ARE YOU ASHAMED OF YOUR HANDS? How frequently we hear expressions such as: “I won’t take off my gloves,” “I can’t play cards,” “I never wear m-y rings, they show up my hands too much,” ‘‘l am thoroughly ashamed of my hands,” and so on, given vent to by womenfolk who often are compelled to forego social functions simply because household duties cr climatic conditions have played havoc with their < hands. Really such sacrifices of pleas; i uie are unnecessary. By regular use 'of Mirpil these embarrassments can be,avoided, and the hands kept dainty i and soft. I Mirpil Skin Balm contains nothing 1 to injure the skin and may be used frequently with every confidence for Red Hands, Rnucrh, Chapped and Chafed Skin, Chilblains, Windbum and Sunburn, as a base for powder and after shaving. Obtainable from, all chemists and stores or from Th© TV. H. Comstock Co. Ltd., Maker s ofi Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills, 8 Farish Street, "Wellington. Price 2/6 per. bottle, post paid.

WHY ADVERTISING PAYS. You hear a page cost £6OO. That single page potentially exposes its attention to hundreds of thousands of readers, perhaps at a cost of less than one penny per copy. Of course, it is impossible to tell how many readers were influenced by the advertisement, even though the most alluring send-the-coupon-for-free sample is attached. But there is a way for the advertiser to find if his advertisements pay—in the of dividends despite world cataclysms and depression. Advertising, when effectively done, is one of the most efficient and economical of all the tools of modem business. It quite often does more work, in less time, per pound spent than any other form of commercial effort. It not only calls attention to a product and helps to inform the reader of new methods which aid to more comfortable living; it not only thus makes possible lower costs to both producer and consumer, but it creates continuity of production, thus preventing periodic lay-offs of workers—and it protects the consumer against fraud!
