PARENTS, READ THIS
How a Father Has Learned to
 Save Shoe Bills.

My son is very hard on shoes, so keeping him properly shod has been quite an expense to me, " writes MT. J. Allison Allen, of Amity, Arkansas.
 But since l started to buy Ne6lin- soled shoes for him l have found that 1t costs only about third as much to keep him in shoes.
 This is because Ne6lin Soles are so tough and durable that they wear very long time. Shoe bills are kept down because you don't need so many pairs.
 You can get Ne51in-soled shoes at almost any good shoe store. They come in all styles and for all members of the family. Ne6lin SoIes are also available everywhere for re-soling. They are produced by scientific pro- cess to be what soles ought to be: con- fortable, waterproof and long-wearing. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to OutWear any other heels.

products will be made more largely available to "the less favored nations of the world," by series of orders today by the War Trade Board re- moving many export restrictions. The board said it's action was in line with it's previously announced policy of en- couraging the resumption of normal trade relations as rapidly as possible, and was made possible by an increase in the supply of food stuffs which has resulted from the economy of the American people.
 Removals from the export conser- vation list include a large number of beef products and vegetable oils, the free exportation of which the board believes will be of particular benefit to the northern European neutrals.

In the last two years we have had mary official
statements from Washington that are fine examples
of what official statements ought not to be. Early
oUtgivings about that melancholy airplane business
were the most haSrant example. If the first state
ments that were made with official sanction about
airplane construction had been made by private per-
sons who were trying to sell the public stock on the
strength Of them, the postofice department would
have shut them out of the mails and prosecuted
their authors. Less fagrantly some other govern
ment agencies have offended.
What they call window-dressing in Lombard street
and pufery in p~atent-medicine advertising has no
right place in an official statement to the public.
