without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least nee a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness Is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal.
LUIS, root and all, lifts of with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment It is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal.
LUIS without inf1aming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid .c1e's feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.

CALOMEL SALIVATES

Acts Like Dynamite on a

Lose a Days Work

There's no reason why a per
son should take sickening, sail
waiting calomel when 80 cents
buys a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tonic "a perfect substi'
tute for calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable
liquid which will start your
liver just as surely as calomel,
but it doesn't make you sick and
cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodson's Liver Tonic, be
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.
1t is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty
calomel today and you will fee
weak, sick and nauseated to
morrow. Don't lose a days
work. Take a spoonful of bod.

you will wake up feeling great.

An immense advances in the develop

declare to be the most unconventional
monarch who ever occupied a throne.
His strongest point was militarism and
he devoted his entire life to the SUI

powerful army, the biggest and most
perfect in every detail. During the
course of a reign, which lasted twenty
seven years Frederick William I built
up an army mum erically greater than
England ever possessed even in the
era of her greatest military expansion,

versal military SERVICE He required
every district to provide its quota of
men and besides these he raised regi-
ments by voluntary en1istments or sup
posed voluntary enlistments, though
the methods used by the recruiting
sergeants left little choice to the peo-
pie. The King had a craze for giants
for whom he sought and kidnapped
from every region where big men were
supposed to grow. He even kidnapped
tall women and forced them to marry

His troops were commanded by mem

was rigid and each regiment was a

taught to be proud of his uniform and
to claim superiority over the civilian

many, especially among the officers OF
the German Army, who demand the
right of way over civilians even when
walking on the streets.
Frederick William raised his army
to the highest perfection and loved to
watch them drill as a miser loves to
count his gold. He was not anxious
to lose them by having them go into
battle. He was reluctantly drawn into
alliances. as he was conscious of his
limitations in diplomacy and was fear

He ill-treated his son, who became
Frederick William II (Frederick the
Great), and was anxious that the
Crown Prince should be a replica of

wholly different nature, for he hated
routine as much as his father loved
it, and he preferred French literature
