YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without Irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

TO CONTROL FOOD
OUTPUT OF THE u. S.

Washington, d. c. May, Both
branches of Congress, Monday, began
consideration of legislation that will
irevolutionize the food output of the
country.
Control of the food situation for the
period of the war and Federal assist
ance for farmers in their efforts to
meet the tremendous demands of the
p! esent exigency was provided for in
a Joint resolution introduced in the
House Monday by Chairman Lever, of
the House Committee on Agriculture.
In the Senate a similar resolution
vas introduced by Senator Gore, Of
Oklahoma. The Lever resolution was
offered as a war measure. ITO pro-
vide for the national secrecy and de
Tense by stimulation of agriculture and
facilitating the distribution of agricul-
tural products" is the purpose Of the
measure.
| While the resolution does not speci-
Ifically provide price fixing either at
maximums to the consumer or mini
rIums to the producer, it at the same
I time does seek in every other way to
regulate production and distribution.
1t provides specifically against the
boarding of supplies in the face of ma
tion-wide need.
It provides that the foodstuffs indus
tries which come in direct contact
with the consumers markets shall be
controlled, forbidden indulgence in
any discriminatory practices or the
eAaction of more than fair prices.
This is the nearest point to price
fixing that the resolution comes. 1t
carries an appropriation of $4,000, 900
fer the work.
The measure will be discussed in
committee Immediately and reported
at an early date.
I The bill to be introduced later will
confer plenary power on the President.
CT suggestion of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, to more adequately
handle the situation, including the fix
ing of prices, both minimum AMI
maximum; to prescribe national prohi
bition in the Presidents discretion,
regulate transportation Of food pre-
ducts and deal with produce exchanges
and Boards of Trade to prevent un-
Que speculation.
/ Representative Lever made this eX-
planatory statement:
This is one of several proposals
for carrying out the plans agreed upon
and outlined by Secretary Houston in
his report of April IS to the Senate for
controlling the food supply of the ma
ton during the war. A companion
proposal is nearing completion and
should be introduced within the next
few days.
These measures are based on the
war power and merely undertake to

by the existing emergency, as basis
Of consideration for final legislation to

supply, to bring about equitable dis

food took definite shape in the House
Monday when a joint food conservation
resolution was introduced by Repre-

The resolution empowers the De-

throughout the country, including an

OF food available, its location and the
source of production.
II also offers as a basis of considera-
ton of final legislation to stimulate
