apply upon the corn few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small

hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his

No Sunday in Her Week.

Little Helen is an ardent supporter
of Sunday school. She wouldn't miss
going under any circumstances. A few
Sundays ago, however, she was i'll and

but the next day the secret leaked out
and she exclaimed:
