Ouch +? ! This kind OF
rough talk will be heard less here in
town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
few drops of drug called freezone
when applied to tender, aching corn
stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn dries up and lifts right out with
out pain.
He says freezone is an ether COM
pound which dries Immediately and
never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
of an ounce of freeZone will cost very
little at any drug store, but is suffi-
Gent to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. Mil
lions of American women will well
come this announcement since the in
auguration of the high heels.

Germany and her allies, although the
moderate opinion of the country does
not favor too hasty rejection of the
overtures. 1t is believed the Ger
man people. once they are acquaint-
ed with the objects of the entente,
might be more inclined toward peace
and for that reason if for no other,
the terms of the entente allies should
be made known officially to the CEN
trail powers.
The possibility that President Will
son will make some suggestions when
forwarding the offer also is much dis
cussed. 1t is intimated that he might
at least express willingness to convey
the terms of the entente to the cen
trail powers.
