GIRLS! ITS YOUR STEP THAT
ATTRACTS
Says women pay too much heed t
their face instead of
their corns.

i Watch your step! A brisk, livel!
step is what charms more than =;
lovely skin, but your high heels have
caused corns and you limp little
That's bad, girls, and you know it
Corns destroy beauty and grace, be
sides corns are very easy to remove
Rid your feet Of every corn by
asking at any drug store for a quar-
ter of an ounce Of freezone. Thi.
will cost little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or cal
lus from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
tender, touchy corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts right out without
pain.
This freezone is a gummy SUBJ
STRANGE which dries instantly and
simply shrivels up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
'ounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornless feet create a youthful step
which enhances her attractiveness.

Cents to Remove Tan, Freckles,
Sallowness

Your grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will sup
ply you with three ounces of orchard
white for a few cents. Squeeze the
juice of two fresh lemons into a bot
tie, then put in the orchard white
and shake well. This makes quarter
pint of the very best lemon skin
whitener and complexion beautiier
known. Massage this fragrant, creamy
lotion daily into the face, neck, arms
and hands and just see how freckles,
tan, sallowness, redness and rough
ness disappear and how smooth, soft
and clear the skin becomes. Yes! 1t
is harmless, and the beautiful results
will surprise you.

CULTVATING A TASTE FOR
THRIFT.

The amount of money you earn
makes no difference-it is the amount
you save that counts The man who
makes $400 a month is no better off
than the man who earns only 800,
unless he saves it and puts it TO a
good use.
One of the most difficult things
about success is learning to save sys-
tematically. Haphazard saving, while
much better than no saving at all,
does not produce results.
In a time like the present, saving
means more than it ever has before.
Too. in the present age, it is the finger
pointing TO success.
The smallest form of saving is the
best In fact, none of it is to be
despsed. For instance. a writer in a
current magazine points out that even
the lowly quarter amounts to S396.42
If deposited in the bank regularly once
a year for twenty years!
