CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the. drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. G. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer of 1914 with
81, 800 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-section Of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer fallowing. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two COWS and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. J. Winstead, Of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
"I landed in Brooks, March 18th,
1916, with one car of household effects,
and nine head of good horses, and less
than $500 in cash. have put $1,000
worth Of Improvements on my farm: I
have 81 head of cattle, 16 head Of
horses, debts all paid, new automo-
bile, and a good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, I can cash in for
$4,000. I am well satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
I have threshed altogether 1000
bushels Of No. Northern wheat from
two hundred acres. which went from
"a to Sc bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels Of wheat, all
No. 1 Northern, two thousand bushels
of oats, 67O bushels of flax, 700 BUSH
els of barley-all at market prices
well, figure this out for yourself at the
market price. I sold 3,1OO bushels of
wheat at $1.747s, am holding the re-
mainder for $500. Also all the oats,
barley and flax for higher prices"
Intelligent farming pays always ac-
cording to Alex. Waite, prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con-
tention that he has ''made good"
In 1914 Mr.. Waite threshed 40 BUSH
els to the acre from a 3O-acre crop.
This sold for $1.60% per bushel, which,
after deducting seed, labor, twine,
threshing and freight, left clear profit
Of $50 per acre, or a total Of 81 800.
