Lift Right Of Without
One Bit of Pain.

Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
Jaw or blood poison. which is need
less, says a Cincinnati authority. who
tells you that a quarter ounce of a
drug called freeEone costs but a few
cents at any drug store, but is suffi-
cient to rid ones feet of every hard
or soft corn or callus without even
one little twinge of pain.
You simply apply a few drops of
this freeZone on a tender, aching
corn and the soreness is instantly
relieved Shortly the entire corn can
be lifted out, root and ali, with
your fingers.
This drug is sticky but dri.s at
once and is claimed to just shriveI up
any corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin.

greater feats than have been ac-
complished thus far in this war.
Because the chief attention is CEN
tered on the question Of where Ihe
enemy is going to hit, little thought
has been given to the possibility Of
a drive from this side.
The maximu that the best defence is
a strong offence is worth remember
ing and certainly is not one the en-
emy is likely to forget. When the
big blow falls it is probable the whole
front will spring into activity and an
enemy success at one point might
very easily find him suffering a re-
verse at another.
The Reichstag reassembles Febru-
ary g and there will be a lively poll
tical campaign launched at that time.
II the Militarists have meanwhile
begun the military campaign their
political opponents will be placed at
a disadvantage.
But the German militarists worry
less today about their political en-
emies than they do about the weather.
If the weather continues fine the odds
favor an early resumption OF the fight
ing on the greatest scale Of the war.
