LIFT. YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen tender corn
or callus SO it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness Is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
LUIS without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened calus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.

PRAISES L. S. FARMERS
British Minister Says They May In
the End Win War.

London, June 26-"Discontent of
the stomach is more to be feared than
discomfort of the brain--that is why
we value the cooperation of Amer
lean farmers"
This statement was made by r. E..
Prothero, minister of agriculture, to
the Associated Press today. "The
outcome of the war;" said Mr.. Pro-

PUT HOPE IN cOssAcks.
kerenky May Make Deal Which VIII
Yet Save Russia.

Washington. - Encouragement felt
here over the news of the overthrow
of the Kerensky government at Petro-
grad is tempered by hope that the ex-
IRENE radicals who have seized the
capital may not be able to extend their
control over the army or any consid-
cradle part of the country. However,
1t is feared that much blood must be
shed and the nation further democrat
lied before any power rises above the
turmoil strong enough to control the
situation.
The suggestion that the new power
at Petrograd may be short-lived is
based to an extent upon the fact that
the Cossacks, the best military force in
Russia, always have been reckoned
upon to support a strong conservative
government. 1t was conceived in some
quarters that if Kerensky. fleeing from
the capital, should be able to bring his
support General Korniloff, the strong
man of the Russian army, with his
Cossack hackers, ne might set up q
new and stronger government at Mos
COW, where he could count upon the
loyalty of a majority of the popula
ton.
