LEECH, Seripps-Howard Writer on LONDON, Aug. 20—The foundation or bedrock of socialism is that government knows best.

The home of Girolamo A.

E. Zimit, president of the firm, “After applying Alside Alyminum Siding to your house, your repainting worries are over, because Alside will never ¢hip, buckle or 1 orack, and it will retain. its brilliance for years!” Mr. Zimit continued, “A small investment of only $3.00 per week, certainly is well worth while when you consider "the cost of repainting a house every 3 or 4 years. In applying Alside Aluminum Siding, no nails are exposed, for each panel is interlocked, making for an extra neat appearance. Alside really insulates 2-ways, in the summer it deflects the rays of the sun; in the winter it holds the heat in, thus making your home comfortable in all seasons of the year.” - Be sure and use the original and genuine Alside Aluminum Siding—Indiana Roofing and Siding Co.

WHICH PAIR OF FEET SHALL I WEAR TODAY? “Silly question, isn't It?"

agrees Mr. Ross H. Johnson of the “J. P. 1.” FOOT FITTING SYSTEM, 135 East

Ohio St.,- Indianapolis. “Everyone kndéws that we have but one pair of feet and, therefore; only one shape, but we go. on ‘crowding them into: different shapes of shoes as our whim may dictate. That is thie reason why foot trouble is so prevalent. Since Nature .made human feet in only one shape, that Is why we have designed’ only one shape ACTIVATOR shoe. That is why foot trouble disappears when ACTIVATOR shoes are worn. Only trouble can result if you forever keep changing shapes or styles of shoes. For freedom from foot trouble, wear ACTIVATOR shoes. Keep wearing them so long as you have the same pair of feet and you will gain foot comfort and health such as you have not known ‘since childhood.” ACTIVATOR shoes and SOLE-FITTER-Arch Cushions can be purchased only at the “J.
