WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer Terribly With Corns Because
of High Heels, But Why
Care Now.

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then
proceed to trim these pests, seeking
relief, but they hardly realize the
terrible danger from infection, says a
Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers if you will get from any
drug store quarter of an ounce OF a
drug called Freezone. This is sufici-
ent to remove every hard or soft corn
or callous from ones feet. You
simply apply few drops directly
upon the tender, aching corn or cal
lous. The soreness is relieved at
once and soon the entire corn or cal
lous, roots and all, lifts out without
one particle Of pain.
The Freezone is sticky substance
which dries in a moment. 1t just
shrivels up the corn without inflam-
ing or even Irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. Tell your wife
about this. (adv)

DROP IN PRICE OF CANNED
GOODS BEING PREDICTED.

Immediate drop in the prices Of
canned vegetables has been predicted
by the Food Administrator as the re-
suit of putting into operation the
license system for wholesale dealers.
Much of the canned goods, it was
said, was bought by dealers at low
prices last spring and can be sold at
less than the present market prices.
Dealers charging more than reas-
enable margin Of profit are liable to
the forfeiture of their license to do
business.
The retailers will be controlled by
cutting off,, through the pressure OF
the license system upon wholesalers,
of their supplies If they try profiteer-
ing tactics.

MELANCHOLY OCTOBER.

We confess to feeling stung in the
matter of October weather. In Ken
lucky October should be the month
of mellow midday and cool morning
and evening; the month Of ripened
corn, of frost-dyed foliage. or yellow
pumpkins between the fodder shocks;
the month of marvellous moonlight
nights cool enough for an overcoat.
yet warm enough for lovers stroll.
Ice was half an inch thick upon
rain barrels in Kentucky the last day
of October, and gloomy days. days
Of cutting humid winds, days Of snow
and slaty clouds were numerous in
the October calendar.
Daffodills have bloomed in KEN
lucky Christmas week, and fires have
been laid and lifted in August, but
nothing more unreasonable has Oc-
Cured than the weather Of October
1917.
Let us hope for compensation in

THE KENTUCKY MAGAZINE FOR
NOVEMBER.

The Kentucky Magazine for No
vember is out and carries an inter
esting table of contents. The text
and the illustrations of this issue
make the usual special appeal to Ken
tuckians. The editor, Mr.. Hunting
ton, has an article on Kentucky and
the Perry's Victory Memorial" and
there is a timely article from Alan
p. Gilmour on the Patriotism of
Lincoln" The advertising patronage
which is now coming to this publica-
ton, without special solicitation, is a
positive evidence that it is making
good a little sooner, perhaps, than It's
promoters anticipated.

AN OLD MANS STOMACH.

As we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands Of our bodies. II too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age Of IS or 80. you
will find that he is light eater.
Be as careful as you will, however.
you will occasionally eat more than
you should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin. but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform its func-
tions naturally. They also cause a
gentle movement of the bowels.

To win the war, beer

be necessary. There is a shortage OF
meat and fats. For years this defl-
cheney has been developing. During
that period the international Live
Stock Exposition has acted as con-
serving agency, educating the coun-

this emergency would have been even

is opportune and conditions ripe.
Consumption of meats has reached a
stage several laps ahead OF produc-

out. More cattle, hogs and sheep OF
better quality and earlier maturity,
insuring maximum weight and mini

Fair Warning!

ALI parties owing accounts more
than two months past due to the un-
dersigned merchants, who are mem
bers of the Business Mems Protective
Association of Bourbon County, are
hereby requested to call and arrange
with said mercantS for a settlement
OF such accounts at once. Unless
you do this, each merchant will, ac-
cording to our Bylaws, be compelled
to give your name and amount Of
debt to our Secretary for record and
collection.
The purpose Of our Association is
not to put any hardship or place any
undeserved criticism upon any one
but something had to be done to
break up the dead beat" business
Of this county. Your merchant no
doubt will act humanely and allow
you to pay just a little each week
on your old account. Surely
you do not want your name to ap-
pear in our Delinquent List"
All your merchant and our Asso-
cfation asks of you is come and let
us reason together. Show that you
are honest and mean to pay your
debts, by even paying little each
week as best you can. This is surely
not asking too much. But remember,
you must do this at once, before
our Black Lists are printed and
mailed to each of our members.
