YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN

Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up corn or callus so it lifts
off with fingers
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority, be-
cause a few drops of freezone ap-
piled directly on a tender, aching
corn or callus, stops soreness at
once and soon the corn or hardened
callus loosens so it can be lifted
out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but
will positively take off every hard or
soft. corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freez-
one tell him to get small bottle for
yen from his wholesale drug house.
1t is fine stuff and acts like a
charm every time.

If the vote carries, we do hope to

paying of the tax that hurts, but
it's the lack of getting the roads
after all our road fund for years

sides, it is much better to vote a
tax under the new law and use
the tax to build roads, instead of
collecting just as much and pay

on a debt to every one dollar
paid on the debt. This is the way

THURSDAY, MAY 81, 1917.

The Times is pleased to see
some of the counties of the State
preparing to vote a 20 cent tax
on themselves to build roads, in
stead of voting large bonds,
which carries a provision for an
additional 20 cents tax. The tax
rs much better in that 1t allows
all the tax money to be spent for
the roads instead of three fourths
Of it being spent for interest on
the bonds sold to build roads.
And, further, the State aid can
then be put into roads along with
the county funds.
Taking Powell for an example,
the $4,000 in bonds voted will
require $4,000 per year to pay
the interest on these bonds, while
If no bonds were outstanding the
full 50 900 could be placed against
$4,000 from the State and there
by the county get four thousand
dollars worth of roads per year,
instead of paying the interest
that does us no good. For five
years Powell will collect, after
Sheritf's fee for collection is ia.
ken out, about $4,000 in road
bond taxes. Two thousand OF
this will go to pay interest while
the 5000 will go to pay on bonds
spent for roads already built.
Our county should certainly
make a change for the tax sys,
TEN by all means. The Times
would be pleased to champion
such a. movement.
