LIFT YOUR CORNS OFF WITH
FINGERS
Tells How to Loosen q Tender Corn
or Callus So 1t Lifts Out without
Pain

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an aw-
full death from lockjaw or blood
poison are now told by a Cincinnati
authority to use a drug called free
zone, which the moment a few drops
are applied to any corn or callus the
soreness Is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus, root and all. lifts
off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment 1t Ii
applied, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without infiaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue OF
skin. A small bottle OF freezone
will cost very little at any Of the
drug stores, but will positively rid
ones feet Of every hard or soft corn
or hardened callus. II your drug
gist hasn't any freezone he can get

ier MORNING JOURNAL sraciAL lgAsGo WipGI
Washington, Aug. ALTHOUGH
there were indications that the sen.
ate does not propose to adopt the
conference report on the administra-
ton food control bill without further
debate, leaders were hopeful tonight
after it had been discussed for several
hours, that the measure may be in the
presidents hands before the end of
next week.
Attack upon the conference report
was opened by Senator Reed in a two
hour speech, which he concluded by
stating that he had just begun his
remarks. The senate recessed at the
conclusion of his address until Mon
day, when he expects to resume. The
Missouri senator renewed his criticism
of Herbert Hoover, prospective food
administrator, and deplored actions OF
congress generally and the food bill
conferees in particular for cringing
under the official lash"
Most of todays debate was occupied
by Mr.. Reed. and supporters of the
conference report plan to make brief
remarks in its defense. Senator Reed,
however, stated that he did not in
tend to delay adoption. but would
move to recommit it to conference
with instructions upon the various
features against which he has CENTER
ed his opposition
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, in
charge of the bill for the administra-
ton, declared the country is demand
ing immediate action.

BREAK WITH GERMANY

Rome, Aug, At is stated in vati-
can circles that the impartial attitude
toward official Germany Is undergo
ing change. The pope is reported to
regret greatly the action of Germany
in connection with the deported Bel
gians.
The new attitude appears to have
been adopted after the fall Of DR. Won
.Rethmann-Hollweg, the imperial
chancellor, who Just before his resig-
nation, wrote what now is apparent
was farewell letter to the holy faith
er thanking him for his forbearance
and also calling attention to the fact
that he had always tried his best to
guard the pope's demands regarding
prisoners.
Although an absolute break with
Germany is not expected at this time,
1t is certain that the Belgian depor-
tations are daily making more diff
