LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why Corn is So Painful and
Says Cutting Makes Them Grow.

Press an electric button and you
form contact with live wire
which rings the bell. When your
shoes press against your corn 1t
pushes Its sharp roots down upon a
sensitive nerve and you get shock
OF pain.
Instead Of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
a quarter Of an ounce Of freezone.
This will cost very little, but Is suff1-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. "A few
drops applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn stops the soreness in
stantly, and soon the corn shrivels
up so 1t lifts right out, root and all,
without pain. This drug freeZone Is
harmless and never infames or even
irritates the surrounding skin.-Adv.

denly was drawn into the whirl.
Germans Surrendered in Body.
South Of Achiet-le-Grand the Brit
fsh did not start to-day's operations
SO early as farther north. The New
Healanders here stopped work to let
q German counter attack develop.
They "played dead until the ad-
vancing enemy infantry was almost
on top of them. Then they put down
a heavy machine gun barrage just at
the r>ar of the Germans, who sur
rendered in body rather than be
killed in their tracks. This happened
just north Of Miraumont. Many of
the prisoners were non-commissioned
officers. and all Of them appeared to
he glad that they had beer captured.

prisoners expressed the greatest con-
tempt for their allies as soldiers. say
ing they were no good whatever.
Slightly to the south the British
have crossed the Ancre river and
started back in the general direction
Of Courcellette. Already they are
reported to be southeast of Grand
court. This move menaces from the
rear the German stronghold at
Thiepval which is an old fortress.
Many Prisoners Taken by French.
Paris, Aug. 23.-Between the Disc
and the Aisne during the advance of
Wednesday and Thursday Gen. Man
gins army took 5000 prisoners, ac-
cording to advices reaching here
The allies are reaping the fruits OF
the victories Of July Is and August
8. in the present critical situation in
which the German command finds
itself.
The German retirement around
Noyon, it Is held here, Is the logical
consequence Of those victories. The
French and British are pressing the
enemy so close that he is obliged to
throw in his best troops to save HIM
self from disaster In the north
and in the south the allies are DASH
ing upon the Germans and swapping
up prisoners and booty.
Gen. Mangin's pressure between
August IS and 20 resulted in the
capture Of more than 10000 prison
ers, and on the 22d he forced the
enemy to beyond the Ailette. The
army Of Gen. Won Eben is in such a
predicament, it Is believed, that he Is
bound to make formidable counter
attack to halt Gen. Mangin or be
obliged to withdraw from the Aisne
and Vesle to the Chemin des Danes.
If the enemy does not counter attack
along the Ailette it probably viii
mean that Gen. Won Eben is in a sad
der plight than is thought here.
In the north the British third army
has pushed the Germans so danger
ously near Bapaume that the German
command has found it necessary to
counter attack in force. The loss Of
Bapaume in the present circum-
stances would amount to a disaster,
according to opinion here.
