ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No foolishness! Lift your corns
and caIIuses off with fingers
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns Or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn few drops Of
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
It is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while APP
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug hOuse.-adv.

Reorganization Of Minnesota's Com

st. Paul.-Increase of the legal mini
mum school term from six to eight
months and removal of the legal maxi
mum restriction of ten months is
recommended in the biennial report of
c. G. Schulz, state superintendent of
education, soon to go to the governor.
1t gives favorable mention to the "all
year" school.
There is growing sentiment that
the traditional summer vacation should
be shortened by intermittent vacations
of less length and that schools should
be free to continue in session through
out the entire year.
Dozen Recommendations
mot only should the six months
minimum term be increased to eight
months, but attendance of pupils for
sharing in the state apportionment
fund should be fixed at 100 days in
stead of 40, as it now is"
Increasing the school term is only
one of dozen recommendations in
the report for legislation this year.
On issuance of teachers certificates,
for instance, Mr.. Schulz proposes exist
ing laws be repealed and power to fix
and adjust standards for training and
licensing teachers be left with a CEN
trail state authority.
Favors County Boards.
Other recommendations include:
Creation of county boards of educa-
ton. which should appOint county SUI
perintendents; authorize county SUI
perintendents to appoint rural school
supervisors, theAr salaries to be paid
by the state; provision for state
mileage tax to replace the specific ap-
preparations as state aid for public
schools, and provision that no school
district shall receive aid for it's schools
unless the district tax levy for school
maintenance exceeds mills.

Cats and large snakes are enemies
Of birds, the former perhaps killing
more birds than any other mammal.
Trees and poles supporting houses

give more or less trouble by gnawing
houses, eating eggs and killing nes-
things. Red squirrels, in particular,
have a very bad reputation in this re-
