Working Streets.

We've got to hand it to Mayor
McCuan for the great revolution
worked in the Improvement. of the
looks of the town. Holes have been
filled in the streets, bitches opened,
streets widened, and so on, but per-
haps the improvement made that has
occasioned the widest comment is
the opening of the street leading out
from the square to the cemetery.
For years there has existed at the
corner and south of the corner of
this street greatly congested con-
dition, making traffic at times at
that place we'll nigh impossible. But
during the past week Mayor Nc
Guam ordered all the vehicles, the
old lumber, the old, rundown, worn
out wagons and buggies, ETC., re-
moved, the street was graded and
the bitches opened, so that this street
can now be used the same as any
other leading out from the square.
Many of these matters had long been
neglected, requiring a considerable
outlay of time and money to put
back in shape.
We wonder if there might not be
hidden away somewhere a tiny spark
of the "Town Beautiful" PROPOSE
ton? o, hush.

Cincinnati man tells how to shriVeI
up corns or eaIluSes so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch ? I'll! This kind Of rough
talk will be heard less here in town If
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
Of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order a small bottle for you.
