cerned to eliminate absolutely compe-
tition among themselves for American

readiness to pledge themselves to do
so. The agreement, when drafted,
would have for its aim the attainment
Of maximum efficiency for every doll

lation by sister states, the iegisla-
lures Of which are now in session. At
its afternoon session yesterday the

SAVE DADS LIFE
GET IT FOR him
Says 1t Is Suicide to Cut
Corns and Tells How They
Lift Right Out.

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me q quarter Of an ounce
OF freezone." This will cost very lit
tie but Is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn should relieve the
soreness instantly, and soon the en-
tire corn. root and all. can be lifted
out with the fingers without pain.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that while freezone is
sticky 1t dries in a moment and seems
to simply shrivel up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns,
but cut this out and make him try It.
