AND TIIKIR. shoes The custom in Japan of leaving the shoes at tho door before, entering a house seems a peculiar one to us. Yet it is a most eensf-ble one in Japan, considering that the shoes commonly worn there are wooden clogs and the house floors arc covered with soft, padded, uncolored straw mattings. The wooden shoes might easily cut or break and quickly wear out. these mattings to say jothing of soiling them.

The heavy white-cloth socks worn by the Japanese in themselves are good house shoes. In public places such as temples, visited by large, numbers of tourists, and at the big stores the floors of which are matting covered courteous attendants at the entrance are provided with cloth covers to tic over shoes like those we wear. And the attendants, without expecting a tip, remove them when one leaves the place. Adventure Magazine. The Dr.

"Our company is capitalized for $250,000, half of which is paid up," Dr. Allen explained in discussing, his company's plans. "It is our intention to spend practically all of the money which has been paid in on capital stock for the construction of our new building in Los Angeles, and the purchase of new machinery.

"The machinery in our Billings, factory is being shipped to Los Angeles, but additional equipment will be needed to meet our requirements. We will have a capacity of 40,000 tubes of dental cream daily, but expect to make only 20,000 tubes a day until we become established."
