LIFT YOUR CORNs
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or cafius SO it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from loekjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
ileVed 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 or
soft corn or hardened callus: If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
1t at any wholesale drug house for you,

about s o'clock Sunday evening, en-
route to Donaldsonville, Allen. Frost,

and, turning completely over, righted
itself, facing in an opposite direction.

Thibodaux, were thrown out of the
car, the former sustaining fractured
rib, Commissions Of the back, hips and
forehead, and other injuries. Mr..

PREPARING FOR BIG FAIR.
No Depressing Effect Anticipated as
Result of War Conditions

At the recent meeting OF the eX-
ecutive committee of the South LOUIS
lana Fair, composed Of Lewis E. Muir

rotary; J. w. Supple, E. sundbery,
Walter Godchaux, E. P. Gueymard,~
R. E. Noel, G. H. DeRussy, E. U.
Wild, and Leo Marrero, it was re-
solved to proceed theoretically with
preparations for the next annual fair
of the association, which will be held
in Donaldsonville October 3, 4, and
6. A committee was appointed to
make drive for stock subscriptions
through the eleven member parishes
of the association, with instructions
not to let up in their efforts until at
least $4,000 has been raised IN this
manner.
The above committee has been busy
the past week in Ascension parish
and already has subscribed nearly
$500. Next week Iberville will be
invaded, and it is thought that with
the may staunch friends far
in tl Sarish at least pre-
will Sc AIDED. Assumptid@ es,
St. John and the remaining es
will then be visited in tho Ter
named, and with unceaslng ~ on
the part of the committee treat
difficulty is anticipated in the
sum mentioned. This, wi APP
preparations expected fro police
iuries of the various ns par
ishes, should increase the total
amount to a sum sufficient to enable
the directors to hold another big and
successful fair in October
No depressing effect on the success
of the fair is anticipated as a result
Of war conditions, inasmuch as the
fair is designed and intended primarl-
ly as stimulus to the production OF
more and better farm stuff and live
stock, and it's objects and purposes
are exactly in line with the patriotic
recommendation of the president
anaIhe state food prepa aE@s com

the directors to bend every effort TO-
ward making the coming fair no.
table improvement on all preceding
ones, and when the big plant, now
complete in every detail, opens in
October it will again be the mecca of
many thousands of visitors.
