people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn stops sore
ness at once, and soon the corn dries
up and lifts right out without 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-
icent to remove every hard or soft
cron or callus from ones feet Millions
of American women will welcome this
announcement since the Inauguration

1t is in its third season and has
proved a profitable enterprise for its

whirling the other in the air is more
spectacular and more difficult.
In Watch Your STEP" which comes

English girls, eight Of them constitute
what is called an act in theatrical
parlance, who are said to break all
endurance records at every perform
ance.
While the orchestra plays forty
two bars of music, these girls dance
each on her left leg. meanwhile
swing the right in a circle for a per-
iod of one minute and fifteen sec

for the performance Of this feat is
said to have been measured by thir-
ty-two bars of music. Not so long
ago when the ballet was at the
heighth of its glory, twelve bars OF
music marked the continuation OF
this particular stunt and it was con-
sidered an unusual feat at that.
There are so many features with

ity to demonstrate their collective
skill, but when the opportunity ar
