Cincinnati Man Discovers Drug that

Good news spreads rapidly, and
druggists here are kept busy dispens-
ing freezone, the recent discovery of
Cincinnati man. which Is said to
loosen any corn so it lifts out with
tho fingers.
quarter OF an ounce costs very
httle at any store which handles
drugs, but this is said to be sufficient
to rid ones feet OF every hard or soft
corn or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn or toughened
callus, and instantly the soreness Is
relieved, and soon the corn or callus
is so shriveled that II lifts ont with
out pain 1t is a sticky substance,
which dries when applied, and never
intlamcs or even irritates tho sur

This discovery will prevent thou

AMERICANS FIGHT IN SIGHT
or Famous Sctlnn-In Plain View OF
Clty's Buildings.

With the American Forces on the
Sedan Front, Nov. 6.-American
forces this afternoon we're fighting
within sight OF Sedan, famous for
tho great battle fought in the Franco
German war in 1870.
From tho hills In the region of
Chemery and Mais0ncelle. where the
Americans, according to last ac-
counts, were advancing despite stub
born resistance, the buildings Of Sc
dan are in plain view, being about
six miles away.
American troops continued their
advance to-day between the Meuse
and the Bar, moving forward at ono
place more than three miles.
On the west bank Of the Meusc the
Germans have been driven entirely
from the Bois dc lIospice. two miles
north Of Beaumont.
Along the heights Of the Meuse in
the region OF Sassey and between
Milly and Dun tho Americans made
progress. despite heavy machine gun
and artillery resistance on the part
OF the Germans.
icnr-Guard Actions
The Germans continue their rear
guard actions on the rugged hills
and wooded districts east of the
Meuse. against which tho Americans
are advancing steadily.
Tho village of Beaumont, where
there arc more than 400 French
civilians, is the particular target of
tho Germans. All last night they
dcluged Beaumont with poison gas.
Another formidable enemy defense
line, on which the Germans planned
to make a stand, was smashed by the
Americans late Tuesday, when they
captured the town Of lie Tame, In
the bend OF the Meusc south of
MouZon. From LeTanne the line
extends along the Meuse through
Poully and Inor and eastward
This line was part of tho new de-
lenses along the Meuse from Stenay
northward to Sedan. An elabora to
trench system recently had been
completed. along with numerous
wire entanglements, concrete dugouts
and miles Of concrete emplacements
fer heavy machine guns. In some
places the emplacements were only
Is yards apart.
Germans FEELING Trees.
In their retreat east Of the Meuse
the Germans, according to reports
reaching American headquarters. are
destroying property and cutting down
trees along the roadways. American
aviators reported to-day that the
highway from Stenay northward to
Clizy-sur-Chiers is blocked every few
yards by trees across the road The
destruction begins Just beyond Ste
nay and extends northeast and north
from one to three miles.
AS an indication Of the plight Of
the retreating Germans it Is known
that on the entire western front the
enemy has in reserve only one di-
vision, which has been out Of the
battle one month, and four divisions
which have been resting from two to
four weeks. Two Of the divisions are
east Of the Meuse.
The Germans, 1t Is believed, have
used all their reserves on the front
opposite the Americans, the last
enemy division in reserve on this
sector having been thrown back in
the desperate effort to stem the Am
er!can advance.

THOMAS j. HOPKINS DEAD.
Passed Away at Home of Parents in
Seneca Tuesday.
(Farm and Factory, Nov. IT,

(Farm and Factory, Nov. IT,
Thomas ]. Hopkins, third son of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. n. Hopkins, died at
the home Of his parents in Seneca
Tuesday afternoon at los o'clock.
He suffered from a complication of
diseases resulting from nervous
breakdown.
Il. J. served at the printers trade,
working last on the Greenville News.
There Is now d great scarity of help,
and MIR. Hopkins, in efforts to serve
his employers, worked seven nights
each week as a linotype operator
too much for any mainland his
health became broken and bad. He
was forced to leave his machine, and
came to Seneca In the hope Of recu-
perating. His physical strength, how
ever, was too near exhausted, and
after having been confined to his
room for only few days, during
which time he suffered greatly, he
died. In newspaper parlance thirty"
has sounded for clean and inde-
fatigable worker, and the foreman in
the big Office has the proof Of life
filled with service and profit to his
fellowman.
MIR Hopkins was born February .
1885, and was, therefore, 33 years,
nine months and four days old. He
died in the zenith Of life. He never
married. Besides his parents he is
survived by three brothers, Fl. G..
Hopkins, Of Lulu, Ga; Fl. J. Hop
kins. Of Greenville, and Fred Hopkins
Of the American EXpeditionary For
cos; and four sisters, Mrs. John Cat
lett. Of Anderson; Misses Bessie, AL
ice and Martha. One brother, Joe.
preceded him to the grave several
years.
Mr.. Hopkins. we believe, never
connected himself with a church. His
rule Of life was to do unto others as
he would be done by, and with his
comrades his word was as good as his
bond. He was member Of the In
ternational Typographical Union and
the Woodmen Of the World.
Funeral services were held We'd
nesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins
and interment followed in Mountain
View cemetery, the floral tributes
from friends and admirers being
numerous and beautiful.

UGH! CALOAIEL MAKES
. YOU DEATHIIY SICK.
Stop Using Dangerous Drug Before
1t Salivates You!-It
Is Horrible!

You're bilious, sluggish, consti-
pated, and believe you need vile,
dangerous calomel to start your liver
and clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a bottle OF Dodson s
Liver Tone and take a spoonful to-
night. If it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you right up better
than calomel, and without gripping or
making you sick, ! want you to go
back to the store and get your money.
Take calomel to-day and to-mor-
row you will feel weak and sick and
nauseated. Don't lose days work.
Take a spoonful OF harmless, vege-
table Dodsons Liver Tone tonight
and wake up feeling great. It's per-
fectly harmless, so give 1t to your
children any time. 1t can't salivate,
