said no; but they elected him any
way and prevailed on him to qualify
with the understanding that he could
resign. He found it not such a sim

wish to be free from her engage

she could never think of being the
wife of a blind man. He groped his
way from her presence, to his own
now cheerless home and from the
depth of his crushed and broken
heart sprang these words: e

up corn or callus so it lifts
off with the fingers. =
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincannati authority, be-
cause few drops of freezone applied
directly On a tender, aching corn or
callus, stops soreness at once and
soon the corn or hardened callus loos-
ems so it can be lifted out, root and
all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will pos
itively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tri-
ed, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freez-
one tell him to get a small bottle
for you from his wholesale drug
house. 1t is fine stuff and acts like
charm every time.
