Arkansas and Representative Keat

tical bills to prohibit interstate ship
ment of goods made in whole or in
part by women employed more than
eight hours day or more than six

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of freezone applied directly on
a tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted 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
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.

If BILIOUS OR COSTIVE
For Sick Headache, Sour Stomach,
Sluggish Liver and BoweIs-They
work while you sleep.

Furred Tongue, Bad Taste, Indiges-
ton, Sallow Skin and Miserable Head
aches come from torpid liver and
clogged bowels, which cause your
stomach to become filled with indi-
gested food, which sours and ferments
like garbage in swill barrel. That's
the first step to untold misery indi-
gestion, foul gases, bad breath, yellow
skin, mental fears, everything that is
horrible and nauseating. A Cascaret
tonight will give your constipated
bowels a thorough cleansing and
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist will keep you feel
ing good for months.
