SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to anv corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts out with the fingers.
It is a sticky ether compound which
dries the moment 1t is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. 1t is claimed
that a quarter of an ounce Of freezone
will cost very little at any of the
drug stores. but is sufficient to rid
ones feet Of every hard or soft corn
or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at a corn IS a suicidal habit.

MOON ECLIPSE
SUNDAY NIGHT
Starts Near Midnight and Continues
for Nearly Three Hours-How
Shadows Will Fall.

If the clouds don't interfere Keo-
kukians may observe a total eclipse
of the moon on Monday morning. The
surface of the moon will begin to be
covered at 11:51 Sunday night. The
total eclipse will be between the
hours of 100 a. m. and 2:29 a. m.
Monday morning. The moon will be
clear again at 3:39 a. m. IT will be
totally or partially eelipsed for a
period of three hours and forty-eight
minutes.
The moon will enter the earth's
shadow or the west Side, hence will
appear eclipsed first on the east side
of the moon. And after the moon be-
gins to emerge on the other side of
the shadow the eclipsed portion will
pass off on the west side OF the moon.
- The moon is about 2,160 miles in
diameter and will pass eastward and
little to the south through the
earth's shadow at the rate Of about
1854 miles an hour. This is much
slower than its average velocity,
which is 2,2SS miles an hour.
The moon is approaching apogee,
the farthest point from the earth and
hence will move more slowly until
it passes that point.
The distance through the section
of the earth's shadow where the moon
will. pass through will be 5,255 miles.
