LIFT YOUR CURNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen tender corn
or calIus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal.
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freczone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you

ARK. GIRLS COLLEGE
NATIONALLY PATRONIZED
Announces Department OF Child
Welfare.

Crescent College and Conservatory
for girls has had prepared map Of
the United States, which is very strik-
ing, showing in black those states
which have been represented with
students in Crescent during the past
four years, and the number from each
state. 1t appears that this institution
with an enrolment limited to 50
girls has attracted girls from 81 dI--
ferent states in these four years. And
this fer a college in Arkansas and
only in it's tenth year
Arkansas people are not generally
aware OF the national reputation Of
Crescent College. Few peep e know
it established new class Of Colleges
when in 1909 it announced itself a
Junior College. 1t has set the pace for
modern and progressive methods. It's
various departments are each year in
spected by state universities and it
is fully accredited.
Selling upan the advantage OF
healthful location at a health resort
in the Ozark Mountains it stresses
health first, has graduate trained
nurse in charge of the hygiene of the
school and retains trained dietitian
for its boarding department. It's
latest startling announcement is the
introduction of a school Of Child Well
fare Offering instruction on how to
feed, battle, care for and teach babies
and children. 1t plainly faces the
fact that girls are Later to be wives
and mothers and sets for itself the
task Of preparing young women for
the important duties which will be
theirs. This is question of vital
importance and the aim is child con-
ment is no other than Mary Breckin-
ridge Thompson. wife of Crescent's
President and daughter of Honorable
Clifton r. Breckenridge. Mrs. Thomp-
son is recognized as an authority on
Woman and Baby Hygiene.
Residents of Arkansas will do we'll
to consider this institution in the Sc
lection of q school for their daugh-
tiers. Many Of them choose other
schools in Arkansas because they re-
present certain churches, without in
vestigatng the high standards aud
modern methods of this institution.
Others select schools in other states
for the name of going away. or to OBJ
tain big school where individual at
tention is possible. Crescent girls
are prepared tci do something When
they finish, whereas girls from the
average school go home and wait for
something to turn up.
Crescent's Special departments,
Music, Art, Expression, Household
Arts and Business are equipped with
specialists of unusual ability and rep
utation, and its graduates may be
found in nearly every state, occupy
ing important positions.
We think this school which is at
tracing Sc much attention in other
states, from New York and Connecti-
cut to California and Washington,
should draw the attention Of fathers
and mothers in Arkansas

Douglas, Isle of Man. Jan. II. -
They are busily engaged in preparing
for peace in the prison camps on the
Isle of Man.
Here are nearly $4,000 German and
Austrian civilian prisoners. Many of
them have been residents of the Brit
ish Isles for ten or fifteen years. and
expect to go back to their civilian en-
ployment as soon as peace comes.
Others have been in England for much
shorter periods, and plan to seek fresh
nelds. Hundreds would like to go to
the United States.
TWO years of Imprisonment has q
sobering effect on the most frivolous,
and the frame of mind of the intern
ment camp prisoner is almost uni
tormly serious. Some are learning
new trades, others mastering new lam
guages, others studying the course of
the war, in map and law book with q
view to being on the spot for war

being done by the prisoners them

If FOOD DISAGREES,
DRINK HOT WATER

When food lies like lead in the stom-
ach and you have that uncomfortable,
distended feeling, it is because of in
sufficient blood supply to the stomach,
combined with acid and food fermenta-
ton. In such cases try the plan now
followed in many hospitals nd advised
by many eminent physicians of taking III
teaspoonful of pure bisurated mag
nesia in half a glass of water, as hot as
you can comfortably drink it, The hotE
water draws the blood to the stomach
and the bisurated magnesia, as any phy-z
sician can tell you, instantly neutraliZesE
the acid and stops the food fermenta-
tion. Try this simple plan and you
will be astonished at the immediatez
feeling of relief and comfort that al
ways follows the restoration of the nor
NAL process of digestion. People who=
find it inconVenient at times to secureE
hot water and travellers who are fre-z
quently obliged to take hasty meals
poorly prepared, should always take
two or three five-grain tablets OF Bisur-
ated Magnesa after meals to prevent
fermentation and neutralize the acid
in their stomach. G. A. Gorgas can
supply you.-Advertisement.
