Every Wman's Shoe Problems Solved By These Soles How to save money on shoes and still have her feet smartly clad How to keep her feet dry on wet days and still have her foot gear as trim-looking as on dry days These are the two greatest shoe problems for every woman. In the solution of both these problems NeSlin Soles fit amazingly well. Saving shoe money is largely a question of getting shoes with soles that wear longer, for sole wear is the greatest factor in shoe cost.

Arid Ncolin Soles, though they cost no more to start with, are so durable that they wear longer and so cut shoe bills down. You have just as good-looking shoes as before, but pay less for them, by the year, because you need fewer pairs. ; ; Having the feet trim on wet days is merely a matter of dispensing with rubbers. When your shoes have Neolin Soles it is safe to go without rub bers. Unless you walk in puddles or mud that reaches to the upper, for Neolin Soles are absolutely waterproof." ; ' Yet wear and waterproofness are but two of the important virtues of Neolin Soles. They are exceedingly comfortable easy as an old shoe from the first moment

of wear, not a bit of breaking-in required. And they make walking safer and easier by providing a better grip on walking surfaces. Don't you think that you should wear Ne5lin Soles, now that you know these facts? Get mem on the new shoes you buy, or have your worn shoes re-soled with them. Get mem also for others in your family. They are available everywhercon new shoes or as re-soles, for men, women and children. But when you buy Neolin Soles be sure you see the Neolin trade mark underneath. If it is not there the sole is not Neolin. Mark that mark; stamp it on your mem

For Indiana State Senate A Member of the Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth General Assembly House of Representatives Indiana State Legislature 1903-1905 M. W. Yencer, from Wayne County, announces his candidacy for State Senator from Wayne and Fayette Counties, subject to the Republican primary election, May 7th, 1918. The issue, he presents to you is his Navy Policy of the House Concurrent Resolution, which he presented to the Indiana State Legislature of 1903 concerning the Monroe Doctrine and the upbuilding of our Navy of United States.

Resolved, That we, members of the House of Representatives of the Sixty-third General Assembly of the State of Indiana, heartily commerd and emphatically indorse the patriotic and .American attitude of the administration of President Roosevelt, and with reference to the Monroe Doctrine we commend the dignified stand of our government in its treatment of the threatening Venezuelan complications, now, we trust, approaching a peaceful consummation. The American people as a whole stand committed to the enforcement and maintenance of the pronouncement . originally promulgated by President Monroe, and the indorsement of this doctrine is not confined to any political party, nor hemmed in by state or sectional lines. But we view with even increasing anxiety the possibilities of the future. The European nations are constantly engaged in the absorption of every foot of so-called available soil. Africa has been taken, and the only really independent nation of the great continents of Asia, China, is in process of dismemberment. t This fact, together with the overpopulous congested state of Europe,, and the vast expanse of as yet comparatively unoccupied and extremely fertile lands in South America, constitute an almost irresistible inducement to European aggression. The American people are determined that the western hemisphere shall be reserved for the exploitation of republican institutions and forms of government.

The issue is thus squarely joined, and.it argues for the monroe doctrine, it must either be abandoned or fought for; that it will be fought for goes without saying. We, the members of the House of Representatives of the Sixty-third General Assembly, therefore respectfully and most earnestly urge our Senators and Representatives in Congress to further, both by voice and vote, the more rapid upbuilding of the navy of the United States, for the navy of this day and age is the strength, the power and protection of this mighty republic. The destiny of our republic depends in all future ages to come upon our navy, to the end that this arm of the nation may be placed in such a state of completeness and efficiency as to constitute an effectual bar to any aggressions should that be attempted.

His policy which he advocated in 1903 has been clearly vindicated by our people and Government at this very hour, that we were in need of a mighty Navy for this World's War. Our Army can be increased to an efficiency in a very short time, but the Navy takes a long time. This message which he presented to the Indiana State Legislature in 1903 was one of the most far reach ing for the destiny of the United States since the days of Oliver P. Morton. He solicits your support for State Senator from Wayne and Fayette Counties at the Republican primary election, May 7, 1918.
