Season of Politics Opens

Elsewhere in this issue appear the
Primary ballots which will be furnish
ed the Republican and Democratic
voters for use at the several polling
places throughout the county, next
Monday. All should study them and
become familiar with their use before
going to the polls. In this issue also
appears very much material regard
ing the qualifications of candidates
for county Offices. A study OF the
claims and qualifications thus present
ed will also aid the voters to some
extent in making up their minds as to
whom they wish to support.
The responsibilities OF citizenship
should not be lightly considered. OF
the two election days, Monday next
and the one which occurs in Septem-
Der, the first is by far the more i'm
portant.

GIRLS! IT'S YOUR
STEP TIM ArrRAcrs'
Says women pay too much heed to
their face instead OF
their cOrns

Watch your step! brisk, lively
step is what charms more than love-
ly skin, but your high heels have caus-
ed corns and you limp little. That's
bad girls, and you know it. Corns
destroy beauty and grace, besides
corns are very easy to remove
Rid your feet of every corn by ask
ing at any drug store for quarter of
an ounce of freezone. This will cost
little but is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from ones
feet
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, touchy corn relieves the sore
ness and soon the entire corn root and
all, lifts right out without pain.
This frezone is gummy substance
which dries instantly and simply shri-
wells up the corn without infiaming or
even irritating the surrounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that corn
less feet. create youthful step which
enhances her attractiveness.
