Like An Electric
 Button On Toes
Tells Why Corn is So Painful and Says Cutting Makes
 Them Grow.

Press an electric button and you form a contact with live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn it pushes it's sharp roots down upon a 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 suffi- cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops applied directly upon tender aching corn stops the soreness m stantly. and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and ail' without pain. This drug freezone IS harmless and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding skin.

sMUTTY WHEAT CAN BE SOLD.

County Food Administrator. Lape Nettleship, of Fayetteville. received the following letter this week from Edwin NJ. Flesh, Agent of the Grain Corporation of The United States Food Administration at St. Louis:
 Your position in regard to SMUT TY WHEAT is exacty right. Wheat IS not unmillable because it is con- taminated with smut
 We are buying loads of it here ev- cry day and if your people will get it together and load it on cars and ship it here we will take it.
 Tn general way it has not been discounted more than 10c from the same quality of wheat without smut contamination.
 DO NOT under any circumstances, permit thte feeding of this grain to live stock or poultry"
 MT. Nettleship says further, that:
 Farmers in Washington County, who have smutty wheat, and who are unable to sell it to the local millers should either sell it to the local buy CTS of wheat or assemble it in cars and ship it to St. Louis to the above address.
 You will note that wheat, even though it is smutty, must not be fed to live stock or poultry"

CALOMEL DYNAMITES A SLUG.
CISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
days work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crash
es into it, causing cramping and
nauses.
If you feel bilious, headachy, cons
tipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable subs
titute for dangerous calomel. Take
spoonful and if it doesn't start
your liver and straighten you up bet
ter and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making you sick, you
just 60 back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or
play. It's harmless, pleasant and
safe to give to children; they like
it. u

ed by the recommendations of May
or Berhman and New Orleans it is
certain that the facts in the case will
be considered by the Shipping
Board.
From the letter of Mr.. Wooten, it
appears that the fact that New Or
leans offered a free site to the gov
ernment had considerable weight
with them. Morgan City and Ber-
wick citizens will probably not let
this phase of the matter pass un-
noticed. With the local realization
of the actual value of a shipyard to
these communities, the free site will
probably be available for the gov
ernment if it be necessary to pro-
vide free or rent-free site for such
operations. The Chamber Of Com
merce will probably call meeting
in the next day or two to consider
this matter of a free site.
Should the government decide to
put in a concrete shipyard in Nor
gan City or Berwick it will mean the
employment Of perhaps $500 to 5000
workmen. The scope of the work,
it seems, will justify united and
determined effort on the part of
every citizen to secure an enterprise.
