CUSTOMS FIFTY YEARS AGO

Who among us would say to-day, Il
never use Dentifrice; | never have to-"
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,

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: Conhning 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

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plaln-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 it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation 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 a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

These adventures furnished vivid ma
terial for thrilling episodes in his sea
novels.
After this he served in the navy in
various capacities, storing up inval-

thousands in the pages of his books.
At the age of Fl he married. This
fiery, irritable and strOng-willed man
was easily Influenced throughout his
life by his wife. to whom he was
deeply devoted. Through her he aban-

Not until he was 80, however, did
he begin to write. His first novel was
dull beyond belief. Nevertheless his
friends urged him to try again. This
time he laid the scene In his own land
and wrote of patriotism, the passion
of his own heart. "The Spy" appeared
In 1921 and was soon SO popular as to
make the largest sales yet won by an
American writer.
Cooper had written his first novel
to prove that he could invent n more
interesting tale than one he had just
read. He likewise wrote his first sea
story to rival ScOtt's S'The Pirate" and
to prove that the author of a sea novel

Italian "Cjty of Crime

The only town in the world which
can boast of possessing more criminals
than law-abiding folk is the Italian
city of Artena, which is known as the
City of Crime. For several hundred
years nearly every criminal who has
escaped prison or done time in Italy
has emigrated to Artena, and today
practically every inhabitant of the
place is criminal or the child of a

COME time since an American pub
- Usher invited a group of men, in
~ Guiding among others Roosevelt,
Barnes, Spears, Connolly and the
writer to select the six greatest TO-
mances of the sea. "The Two Ad-
mirals' was the one of Cooper's sea
tales included by unanimous vote.
Well does the book deserve it's Sc
lection for it is without question the
greatest of all the novels of the sea,
all of which have read and not few
of which / have written.
= It has more of the best Of Cooper,
and less Of his worst, than any of his
naval or other romances. No writer
was ever more at home on ships
deck than Cooper-nOt even Marryatt.
And all his knowledge of the great
deep, the way of ships therein, the
habits and customs of Sailors has been
utilized in full measure in this immor-
tai story. 1t rings true alike to sea-
men and landsmen.
There is a subsidiary story concern
ing the love affairs Of gallant young
sea officer, Sir Wycherly Wychecombe,
and Mildred Dutton- Bluewater, a dam
sci as lovely, as delicate and rs inane
as Cooper at his worst could describe.
Whenever she appeared she was either
suffused with bushes or bursting into
tears. On one occasion she Wept
steadily for above one half hour!
The supposed daughter of drunk
en-, retired officer and woman of the
middle class, Mildred turns out to be
the lawful niece of one of the two ad-
mirals, just in time to soothe his dying
hours; while her husband, Virginian,
turns up in the nick of time with the
papers in his hands to prove his sue
cession to the ancient title and lands
of Wychecombe. All of which is ex-
cessively tiresome.
Fortunately the greater part of the
book is taken up with the doings of
the Two Admirals. The puerile. pre-
mid-Victorian romance will easily be
forgotten but the remainder will rich
ly repay the reader.
In 1745 when George II reigned in
England the young pretender, Charles
Edward, made that daring and unsuc-
cessful dash for a crown which came
to bloody end at Culloden in the fol-
lowing year. 1t is that abortive but
gallant effort which furnishes the mo-
tive for the action of the novel.
Vice Admiral of the Red Sir Gervaise
Cakes commanded a well fitted, well
fleet of ships of-the-line which had
been cruising in the Bay of Biscay. AS
ISOLATED with him was Richard Blue
water, rear admiral of the White, Sec
ond in command. These two men,
both welded to the service alone. had
been shipmates and friends, during
naval career Of nearly forty years.
Cakes was a typical English admiral,
a superb sailor, a downright fighter;
Bluewater his complement and oppo-
site, a subtle thinker and a brilliant
tactician. The combination was ideal,
as was the completeness of friend
ship, not to say an affection, as sin
cere as it was lasting. Nothing had
ever broken 1t; nothing, it was be-
lieved, ever would break it.
In but one point did the true friends
differ. Cakes was Wing, Bluewater
a Tory. 1t did not seem possible, how
ever, for political consideration to in
terrupt their warm relations. The
bold adventure IF Charles Edward
