Signs of White Way
Threatened by War

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-The elm
nation of electrical display advertise
ments and all other non-essential
illumination in New York and other
Eastern cities during the next winter
will be recommended by the coal ad-
ministration, according to the opinion
of officials in touch with the fuel sit
uation.
This method of conserving fuel has
already been brought to the attention
Of the President. 1t is reported that
the President looks with favor upon
the proposal if it can be effected by
voluntary arrangements with electric
companies and advertising agencies.
However, officials state, it will be-
come necessary to enforce light con-
servatIon during the winter, and pre-
dict that if this is not done through
voluntary measures, it will be accom-
plished through a virtual coal ration
of electric light companies.

SAYS THE DRUG IS
 AN ETHER COMPOUND
Just Few Drops LOOsens Any Corn So It Lifts Out With
 out Pain.

You simply say to the drug store man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone" This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from ones feet.
 A few drops applied directly upon tender, aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted out with the fingers without pain.
 This new drug called freezone is an ether compound discovered by Cin- cinnati man. who says that while freezone is sticky 1t dries in a mo- ment, and simply shrivels up the corn without inf1aming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin.
