LIFT YOUR C0RNS

How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re.
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood TO the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome The trouble is oaly a
matter Of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by treatment with Anuric,
three times a day. Anuric is recent
discovery of DIR. Pierce of Buffalo, n. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.

The Importance of age, sex. exercise,
food, and care as influencing tender
ness and flavor In poultry is pointed
out by home economics specialists of
the United States department of ag-
riculture in a professional paper, Bull
letin 467, just published.
There is much less difference, the
bulletin states, in the digestibility o.
healthfulneSS of the meat of different
kinds of fowls than is commonly sup
posed. Nearly all the nutrients and
energy of poultry. as of other meats.
1t is pointed out, are utilized by the
health normal body. In all kinds of
poultry table quality depends primar-
lily on tenderness and flavor, and these,
in turn, are influenced by age, sex, ex-
ercise, food, and care. Freshness is
also an important factor, but this is
not merely a question of how long
a bird has been dead, but rather of
how far developed are the chemical
and psychological changes which,
when they are carried too far, cause
what we call spelling or decomposition
in the meat. The heterogeneous which
cause dangerous changes are likely to
be introduced by careless and dirty
handling, and for this reason cleanli-
ness should be insisted on. The
changes take place most rapidly in
the presence of warmth and moisture
Hence, cleanliness, cold, and dryness
are at the bottom of all the methods
of caring for poultry on the farm, in
the warehouse, at the market, and in
the home.
