LIFT YOUR CoRNS

How to loosen a tender corn

without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops Of a drug
called ~freezone, applied directly upon
a 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 corr 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

P0RP0ISE FISHERY IS OLD
One Of Least Known Industries Has
Been In Existence at Cape Hat
teras for 200 Years.

One of the oldest and least-known
industries in America is the pOrpoise
fishery which has been operated from
Cape Hatteras in North Carolina for
about 200 years. 1t should attain an
unusual prosperity in the next few
years, for the bureau of fisheries is
urging more general use Of porpoise
hides in place Of cOwhides. 1t is an
excellent leather, and could undoubt-
eddy be used more widely.
Heretofore the most valuable prod
uct of the fishery has been the oil
which is extracted from the jaws of
the porpoise, and is worth about $50
a gallon. 1t is universally used for
lubricating watches and other very del
icate mechanisms. The body blubber
is also valuable. Attempts to manu-
facture fertilizer out of the carcass
have failed because Of the distance
from a fuel supply.
The porpoise are taken at Hatteras
in seines, operated from the shore, and
1t is probably the only place in Amer
lea where this has ever been done
successfully. During the fall, winter
and spring many pOrpoises are seen
off the South Atlantic coast, and at
Hatteras they come within a few hun
dred yards Of the surf. They are
taken by spreading seines about 200
yards outside the surf lines. AS soon
as the porpoises have come inside the
seines, they are dragged ashore. Often
a whole school of these sea creatures
is taken in a single haul.
