YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug store
man, "Give me quarter Of an ounce
OF freezone." This will cost very little,
but Is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn should relieve
the soreness instantly, and soon the
entire corn, root and all, can be lifted
out with the fingers without pain.
This new way to rid ones feet OF
corns was introduced by Cincin-
natl man, who says that while freez-
one is sticky, 1t dries in a moment, and
simply shrivels up the corn without
infiaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns'
but cut this out and make him try 1t.

STUCK UMBRELLA
IN SLOT MACHINE
Woman Created Amusement on Pay-as-
You Enter Trolley Car-Didn't
Understand Conductor.

A decidedly amusing incident, which
happened on the local trolley line, on
one of the new pay you renter > cars,
is told as follows A young woman, ap-
parently taking her first ride on said
ears, stepped on board carrying a drip
ping umbrella, as it was raining hard.
She Immediately fastened to procure a
seat without stopping to drop her fare
into the slot machine. After she had
become seated the conductor looked
back into the car and pointed to the
slot machine, indicating to her that she
had not paid her fare. The young wom-
an promptly arose from her seat, went
to the front of the ear and deposited
her umbrella in the machine. There
were only few passengers on the cal
at the time, but it is needless to say
that they were convulsed with laughter
