LISTEN TO THIS! SAYS CORNS LIFT
 RIGHT OUT NOW

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 a Cincinnati authority to use drug called freezone, which, the moment a few drops are applied to any corn, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out with the fingers.
 It is a sticky ether compound which dries the moment it is applied and simply shrive1s the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the surround ing tissue or skin. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but Is sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
 You are further warned that cutting at corn is a suicidal habit.-Adv.

CREW OF AMERICAN WARSHIP
HAVE ADOPTED FRENCH FAMILY

| A FRENCH PORT. Oct 24.-The
crew of an American warship, patroll-
| ing the steamer lanes off the coast of
France, has just adopted" a French
family, consisting of a mother and
four minor children, and raised fund
for their temporary support. The
adopted family was driven from their
home in a village near st Quentin
after their home had been burned by
invading Germans and their crops and
orchards pillaged and destroyed. The
father was killed in one of the early
battles of the war.
Several months ago the family came
to this city where the mother obtained
employment which just enabled her to
provide herself and the children with
the barene cessities of life Soon after
the arrival of the American warship,
the sailors discovered the family's
position and immediately presented
the mother large purse. The child
rem were taken into the stores and
provided with candy and other lux
uries. Ever since the American ship
has made this port as its base, this
French family has wanted for Meth
Ell the necessities nor the luxuries Of
life. SsS.

SOUTH DOESN'T TAKE
WAR SERIOUSLY YET

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 24.-That dis
lance lends enchantment to the view,
has been proven again by the differ
ence between the South's conception
and the north's conception of the war,
declares John K Ottley, vice president
of the Fourth National bank, Of At
lanta, who has just returned from
New York.
In that city, so much closer to the
heart of war activities, the people are
thinking and talking nothing but war,
in striking contrast to the feeling OF
remoteness which is natural in the
South, because of it's distance from
the center of war activities. In a let
ter to W &C. Wardlaw, chairmana of
the liberty Loan executive committee
for the Atlanta reserve district, Mr.
Ottley declares:
my outstanding impression on re-
turning from New York is the grim
ness OF the war. IN New YORK tney
see the menace Men are there on war
errands for the Allies and from nearby
Washington Transactions of war are
being carried on constantly. The very
atmosphere is charged with it. 1t is
the thought and talk of the whole pop
ulaton There is no escaping tibet
shadow.
Here we are remote from these ac
tivities Our distance has kept us
in sort of enchantment of security.
We absolutely do not realize the war.
The sale of Liberty Bonds is the i'm
mediate task to which we bankers
must dedicate ourselves and our best
energies now, today"
