CLIP THIS AND PIN
on WIFE'S DRESSER,
Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shriycl
Up COrns or Calluscs So They
Lift on With Fingers,

Ouch ! 2! This kind
OF rough talk will he heard less here
in town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice Of this
cincinnati authority, who claims
that few drops Of drug called
freezone when applied to tender,
aching corn or hardened callus stops
soreness at once, and soon the corn
or callus dries up and lifts right off
without pain.
He says froezone dries immediately
and Lever inliames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. 4 small bot
tie Of freezone will cost very little at
any drng store, but will positively
remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. Millions of
American women will welcome this
announcement since the inauguration
OF the high heels. If your druggist
doesn't have freezone tell him to or
der small bottle for you.--Ady.

The resolution submitting an
amendment to the people providing
for biennial sessions Of the General
Assembly was deferred until next

The prohibition bill as passed is a
great modification Of the original
bill. The "bone-dry bill" made it a
pcnitentiary offense to have a tea
spoonful OF whlskey or even home
made wine in your possession for any
purpose. The original DuRant bill
had many Objectionable features in
it, two Of which were: (1st) That
the quart allowed had to be kent on
a shelf in your room where it could
be seen, and 12d) That any person
who refused to tell an officer, upon
request. how much liquor he had,
, and failed or refused to take him in
his home and show him just how
| much he had and where 1t was kept,
! was guilty OF crime and subject to
1000 fine or one year in the peni-
tentiary, or both. The Governor
! asked for a law allowing something
like a quart Of whiskey, or one gal

beer, to be ordered on a permit is

EXPECT TO RAISE $1,000
FOR THE BABY HOSPITAL
Oficials Of Associated Charities Are
Pleased With Prompt Responses
to Their Appeal.

The first mail received at the Office
of the Associated Charities this morn
ing included six letters. each inclosing
contribution for the support of the
Baby Hospital camp in upper Rock
Creek Park With such a prompt
response to the appeal for contribu-
tions that appeared in The Star Satur-
day afternoon officials in charge of the
Baby Hospital camp work are hopeful
that the entire $4,000 required will be
contributed. so that ii will not be neces-
sary to close the camp.
As stated In The Star Saturday, a
deficit of about $4,000 confronts the
Baby Hospital camp. and unless this
sum can be raised the camp will be
compelled to close in a few days and
the thirty babies, under treatment there
VIII have to be sent back to their
homes in the city. This. in the belief
OF the doctors and nurses who are car
ing for the babies will be equivalent
to signing death warrants for many
or these sick babies. as they cannot be
given the proper treatment, care and
food at their homes. Upon the con-
unuance Of the attention they have re-
ceived at the camp, the baby specialists
say. depends the restoration of the
babies to health.
Funds in hand. with tho contribu-
tons received today. 1t was stated, will
make IL possible to continue the camn
Tor a Few days longer, though much
more money VIII be necessary II the
camp is to be continued until cold
weather.
