Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
up Corns or Calluses to They
Lift Off With Fingers.

Ouch 2 This kind of rouch
talk will be heard less here in t,wn if
people trubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to 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 infames or even initiates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at
any drug store, but will positively re-
move every hard or soft 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.

Dear Sir:-I have read with inter-
est your editorial in a recent issue
headed "Fine Advertising" reference
in which is made to West Florida and
Hogs. From the tenor of the edi-
torial it would appear that the hogs
are raised in pens. Our investigation
of the hog raising industry and prac-
teal experience in great many
sections of Western North Carolina,
is that the hog is grazing animal
and can be raised within two months
of slaughter on the various grazing
crops, such as grasses of different
kinds, rape, clover, rye, etc. From
my own observation conditions in Es-
Gambia County and other parts Of
West Florida, hogs can be raised as
grazing animals with extraordinary
profit.
l am delighted to note the splen-
did effort Of The Pensacola Journal
| in arousing greater interest in the
hog raising industry, as well as
| other classes Of agriculture, in that
| wonderfully fertile part of the
