KNIFE ON CORNS

TELLS HOW TO LOOSEN A TEND.
Err CORN so IT LIFTS OUT
WITHOUT PAIN.

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 q Cincinnati authority to
use a drug called freezone, which the
moment few drops are applied to any
corn, the soreness is relieved and soon
the entire corn, root and all. lifts out
with the fingers.
1t is sticky substance which dries
the moment 1t is applied and is said to
simply shrivel the corn without infiap-
ing or even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin. II is claimed that a
quarter of an ounce will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but is sutfi-
cient to rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or ca7lus.
You are further warned that cutting
at corn is a suicidal habit

Pennsylvania Railroad Will Get Need
ed Fuel on Pro Rata
Basis.

Washington.-Th full power Of the
government was exerted to solve the
coal shortage problem when the first
Communicating order was issued.
Under the order issued by DR.. Har
ny A. Garfield, fuel administrator. the
Pennsylvania railroad, which serves
700 mines, will be supplied by the bi'
luminous producers on pro rata
basis.
The fuel needed by the Pennsyl-
vanla system must be furnished at the
prices fixed by the government. In
some instances coal consignments un-
der contract for delivery to other In
dustries will be interfered with by the
order
"The railroads must be kept run
ming" said the fuel administrator in
an official statement. The fuel admin
istration suggests that operators with
hold coal from persons and corpora
tons needing 1t least, and that they
attend particularly to supplying the
needs of roads other than the Penn

WORDS LOST THEIR FORCE
schwab Should Have Spoken Into
Photograph, He lie Told, When
Discussing His Speech.

A banker who was told that Charles
M. Schwab, the president Of the Beth
lehem Steel works, was one of the
most forceful speakers ever heard at q
banquet table, said he believed 1t, and
then told this story:
About the time that Schwab was
buying Bethlehem Steel, and had made
arrangements with Pliny Fisk Of New
York, to handle the bonds, he went
over to New York, and, of course, was
entertained at a dinner. There he
made one of his most forceful utter
ances. Mr.. Fisk was moved TO such
an extent that he said to Mr.. Schwab ::
'That will sell the bonds. Only, you
should write 1t out for me when YOU
reurn, so / shall make an accurate
statement"
Mr.. Schwab wrote out his remarks
as soon as he got back to his home and
sent them to Mr.. Fisk.
Mr.. Fisk saw him soon afterward,
and said: why didn't you write me
what you said7"
II did" responded the steel master
II wrote the exact words"
"Well," answered Mr.. Fisk, much
disconnected, "you should have spoken
them into a photograph"
