TELLS HOW TO TAKE SORENESS
FROM A CORN AND LIFT 1T
RIGHT OUT.

Hospital records show that every
time you cut corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
you that quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit
tie from the drug store but is
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply few drops OF
this on a tender, aching corn and the
soreness is instantly relieved. Short
ly the entire corn can be lifted OUT,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky, but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inhaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin

few machines were used. The work,
however, was sharply done, and for
the first time in Japan. The other
departure was the adoption of German
tactics for the concentration of troops
by railways, The attacking army, too,
was larger than the army Of defense,
and this was an unusual feature. The

ARGENTINE ACTRESS
ACCUSED AS One OF
CERMANY'S SPIES

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 26.-Few
women have ever been so popular and
SO beloved by the Argentine public
as Elena Theodorini, an opera singer
famous in this country who was ar
rested by officers of a French cruiser
on a charge that she was a spy in the
employ of Count Luxburg, the former
German minister here. Count Lux
burg received his passports from the
Argentine government for sending to
Germany suggestion that Argentine
ships be sunk without trace.
La Theorodini, as she has always
been called in Argentina, took pass
age on board a steamer for Europe in
company with a group of theatrical
persons whe were known to be friends
OF Count Luxburg. The steamer was
halted off Montevideo by British crus-
ers and some of the others of the
theatrical group were placed under ar
rest. but Thedorini was not molested
until the steamer was overhauled by
q French cruiser off the Spanish coast.
News that the cruiser had taken her
from the passenger steamer on
charges of espionage was surprise
to Theodorinis admirers in this city
for the general public did not know,
as did diplomatic circles that she had
been in recent years d great friend of
Count Luxburg and member of a
circle Of theatrical women who were
dined and wined at the residence of
the German diplomat.
La Theodorini came to Buenos Aires
in 1884 Singing leading parts in well
known operas she soon achieved a
wide reputation and afterward became
SO attaced to Argentine audiences that
she made her home in this city. Since
then she has figured in the musical
and theatrical life of Argentina, al
though she had retired from the
operate stage.
cone of her acts which endeared her
to the Argentine public was her APP
plication for naturalization inasmuch
as she was the first woman of for
eign country to take such a step. Last
year she paid a visit to New York,
where a festival was given in her
