YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN


You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed You before says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn OF
hardened callus loosens 80 it can abe
lifted out, root and all, without PAIN,
"a small bottle Of freezone cost vet N
little at any drug store, but will pos,
lively take off every hard or soft,
corn or callus. This should be tried
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin. "
elf your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or caIlus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin.
gers
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard OF
soft corn or hardened callus If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you

tion and distribution. The mine workers representatives stated to the President that agitation by state councils of de- fense, state organizations and state gov- ernmens looking to state control of coal mining operations and coal production was, in their opinion, doing much harm and that this injurious effect would be overcome only by federal action and federal control.
 "The President was requested that with the agency or authority, through which the government would exercise control over coal production, that representatives of all clements, miners and operators, en- gagged in the production of coal would be associated. It was their opinion, based upon Knowledge and experience, that corporation of all forces engaged in coal production could be brought about if they were represented in an advisory capacity or otherwise, with the agency or authority exercising governmental control.
 We deny most emphatically that eith- CT a request or suggestion was made in opposition to reduction of the selling price of coal. Our mission was for no other purpose than as stated herein

 Priority of shipment is recognized as one of the biggest problems confronting the government in any solution of the coal situation. Two new laws, officials believe, give the government full pow CT in that respect. They are the act empowering the President to direct prior ity for certain shipments and the act giving the interstate commerce commits sion power to direct the movement of
