Oil Does Not plspeI Zoos.

The statement has been made that
the presence of oil on the sea has a
marked influence in the dissipation of
fog, but there is not the least fOunda-
ton for this, as has been determined
by four reports from naval vessels
along the Maine and Massachusetts
coasts and on the Delaware river. Off

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle OF freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness In
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all. dries up and eau
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
a moment, and simply shrivels up tho
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezons

his wholesale drug house for you.--adv,

Pocket Boots for Fishermen

A pair of rubber boots so light that
they may be rolled up and carried in

the use of amateur fishermen, says the
Scientific American. For wading
through streams they are worn over
the leather shoes, affording all the pro-
lection of the heavy boots without the
inconvenience of the latter when on
the way to and from the fishing
ground. The boots are made of pure
gum, fashion lined and have an eles-
tic top, thus fitting tightly around the
