W|FE'S DRESSER
Warns women against cutting
corns and says they lift
right out.

Because style DEGREES that women
crowd ard buckle up their tender toes
in high heel footwear they suffer from
corns. then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and women arc
warned to stop it.
4 few drops of a drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone. which
costs very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from ones feet.
This drug is gummy but it dries in
moment and simply shrivels UP the
corn without inf1aming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.-

FOIL PARIS COcHERs
United States Soldiers Prove Mol
to Be Easy Marks.
victlmlzed at First, They Study Resu.
latlons and Now Pay Only
Legal Rates.

Paris.-Paris cabmen have not vet
decided whether the American sol
diers will prove welcome or an I'M
welcome addition to their patrons.
When the men from across the sea first
arrived they were all hailed by the
cabmen as millionaires and the tips
they received were In keeping with the
reputation thus bestowed upon them.
But trust the Paris cocher to kill the
goose that lays golden egg.
He practiced his old game of taking
the most indirect route to reach his
destination and never had any change
when rendered payment. At night II
no policeman was In sight he always
baked at taking an American uniform
without first extorting promise to
pay a fixed price for the course,
which was at least twice his legal fare.
The Americans stood this imposition
for time but finally got tired of being
continually bled. Now they give no
more than the French as tip and as
they become better acquainted with
the city check the willy cabman when
he attempts to take them by round
about routes. They have solved the
night holdup by climbing into the cab
despite the protestations of the cab
men. If 1t is not later than the hour
fixed for him to quit work he must
take them at the regular fare where
they wish to go or drive to police
station and justify his refusal.
AS the average cocher wants as little
to do with the police as possible, he
rarely If ever appeals to them.
AT one of the ports used by the
Americans for landing troops the cab
men charged the soldiers such exor-
bitant prices that the men went to the
police, obtained copies of the regula-
lions governing the cochers and there
after paid only regular fares, giving
no tips. The cochers retaliated by re-
fusing to take American soldiers as
passengers, and If the men got into a
cab anyhow they stopped dead where
they were and refused to move. 1t
was some days before a compromise
was reached.
