YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to Dry
Up a Corn or Callus So 1t Lifts
OFF With Fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost verv
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried.
as 1T is inexpensive and is said not to
lrrltate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for YOU
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time.

SHELTON

Shelton, March 13.-This commun

of Mr.. f. w. Coleman. Mr. Coleman
had suffered with asthma for some
time, but no one knew of his serious

survived by his wife and three sons.

He says that a few drops Of drug
called freezone. applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn. instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root aud all, lifts out without
pain.
This drug is sticky but dries ct
once and is said to simply shrivel up
the corn without inhaming or even ir-
ritating the surrounding tissue.
1t is claimed that quarter of an

lus from ones feet. Cut this out, es-

NO WEEK OF DEBATE
Senate VIII Not Consider Wilson's
World Peace Fian

Washington. Jan. 2a-Determined
opposition was revealed by admin
stration leaders in the Senate at
Washington yesterday to Senator
Cummins's proposal to set aside next
week for free discussion Of President
Wilson's world peace address. Led
by Senator Stone, chairman of the
,oreign relations committee, the demo
Gratis stood against the Cummins reso-
luton, maintaining that with the
press of legislative business such a
discussion at this time would make
necessary an extra session of Con-
gress
For nearly two hours the resolution
was the subject OF debate, during
which the views on world peace set
.orth in the presidents address were
alluded to only incidentally At the
outset Senator Stone moved that the
resolution be referred to the foreign
relations committee. Later Senator
Norris moved to amend the motion
by adding instructions that the com
mittee make q report within 10 days.
Finally the resolution went to the
Senate calendar without action. and
it win require affirmative action be-
ore it can be placed before the Sen
ate for vote.
Senator Cummins insisted last night
on pressing the matter at every op-
Dortunity, and as motion TO take It
up is debatable, It can precipitate dis
aussion during the first hour OF the
Senate's session every day unless par
liamentary expedients are adopted to
prevent. In urging his resolution SEN
ator Cummins declared that the presi-
Tents proposals. right or wrong, were
the most important ever made by a
chief executive of the United States
and that the Senate owed duty to
the country to discuss thom, and to
advise the president in the matter
III there ever was time" he said
when duty commanded that we give
to the world and the country the hon
est convictions of the Senate upon pro-
posals that effect the integrity OF the
nation, the peace Of the world and the
happiness OF mapkind--it Is now"

Making IT PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations but some people continue TO
accept "extracts" of cod hve1-c think
ing they will get the benefit. Of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod h;vey oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
SCOTS Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade Of real Norwegian cod k0ey oil,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. Scott's is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

MARY plcKFoRD's INITIALS
"stiIl Our Little Mary" in Artcraft's
Beautiful Production.

Beautiful Production.
You will have no trouble at all this
week in finding Mary Pickford in her
own new seven reel picture, produced
by her own company, entitled Less
Than the Dust" 1t is the feature pic
ture at the Strand. The management
deserves special word Of praise for
the exceptionally fine manner in
which Less Than the Dust" is pre-
sented.
Any one who didn't take seriously
Miss Pickford's announcement several
months ago, that she intended to
make her own pictures in the future,
should see her initial effort in her own
behalf Less Than the Dust" re-
veals the star in an entirely new type
Of role-one that mixes her own in
imitable comedy and pathos with act
ion as dramatic as Dumas story,
with scenes as beautiful as Maxlield
Parish painting.
In LESS Than the Dust" Miss Pick
ford takes You into the heart Of India
on a special tour, written by Hector
Turnbull and directed by John Emer-
son. In the center of the arid desert
under the sunlit skies Is little vii
lage where Rhada lives can recall
no production in my experience In
which was so cepitally handled the
wonderful bazaar scenes, the beautiful
groupings of Indian streets or the
magnificent temple which surrounds
the Holy Pool / have never heard
any audience laugh louder than at the
moment when Mary slips by accident
into the pool, wearing her shoes, and
thereby breaking all the good laws of
Indian worship. And again moment
later came a great shout of laughter
as Mary. fleeing from the pursuing
hathers, stopped for a moment TO mix
up their shoes SO that they could not
follow on the hot pavement.
Being a picture which emphasizes
story above spectacle. no small share
of the success Of Less Than the
Dust Is due to the excellent manner
In which the roles, in addition TO Miss
Pickfcrd's own, are played. The real
test OF the starring vehicle comes at
the moment when she Is not on the
screen. Then is the test as to wheth-
er the interest of the audience is sus-
tanned by the story. Not all the charm
of LESS Than the Quest" is due Ell
tirely to Miss Pickford. David Powell,
for instance plays the hero capitally;
also In the east are Mary Alden. who
is remembered in The Birth OF a Ma.
tom" Mario MajeToni, who took the
role of tho sword maker realistically;
Frances Joyner. Russell Bassett and
others.
II Less Than the Dust" is to be a
forerunner OF a new series OF Mary
Piokford pictures, no exhibitor in the
whole United States can we'll afford
not TO play them. II is reported that
Miss Pickford has already started
work on her second production. For
one ] wouldn't miss It for the world
