LIFT YOUR CORNS
, OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so it lifts out
without pain.

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

FACE ONCE WAS EXPRESSIVE
In Modern Times, Says Writer, Gen.
erai Aim Seems to Be to Conceal
Emotion Of Every Kind.

We are accustomed to the idea that
our facial expressions are keys to the
lives we lead, and that one who UNI
derstands human nature may easily
read human faces. That this is true
to a large degree is unqHestioned, for
We have only to look about us to Judge
for ourselves of the happiness or I'M
happiness Of those with whom we
happen to come In contact. Indeed,
in the ages long since past, before
even spoken language permitted the
freer Interpretation OF. mans emo
lions, the human countenance was
the chief means Of expressing, says
the Charleston News and Courier.
One by one the great thoughts Of the
human ace have been reproduced as
far as possible in the eyes and gen.
eral expression Of the face, now fash
ing out with startling significance,
now shining with tranquil assurance,
now displaying ugly lines and charac-
teriStics. As civilization advanced,
however, and the means Of human
intercourse broadened and developed
the need for translating the inner
needs and energies into facial express
sion lessened, until, unfortunately, 1t
is often difficult to read correctly the
message Of the c~ountenance.
Where in former days tle natural
effort Of all human beings, uncon-
scious though 1t may have been,
seemed to be to reveal their wishes
openly upon their faces the general
aim now Is to conceal emotion Of ev-

CHIN CHIN, ARABIAN
 NIGHTS SPECTACLE,
 IS JEFFERSON. BILL
Dillingham's Musical Ex- travaganza Booked Friday and Saturday; Mati-
 nee and Night

In the chorus of "Chin Chin," to be seen at the Jefferson Friday and Satur- day. matinee both days, there are 60 girls. More than two-thirds of these gir:s have never been seen either here or 'n New York
 The chorus is said to be made up of some of the most beautiful young ladies eye: seen of the stage. They have been chosen fiom the rauas ot the pretliest G.ris of every state In The union.
 Gy all arrangement thar was made with a talking machine compsny out of-tGgn applicants for positions .n the chorus who were unablc go to New 1orl. vbere the engagem 2nts were ma de, had their voices recorded on disc rec ords ar the various agencies and the same were sent to Managyr Charles pn- llghan for consideration All If the applicants wrote that they were anxious 10 begin their stage Career under his direction.
 The competition lasted for two months and those selected were given contracts and were notified to be ready for re- hearsal.
 By this means Charles Dillingham; be- lieves that he has secured a unique chorus. well chosen for voice and beauty, the engagements being unprejudiced by any personal reasons.
 Among the typical beauty. chorus are two from Chicago, one from Denver, one from Boston, three from California two from Philadelphia, two from Cleye- land, one from Sioux City, two from New Orleans one from Dallas, Tex, one from Duluth and one from Cheyenne, Wyoming.
 One result of this original scheme of selection Is the report from Mr. Charles Diliingham's stage manager, that he finds in the chorus a maximum of en- thusiasm, intelligence and ambition, thus rendering his work much less strenuous and fatigueing than usual and further more giving promise of specially fine work.
 "Chin Chin" is founded upon one of the most popular tales in the immortal Eastern Saga book of the Thousand Nights and One Night, Aladdin, or the Wonderful Lamp" In fact 1t is frankly called modern Aladdin, in which the two drolls disport themselves as a couple of Chinamen, Chin Hop Lo and Chin Chcp Hi. Outside of the Holy Bible, there is perhaps extant no more univer- sally popular book than this same Arab ian Nights, one of the best known Eng lish versions of which is by the late John Payne, well-known to scholars Tor his powers in English verse His transla- ton of the poems of Master Francls villon remain a monument to his genius.
