Pennsylvania is declared by. State
Live Stock officials to have fewer
colts this year than for a long time.
The tremendous demand for horses
because of the war and the high
prices paid for animals caused many
brood mares to be shipped abroad
and the stock of horses has not been
kept up. The decline in number of
horses was noticed about Two and a
half years ago. 1t is estiI. ated that
there are between six and seven per

LIFT OUT YOUR CoRNS
Apply a Few Drops Then Lift Corns
Or Calluses OFF With Fingers
No Pain

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
particle OF pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
compound OF ether discovered by :;
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle OF freezone, which will cost
bit trihe, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callus
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or cailus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers
This drug freczone doesn't eat out
