewn away or killed
for exposure to the light kills it-but the
remnants are infinitely greater than all

and put on new heads and newly poisoned
fangs, as often and as fast the injuries
are inflicted. Moreover, even these secret
services have often never seen the form of
