DESERVES A GOLD
MEDAL FOR THIS
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up any corn or callus so il
lifts right off.

You corn-pcstcred men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority, be
cause a few drops Of frcczonc APP
piled directly on tender, aching
corn stops soreness at once and soor
the cern looscns so it can be lifted
out, root, and all, without bit of
pain.
A quarter Of an ounce of frcczone
costs very little at any drug store, but
is sufficient TO take off every hard or
soft corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to inflame or even irritate the
surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know Of this. Adv :

TRY IT SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making you
sick and cannot salivate

Starts your liver without making you
sick and cannot salivate
Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed great falling off in the
sale Of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
it perfectly safe and give better re-
Suits" said a prominent local drug
gist Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs but
few cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case Of liver slug
gishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't gripe or cause in
convenience all the next day like vio-
lent calomel. Take a dose Of calo-
mel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
lose a days work! Take Dodson's s
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
Of vigor and ambition. Adv. 8.

Tulsa has an interesting historical
back ground. A corner of the Chero.
kcc, Creek and Usage nations was with.
in few hundred yards of the center
or the business section OF the city.
The Albert Pike highway, and the his
toric Ozark trail cross each other
here. Washington Irving stopped

KEEP ON KNITTING
Wool Shortage Unlikely

Replying to an article by Sam
uel S. Dale in a recent issue of
the Literary Digest in which he
givse reasons why the Red Cross
should no longer encourage knit
ting, the magazine in the issue Of
August 8 gives a compilation of
facts CLEANED from the protests of
Red Cross officials and workers in
all parts of the country. Regard
ing the shortage of wool proof
is advanced to show the mac
curacy of his statements and
the opinion of w. E. Heath, presi-
dent of a large commercial COM
pany in Baltimore is that there
will be surplus of 400 million
pounds over the 1918 require
ments.
A Canadian Sergeant, writing
from a military hospital in Whitby,
Ont, takes exception to the state
ment that hand knitted articles are
very little used in the trenches. He
speaks from an experience Of 25
months in the trenches and says
that, he has worn sweater in
France and Flanders and that

Married SATURDAY.

n MISS 81 Elizabeth Frazer Jones, of

lsle, and 1t. ]. Alexander Crothers
OF Alon, Cecil County, Nd, Della
ware college, 1916, were married
IN Baltimore on August second.
ohly members of the immediate
families were present.
MISS Jones was very popular
li,eilioer OF the first graduating
class at the Women's College. of
wnlch she was president. Lieuten-
ant Crothers is member of the
Sigma Nu fraternity, and when
mere was one of the most popular
men IN college. His record in ath-
ietlcs was a splendid one and dur
ing his senior year he was presi-
aent OF the Student Council. the
hlgnest honor which his fellow
students could confer upon him.
Lieutenant Crothers was form
erly a member of Company E, First
delaware regiment of Newark
serving with his unit for eight
months on the Mexican border. He
was appointed to the First Officers
training Camp at Fort Myer

hand-knitted articles. Factory and
mixed goods he says, are the cause
of many sore feet, so his advice is
to knit and keep knitting.
The Red Cross itself is not yet
ready to make a formal statement
but it's officials are unwilling to see
the women of the country discour-
aged in this line Of war work. They
are not yet sure what the wool
situation will be but in confer
ence with the War Industries
Board it was decided that the Red
Cross would have second chance
to procure wool after the army
and navy requirements have been
met. So the delayed appeal for
women to knit is due to uncer-
tainty as to how much yarn will
be apportioned to them.
They likewise denied that they
have knit article do not wear we'll
and declared that machine knit
socks last only about third as
long as those made by hand. Then
