Many months of comfort at little
expense is the way Charles A. Pear
son Of San Diego, California, sums up
his experience with Ne5lin Soles. Mr..
Pearson had two pairs of shoes re-
soled with Ne0lin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes II will have to get new shoes
sometime, but so far as the soles are
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new"
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Ne6lin Soles,

flexible and waterproof, these soles
are an important factor in cutting

Our Promise
AT Present ". A.. A., era ga g.. - - ,.,. -
By EARL GOODWIN.

At Present We Are About s7OOOO Short Of Pulling

This city owes to pensioners the police and FIRE List
nearly $4,000 To one man. for instance disabled bv nv
trouble brought by exposure at fires which he was h
ing to save the city we owe $S07 We owe this money
because for years we kept alive pension system Of long
dead era We would retire fireman or policeman and
then make up pension fund out Of Police Court fines and
dog taxes If the fund low either the underworld was
due for terrific police combng for fines or the dependent
pensioners went on reduced ratiOns hckety system
From 1911 to 1915 the funds ran low, requiring pro rata
deductions from all pensions, amounting to $6s41O We
owe that money, and raise in taxes Heaven knows
and yet have not been able to get that item through
Congress.
This is a case where law and equity do not jibe.
Perhaps under the law the retired veterans Of the police
force and fire department entitled only to what scraps
throw at them from the ra but under all moral laws
we OWE them what we morally promised to pay them.
