CUSTOMS FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Who among us would say to-day, Il
never use a Dentifrice; never have TOP
Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may
seem. not one person in 1000 used a
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 | 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: Combining 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

the tree, like rounding bench.
''What is your dogs name?" asked
the old man, who was slightly deaf.
Aristotle" said Brother.
"Aristopple? Arstopple?" repeated
the old man. That's queer name.
Here, Aristopple, you get under the
bed" SO he put the dog under the
curved bed.
The reason why the little old man
was so bent, like barrel hoop, was
that he slept in the rounding bed. If
you curl up that way every night for
years, and never stretch out at all, Ii
will naturally make you round in the
back. OF course 1t is all right for
child to curl up round, because he
often stretches out again, both when
he is asleep and when he is awake.
"Now, my boy" said the little old
man, 1--WE will go upstairs, you and l,
and your little sister can take off her
clothes here, and we will throw her
down pair of pajamas."

house," asked Brother.
There certainly is" said the
dweller In the tree. "This house Is
mostly upstairs. You see, this hollow
tree is broken off at the top, and my
stove-pipe goes right up to near the
top. And have two rooms above
this"
SO Brother AID the tree man climbed
up the little ladder to the next room,
and the tree man threw down pair
of his pajamas to Sister. When she
was dressed In them she was very
funny to look at. She had to roll
them up ut the ankles and the wrists,
l assure you.
Then Brother took off his wet
clothes and got into another pair of
the tree mans pajamas. The tree
man had several pairs of pajnmas,
even though he did live In tree.
"Have you had any supper" asked |
the tree man, when the wet clothes
were all hung up In the third story |
to dry and they were all downstairs
together.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of ID.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony OF thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kimer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact.
so many people claim, that it fulfls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
