WOMEN TORTURED!
surfer Terribly With Corns Because
OF High Heels, But Why
Care Now.

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then
proceed to trim these pests, seeking
relief, but they hardly realize the ter.
r1ble danger from Infection says a
Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers if you will get from any
drug store quarter of an ounce Of a
drug called freezone. This is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet, You
simply apply few drops directly
Upon the tender, aching corn or calIus.
The soreness is relieved at once and
sooB the entire corn Or callus, root
and all, lifts out without one particle
Of pain.
This freezone is sticky substance
which dries in moment. It Just
shrivels up the corn without inflaming
Or even Irritating the surrounding It's
'ue or skin. Tell your wife about this.

FARMERS WILL. RECEIVE A GOLD
EN- HARVEST FROM THE
GREAT STABLE.
one large Dealer Declares That He

I've Former Years.

FARMERS OF Maury county are ,aap.
Ing golden har es, f.. " rest
corn crop ever grown, not only will
the corn yield OF the gou.i,, ,.,aelv
eAceea That OF any previous season,
pul they are receiving from the field
and really before gathering time the
best price that has ever been paid for
that great staple.
At % and $50 per barrel or more
than a dollar a bushel it is not diff.
cult, with fine yield, to figure the
profits that are going to accrue from
held OF corn. Dealers estimate that
al 500 now, with corn green and inn
mature, The growers are receiving the
equivalent OF six dollars for the crop
month or TWO later.
H. j, Park, Of the Culleoka Produce
company, one Of the largest and best
KNOWN buyers of corn in the county.
declared this morning that from his
survey of the crop in that territory he
Was sure that the yield CT corn in
Maufy county was more than douDIe
that OF last year.
In fact continued Mr.. Park ~
would not be surprised If it was sot
three times the yield of last year. The
big farmers have not touched their
crop and yet we have already shipped
seven car loads averaging ITO barrels
to the car This mostly came from
the tenants and smaller farmers and
the real gathering season has not yet
arrived. This is just a drop in the
bucket to what the shipments will be
when the movement really begins"
Conditions in practically all other
sections of the county are similar to
hose described by Mr.. Park in his
territory. There is going to be a
golden flow of dollars as a result of
he immense corn crop in Maury
county.

uStlcS IN favor OF the present meth
cd of treatment.
Today the records show a mortal
ity rate of is per cent for diphtheria.
1t would not be right to say that the
mortality rate has not been reduced,
but neither is it true that the only
factor in reducing it a trifie was anti
toxin. The fact is that doctors now
do not try to force-feed such a pa
tent, nor do they isolate them in an
unlighted, unventilated room. These
factors, though simple, with the right
addition of wet congresses, have
had more to do than antitoxin.
AS a further proof that figures
have been juggled to prove the case
of antitoxin, many Of the leading
physicians, including Osler, now
state that antitOXin to the amount of
even 10000 units should be used in
many cases. Still the reputation of
antitoxin. was established upon the
use of from 5000 to $4,000 units in
each case. Another significant fact
is that the serum and. vaccine-pro-
ducing plants are owned, controlled
and invested in by physicians. While
this fact would not in any way de-
teTiorate the value or virtue of any
healing agent, still it might infu-
ence our health boards, who are all
doctors, and our health inspectors in
forcing the use Of such agents upon
the public.
There are very few facts indeed
that vivisectiOn has established, and
of those that it has established the
need for repetition of the tortures
should be abolished. The statement |
of physician" that he would like to
operate upon c. F. Hunt, and forget !
for the moment what viYisection has /

Physicians have always taken

Of fact, barring cases of accident,

UNCLE SANS LOST INCOME
Readers of The Day Book of April
IL will have noticed that congress,
which is the fiscal agent of Uncle
Sam, is about to pass a bill providing
for a bond issue Of $5,OOO,OOO,OO0.
Now our beloved Uncle Sam,
though over 100 years old, is yet de-
MED his freedom and is under the
guardianship of men who don't know
he is of age and have no conception
of the fact that he is about the rich
est uncle in the world. So in admin
istrating his affairs they ignOrantIy
act as if he was a bankrupt without
any property who must go out and
rob somebody in order to pay his eX-
penses.
Therefore, following the benighted
example of the financiers Of the past,
they imagine the only way to finance
our beloved uncle is to borrow from
his rich nephews and nieces all the
money they will consent to loan at
31b per cent and promise to tax his
poor relations now in existence, and
also those who may be born into the
family in future years, to pay this
bonded debt.
These purblind financiers have a
soothing way of justifying this sort
of business by saying that posterity
gets the benefit of our expenditure Of
this plumber and should pay at least
a part Of it.
