Cincinnati Man Discovers
Drug That Loosens Corns
so They Lift Out

Local druggists are having a ire
mendous call for freezone. the drug
which is said To shrivel corn, root
and all. without any pain.
A few drops applied directly
upon tender. aching corn relieves
the soreness at once, and shortly
the entire corn. root and all, lifts
right out with the fingers.
This new drug Is being dispensed
at small cost In quarter ounce bot
ties. which is sufficient to take off
every hard or soft corn from ones
feet II IL = sticky substance which
dries at once. and does not inflame
or even irritate the surrounding It's
sue or skin. There is no excuse
for any one inviting death by In
lection or lockiaw from cutting
their corns now.

count of Eliza was just like Gus Muel- Ter in The Bubble'-a lovable olc German, temperamental, sentimental blowing hot and then cold, like April weather You'll find thousands of Gus Mullers all over the United States keep ing a little delicatessen storel Devoted to his family, model husband and fath- er as simple as children themselves honest as the day Is long and of the highest integrity. Artistic temperament is a common quality among the Ger mans for they are a nation of artists, and this accounts for much we cannot understand in their actions.' Do you think character acting is as popular now as in days gone by, or has it been superseded by the matinee idol type?" I asked.
 .'The success alone of David Warfield would indicate that character actlnS IS now as popular as it ever was, sad Mir. Mann Cyril Maude won instant recognition an actor when he came to America last season, and no more popu- lar actor lives today than William
 Hodge Take the nations of the world, the greatest actors in Germany have been character actors-Lavinsky. Sonnen- thai; in France, Guitry, Coffuelin; with every other nationality it is the same
 The matinee, idol when his looks are gone, has nothing to offer the public; the character actor plays his part until he dies, Unless the matinee idol hap pens to land in popular play he doesn't stand much chance to continue in the limelight!'
 And what do you call the popular plays?'" I asked.
 Tt is the play which deals with life as people know it. said MT. Mann 'The public likes to see play that affects ifc 1yirO able to say to friend during a performance, Isn't that fellow on the stage just like Jack Smith? or Doesn't that actress re- mind you of Jane Jones" or Isn't that delicatessen shop like old Hans Dill pickle's?' And the actor who makes the greatest appeal is the one who knows how to compose a character on the stage by combining a lot of events, just as the artist combines colOrs with splotches of vivid, gorgeous effects here and there. You know I have been delivering some lectures recently on the subject of The Essence of Comedy.
 What kind of delicatessen is that?" asked curiously.
 There are two kinds of acting' he an- swered, static and dynamic" | Just like electricity" I observed, l Yes very much the same in some re- spects,' said the distinguished comed- 1 ian. Often the best effects are gained | by silence, which is static acting; you l radiate out fromw ithin, but with dy-

 'When Lew Fields chokes Joe Weber

COTTON PRICES MOVE
 IN MARROW RANGE
Reports From Interior An nOunce Good Demand For
 SpOt-Affects Prices

New Orleans, January 12.-Although the local cotton market had a steady feeling today there was little activity and prices moved within a narrow range Poor cables caused an initial advance, after which the market slow ly recovered on the good tone in the spot department. Around the opening prices were to points down. This was the low of the session. The re- covery put the most active months ? to points over yesterdays final fig ures. The close was unchanged to 4 points up compared to yesterday s close.
 The export movement was on a somewhat larger scale, total shipm ents being S5924 bales, as against receipts at all ports of 90,064. Port stocks of 1,736,S53 bales were reduced about 5000 bales and for the first time this sea son were under the stocks for the corresponding day last year The in terior reported a good demand for spots while the claim was made by bullish traders that a good part of the stocks at ports was cotton on its way to mill points, either in this coun- try or abroad.

FURTHER SHRINKAGE|
 OF SPECIAL ST0CKS|
Trading on Stock Exchange Is Largely Professional
 In Character

New York, January 12.-Further shrinkage in the quoted values Of special stocks attended early opera tions in today's market, with recov- cries amounting to some very substan- tial gains before the close. Forenoon declines of to points in such issues as Crucible Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and few others of the munitions or allied grodps, were caused in large part blythe aggressive tactics of the short interest, which later was driven to cover.
 Trading was more professional than usual, investors maintaining their at titude of aloofness. Overnight develop naents in Mexico gave rise to renewed apprehension in that quarter as was seen in the early weakness of Mexican Petroleum and American Smelling.
 The rally of the afternoon was led by United States Steel, that stock re- covering from S5. its minimum price gor the current movement, to S63s, and closing with a net gain of 1 point. High grade rails also participated in the forward movement, notably Canadian Pacific, St Paul, Union Pacific, Read ing and New York Central.
 Conspicuous among the very active and strong specialties was Mercantile Marine, the common rising 1 to 2OB, 9he preferred 27s to 1928 Although of ficial details were lacking, it was re- ported that a definite agreement had been reached between the opposing in terests in the proposed reorganization
 American Can was again one of the most prominent industrials, it's strength being accompanied by rumors of additional war contracts and possi- bie action bearing upon dividends Dealings tapered off in the final hour, shat period being devoted to a few of the high priced specialties, some of which scored sensational advices. Gu ban-American Sugar made an extreme rise of 1872 to 174h, South Porto Rico Sugar to 152, United States Indus trial Alcohol 71A to 134k and General Motors IS to 475.
 Exchange markets were strong, eX- cept remittances to Italy fires falling 3 points to 6.71, a decline of 3 points from yesterday Marks held their re- cent recovery, being quoted at 70 1-o to 76.
 Bonds followed the course of stocks. making marked recoveries in the later hours. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated $7,190,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

AVERY PREDICTS BIG ADVANCE IN
 COTTON PRICES

A resolution introduced by Senator Smith of South Carolina and passed by the Senate asks the Secretary of Az riculture for report on the amount of potash available in the United States. Senator Smith, who is practical cot ton man and joint author of the Smith Lever bill, or United States cotton flu lures act, says the scarcity of potash threatens 50 per cent reduction in cot ton production the coming season. The fertilizer situation is what has kept me consistently bullish and un- willing to change. My position, even when it looked as if was about the only friend the market had. The seri- ousness of this is not yet realized, when 1 it is, the market will get the needed fllip which will send prices higher than yet seen.
 The British Board of Trade returns for December show cotton goods eX- ports, 374. 4.2O9.000 yards, against 276,- O15, 900 in December last year, divided as follows: To India 171.999,00O vs 124,- O32,OOO last year; United States, 3,600,- 900 vs 4,901. 100, China, 37,674,000 vs.
 21, ,6S4,0 ,0O0; Netherlands, 3,978,00O vs. 4.404000; France. 4,157,000 vs. 4.127. .0O0 Egypt, 20282,000 vs. S,159,000: South America, 27.304. .000 vs. 14.403,000. This exhibit does not show any de- cline in Great Britain's textile trade, but, on the contrary shows surprising increase. despite the war.
 This should convince the most pessi- mistic bear that they will not allow this industry to suffer for lack of the raw material with which to keep it going. l If the truth were known, I would venture to say that big. proportion of the so- called burdensome stocks at ports and elsewhere were owned by ] foreigners. which they have been ac | cumulating while the bears helped them ! to get .. as cheap as possible.
 I believe we are on the eve of big upward move in prices.
