Cincinnati Authority Tells How To
Dry Up A Corn Or Callus So 1t

You corn-pestered men and wom-

shoes that nearly killed you before,

cause a few drops of freezone appli-
ed directly on tender, aching corn
or callus, stops soreness at once and
soon the corn or hardened callus
loosens so it can be lifted out, root

A small bottle of freezone cost
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as il is inexpensive ard is said not

If your druggist hasn't any free

for you from his wholesale drug

"WITHIN THE LAW"

within the Law" the greatest le gltlmate stage success for a decade opens at the Best theatre Tuesday ant Wednesday as a silent drama produc
 tion by Greater Vitagraph, and ap pears destined to be as great a screer
 success as was the speaking produc.
 tion several years ago.
 There are numerous reasons why
 the silent dramatization of Bayart
 Veillers' wonderful story should ane
 will meet with popular favor wher
 ever it is played. The characters in the
 play ru nthe entire gamut of human
 emotions. That ever burning question the salary that should be paid to de- partment store girls in order that they may follow the straight and narrow path of virtue is wildly portrayed by Alice Joyce, who, as Mary Turner, a department store girl, is arrested for stealing from her employer Upon this one apparently insignificant act in itself Veillers has built play ever to be remembered, and Director Will liam P. s. Earle of Greater Vita graph, under the supervision of Com- modore J. Stuart Blackton, has pro- duced silent drama that must leave its mark on screen history.
 Mary Turner is accused of the theft by another department store employe. Notwithstanding her protestations, she is convicted and sent to prison for three years. Before starting her trip to Sing Sing she is granted an inter- view with Glider, the proprietor of the department store, her accuser. She first begs for mercy, which is refused. and then she gives him the solution of stopping the store thefts.
 Pay your girls more than six dol lars a week." she tells her former employer, "that will stop the thefts and save the girls" He sneers at the advice and is led away.
 The screen version of "Within the Law" is even more compelling than the speaking verson. The space limita- tions of the legitimate stage are made extremely noticeable in the film yer sion. On the legitimate stage in the United States it would be impossible to stage complete department store, with it's hundreds of patrons, as is shown in the first part of the picture. The same applies to many other scenes in "Within the Law"

P. B. COMPANY GIVES
 EMPLOYEES TURKEYS


 Employees of the Pine Bluff com pany will be among the comparatively few who will partake of turkey meat this Christmas. And they will be able to do so with a relish because of a realization that possession of the high priced birds did not at all reduce their Christmas money" In accord with it's usual custom, the Pine Bluff company today will present each of it's employees with big turkey as Christmas remembrance. More than 80 turkeys will be distributed to day by the company. As the birds are selling at about 38 cents per pound, a little calculation will show that the more than half a ton of turkey meat the company will give way today represents quite a sum of money.
