Women! Keep This On Dresser!
Never Let CornS Ache Twice
Instantly! Few drops stop corn-soreness, then
corns and calluses shrivel, loosen and
lift out with fngers-No paint

The world owes thanks to the genius
in Cincinnati who discovered freezone,
the new ether drug.
Small bottles of the magic fluid can
now be had at any rug store for a
few cents. You simply apply a few
drops of this freezone upon a tender,
aching corn or a hardened callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly you will find the corn or callus
so loose and shriveled that you lift 1t
off with the fingers. Not bit of pain
or soreness is felt when applying
freezone or afterwards. 1t doesn't

even irritatea the skin or flesh.
For few cents one can now get rid
of every hard corn, soft corn, or corn
between the toes, as we'll as painful
calluses on bottom of feet. Everyone
who tries freezone becomes an en-
thusiast because it really doesn't hurt
or pain one particle. -s7--~.a
Tell your druggist you want a small
bottle of genuine freezone. Each bot
tie is packed in a little round wood
case. Don't accept anything else

NOT IN GOOD TASTE
aor Mice Fairfax.

Dear MISS fdlTIdN.
am young American girl married
to a German. My husbands friends
are also all German. When at any
time we make visits to one another
they converse among themselves in
their own language, leaving me to
guess their conversations. Now, as they
know that 1 do not understand, do
you think it good breeding to do so?
Is it unladylike for me to interrupt
with what was that's don't think
that any one of good standing would
like to make a visitor or hostess feel
out of place, do you? 1t really gives
one the most uncomfortable feeling.
PERPLEXED
1t is never kind for people to talk
in whispers which exclude one of their
number to refer to incidents which are
unfamiliar to one of the party or to
converse in a tongue foreign to anyone
present. But it may be exceedingly
difficult for these Germans to express
themselves fluently in English. Why
not be gracious and try to learn your
husbands tongue? Attend pleasantly
to the conversations and perhaps your
eagerness and sweetness will win you
consideration.

EVANSVILLE MILLS
HEAVILY GUARDED

EVANSVILLE, Ind. Dec. Go
Guards with rifles were placed at
three of the largest flour mills in this
city Monday night, and they will be
kept there indefinitely The local
millers received kilograms from the
headquarters of the Southeastern Mil
lers' association, at Nashville, Tenn,
of which they are members, telling
them that government secret service
men had uncovered a plot of German
spies which included the blowing up
of the largest flour mills in the coun-
try during the next few days The
millers at once decided to place heavy
cards around their plants. The mills
had been guarded at night for several
months, but the warning of the asso-
citation caused them to take extra pre-
cautions.
One OF the mills also appealed TO
Edgar Schmitt, chief of police, and he
provided several plain clothes men to
guard the mill The three largest
mills here have been working for some
time on large orders of flour for the
federal government.

Every fishing hamlet and seaside
town is alive with the hustle of pre-

brought in daily by Nova Scotia
fishermen. Fish are spread to dry
on every available space, even house
tops are utilized. The air resounds
with hammer blows as coopers head

are piled high with boxes and bar
rels of fish awaiting transportation.
The number of available vessels,
while large, is inadequate to keep
