You know we're always thought
that the bumps are what make US

SUFFERING CATS!
GIVE THIS MAN
THE GOLD MEDAL

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard. soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out. without
particle Of pain or soreness.
This drug Is called freezone and is
compound Of ether discovered by q
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle. but is sufficient to rid ones
feet Of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender. aching corn or callus. Instant
ly the soreness disappears and shortly
the corn or callus will loosen and can
be lifted of with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; NO sore
ness or smarting when applying It or
afterwards. II your druggist don't have
freezone have him order 1t for you.

pear frivolous or unthinking in crisis
like this. When women are dressed in
gold or silver. In jeweled trappings
and In precious gems. that vast pub
lie that is thinking only Of how to
live and how to sacrifice. might begin
to murmur those terrible sentences of
the French people in the revolution.
1t is the appearance Of extrava-
gance, therefore, that women should
avoid In these times Of stress. Let
them spend as literally for apparel
as they can afford. but let all women
follow the lead Of the wealthy and
conservative set and see to 1t that their
clothes reflect this great hour in dig
nifty. seriousness and simplicity.
1t is interesting to know that Ger
many Is the first Of the belligerents
to put a restriction on the amount Of
wearing apparel for each person. The
imperial clothing office has fixed the
amount of garments that each man
or woman may buy or possess during
the year. This Office also limits the
amount Of material which may be used
in the making of a gown or a suit.
No one may purchase yard Of ma
terial or single garment without u
special permit.
1t Is also interesting to know what
imperial Germany thinks is sufficient
in the way Of clothing for one wom-
an-two everyday frocks, one SUM-
day frOck, one separate skirt, two
blOuses. one coat or cape, one shawl,
one dressing gown, three aprons, one
pair Of gloves, half dozen handker-
chiefs, four chemises, three night
gowns, three combinations or bloom
ers, three petticoats and four pairs Of
stockings.
Clothes That Appear Well.
1T is the comment of all dress
makers that they are compelled to
sell gay clothes at half the price Of
solemn ones. This should be a guide
to all those who are preparing to
plan the summer wardrobe.
There is no idea of substituting
black for all colors. as there was in
France at the beginning Of the war,
for we're not facing an invading army
and burying masses Of our dead. Yet,
women are choosing frocks with only
bit of white, or Chinese brocade, to
enliven them; and beige. sand. white
and dull plaids are preferred to red,
blue, green and purple.
The woman who may have chosen
cloth Of gold brown with a tunic
over 1t for last summer, will today
choose a frock Of white satin with a
bit Of black tulle at neck and arms,
and girdle of ribbon velvet with a
rhinestone buckle. She may pay as
much for the one as for the other,
but she takes her place in the world
with more dignity In the latter than
In the former frock.

son, but instead Of choosing the ex.
cessively decollete gowns that have
been fashionable, they prefer to be
seen In frocks Of silk and tulle, OF
lace, that are high at the back and
transparent, and have long, transpar.

it should take upon itself the appear
ance Of costing little.
A black satin dinner frOck, for in
stance, built in draped lines, with a
bit of good lace at the neck. or mere
ly distinctive turnover collar OF
black and white tulle arranged In a
modest decolletage, may have cost as
much as a black and gold brocade Of
last season, trimmed with tulle and
metal and draped In a daring way
that focused the attention. But the
effect Of economy was there.
The majority of women think that
any undue display Of apparel is In
bad taste. They feel that the amount
of money they pay for their clothes
Is a private and personal matter; but
that any visible and outward display
of the high cost Of the gown is a
public matter, and one that the public
has right to criticize.
The question of food is handled in
much the same way. If you have
been to anyone of the three-course din
ners given by the rich women Of the
country, you may have had to go home
and take soda mint to forestall indiges-
ton.
There are three courses; against that
there is no discussion. The quantity
of food that can be put into three
courses forms the interesting part of
this subject, but. mind you, the food
is not expensive and 1t is not elaborate
ly prepared. The effect on the one
who dimes is that the inner man is
satisfied with nourishing food perfect
~ cooked.
Onions and potatoes may cost a
good deal; rice may have gone up in
price; chops may be much higher than
mushrooms with French sauce; but
who can gninsay the effect Of severe
simplicity In the serving Of this type
Of food?
Just what the women who serve
three courses have done to their cook
cry is what the women of wealth
have done to their clothes.
See Effect Of Economy.
After the first hysteria Of war econ
omy was over. women saw its foolish
ness in regard to apparel. A few facts
sufficed to give them a different atti-
tudc.
When several dozen seamstresses
had their engagements Cancelled for
the spring season and were at their
Wits end to know how to pay uie
rent and get food, the women who 4. l.

that 1t was better to pay wages than
to give to charity.
When hundreds of gowns were
thrown back on dressmakers' hands,
on the plea that there would be no
money to pay for such extravaganza,
and the dressmakers were compelled
to hold sweeping sales that under
valued whatever clothes the rich wom-
en- had already bought, new idea
concerning economy was born In the
brains Of wealthy women.
The second movement on the part
Of masses of women was then direct
ed toward providing money for those
who worked, and at the same time
eliminating the appearance of waste
and extravaganza.
