Mexsana works on the skin like
millions of tiny sponges to absorb
moisture which is often the cause of
irritation-and which so frequently
leads to heat rash with it's itching,
burning feeling. So just sprinkle
this clean, cooling, medicated pow

skin. Use it as often as you need.

After a few weeks of heat, every
body sits around like something out
of a Chekhov play and complains
about feet. Not that We blame them
because in these days of self loco
motion your feet are apt to get most
warm and uncomfortable in hot
weather. AS we said before, you
might try massaging your poor hot
feet with that fresh, fluffy deodo-
rant cream we mentioned Another
idea, suggested by prominent foot
care authority is that you start each
hot day by patting your feet all over
with bouquet lotion then busting de-
odorant powder lightly over the soles
and between the toes. Sounds nice,
doesn't it?
One word of advice: Eat lightly
and don't get overheated discussing
whether it's the heat or the hu-
midity!

J. T. HERS, executive general
agent of the Wilmington Port
commission, has written port Of
ficials from Boston to Browns

representatives to outline post
war establishment of coastwise
and intercoastal shipping service.
1T does not appear too early
for port representatives to decide
among themselves what they will
request at the appropriate time.
In fact, if an agreement can be
reached as to what the actual need
of all the ports is, the Special
committee of Coastwise Carriers,
the Board of Investigation and Re-
search and other governmental
agencies who are interested in this
all-important matter could be in
formed of our future needs as we
see them following our meeting,
and thereby be enabled to make
study of and give consideration
to the requirements of each port,
so that when the time comes for
