What Caused The
Tremor
MOUNTAIN RIDGE UNDER
THE SEA CRUMBLES
London, June 12.
The heaviest earth tremor recorded in this country in recent years shook Britain yesterday when a submarine mountain ridge running un- der the Atlantic from western Europe to Green- land, long known to seismologists as a weak spot in the earth's crust, is believed to have crumbled.
For more than half a minute just before noon great buildings in London and other parts of southeast England shook and quivered, wide windows rattled, furniture moved cerily, and clocks were stopped.

Even more severe effects in the North Sea, perhaps off were experienced in those parts of France, Germany, Holland, and Belgium which lay in the path of the 'quake.

According to the Govern-
ment Health Bulletin No. E-28, at least 50% of the
adult population of the United States are being attacked by the disease known as Athlete's Foot.
Usually the disease starts between the toes. Little watery blisters form, and the skin crocks and peels. After a while, the itching becomes intense, and you feel as though you would like to scratch off all the skin.
BEWARE OF IT STREADING
Often the disease travels all over the bottom of the feet. The soles of your feet become red and swollen. The skin also cracks and peels, and the Itching becomes worse and worse.
Get rid of this disease as quickly as possible, because it is very contagious find It may go to your hands or even to the under arm or crotch of the legs.
Most people who have Athlete's Foot have tried nii kinds of remedies to cure it without success. Ordinary germicides, anti- septics, salve or ointments seldom do any good.
HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT
The germ that causes the disease is known as Tineu Trichophy- ton. It burles itself deep in the tissues of the skin and is very hard to kill. A test made shows it takes 15 minules of boiling to kill the germ; so you can see why ordinary remedies are unsuccessful. H. F. was developed solely for the purpose of treating Athlete'a Foot. It is a liquid that penetrates and dries quickly. You just paint the affected parts, I peels off the tissue of the sitin where the germ breeds.
TTCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY
[
As soon as you apply H. F. you will find that the itching is immediately relieved, You should paint the infected parts with II. F. night and morning until your feet are well. Usually this tokes from three to ten days, although in severe cases it may tako longer or in mild cases less tima,
H. F. will leave the skin soft and smooth. You will marvel at the quick way it brings you relief; especially if you are one of thuse who have teled for years to get rid of Athlete's Foot without success.
