 Your high heels have put corns on your toes and calluses on your feet, but why care now?
 A genius in Cincinnati discovered a magic ether compound and named it freezone. A quarter ounce of this freezene can now be had at any drug store for few cents. Apply a few drops on your tender, aching corn OF callus. Instantly the soreness disap- pears and shortly you will find the corn or callus so shriveled and loose that you lift it off with your fingers. Just think! You get rid of a hard corn, soft corn or a corn between the toes, as well as hardened calluses, for a few cents and without suffering one particle, without the slightest irrita- tion of the surrounding skin. Just a touch of this marvellous freezone on 8 sore, troublesome corn gives instant relief

SHOULD PUSH HOME
 GARDENS TO LIMIT Robert Seoviile Receives Appeal From Federal Food Administrator,

Robert Scoville, federal food admin istrator for Connecticut, has received a letter from Herbert Hoover. the fed eral food administrator urging that home gardens be pushed to the limit this year, and that more attention be paid to such staples as potatoes and beans, rather than too many perish ables. The railroad congestion, he said, would have been far more seri- ous had it not been for the household stores that were laid by last summer tribution somewhat.
 Administrator Hoovers letter fol- lows:
 Washington. D. e.. Feb. 15, 1s1S MT. Robert Scoville. Federal Food Ad-
 ministrator, Hartford. Conn.
 Dear Mir Scoville:-The extensive use of suburban gardens for planting last year proved of extreme import ance in increasing the national food supply
 Even with the car shortage which has developed during the last three months and the total inability to move the large reserves of potatoes and beans, we have been saved from posi- tive shortages throughout the country largely by virtue of the accumulated household stores which are the results of home endeavor.
 The food situation of the world must steadily degenerate as long as the wal lasts. It i,s therefore, of prime i'm portance to add every item to the to- tai production. Furthermore ouN over taxed railways. which must continri to be overtaxed during the whole course of the war. will be greatly re- lieved if We have a larger area of gar dens planted than last season. It seems to me that the experience of last season indicates that, aside from a moderate planting of perish able vegetables for immediate use, tht substantial part of such gardens should be devoted to potatoes and beans Those two commodities can be raised in practically all sections of the Unit. ed States, are of the utmost valu, from a food point of view, and have the great advantage that they can bt preserved in the household withou artificial Urea bAeu.
