BEING SENT EAST
London, May 17.
Arrangements have been made for the despatch of Royal Air Force squadrons to Ceylon, Penang and other centres in the Far East.
This step is in accordance with the authorities in 1936 to provide an additional twelve squadrons for overseas stations.
Squadrons have already been sent to Singapore, Egypt and Kenya, and three additional squadrons, recently sent to Egypt, will be located at Ismalia, Helwan and Helipolois-Reuter.

Athlete's Foot
According to the Govern→
ment Health Bulletin No. E-28, at least 50% of the
1
adult population of the United States are being attacked by the discaso 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 feel as though you would like to scratch off all the skin.
DEWARE 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 worea.
Get rid of this disease as quickly as possible, because it is very contagious and it may go to your hands or oven to the under arm or crotch of the legs.
Most people who have Athlete's Foot have tried all kinds of remedica to cure it without success. Ordinary germicides, anti- septics, anive or ointments seldom do any good,
HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT,_...
The germ that causes the disease is known as Tinen Trichophy- ton. It buries itself deep in the tissues of the skin and is very hard to kill. A test mada 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.
ITCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY
AS BOOD as you apply H. F. you will find that the itching is immediately relieved. You should paint the infected parts with H. F. night and morning until your feet are well. Usually this takes from three to ten days, although in severe cases it may take longer or in mild cases less time,
H. F. will leave the altin soft and smooth. You will marvel at the quick way it brings you relief; especially if you are one of those who have tried for years to get rid of Athlete's Foot without success.
