PATENTS AUTO BUMPER.
New Device Invented by Hugh Mckee Appears to Be of Great Efficiency.

Hugh Mckee. who is employed at the Danielson inn, has perfected and procured additional patents on an au- tomobile bumper that IS not only a unique device but also very effective one for the purposes for which it is intended.
 In collision with any object an au- tomobile equipped with this device au- toma tically has its clutch thrown out ot spark cut off and it's brakes set at emergency tension. This automatic in collision whether driver loses his nerve or not. A 50pound blow will set the brakes snap tight.
 MT. Mckee has had patents on the bumper for some time, but he has made improvements that have brought it to state of perfection. MT. Mo- kee has a car at the inn that is equipped with his patent, which Is similar in general appearance to the ordinary run of bumpers, which, how over, it far outclasses in special auto matfc braking features.

LIkEELECTRIC
 BUTTON ON TOES
TELLS WHY A CORN IS so PAIN. FUL AND SAYS CUTTING
 MAKES THEM GROW.

Press an electric button and you form a contact with live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn it pushes it's sharn roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain.
 Instead of trimming your corns. which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or cal ius from ones feet. A few drops ap- piled directly upon a tender. aching corn stops the soreness instantlv ana soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all, without pain This drug Is harmless and never in flames or even irritates the surround ing tissue or skin.
