YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me a quarter of an ounce
of freezone." This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender
aching corn should relieve the sore
ness instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, dries up and can be
lifted out with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a CINCINNATI
man, who says that, while freezone is
sticky, 1t dries in a moment. and sim
ply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even Irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or

Mayor w. R. Roberts Announces Ar.

Big Parade Will Be Followed b.
Speeches in Central PARK.

Demonstration of Ardmores attitude
toward the declaration of war between
the United States and Germany, and
this city's feeling toward President
Wilson and the administration now
controlling the. destiny of the United
States will be made Friday May 4.
when the whole of Ardmore unites In
great patriotic rally and celebra.
ton.
Following the holding OF such events
in other cities in Oklahoma, Mayor
Roberts has named a committee to
arrange and have charge OF the Cele-
bration. This committee, at a meet
ing Friday afternoon at the Chamber
Of Commerce, fixed the date for May 4,
as the annual May Day celebration Of

day, and it was thought best to hold
the patriotic rally then, thus avoiding
conflict and preventing strain upon
the school children and their parents if
the two events we're held separately.
Enormous Parade Planned.
A parade, the largest of its kind the
city has ever held, will be the princi-
pal feature OF the celebration. In the
line of March will be school children,
business men and fraternal and mill
tary organizations. The entire city
will be invited to participate.
Following the parade big rally will
be held in Central Park, when sew
eral short speeches by prominent local
men will be made, and an appropriate
program will be carried out.
II is the plan of the committee to
have every home and business build
ing in the city decorated with flags in
honor of the occasion, and to have
every citizen wear miniature flag.
AT the meeting Friday, Clinton o.
Bum. Captain William Hutchinson,
and H. G. Spaulding were chosen as a
committee to arrange details of the
celebration. Other members Of the
committee named by Mayor Roberts
are: S. A. Apple, c. w. Richards, l.,
