WONDERFUL STUFF-LIFT OUT
YOUR CORNS!
Apply a Few Drops, Then Lift Corns
or Callouses OFF With Fingers
No aPin!


No aPin!
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
a Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callous.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callous. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callous will loos-
en-, and can be lifted OFF with the fin
gers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or callouses, but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore.
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist doesn't
have freezone have him order it for

Texas boy to hit upon a method of cx-
pense making entirely new in records of
the Agricultural and Mechanical college
Of Texas, where he is enrolled as a
student.
P. S. Goen of Harvey, a rural COM
munity near College station, the home
of the college, "showed up' at that
school last fall with the typical baggage
and equipment of young collegian
and, in addition, two good grade Jersey
cows.
"We had an extra supply of cows and
a shortage of currency at home," Goen
explained to President Bizzell. "I want
a college education and I am not going
to let the lack of money defeat me. 1
have decided that I can sell enough
milk to the residents of the campus to
enable me to meet at least my inciden-
tai expenses. All I ask is the use of q
barn and small pasture.''
Through the influence of the president
Goen was given the use of barn and
small pasture and thus entered upon the
dairy business. From the beginning he
experienced no trouble in disposing of
the product of the two cows at the sat.

whole milk. The two cows brought him
an average of $54 per month. Feed
cost approximately 81 per head per
month, leaving the enterprising young
Texan profit of $40 per month. Ex-
penses at the college are very low, and
with this income Goen finished the year
