SUFFERING CATS!
GIVE THIS MAN
THE GOLD MEDAL.


No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a particle Of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
q compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
q trifle, but Is sufficient to rid ones
feet Of every corn or callous.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callous. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callous will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or callouses but shriyels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying 1t or
afterwards. II your druggist don't
have freezone have him order 1t for
you.

The Broader MEANING Of Thrlft.

Too many people think of thrift as
a matter of boarding money; while, in
reality, thrift is only the best way of
doing things and leads to mastering
the art Of simple living. The constant
practice Of self-denial develops habits
OF temperance in all things and be-
comes a great moral force. The CON
seriousness of having something in re-
serve gives poise, and does away with
the anxiety and nerve-strain SO detri-
mental to the American people. The
sense of power and of worthwhileness
that follows brings rich returns In
service to others and in happiness to
self. The training, now being given
in the public schools, to develop hab-
Its of using without waste, and of stor-
ing away for future use, is real thrift;
and the inculcating of its principles
by instruction, by practice, and by ex-
ample, is the great forward movement
in the education of today.-From
Public School Thrift: A Practical
Development" by Teresa M. Lenney,
In the American Review of Reviews
for May, 1917.
