CUSTOMS FIFTY YEARS AGO

Who among us would say to-day, 81
never use a Dentifrice, l 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 Feetl"
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: I~ncasing and combining
the feet in Leather or Canvas Shoes is
bound to create s~siction, more or less.
Aliens Foot=Ease removes the friction
from the shoes, and freshens the feet. II
is this friction which causes smarting, cal
%louses, corns and bunions. You know what
friction does to -FOUR motor-car axle. Why
not emove it from your footwear by Shak-
ing into your Shoes today, Aliens Foot
Ease, the cleanly, wholesome, healing, An
tiseptic powder? Get the habit, as millions
now have it.

Leather Flowers.

Painted leather bortonnieres that
carry the art OF artiiciality to the ut
most limit are the latest craze of fash
Ion. These floral bouquets are verltable
works Of art, being carried out in col
ored suede or leather, tinted TO Ne
produce the color of the flowers they
profess TO initiate. A bunch Of Nea-
politan v%iolets, made of fine scented
Russian leather, dyed a delicate tone
of pale mauye, with soft green leaves,
produced a veritable triumph Of art,
as did a pink rose fashioned of
crushed morocco that was destined to
adorn the lapel of a severity cut blue
serge coat. This new fad is a very
costly one, as the flowers are all hand
made by a clever artist, who keeps the
mystery Of her craft a profound secret
