CHI AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel
up corns or caIiuses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch !?l?ll This kind of rough
Ealk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
TO a tender, aching corn or hardened
callus stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callus dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
f~reezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American wo-
men will welcome this announcement
since the Inauguration of the high
heels. If your druggist doesn't have
freezone tell him to order a small bot
tie for you. 2

The Old Time Skipper.

Inmates of the wardroom on an
American man-of-war often allude to
the captain as the old man or the skip
per. The latter is not, as many sup
pose. a slang term, but a sound word,
OF excellent etymology and valuable as
carrying within itself an interesting
bit OF commercial history. Skipper is
simply shipper, and 1t comes down
from a time when every commander
was as well part owner of vessel and
cargo, or, literally, the shipper. There
are still local shipyards along the At
lantic coast, some Of them the out
growth Of private yards. where the
vessel owners" Of years ago built
their own ships to carry their own and
theft %neighbor's crops to market.

FARMER MEETS AWFUL DEATH.
Drawn Into Threshing Machine and
Body Torn to Shreds.

Washington, Iowa, Aug. 10
Douglas Rathmael, afrmer, was
instantly killed by being drawn into
a threshing machine. The lower part
of his body was literally torn TO
shreds. The machine had kept chok-
ing and would not work properly. In
an endeavor to discover the cause Mr..
Rathmael climbed to the top and be-
gan investigating with stick when
the fatal accident occurred. No one
knows whether a board gave way or
whether the stick caught in the CYL
inder and drew him in. The engi-
neer saw him fall and men near
heard one agonized word, "Help!"-
that was all. 1t is thought he died
almost instantly.
When Mr.. Rathmaels body was re-
moved, it was found that the lower
limbs were horribly cut and mangled
and held together by mere shreds.
He had fallen il such a way that his
face rested in his hands and both
were unscratched.
