LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why A Corn Is So Painful And
Says Cutting Makes
Them Grow.

Press an electric button and you
form contact with a live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes its sharp
roots down upon 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 sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. A few drops
applied directly upon tender, ach.
ing corn stops the soreness instantly,
and soon the corn shriyels up SO it
lifts rigth out. root and all, without
pain. This drug freezone is harmless
and never infames or even irritates
the surrounding skin.-{Advt) 2

HERALD GETS BIG :. :
FOREIGN ADVERTISING
CONTRACT FOR 10000 INCHES OR
MoRE-LARGEsT FOREIGN Or
DER ON RECORD HERE.

That the value of advertising in the
Columbia Daily Herald is known and
appreciated by experts has been dem
onstrated many times but never in a
more positive manner than when the
billiard Jacobs Advertising Agency Of
Atlanta, Ca, placed 10000 inch con-
tract with The Herald for the Gallo
tabs Co. This contract has become eff
fective and provides for the use of
more space than the minimum stated.
No special rate concession was made,
as that would be contrary to the bust
ness policy of this paper, but the con-
tract was accepted at the minimum
card rate for 1000 inches or more.
The billiard Jacobs agency is one
OF the most substantial and reliable
in America. 1t deals only with papers
that can prove their pulling power as
advertising mediums. The Calotabs
Co. is placing on the local market
through Columbia drug stores their
ready known as "Calotabs," and the
advertising in The Herald is expected
to popularize it.
Since the installation Of new
press and other material and the use
of Geographic news service by The
Herald the advertising business has
grown along with the circulation.
Both foreign and local advertising
business has increased. The contract
just closed with the billiard Jacobs
agency is the largest foreign contract
crer made with daily newspaper
outside Of Nashville in Middle Ten
nessee and the largest ever made with
Columbia newspaper
