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

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lievcd 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 call
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
it at any wholesale drug house for YOU,

FUNDS REFUSED.
FOR FOOD PROBE
House Committee WithhoIds
100000 Asked for Cost Of
Living Inquiry.

The Federal Trade Commission oc-
cupies today the uncomfortable po-
sition of having been ordered by the
President to conduct an investigation
into the high cost of living and the
foodstuffs situation-onIy to have the
House Appropriations Committee re-
fuse the money with which to conduct
the inquiry.
In response to a request from the
President, who told the commission to
proceed with its investigation, the
commission informed the President
and Congress that 1t would require
$400,0 900. to make the probe. Now
comes the House committee on APP
propriatiops, which not only refuses
to give the commission the S400,0
sought, but withholds any appropri-
alton whatsoever.
After the sundry civil bill was re-
ported to the House yesterday after
noon it developed that there was no
appropriation iu that measure for the
high cost OF living inquiry. 1t also
developed the Appropriations Commit
tee didn't intend to include such an
item in any bill. and there had been
a lively little skirmish behind the
closed doors OF the committee room
over the Investigation ordered by the
President. The upshot of this wrangie
was that the committee voted de-
cisively not to appropriate for the
Presidents inquiry.
Congressman Borland. q member of
the House committee. offered q motion
10 authorize the desired amount. Mr..
Borland is somewhat interested in the
proposed inquiry. inasmuch as he Is
the author of q resolution to investi-
gate the meat supply Of the nation
and the beef trust" Naturally the
meat supply would be embraced IN
any general investigation Of the ma
tion's food problem.
The committee turned Mr.. Borland
down by a substantial majority in
executive session. Then Mr.. Borland
sought an appropriation for half the
amount, or 100000. Even this was
refused.
Mr.. Borland said today he would
take the fight to the floor and offer an
covering the cost Of the
inquiry.

Alkali In Soap
Bad for the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair look
ing its best Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp. makes
the hair brittle. and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary muIsified cOcoanut oil
(Which is pure and Ereaseless). and
Is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply mOisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance OF rich. creamy lather,
which rinses out easily. removing
every particle of dust. dirt. dandruff.
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and il leaves the
scalp soft. and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy. and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap. and
few ounces win supply every mem

Gypsy Smith, Jr., Will Deliver
Sermon on "0bedience" at
Tabernacle Tonight.
HAS 500 CONVERTS so FAR
Evangelist Hopes to Win Many
Almost Persuaded" During
His Last Week.

Gypsy Smith, jr., will launch his
final drive against Satan in Washing
ton tonight.
At 7:30 o'clock he will deliver a SER
mon on obedience" founded on the
story of King Saul in the Old Testa-
ment, who was dissuaded by the
people from obeying the command
given him by the Lord. The applica-
tion the evangelist makes of this
story is that men and women fail to
obey the Lord because of what the
people say"
Including the one at tonight's serv-
ices, the evangelist will deliver but
six more sermons in the National
Capital before bringing his campaign
to an end.
Last Sermon Sunday Night.
His final sermon will be preached
Sunday night, at which time a free
will offering will be taken. Thus far
the evangelist has received no re-
muneration for his services here.
Following the close of his cam
paign in Washington he will rest a
week and then go to Pensacola, Fla,
where he is scheduled to conduct SER
vices for a month.
The evangelist will extend invita-
tions to converts tonight and every
night this week. Thus far he has 500
converts to his credit. 1t is believed
that the power and appeal of the spe-
cially selected sermons this week will
result in an equal number.
Many "AImOst Persuaded,
Gypsy Smith. jr., said today he had
observed in the large congregations
which have attended his services dur
ing the past three weeks "a great
number OF men and women who are
almost persuaded"
II shall drive home the message of
the Lord to these and other hesitant
souls" said the evangelist. They
have reached the brink of a decision
to lead a Christian life and publicly
proclaim their resolutions to conse-
crate their lives to the service of the
Master. With Gods help 1 shall en-
deavor during this final week in
Washington TO flood their souls with
the light of the word and the joy of
service to Him and trust fervently
that their hearts will be receptive"
Returns From Charlottesville.
Mr.. Smith said that while he re-
garded his campaign here thus far as
a most pronounced success, he hoped
for as good results for the Lord dur
ing the soming week as during the
first three weeks. He believes there
was and still is need here for the
kind of services and sermons he has
conducted and delivered, and will be
disappointed unless the list of con-
Verts is materially increased.
The evangelist today returned from
Charlottesville, Va, where he was the
guest of honor at banquet given by
church workers and Y. NJ. c. A Of
ficials. He conducted a campaign in
Charlottesville about a year ago, and
every time he gets within a days
travel of the town he is importuned to
pay a visit there.
The executive committee which ar
ranged the campaign here is still
confronted with a financial problem.
The cost of the tabernacle and other
things incident to the revival was
5000. Thus far only $4,000 has been
contributed by the congregations at
the three weeks services.
