LIFT YOUR CORNS

How to loosen q tender corn

Let folks step on your feet hereafter

sparks Of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops Of a drug
called freezone. applied directly upon
q tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even Irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle Of freezone for you from his

What Is Uric oAcid ?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
,essive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is only a
matter OF toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by treatment with Anuric,
three times a day. Anuric is recent
discovery of DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric Is more powerful agent than
lithia In dissolving uric acid, and \ n

GERMANS RETREAT ON soMME.
Menace Of Dutch and swedes Leads
Teutons to Fall Back in West.

Menace OF Dutch and Swedes Leads
Teutons to Fall Back in West.
Washington.-The great German re-
tirement before Gen. Haigs armies on
the west front was in part result Of
call for more men and materials
for the Holland front, allied diplo-
mats here declared. Military attaches
of the allied embassies said they
would be far from surprised" If the
present German retirement continues.
These diplomats said that with the
Dutch government, incensed over re-
cent vast destruction of her merchant
ships. more belligerently inclined than
at any time since the war began, a big
problem faces the German land forces.
They believe also that the Swedish
menace. added to that seen in Hol-
land. is contributory reason why
the German general staff is willing
to fall back in the west, thereby
slightly shortening the lines she must
defend against Gen. Haig's battering.
and affording an opportunity to shift
the men thus released to the Dutch
front.
