DESERVES A GOLD
MEDAL FOR THIS
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up any corn or callus SO it
lifts right off.

You corn pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority, be-
cause few drops of freezone applied
directly on tender, aching corn
stops soreness at once and sosn the
corn loosens so it can be lifted out,
root and all, without a pit Of pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store,
but is sufficient to take off every hard
or soft corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
rot to inflame or even irritate the
surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels
she will be glad to know of this.

SOME EXCELLENT PLUMS.

In the Journal office window this
week was displayed a branch from
an eighteen months old tree bearing
2S large luscious plums. The sam
pie was from Mr.. L. 7. Davis orchard
in north Welsh. They are of the Ex-
celsior variety and are almost equal
to the famous California plums.
From nine trees of the same age
as the one mentioned above Mr.. Davis
has harvested 1O6 gallons of fruit and
the trees still carry considerable load.
