When dry, mb the stained part with a rag dipped in methylated spirits, then polish Jwith TAN-OL Should the stained part be a little darker* than the rest of the leather, mb well , with a raw onion before applying TAN-OL. Stains on .chrome tan (grained or morocco leather) should be rubbed over with iqetbylated spirits or with a slice of lemon. The acid in the lemon is one of the best possible removers of stains in soft leathers. Polish afterwards with TAN-OL. This treatment will make much-used' footwear appear like enw. No polish is just so suitable for tans as TAN-OL. No other pel ish can give the same satisfactory result. No other' polish is so economical. No other polish i? so popular, and popularity depends not on advertising, but on merit. If yon have not tried it, order a tin the first time the grocer man calls. Price €d (paste) i is (liquid). Yon can lose your situation, ■ You can lose your rank ,or station. Yon can lose yonr reputation. You can even lose yonr wife ! But if this advice you follow \yhen your cough sounds harsh and hollow, And Woods’ Peppermint you swal* You will never lose yo*r life. r: v . _. siiiM
