New Corn Remover Causes
Big Run on Drug Stores

Since the virtues of IceMint as a corn
remover became known in this country
Druggists have been having an extra :
ordinary demand for this product and it
is predicted that this summer women will
wear smaller and prettier shoes than ever.
The fact that this discovery which
is made from n Japanese product will
actually remove corns-roots and all-and
without the slightest pain or soreness, is
of course mainly responsible for its large
and increasing sale.
You apply just little on a tender
aching corn and instantly the soreness is
relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled
that it may be lifted out with the fingers
root and all. 1t is clean, creamy, sn..w
white, non-poisonous substance and will
never inflame irritate-the most tender
skin. Cutting pairing corns too often
produces blood poisoning and people are
warned to stop it. Just ask in any drug
store for little ice-mint and you can
quickly end your corn misery Nnnd make
your feet feel cool and fine. There is
nothing better.-Ady

END HACK HOLDUPS
Chief Wilson Warns Taxi Driver Not
to Charge Excessive Fares.

If a jitney driver. a taxi driver or a
hack or cab driver overcharges you,
call telephone 4S-that's the police
station number-and tell Chief Jim
Wilson about it.
How will you know whether or not
you are overcharged Well, here's
what the city ordinances say:
No hack, carriage or taxi cab shall
charge in excess of fifty cents to haul
one passenger and such luggage as the
passenger carries any place within the
city limits between O'Clock in the
morning and L O'Clock the following
morning.
mo hack, carriage or taxi cab
shall charge in excess of $50 for the
first hour or in excess of 5 l for each
succeeding hour for the use of such We
hicle between the hours of 6 O'Clock in
the morning and L o'clock the follow
ing morning."
OF course if you enter into a con-
tract with a driver you will have to
live up to your contract. There is
also an ordinance relating to charges
for hauling baggage and it provides
maximum of twenty-five cents for
trunk or a parcel and the hand lug
gage much be carried without charge.

NEW CANNING SCHEME
Put Up Food in Larger Containers
Plan of j. w. Hughes.

Topeka business men met at the
Chamber of Commerce this afternoon
to hear the unfolding of a plan, prom
claimed as a panacea for the high
price of canned goods. The plant of
the Otto Kuehne Preserving company
may be the first plant to produce the
pre- scription for the H c. of L. and
Topeka business men will have the
first opportunity to invest money in
the scheme.
j. w Hughes, of New York, for
merly of Topeka, launched the idea
and explained his plan to the business
men this afternoon. Hughes claims
that the canneries by canning goods
in small quantities tempt the laziness
of housewives and also their economic
tendencies by cooking such materials
for them much cheaper than they can
be purchased. This, because the cam
neries purchase crops and when the
demand is supplied leave much of the
crop to rot in the fields because they
place prohibitive prices on the stuff
making it cheaper for housewives tic
purchase canned goods than to do
work themselves.
Mr.. Hughes was formerly a COM
positor on the State Journal but for
many years has been in business in
New York.
Hughes proposes canning fruits and
vegeta bles in large carboys which, in
turn, will be sold much cheaper than
the smaller canned goods, minus the
cost of advertising and great amount
goods in small quantities. Hughes is
in business in New York and has Of
fered to act as selling agent for carboy
products in that city.
