SHOES IN SONG AND STORY

Shoes have their tradition of song
and story, writes Wainwright Evans
In Nationals Business. We all know
Cinderella, hut few have heard of
Rhodope, the Egyptian maiden who
had the most beautiful foot to be
found along the Nile. One day when
she was at her bath a discriminati ting
eagle flew down and carried off her
sandal. which he dropped by way of
a suggestion at the feet of the king.
Of course the king put his heralds
right on the job, took hand in the
search himself, found his Cinderella,
and made her queen of Egypt.

who, about the year 3O3 were con-
verted to Christianity. Together they
went north into France, spreading the
gospel. They supported themselves
by making shoes, which they sold TO
the natives at a very low price. Pre-
sumably they undersold all competi-
tors. At any rate, possibly with the
encouragement and connivance of the
local chamber of commerce, they were
finally put out of the way by the I'M

another box but have felt the pain but

CUSTOMS FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Who among us would say to-day, Il
never use Dentifrice; I never have to-"
Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may
seem, not one person in 900 used q
Dentifrice-or even a tooth brush.
So to-day, after more than 80 years of
persistent publicity of Aliens Foot=Ease,
the Antiseptic Powder for the Feet, not
many well-turned-out people care to con-
fess, You know l never have to use a
Powder for the Feet!'
More than One Million five hundred
thousand pounds of Powder for the Feet
were used by our Army and Navy during
the war.
The reason is this: Confning the feet
in Leather or Canvas Shoes is bound to
create friction more or less. Aliens Foot
Ease removes the friction from the shoes
1t is this friction which causes callouses,
corns and bunions. You know what fric-
ton does to your motor-car axle. Why
not remove it from your footwear by
Shaking into your Shoes today, Aliens
Foot=Ease, the clearly, wholesome, heal
ing, Antiseptic powder? Get the habit,

as yet, imperfect world.-Adv.
