STOP A MOMENT!
LISTEN TO THIS
Cincinnati Man Tells How to
Lift Off Any Corn With
out Hurting One Bit.

You reckless men and women
who are pestered with corns and
who have at least once a week
invited an awful death from lock-
jaw or blood poison are now told
by a Cincinnati authority to use
drug called freezone, which the
moment a few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts out with the
fingers.
1t is a sticky substance which
dries the moment it is applied and
is said to simply shrivel the corn
without inflaming or even irritat-
ing the surrounding tissue or skin.
1t is claimed that quarter of an
ounce of freezone will cost very
little at any of the drug stores,
but is sufficient to rid ones feet
of every hard or soft corn or cal
lus.
You are further warned that
editing at a corn is a suicidal
habit-Ady E,s,

Emma is poor, she said. She simply
can't stand being teased.
Nevertheless the court told her 10

REV. JOHN BIRRELL, Pastor.

Mrs Campbell and son, Philip, came
down from Ladysmith last Saturday
and spent the week end at the Bien
home-Miss Janette Stewart came
down from her school near Ladysmith
last Thursday to bid adieu to her sis
ter, Miss Violet Stewart, who left for
Elgin, North Dakota, that day, and to
spend the weekend at home.-Quite a
little excitement was caused in our
town last Monday evening when
telephone message was received from
Ladysmith asking Marshal Campbell
deputize number of men and be on
the lookout for a man, supposed to be
one of the escaped belligerents from
Owen. The invading warrior was said
to be moving down the 500 Line track.
Bruce would resent being captured by
a German army, much more by a lone
German warrior so the warning was
needed and guards were placed at both
the wagon and railroad bridge.-The
Rusk County Fair held at Ladysmith
last week was a success. A large dele
cation of Bruce people were in attend
ance throughout, particularly on
Wednesday. The Bruce ball team
played Hawkins that day and the
Bruce band furnished the music for the
day. The boys lost out in the ball
game. Though minus many of its
members, the band gave splendid salts
faction. Mrs. S. M. HeacoX, as usual,
carried off large part of the pre-
miums in the poultry diyision-$225 so.
The Bruce Potato Growers Association,
rs well as individual exhibitors whose
names we did not learn, were prize
winners in the vegetable exhibit. The
livestock exhibit was good, but de
cidedly too small to do justice to the
livestock industry of the county. 1t
takes time to develop a good County
Fair. Rusk county is young and con-
ditions are unusual this year, SO the
results were much better than could
have been eXpected.-Mr and Mrs. S.
Antonoff and Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben
Antonoff, of Ladysmith, spent Sunday
and Monday with friends at Mime
apolis. III. Risilik came up from Camp
Grant to spend Sunday at the S. Anton
off home, unaware of their absence, and
had to return to camp Monday.
