DON'T LET Wife
DIE OF LCCKJAW
Warn her against cutting cons
because they can be
lifted out.

Women wear high heels which buckle
up their toes and they suffer terribly
from corns. Women then proceed TO
trim these pests. seeking relief. but they
hardly realize the terrible danger from
infection, says a Cincinnati authority
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers If you will get from any
drug store quarter Of an ounce OF a
drug called freezone. This Is sufficient
to remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. You simply ap-
ply few drops directly upon the ten
der, aching corn. The soreness is re-
lleved at once and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts out without pain.
This is a sticky substance which dries
in a moment It just shrivels up the
corn without infaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
Cut this out and pin on your wife's
dresser.

SHOE CONSERVATION

VIII. Kelley, lumber salesman, of
Omaha. found Neolin Soles so tough
and durable that one pair of soles
served on second pair of uppers
after the first pair of uppers had worn
out in ten months of hard walking.
And he says, Those same soles will
stand another ten months Of constant
daily wear"
This is unusual service even for
Neolin Soles but Mr.. Kelley's expert
ence should indicate TO you a method
of cutting down those rising shoe bills
you have to meet. Simply make sure
the new shoes you buy are Neolin-
soled and have worn shoes repaired
with these soles which are scientifically
made to be comfortable, waterproof
and exceedingly long-wearing. They
are made by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company, Akron. Ohio. who

Invited to Join the Virginia

LEAGUE NOT BRIGHT
LEAGUE NOT BRIGHT

Mr.. Homer Anderson, who has jus.
returned from Rocky Mount, says the
baseball fans of that city are elated
over the idea of getting into the Vim
ginia League, and that, speaking for
himself alone, he is glad that the
Virginia League also extended the
invitation to Wilson, for if Wilson
accepts this invitation it VIII mean
that it will be in the B Glass and in
company with the big 1eaguers and
only three points from the top.
In the first class is the major lea
que composed of the National and
American; in the second or A-A are
the International League and the
American Association; the A Glass
league is composed of the Western
and Southern League; the B Glass,
composed of Richmond, Petersburg,
Newport News, Norfolk, Portsm outh q,
Suffolk, Rocky Mount and Wilson,
will consist of an eight-club team.
This will be fast ball and the differ
ence in the league is the salary list
limit, which is fixed by the National
Baseball Association, according to
the combined population of the cities
in the circuit
The chances for the organization
of the Eastern Carolina League are
remote, since Fayetteville was unable
to put up her forfeit money, unless
they organize a fourclub circuit, the
only teams having the forfeit money
up as we understand, being Will
Taington, Tarboro, Wilson and Colds
