WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer terribly with corns because Of
high heels, but why care now,

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then
proceed to trim these pests, seeking
relief, but they hardly realize the
terrible danger from infection, saws
a Cincinnati authority.
COrns can easily be lifted out
with the fingers if you will get from
any drug store a quarter of an ounce
of a drug called freezone. This is
sufficient to remove every hard or
soft corn or callus from ones feet.
You simply apply few drops d.
rectly upon the tender, aching corn
or callus. The soreness is relieved
at once and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts out without
one particle of pain.
This freezone is sticky sub
stance which dries in a moment. It
just shrivels up the corn without in.
flaming or even irritating the sur,
rounding tissue or skin. Tell yeur
wife about this.-AdY.

bandages.
The Research Club, which met in

100 abdominal bandages, stitched
tapes on 7 triangular bandages and

1t is gratifying to see that the
interest in knitting does not lag, but
rather is growing. This is especially
so in the making of sweaters and no
doubt there will be need for all we
can send, with so many more men
being called all the time; and there
will be an even greater need for
socks, so will every one who possibly
can help us out in this line, that we
may do our share in supplying this
great need.
Please see that the foot measures
ALL of II inches required-a little
more is not objected to, so let us go
a little lover the top" in this mat
ter, rather than fall short in the
least.

SURPRISE For THE BOYS.

Last Friday was one Of the happi-
est school days of the yea for the
boys of the eighth an nj&.h grades
who were entertained 81 the Domes-
tie Science girls of the same grades
The attractive decorations Of nastur-
tiums and sweet peas did not escape
the discerning eyes of the boys and
they were pleased by the patriotic
music, but "the way to mans
heart" was of far more moment to
them for there was general approba-
ten when the girls served sherbet
and gold and angel food cake of their
own making. Some boys even wish
ed to wash dishes to see if there was
not another crumb.

Proper Food for Weak Stomaehs,

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep
their bowels regular. When they
become constipated or when they
feel dull and stupid after eating,
they should take Chamberlain's Tab
lets to strengthen the stomach and
move the bowels. They are easy to
take and pleasant in effect.-AdV'
