ouch ?.?-! This gind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town If
people troubled with corns will follow
the Cimple advice of this Cincinnati
authority who claims that few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn stops soreness
at once and soon the corn dries I'D
and lifts right out without pain.
He says freezone is sticky sub
stance which dries Immediately and
never inflames or even irrit0tes the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
of an ounce, which will cost very little
at any drug store, is said to be suffi.
Gent to 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.

The widespread interest in the
development of the oil and gas resour.
ces of the country gives forthcom'
ing report on a Montana area spec
ial value to oil prospectors III that
State.
A report on the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation Just issued by the Geo
logical Survey of the Department OF
the Interior as a result Of field work
first undertaken for the Office OF In
dian Affairs describes the geology OF
the southwark extention of the Cal
gary field Of Alberta, Canada. The
reservation is underlain by the same
formations that have yielded small
quantities OF oil and gas in the Cal
gary field. The report points out the
general similarity of the two regions
and discusses the geologic facts up
on which an intelligent search for
oil and gas in the reservation must
be based. To this end 1t describes
in detail about thirteen anticlines and
structural terraces points out favor
able or unfavorable features in each
and indicates the most advantageous
places for drilling and the depths at
which the possibly productive sands
may be reached.
The sandstones in the lower part oil
the Colorado shnle and the underlying
iSotenal formatin are believed to be
the only sources of oil and gas in this
region. Although there are no known
surface indications of oil and gas with
in the reservation, recent discoveries
have demonstrated the presence of ne.
tloleum and petroleum residues in
the lower part Of the Colorado shale
in an area adjoining the reservation
on the south. There it was found that
q body of shale about 80 feet thick. in
the lower part of the Colorado, is pet.
roliferous over considerable area.
Small samples OF this shale yielded
on distiliation about 2 gallons of oil
70 the ton. and thin beds Of limestone
intercalated IN the shale are impreg.
mated with soft tarry bitumen. The
facts, together with the known occur?
renee Of oil and gas in the Colorado
sale in Alberta and Of seeps from the
same shale IN northern Montana, lead
70 the belief that oil and gas may oc.
cur IN some OF the areas OF most ia.
vorable structure In the Blackfeet In.
dia reservation. Eugene StebinRer.
the author OF the report, believes that
the chances for success In the reser-
Walton are sufficient to warrant care.

cabled and personal invitations OF repre-
sentative members Of the British and
French parliaments for closer affliation
Of the parliamentary bodies of the allied
governments through personal confer
ences at the British, French and Italian
