No Camouflage
 In This Story Says corns stop hurting, then lift. right off without
 one bit of pain

Hospital records show that every time you cut corn you invite lockjaw or blood poison, which is needless, says a Cincinnati authority, who tells you that a quarter ounce of a drug called freezone costs but a few cents at any drug store but is sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus without even one little twinge of pain.
 You simply apply few drops of this freezone on. a tender, aching corn and the soreness is instantly relieved. Shortly the entire corn can be lifted out, root and all, with your fingers
 This drug is sticky but dries at once and is claimed to just shrivel up any corn without infaming or even irri- tattng the surrounding tissue or skin.
 If your wife wears high heels she will be glad to know of this.

.OLD-T|MER PASSES
ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN AND
MOST POPULAR CHARACTERS
IN AMERICA CONDEMNED.

Last Thursday was the occasion for
grief in many eyes as one of our
leading characters was done to death
in a most horrible manner His death
ad been anticipated for some time
and in fact was not unexpected. But
nevertheless the official action end
ing his life in these United States

JOHN BARLEYCORN.
John went on trial for his life some
time ago but it took until Thursday
when President Wilson signed the
wartime prohibition bill to write his
death warrant. In effect the bill
stops all sales of distilled, malt and
vinous liquors June Both, 1919 and
thereafter during the war and demo-
bilization. Manufacture of distilled
spirits now is prohibited under the
food control law, which will expire
with the world peace treaty.
Regarding malt and vinous bever-
ages, the law provides that their man
ufacture shall cease May 1, 1919, and
their sale for beverage purposes July
l. Manufacture for export is not pro-

during the war and rehabilitation
are barred
The prohibition bill is in the form
of a rider on the emergency appropri-
alton measure providing about $12,-
100000 for stimulating agricultural
production.
Effect of the legislation is the sub
Ject OF war dispute, which the courts
will have to settle. The bill would
make prohibition after June 30, 1919,
until the conclusion of the present
war and thereafter until the termin-
alton of disqualification, the date of
which shall be determined by the
president.
Senator Sheppard of Texas, author
of the prohibition features, and other
dry champions insist that prohibition
will go into effect on the date fixed
to continue until rehabilitation is
completed, regardless of when peace
is proclaimed. Opponents of the bill
declare that if peace is declared be-
fore July l, the bill cannot be oper-
ative, even though rehabilitation will
be in progress thereafter.
The prohibition legislation has i'm
portant bearing upon the pending war
revenue bill, whose authors estimate
an annual revenue loss of more than
$1,000, 100000 to the government from
prohibition, including cessation of
beer and wine manufacture, ordered
December by the food administra-
ton.

WHAT ABOUT THIS CURE?
A Very Simple Thing If 1t WIN Do
The Business.

A remedy for pneumonia has been
sent out from the office of the sur
geon general of the Unite States. at
Washington, d. c., which is said by
the government authorities to be an
absolute cure.
The formula has been sent to all
hospitals, to military camps and to all
government officers. Tests are de-
clared to have proven it's eff cheney.
The remedy is so simple that all af-
fiicted can use it. Here is what the
government advises:
"Saturate ball of cotton as large
as one-inch marble with spirits of
alcohol. Add three drops of chloro-
form to each ball of cotton. Place it
between the patients teeth. Let pa
tient inhale the fumes for Is minutes
then rest Is minutes or longer, if
needed. Then inhale again for Is
minutes, and repeat the operation as
directed 25 times.
1.-THE result will be that the lungs
will expand to their normal condi-
ton. In "a hours the patient will be
out of danger. Change cotton often.
1t ought to be changed twice in Is
minutes. Davenport Democrat.
