Cincinnati man discovers drug that

Good news spreads rapidly and

a Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn SO 1t lifts out with the
fingers
A quarter Of an ounce costs very
little at any store which handles drugs
but this is said to be sufficient TO rid
ones fet OF every hard or soft corn or
caIlus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender. aching corn or toughened- cal
lus and instantly the soreness is re-
lieved, and soon the corn or callus is so
shriveled that II lifts out without pain.
II is a sticky substance which dries
when applied and never inflames or ev-

ands OF deaths annually from lockjaw

Prune Situation
Still Up In The Air
Say Those Interested

The prune situation is still up in tho
air and according to some of the views
expressed by prune men in the city, it
seems as if the federal food admins
tration was trying to make it especial.
ly hard for prune men in the Willamette
valley. m
After taking several weeks to figure
the loss of prunes in California the
food administration finally permitted
the packers to ship 80 sizes and larger,
and also 80 sizes and smaller. For this
prune district, the order was more OF a
joke than a business proposition, as
there is scarcely any prunes of this size
on the market. But the order was OF
benefit to the Clarke county prune
growers, as their sizes run extra large
this year.
Then few days ago the food admin
istration issued an order to one of its
men in Portland to come to Salem and
arrange a system for the inspection of
prunes to be shipped to foreign coun
tries. No prunes are to be shipped until
inspected and at a meeting held last ev
ening at the Commercial club of several
men interested in the prune situation,
it was found impossible to arrange for
the inspection as provided for by the
food administration.

School Districts
Must Pay For The Flag

Any school district that does not fly
the national emblem upon or near the
school house in the district is violating
the state law. There are few rural
school districts that have failed, either
through lack of patriotism or ignorance
of the law to fly the American flag
The Fern Ridge district east of the city
has no fltg flying nor has the Silver
Creek Falls district so far displayed the
National emblem. The school boards that
have not as yet provided flags do not
comply with the law. The office Of the
county superintendent of schools will
buy for these districts and charge it
against them. The state law reads:
"The boards of directors in the several
school districts Of this state shall pro-
cure a United States flag of suitable
size and shall cause said flag to be dis
played upon or near the public school
building during school hours, except in
unsuitable weather, andat such other
times as the boards may deem proper. !"
