so EASY! LIKE
 ROLLING OFF LOG Sore, touchy corns stop hurt. ing, then lift right out
 with fingers

You corn -pestered men and women that nearly killed you before. says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn stops soreness at once and soon the corn loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 A quarter ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This skould be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to inflame or even irritate the surround ing tissue or skin. After you lift away the troublesome corn or callus the skin underneath is as pink, firm and healthy as the palm of your hand.

MISS MILLER MARRIED.

Dan Cupid has placed his elusive
touch upon another professional art
lists career, and brought to a sudden
terminus for a time at least the con-
cert engagements of the popular
young singer who was once Christine
Miller, and whose charming person
atty made as many friends as did
the melodious power of her beauti-
full voice. Upon her appearance in
Mankato during the normal school
entertainment course Miss Miller was
given an ovation, and her concert
was undoubtedly the favorite of the
entire course. Patrons of the normal
school entertainments looked for
ward with pleasure to hearing Miss
Miller again this season, and the an
nouncement that she had laryngitis
and was obliged to cancel her en-
gagements caused great disappoint-
ment. The laryngitis story has
proved one of the airy fabrications
of Cupid. Miss Miller was married
on Monday of last week to Dan M.
