which are scarce.
The new reports serve to indicate

pressed with the seriousness of the
tremendous task undertaken, and
determined to spread propaganda that
will everywhere stimulate the produc-

were appointed to carry forward the
work of organizing every county in

The women also decided to cooper

pie of getting women to subscribe n
poll tax would greatly stimulate the
many phases to be undertaken by the
advisory board.
Governor Gunter told the women of
the great value their services would
be in helping to see that no crops
were wasted, the protection they could
give through proper legislation to the
women and children. and the good
that would come from their practical
economy in all foodstuffs, fuel and
other necessities.
He suggested that the women ap-
operate with a similar committee of
men on the governors war council. He
urged that the poll tax for women be
considered by them. and that they
help in every way to formulate the

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so It lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller II you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks Of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone. applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lleves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
