Prints Letter on Use Of

Whereas there are doubts in

to its use.

CONSERVATIVES AND
PROGRESSIVES

A business man who recently re-
turned from France, was telling how
conservative people are in that coun-
try and how they won't move out of
their old ruts. They are not very
strong on advertising. If q merchant
IS asked to use publicity methods, he
will often say, "If | should advertise
and get more business, would have
TO enlarge my SHOW and put on more
help.
he hustlinG American business
man IS just the opposite. He is always
planning for the time when he can
branch out and handle more goods,
which OF course means occupying
more room and employing more
helpers.
That is one reason why American
prosperity has been so much greater
than the business success of more
conservative nations of Europe. 1t
also suggests why some business con-
Germs are stationary while others 20
ahead. Some men do not have the
courage to branch out for bigger
business, while others arc constantly
planning for more trade, and are
developing the advertising campaigns
that produce it.

pride to us that a group Of able scien-
lists say we are not descended from
monkeys, but that monkeys are degen-
crate descendants Of our own race.

human remains indicate that our fam
lily is much older than we supposed.
This Is very nice. but the accompany

finds in running up family trees. These
ancestors Of ours who thrOve SO many
aeons ago were impossible people so
cially from all accounts, and we are
wonderful improvements upon them in
every way.
Gratitude that our race may feel In

HAD FIGHT FOR EXISTENCE
Lizard Embryo Successfully Resisted
Efforts CT Moss Plant to Prevent
It's Natural Development.

During his sojourn in the south of
Europe, French naturalist had the
rare opportunity of observing an in
tensely interesting struggle for exist
enre between an egg and moss
plant.
The egg was that of lizard which
had been deposited on cushion Of
moss. 1t was inclosed by a white
protective covering Of leatherlike
toughness. The moss on which the tip
of the egg rested secreted at the point
of contact a substance that gradually
dissolved the leathery shell of the
egg. When there was no longer any
resistance, the stem of the moss plant
penetrated the shell and sen, its
branches through the substance of the
egg. emerging at the opposite end.
But the egg was equal to the emtr
gency. 1t enveloped the stem of tn.
moss inside the egg with me,l
branous coating that formed an il.
sulating tube around the intruder.
Then the moss sent out side branches
through the egg, traversing it, but
these also were made innocuous by an
albuminous coating. In spite of this
struggle against the intruding moss,
the lizard embryo developed to all
appearances normally and finally
emerged from it's prison unharmed.-

Who among us would say to-day, II

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 30 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: Incasing and combining
the feet in Leather or Canvas Shoes is
bound to create isiction, more or less.
Aliens Foot=Ease removes the friction
from the shoes, and freshens the feet. 1t
is this friction which causes smarting, cal
louses, corns and bunions. You know what
friction does to your motor-car axle. Why
