CAR bandits had an unpleasant shock when, on Putney Bridge (London, S.W.) they attacked and tried to robi two messen- gers of wage money, totalling £1,000, which they were carrying in two bags.

The messengers, both athletes, wero: Mr. James McNeish Hamilton, an amateur boxer, of Hassocks Road, Streatham; Mr. Edwin Becker, a track rider, of Parthenia Road, Fulhamn.

There were two bandits, one} armed with a revolver and the other with a length of eable, but they got such a reception from their intended victims that they were soon running their hardest for their car.

In this they drove of. The car was later found abandoned in a side street.

Hamilton and Becker were carry- ing the money from the bank to the offices of their employers, Messrs. Phillp and Tracey, in High Street, Fulham.

adult population of the United States are being attacked by the disease known as Athlete's Foot

L

Usually the disease starts between the tocs. 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.

་

BEWARE OF IT SPREADING ! Often the disenso 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 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 remedles 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 causen the disease is known as Tinea 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 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's Fool. 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 soon as you apply H. F. you will Ond that the itching is immediately relleved.. 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 sovero cases it may take longer or in mild cases less time.

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 those who have tried for years to get rid of Athlete's Foot without success.
