Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of q corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie Of freeZone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment 1T is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just Think You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit Of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get a small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Deem PurpIe Iinoerie Latest.

The color of underclOthes is a mat
ter in which feminine taste has
changed enormously within less than
a generations time. We can all Of us
remember-except those of us who are
still in our teens-the time when a
well-bred woman would rather smile
at the idea of wearing anything but
pure white lingerie. The only conces-
sion she made was in the way of pink
or possibly blue ribbons. But now
deep purple is not too vivid hue for
ones underwear-and deep purple
with green hand block designs is con-
sidered especially chic. A deep purple
nightgown thus decorated in green is
shown in one smart shop and TO top
the climax there is a purple velvet
pansy placed at the top of the left
shoulder.

SHOCKING is USED
Strongly Favored as Trimming
for ChiIdren's Frocks.
Use Of Boomers Matching Dress APP
proved for Girls From Four
to Eight Years Old.

Shocking Is the trimming favored
above all others in development of
simple serviceable little frocks for
children. The dress shown in the
sketch owes its distinction entirely TO
the use of shocking, which trims the
pockets and confines the fullness of
the little fr0ck below the yoke. so that
an empire-waisted dress rather than a
mere yoked model is the result. The
dress buttons in the center back. The
yoke cuts straight across the back,
emitting the elongated or panel effect
featured In front.
To make this frock for four or
six year old girl two and a quarter
yards of material SO inches wide will
be required.
In fashioning these serviceable little
tub frocks the use of little boomers
matching the dress is strongly ap-
proved. This does away with the
need of petticoats, which are an abom-
ination to the average sturdy young
ster. ColOred boomers, a pair to match
every tub frock, will be found we'll
worth while for the girl of four to
eight years, says the Washington Star.
The average girl child of more than
eight years old would be inclined to
scorn boomers and prefer rather the
dainty, frilled little white petticoats,
and under four years of age boys and
girls are frequently dressed very much
alike, romperS, except for overgrown
children, being found extremely de-
sirable summer garments for play and
utility wear.
Colored linens, galatea, chambray,
etc., are fabrics employed in the de-
velopment of sumner garments for the
youngsters, and this year the checked

JERSEY SUITS HERE TO STAY
One-Piece Garments of That Material
Have Displaced the Separate
Skirt and Blouse.

In connection with the statement
covered with jersey cloth most of the
time, if fashion and desire continue to
proceed in the direction they are head
ing, it is of interest that one-piece
gowns Of thin wool jersey have almost
superseded the separate skirt of jersey
with a wash blouse.
When the ornate frocks of this ma
terial first appeared, most women
thought they were not as good looking
as those of silk or serge, but a little
experience with them seems to have
chshged their opinion.
They are admirable for all manner
of sport use, because they cling to the
figure and do not pull apart at the
waistline, a defect which all sport low
ers try to overcome. The peplum
blouse with its twisting sash, for this
reason, has taken the place of the
white shirtwaist that has served two
decades Of athletic women.
When we read in the cables from
Paris that this garment has dlSap-
peared as a first fashion, we have our
own opinion that ii will be retained in
this country for years to come on &C
count Of its entire comfort in sports,
says a fashion authority. 1t was not
originated for that purpose in Paris,
and 1t is not easy to tell whether she
took the Oriental shirt or the Ameri-
can MILDLY blouse as her inspiration.
She improved on the latter by adding
the sash TO girdle the hips, and by
that one trick she gave America Il
garment which she was slow 10 ac-
cept, but which she will be equally
SLOW 10 raiinq'Hsh.

The Cost of Character.

Many people have fine dreams of
moral and spiritual beauty which new
er become. anything more than dreams,
because they will not work them out
in pain, struggle and self-restraint.
Here is an incident from q private let
ter.
Zone day, lately, one of my little
music pupils, an old-fashiOned sweet,
little girl, about nine years old, was
playing scales and octaves, when she
turned to me and said: oh, Miss Ora
ham, my hands are tired!'
81 said: Never mind, Norma
just try TO play them once or twice
more. The longer you practice them,
that after q while, you will not feel
1t at ALL
"She turned the gentle little face
YEARLY to me and said: Miss Ora
ham, it seems as II everything that
strengthens hurts
II gave her something else, but ]
thought: Yes, my dear little girl, ev-
erything that strengthens hurtsw
The child was right. 1t is true In
music; it is true in all art; it is true
in the making of character; every
thing that strengthens hurts, costs
pain and self-denial We must die to
live. We must cruelty the flesh that
we may find spiritual gains.-J. r
Miller.

USED IN LONG COATS
Most Favored Fabric for the Summer
Season-Contrasting Colors in
Full-Length Garments.

Long coats of wool jersey in full
length or in seven-eighths length in
two colors are much worn. This is
by all odds the most favored fabric
of the season.
The full length coats generally have
the upper portion in a light shade and
the portion from below the hips to the
hem in a darker tone or in a contrast
ing color.
These coats are usually quite simple
on the style of the chemise dress.
They have belt of the fabric at the
normal waistline.

Tomb of Mohammed Looted.

Intense indignation has been aroused
throughout the Mussulman world by
the sacrilege of the Turkish govern
ment, which seized the jewels and
money which the faithful In the course
of centuries have deposited on the
tomb of Mohammed Among these treas
ures are large number Of precious
stones, including the famous diamond
known as the "Shining Star" which
the Turkish government has carried
away. This stone is valued at more
than one and one-half million dollars.
