IT'S YOUR STEP
 THAT ATTRACTS!
SAYS WOMEN PAY TOO MUCH HEED TO THEIR FACE IN-
 STEAD OF THEIR CORNS

Watch your step! A brisk, lively step is what charms more than a lovely skin, but your high heels have caused corns and you limp little. That's bad, girls, and you know it. Corns destroy beauty and grace, be- sides corns are very easy to remove
 Rid your feet of every corn by ask ing at the drug store for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 A few drops applied directly upon a tender, achy corn relieves the sore ness and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out without pain.
 This free one is gummy substance whic dries instantly and simply shrivels up the corn without inf1aming or even irritating the surrounding skin.
 Women must keep in mind that cornless feet create a youthful step which enhances her attractiveness.
