was on the other side of Cambridge

Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel

lift off with fingers.

Ouch ?? p! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town If
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a, few drops
OF drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
LUIS stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him TO order q small bottle for you.

SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION
IS HUNDRED YEARS OLD

The year 1917 is the centennial ami
versary of the American Sunday School
Union, the pioneer Sunday school mis-
sionary organization in the United States,
and announcement is made that prepa-
rations are completed for a proper cele-
bration OF the event, The Union has
enjoyed steady growth as result of a
remarkable record of results, and claims
the distinction Of being the most power
full factor in the religious and social de-
velopment of rural America. II
The American Sunday School Union,
since its organization one hundred years
ago, has numbered among it's officers
many men OF country, and even world
wide prominence, including authors,
statesmen, jurists, fpanciers and mer-
chants. Its second president was John
Mclean, congressman, postmaster
general and justice Of the supreme court;
another executive Of the Union was
Francis Scott Key, who attained nation
al fame as the author of "The Star
.Spangled Banner; also William Strong,
justice of the supreme court, and many
others of equal or greater fame. r.
There are now 23O active field mis-
slonaries promoting the work of the
Union thruout the country. In the
hundred years Of it's activity more than
100000 Sunday Schools have been
established, or an average Of nearly four
a day, and attended by millions of
children.
The organization is undenominational.
Its headquarters are in Philadelphia
where four story building is occupied
and hundred OF people employed. It's
board of managers are all laymen, repre-
senting seven different denominations.
No publications can be issued by the
society to which any one board member
objects. 81
The officers of the Sunday School
Union are: President, Martin Luther
Finckel; vice presidents, Clarkson Cloth
Ter and James F. Stone, M. D.; recording

The Seymour club house is one of the

city, and is it any wonder the farmers
are proud of it, and of the town which
has provided it?
Farmers Enjoy 1t.
Any farmer who enjoys settling down
in a big leather chair, before an open
fire place, with a pile of books and
magazines surrounding him, certainly
enjoys the Seymour farmers club houses
He feels that life is more worth living
if he can meet people of his own kind for
half an hours chat now and then, and
is glad to ride good many extra miles
for the extra pleasure and comfort it
affords. 49, j - =
And every farmers wife knows of the
drudgery of dragging small children
around from store to store; knows what
it is to seek in vain for place of decent
privacy where fretful toddlers can be
cared for. She certainly appreciates
a place where her aching feet can be
rested and tired back relieved, such as
this club house affords, where lounge
is at her disposal and where crib is
waiting for her baby to take it's afternoon
nap.
The farmers club house is good to
look at. You step into paneled vesti-
bule from the street when you enter the
club. The vestibule opens into large
lounging room. Thanking the lounging
room are two nurseries, toilet rooms,
lunch room and kitchenette. Meals
are not served at the club. Guests are
expected to bring their own food, which
they undoubtedly prefer to do in most
cases. The pantry contains shelves
where lunch packages may be checked.
In the ktchenette is a multiple electric
heater where food and drink may be
warmed. There are also hot and cold
water faucets. In the dining room there
are dinner tables, chairs and of course
high chairs for the little fellows. Dishes
and silverware are also provided by the
club. A matron is in constant attend
ance.

One Southern Indiana town has a
handsome club house for farmers, which
has proven decided success. At this
club house the farmers meet their friends
when they come to town, wash up, have
lunch, write letters, enjoy telephone
service and lounge around if they wish.
And their wives may, besides having
these privileges, leave the children in

tions, as described in an exchange are so

The club house at Seymour was plan

that the club house would be fine

The elevators and mills will pay you
