WONDERFUL STUFF! LIFT OUT
YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift cOrns or
Calluses off with Fingers-no pain

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 a compound of ether discovered by
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost
but trifle, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet Of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will
loosen and can be lifted off with the
fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shriveIs
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think. No pain at all no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freezone have him order
it for you.

PRESIDENT HOLDS UP
SUPPLIES FOR RUSSIA
No More Shipments TO he Made
While Bo:shcyiiIi Remain i'm Con-
troll.

Washing gton, Nov. 20.--No snip
ments of supplies will be permitted
to go from the United States to Rus
sia until the situation in that coun-
try clears. The American Govern
ment, before allowing the export OF
goods already on the docks, wants to
know into whose bands they will fall
On their arrival.
The cessation of shipments is tenn
porary only if q stable Government
is formed whicn the United States
can recognize. If the Bolshevikl
gain control and pursue their pro-
gram calling fer q peace with Ger
many, the embargo Will be perma-
nent. y protracted civil war also
would work to keep the embargo
tight,as the United States then would
fear that 5upplias might so TO the
Bolsheviki faction.
Credits given TO the provisional
Russian Government amounted in all
10 1925, 100000, OF which S191,-
100000 already has been advanced.
Much OF this money has been spent
for supplies now awaiting shipment,
and vessels have been furnished for
its transport. Shipment Will be held
up by denial of bunker coal to the
ships.
General kaledines. the Cossack
leader, is described in dispatches re-
ceived at the State Department to-
day from Swedish sources, as the
man of the hour He is said to be
holding Petrograd at his mercy as
regards food, and is expected to take
possession of the capital shortly.
Confirmation of General kale
dimes ascendancy also came to the
department from Consul Smith at
Tiflis, who reported him marching on
Vorenezh with large force of Cos
sacks. VoroneZh is approximately
500 miles south of Petrograd. If
Kaledines gains control Of the rail-
roads rapid advance on the capital
may be possible.
The only definite official informa
ton received by the State Depart
ment from Russia today was that
John F. Stevens, head of the Ameri
can Railway Mission, was on his way
to Vladivostok in connection with
his work. He had been reported in
Moscow. No advices came direct
from Ambassador Francis during the
day.

RAT-PRO0F HOMES
At Slight Expense Rodents May be
Excluded, Say Biologists of U. s.
Department OF Agriculture.

Washington, ID. c.. Nov EN-
constructing dwelling houses the ad-
ditional cost of making the. founda-
tions rat-pr0of is slight compared
with the advantages. says a recent
Farmers Bulletin OF the United
States Department of Agriculture
House Rats and Mice" The cellar
walls. says the bulletin, should have
concrete footings, and the walls
themselves should be laid III cement
mortar The cellar floor should be
OF medium rather than lean con-
crete. Even old cellars may be made
rat-proOf at comparatively small ex-
pense. Rat holes may be perma
nently closed with mixture of ce-
ment, sand, and broken glass, or
sharp bits Of crockery or stone.
On Il foundation like the one de-
scribed above. the walls OF wooden
dwelling also may be made rat
proof. The space between the
sheathing and lath, to the height Of
about a foot, should be filled with
concrete. Rats can not then gain ac-
cess to the walls, and can enter the
dwelling only through doors or win
dows. Screening all basement and
cellar windows with wire netting is
a most necessary precaution.
In both city and country, wooden
floors of sidewalks. areas, and por-
ches are commonly laid upon timbers
resting on the ground. Under such
doors rat shave a safe retreat from
nearly all enemies. The conditions
can be remedied in towns by munici.
pal action requiring that these floors
be replaced by others made Of ce-
ment. Areas or walks made Of
brick are often undermined by rats
and may become as Objectionable as
those of wood. Wooden floors OF
porches should always be well above
the ground.
