LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW

You reckless men and women
who are pestered with corns and
who have at least once q week in
vited an awful death from lockiaw
or blood poison are now told by a
Cincinnati authority to use q
drug called freezone, which the
moment a few drops are applied to
any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and
all, lifts out with the fingers.
1t is a sticky ether compound
which dries the moment it is ap-
piled and simply shriveIs the corn
without inflaming or even irritat-
ing the surrounding tissue or skin.
It is claimed that a quarter of an
ounce of freszone will cost very
little at any Of the drug stores, but
Is sufficient to rid ones feet Of
very hard or soft corn or callus.f
You are further warned that
cutting at a corn Is q suicidal
habit.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 1S.-No more

pective governors, Legislators and
constables adorn the telegraph
poles, high board fences and lamp
posts along the streets and high
ways of our fair state, il a bill
introduced in the house today by
G. w. Thomle of Snohomish coun-
ty becomes a law.
No longer will candidates be
compelled to dispense with the
hard earnings of years to see tnat
their portraits and their platforms
of efficiency and economy" are
properly put before the eyes of
voters.
No longer will the weary trav-
eler be enlightened by many-col-
ored signs informing him that
it's go miles to Never-Rip
Tires or "Your credit is good"
Nor will tacks spilled Ivy the
bill posters get in the way of new
auto tires.
Rep. Thomle's bill is calculated
to do away with all these difficul-
ties by prohibiting the posting of
bills of any kind, including politi-
cal, from public highways of the
state.
Altogether now, you candidates,
heae a long sigh.

Keep 1t, handy, Mother! A lit

Ask your druggist for a 50-cent
bottle of California Syrup Of
