It takes the fric- tion from the shoe and rests the feet. This foot penser: shaken into the shoes of soldiers, has long been in use in the German army, and Uncle Sam's adoption of this form of treating and casing the feet, emphasizes the testimony of the millions of people the world over, who are shaking Allen's Foot- tase, the antiseptic powder, into their shoes, and using it in the foot bath, as the only pract and lasting treatment for easing and absolutely prevent- ing ore feet.

Write to us enclosing three two-cent stamps for trial packaze Merciful Marconi ILLIAM MARCONI has just ad- ministered a stinging rebuke to his Maker by refusing to divulge the secret of a device which enables one to look straight through a stone wall and see who is on the other side. “It is asserted he fears the apparatus would be put to evil uses.” And, of would be. It is clear that if God had possessed human intelligence and consideration our world would never have been cre- ated. Consider the — wretchedness caused by the invention of Adam and Eve! Behold the woe that surrounds the alarm clock, the deviltry that goes on over the telephone and the people who have been squeezed by falling ele- vators! Franklin, Stevenson, Fulton, Morse, Bell, Edison, Steinmetz and Irving Berlin have all displayed a God- like disregard of consequences in launching their devilish contrivances, But not Marconi. The inspired Italian is more merciful, Heaven be praised! Fancy the hurricane of utter wreck, riot and ruin that would ensue if he should loose in the world a con- traption to render transparent the skulls of those whose eminence is based entirely upon what the public cannot see in them! Arguing with an Expert EVER argue with an expert. It is useless, There is no way of making headway against him, Though you may know much more than he does, you can’t possibly get him to admit it. His main defense lies in the possession of his own special ver- nacular. No expert is complete without a vernacular. Many experts have noth- ing more. In arguing with an expert, he always begins by assuming: first, that you don’t know what you are talking about, and, second, that if you did know what you were talking about, you couldn't talk about it intelligently, because you lacked the specific vocabulary that the subject demands, As the argument proceeds he spends so much time asking: “Just what do you mean when you use the word —-?” And you spend so much time explaining your terms that you totally forget what you are arguing about. Obviously, when a man forgets what he is trying to prove, he should immediately quit trying to prove it. Weighs Only % an Ounce No needless material goes into this OF TRIANGLE. garter.
