MOTHERS ANGERED BY TALK ABOUT HAVING BABIES
"From all my experience I can say that the chief trouble at the time of birth is temperament or nerves."-AN EX-MIDWIFE.
Only when they reached the subject of babies and the problems of having them did 8,000 gentlemannered country women, crowded recently into the Albert Hall, raise their voices. Then their well-ordered twenty-first annual meeting of Women's Institutes exploded in a din of fury, hot words, and "whooing," the feminine equival- ent of booing.

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 cracks and peels. After a while, the itching becomes intense, and you fect as though you would like to scratch off all the skin.
BEWARE OF IT SPREADING
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 discase as quicldly as possible, because it is very contagious and 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 all kinds of remedies to cure it without success. Ordinary germicides, anti- seplies, salve or ointments seldom do any good.
HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT
The germ that causes the disease is known as Tinca Trichophy- ton. It buries itself deep in the tissues of the skin and is very hard to kill. A test made shows it takes 15 minutes of bolling to kill the germ; so you can see why ordinary remedies are unsuccessful. H. F. was developed solely for the purpose of treating Athlete's Foot. It is a liquid that penetrates and dries quickly. You just paint the affected parts. It peels off the tissue of the skin where the germ breeds.

As soon as you apply H, F. you will find that the itching la immediately relieved. You should paint the infected parts with H. F. night and morning until your feet are well. Usually this Laken from three to ten days, although in severe cases it may take longer or in mild cases less time.
