CUSTOMS FIFTY YEARS AGO

Who among us would say to-day, "T
never use a Dentifrice, l never have to?"
Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may seem,
not one person in 1000 used Dentifrice-
or even tooth brush.

persistent publicity of Aliens Foot=Ease,

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 friction, more or less.
Aliens Foot=Ease removes the friction
J 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

GET CUSTOMERS FOR
PARCEL POST TRADE
Write to Relatives and Acquaint-
ances in Cities.
Many People Will Not Order Farm
Produce From Strangers Because
They Do Not Know Of Con-
ditions of Production.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
For producers who wish to market by
parcel post the most satisfactory way
of finding customers is to write to
friends, relatives, or acquaintance in
cities, seeking their trade, say special
lists of the bureau of arkets, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Purchasers, on the other hand, often
can locate reliable producers by cor
respondence with friends, relatives, or
acQuaintances in the country. More
than rs per cent Of the produce being
marketed by parcel post in number
of cities in which Investigations have
been made is sent by persons who
obtain their customers in this way.
Making business contact is less diff
cult between friends because there is
an absence of the suspicion and dis
trust that sometimes is found between
strangers. Many persons will not
order farm produce from strangers
because they do not know the condi-
lions under which the articles are
produced, 1t is said.
Although ways Of obtaining custom
ers are numerous, no method Is so
promising as that of working up a
trade with or through friends. This
method of establishing business rela-
tionship is especially recommended for
the general farmer who has a limited
amount Of produce. Those who wish
to market great deal of produce by
parcel post may find it necessary to
obtain customers by personally solicit
ing strangers or through advertising
in newspapers and by other public
means. Another method is to write
to friends in the city, asking for a
list Of acquaintance who would proba-
bly, be interested in receiving table
supplies by parcel post.

Clubroot is not manifested in the
top in early stages Of development, but

is present at the time the plants are
taken from the seed bed. An abnor-
NAL swelling in any part of the root
is an indication of the presence of this
disease. In it's later stages the swell

new soil by means of diseased plants.
They are manifested by a whiting of
the whole plant. These, and the ones
referred to above, may be and ought
to be kept out of new land. The way
to do it is to set out only clean plants.
The way to keep the plants clean is
to sterlize the seed beds. If steam
pressure is available, the inverted-pan
method described in Farmers Bulletin
996 is best. Such steam pressure
may often be had in the greenhouse
from the boiler used for heating. For
outside seed beds any kind of a steam
boiler, either on stationary outfit or
steam traction engine, will furnish
plenty Of pressure. If steam pres
sure is not available, good results can
be accomplished by the hot-water treat
ments advocated in Department Bulle-
tin 818.

MARSHALLTON LADY
WAS IN A BAD WAY
Relates How Plant Juice, the
New Herbal Stomach Medi-
cine, Restored Her Health.

'Plant Juice has made we'll woman
of my wife," stated Mr. Hezekiah ii.
Blake, of Marshallton, Del, in a recent
conversation he had at The Miller Drug
Store, 404-406 Market street, where
Plant Juice, the famous herbal stomach
medicine is being introduced and sold.
Continuing, he said:
"She had been in a very bad state Of
health for several years on account of
being victim of the influenza epidemic.
She has never had any appetite for her
meals since. and If she did take even the
hghtest kind of food, she suffered terrible
distress afterwards She could not
sleep at night and was in a very. serious
condition. Her nerves were in terrible
state and she would shake like q leaf
at times; her liver, kidneys and bowels
were out of order She was in such
weak state of health that she contracted
the grippe and her case seemed hope
less. She was under treatment and took
many different medicines but none of
them did her any good. A kind neigh
Dor of ours brought her bottle of
Plant Juice and begged her TO try it as
she said it had done wonders for her.
My wife began to improve from the start
and now we cannot be grateful enough to
this neighbor and to Plant Juice for
restoring her health. Her return to health
and strength is simply astonishing. She
now has splendid appetite, no more
indigestion; her liver and kidneys are
working fine and her entire nervous
system is strengthened; she is able to
sleep right through the night. She
looks and feels like a different woman;
has fine color in her face, has gained
in weight and feels bright and cheerful
now We never tire of telling about
Plant Juice and whatit did in our home.
Plant Juice cleanses, strengthens
and revitalizes the whole system. 1t
clears the blood of poisons and i'm
purities, puts the lazy liver TO wc~k,
/ regulates the bowels, strengt hens tho
kidneys and tones up the digestive
organs. 1t sharpens the appetite and
promotes sound, restful sleep.
