Cold, chilly, biustery winds and

The winds Of today almost took the

Because the cold weather and the
terrible winds that have been blowing
across the camp grounds there has
been no drill and there will be no pa

Which ordinarily are heard across the
field from one remote corner to the

LIFT YOUR CORNS
sA~.. OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells How to Loosen a Tender Corn
or Callus So 1t Lifts Out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
A small bottle of freezone will cost
very little at any of the drug stores,
but will positively rid ones feet of
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. If your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can get it at any whole
sale drug house for you.
