for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
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.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

Grain Is Said To Be Damaged.

Reports reaching the department of
agriculture from the wheat growing
sections of the state indicate that
much damage has been done the grow
ing grain. Commissioner Bryson has
sent out inquiries to all correspond
ents in wheat growing counties in the
state, asking for an estimate of the
damage.
From parts Of Middle Tennessee re-
ports have 1t that the crop has been
killed down to the roots, while in 9th
err parts it is not believed the roots
have suffered. The weather since last
December has been one freeze after
another in practically all parts of the
state. While it all along has been
feared there would be some injury, the
reports now coming in show that the
damage is widespread. Some of the
earliest sown wheat is reported to be
in fairly good condition and with a
milder turn will yet make a good crop
In some sections report has it that
some of the discouraged farmers are
preparing to plant corn where they
had planted wheat few monts ago.

FARMER rAgoms INQUIRY.
rsstifies Before Committee InvestI.
oafIno heath If Insane pafIenfs

Tsstifies Before COMMITTEES lnvestI
eating Death Of Insane Patients.
DR.. w. Scott Farmer, superintend
emit OF the Middle Tennessee Hospital
for the Insane, was the principal wit
ness before the investigating commit
tee of the board of control.
DR.. Farmer told of the testimony
! concerning the charge that attendants
were responsible for the death of OIL
lie G.. Estes having been referred to
him when he took charge of the hos
pital, and said that after he had read
the testimony he discharged two OF
the guards, Albert Thomas and J. l.
Lorance-both of whom were charged
with being responsible for the death
Of the patient, Estes.
DR.. Farmer stated that the board of
control had taken up the matter Of
Estes death as soon as 1t had been
referred to them, or at least the evi.
dence was taken shortly after Estes
death, and members of the board had
informed him that they had turned
the matter over to Attorney-General
Anderson of Davidson county for in
vestigation.
AS for the other charge, DR.. Farmer
said it came from some of the mem.
bers of the family of a Mr.. Thomas
who was an inmate of the hospital for
about 81 days and died of traumatic
pneumonia, and that he had two brok.
en- ribs. Both Thomas and Estes died
of this same trouble. After an inves,
tigation of what little he had before
him in regard to the Thomas matter,
he was forced to drop this complaint,
rs the body had been inferred for
some time and but little evidence was
o0tainab BILE
Asked why the matter had been
kept quiet, DR.. Farmer said he was
not in charge when the two patients
died, and could not say. He did not
know what the policy of the former
administration had been, but he de-
clared he wanted everything investi-
gated at any time, and welcomed pub.
licity.
DR.. Farmer said it was impossible
to get the class of attendants he
should have on salary of $25 a
month, and until the state paid more
money he could not get the class of
such an institution should
have.
