more than satisfied with the streak

And st. Louis fans claim the Griffs as

bad. girls. and you know IL, Corns de-
stroy beauty and grace. besides corns
are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet OF every corn by ask
ing at any drug store for a 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
tender. touchy corn relieves the sore
ness and soon the entire corn. root and
all. lifts right out without pain.
This freezone is gummy substance
which dries instantly and simply shriv-
els up the corn without inflaming or
even irritating the surrounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that corn

enhances her attractiveness.
