YES! LIFT A CORN

Lis. LIZ "A COkN
OFF WITHOUT PAM
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so it lifts
off with fingers.
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly Cd
a tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
harden callus loosens so it can be lift
ed out, root and ALL without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
IF your druggist hash It any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. It IS
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.

WILL BROADEN Wis
ION OF INVESTORS.

As the result Of the Liberty
Loan campaign America has rails
ed a new army--an army OF in
veStors, points OUT B. G. Forbes
in an article called "Mobilizing
Men and Money
Perhaps you remark: "The new
army Of investors hold only q. S.
government bonds, not securities
of corporations"
True-for the moment Mr.
Forbes replies. My own belief
is that almost one-half OF all those
who become investors during the
war will develop into investors in
other securities after the war is
over.
"They will turn from Govern
ment bonds to railroad or indus
trial bonds and stocks, the in
come yield Of which will be found
most attractive and stimulating.
"For it is as certain as mathe-
MATES that many thousands Of
those who have for the first time
tasted the joy Of clipping coupons
and receiving interest checks will
apply themselves diligently to in
creasing their holdings Of invest
ments. When war no longer needs
the peoples savings, other chan
nels will be sought. Men and
women in modest circumstances
who have once begun to receive
money for which they did not have
to work, SO to speak, will in most
cases strive painstakingly to con-
tinue and to develop this pleasur-
able experience.
And John D. Rockefeller An
increase in security holders will
prove most beneficial. It will
strengthen a sense Of responsible
ty among corporation managers
and will cause more people to
study conditions carefully before
approving attacks upon business.
''By doubling or trebling the
number Of individual investors,
not only will American corpora
tons be assured Of more vigilant
management, not only will they
be more considerably treated by
the public, not only will the Fed
eral and State legislature think
twice before passing unwise anti
corporation laws, but the United
States will be in an infinitely
stronger position to take the lead
in international finance and inter
national commerce.
"Too many American companies
have been regarded and run as
close corporations by insiders de-
spite the fact that the stocks ana
bonds have been disposed Of to
the public. In tilc Gays Of f..
small investors tits was perhaps
excnsable, but from now On such
an attitude will lie ine1cusable. =
