A SLIP OF A GIRL.

\ slip of girl in a gown.
She hammers the commas and Q's;
She takes her stenography down,
Her humble profession persues.
Today gave figures on %s,
To ship to an Eastern town.
To the slip OF girl in a. gown,
Nor waited her work to persue
She's willing; she'll never refuse
She never will fuss or will frown;
But sometimes she gives me the blues
For sometimes she acts like a clown.
The price IN that letter to 7rown!
I'm awtully sorry she coos.
But three hundred dollars lose
Through slip of girl in a gown.

SAVE DADS LIFE
GET IT FOR HIM
Says 1t Is Suicide to Cut Com,
and Tells How They Lift
Right Out

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me a quarter Of an ounce
OF freezone." This will cost very lit
tie but is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
tender, aching corn should relieve
the soreness instantly, and soon the
entire corn, root and all, can be lifted
out with the fingers without pain.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincin-
natl man, who says that while free
zone is sticky it dies in a moment,
and seems to simply shrivel up the
corn without infaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or akin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his cornS
but cut this out and make him Try it.
