Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may
seem, not one person in 1000 used
Dentifrice-or even 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: 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

put it down carefully where he had

He really did seem TO know some

lively enthusiasm, the pieces that had
been set out on the table. One piece,
as to whose authenticity my uncle had
entertained serious doubts, Montani
unhesitatingly pronounced genuine and
stated very plausible reasons for his
opinion.
On the whole, he was an interesting

that he was spending the night at an
