America buys about $1,200,000,000 worth of shoes annually, and the mcr chandising of such a vast amount goods naturally calls for the solution of many business problems on the part of successful business men. But. when we consider that this enormous iud istry has had about 50 per cent of its calf skin supply cut off by a war. then it may be realized how necessary it is for the representatives of this industry to get. together on- see witct oan be done to improve conditions.

RECOGNIZED STANDARD-AVOID SUBSTITUTES - I J The Anker Holth Cream Separator is the only Self Balancing Separator on the market. And the bowl is guaranteed to stay in balance the ; life of the machine. The Anker Holth skims the cleanest and is the easiest to keep clean and can be washed in one-half the time you can wash any other separator. Every user of an Anker Holth remarks—HOW EASY it turns. This fact is especially noticeable to those who have operated other separators. A child can operate an Anker Holth with ease.. The self-oiling system—has no oil holes no feed cups—it simply runs in a bath of oil, and every two or three mouths change the oil by removing a set screw. The Anker Holth contains fewer mechanical parts than any other separator made. And the bowl being self draining makes it hon-freezing in cold weather. There is no number on the disc and they are ail interchangable—they do not have to be kept on a stringer to wash them. Nothing but the highest grade of steel and the best phosphar bronze and the most durable tinware goes into the construction of the Anker Holth. ? The Anker Holth Cream Separator is the best Sep- | erator on the market today for Efficiency, Simplic- | ity. Sanitation, Satisfaction and Durability.

Mr. Holt, writes — “I used Vick's Vapoßub on my four months’ old baby for a severe cold.in his head and lungs. By rubbing Vapoßub over his throat and chest and letting him inhale the vapors immediate relief follows. I find it relieves a severe cold in one night’s time. Also? if your nose and head are stopped up on going to bed, by inhaling a little Vapoßub you can sleep soundly and breathe J freely.” No family should be without a jar
