Cincinnati man tells how to shriye]
up corns so they
lift out.

Ouch This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town If
people troubled with eorns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn stops soreness
at once, and soon the corn dries up
and lifts right out without pain.
he says freezone is sticky sub
stance which dries Immediately and
never lnfiames or even irritates the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
of an ounce, which will cost very little
at any drug store, is said to be sufli-
Gent to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from one s feet. Millions
OF American women will welcome this
announcement since the Inauguration
OF the high heels.-Adv.

Recently Smith and Jones met in a

turned to a comparison of domestic

was butter, and finally millinery came

EXPECT ANOTHER
GERMAN DRIVE
ALLIED FORCES PREPARING FOR
MOST DESPERATE ATTACKS
OF THE WORLD WAR.
French American and British Troops
Have Been Busy the Past Week
In Driving Enemy Baek.--ltRllann
0olna Forward.

London.-It Is assumed By expert
military observers that the Germans
are about ready to being another drive,
the most desperate OF the war. What.
ever Its magnitude the drive Is apt to
be the decisive action OF the war.
Whether IL be on a wider front than
the offensive begun May 81. when the
enemy, all things considered, made his
most powerful effort OF the year. or
whether II be Of more limited proper
tions. the results should determine
which way the tide Is turning.
The landing OF 100000 Americans
In France has given the allies more
confidence than they have had At any
time since last March. Although th@re
are only 100000 of our men holding
sectors of the battle front our reserves
will give the allies numerical superb
orIty In the next battle. II Is believed.
The allies have attempted to disar
range the enemy's plans by a process
Of "nIbblinR." In reality the nibhlss
have been rather large bites. Their
object has been to ascertain where the
enemy Is gathering his forces. to Sc
cure jumping of places" for the next
fights and generally to weaken the
enemy.
In this task French. American and
British troops have been engaged.
Southwest of Scissors the French made
several attacks, gaining ground each
time and taking hundreds Of prisoners.
The most prstentious action of the
past week was carried out by the Aus
tralians, assisted by some companies
of Americans at lie Hainel. 1t was
In the nature of a surprise attnek.
Many tanks had been assembled back
of the lines and had been sent forward
at night. Instead of preparing the
way with artillery fire OF long dutn-
ton, the Australians opened fire just
two minutes before the infantry event
| over the top" The bombardment from
hundreds of guns was fast and furious
but the main feature of II was a bar
rage of smoke shells Behind the
clouds Of smoke the tanks and infan-
| try pressed on. The Germans kept up
q steady machine gun FIRE. but were
| shooting at random because they could
discern no targets. Finally, when the
targets appeared, the Germans were
dismayed to find that they were op.
posed by land warships of steel. 1t
was hopeless to combat them with
the machine gun and they retreated
hastily.
IN Italy the Roman soldiers. con
tinued their cleaning up" process. In
the mountain region they recaptured
Monte di yalbeUa and the Col del
Rsso after fierce fighting and took sew
eral thousand prisoners. After re-
storing their positions in this region
they attacked eastward thereof IN the
Grappa region, gained ground and
took many prisoners.
