ACT INTERRUPTED
WHEN BEAR FALLS

An act not on the Pantages program
was staged for the benefit of the pa
irons OF the first show at the Missoula
theater last night. One of the shaggy.
white coated members of the Alber's
troup of polar bears fell from a de-
fective prop a distance of IS feet, with
out causing any more damage than a
sudden fall of the curtain. The bear
which fell while going through some
gymnastics in the air, landed squarely
on top of another bear. and was not
injured by the fall. For second after
the curtain fell, he turned on the
trainer. but was quickly driven into his
cage. This was the second time in the
last three years, according to the
trainer, that the act Of the animals
had been disturbed in anyway

DOESN'T COST MUCH
TO TRY It ANYWAY
Tells HoWs to Take Soreness
From a Corn and Lift 1t
Right Out.

Hospital records shows that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock
jaw or blood poison, which is needless.
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
YOU that quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit
tie cost from the drug store but is
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply n few drops Of
this on a tender, aching corn and the
soreness is instantly relieved Short
ly the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and ALL without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.-Adv.
