A few cents buys a tiny bottle of the magic F'reezone at any drug store. Apply q few drops of Freezone upon a tender, aching corn or a callus. In stantly that troublesome corn or cal Jus stops hurting. then shortly you lift it out, root and all, without any pain, soreness or irritation. These little bottles of Freezone contain just enough to rid the feet of every hard corn, soft corn, corn between the toes and the calluses on bottom of feet. So easy! So simple. Why wait ? No humbug!-Adv.

MANY FALSE STORIES
ABOUT BANDIT VILLA
Famous Outlaw Likely TO BECOME
Known as Robin Hood of
Mexico.

JUAREZ. MEXlCO. January s.
Francisco villa promises to be the
ROBIN Hood for future generations in
Mexico. Many legends have sprung
UP among the natives about the band;.
leader who came out of the Sierra
Madres TO join Francisco Madero in
mis- revolution against General Diaz
and later led movements against
Huerta and Carraa"a. Many OF these
stories are pure rct.on and always
made Villa grin broadly when they
were told TO him. OtHcrs have some
foundation of fact.
connected with Villas life is the one
telling of the causes which forced him
to assume the role OF Il bandit chief
According to this legend he avenged
"A wrong done his sister at the hands
OF an officer OF the old Diaz army and
was forced 10 lead n brigand's life
after that. AS Villa had no sister this
story is fiction.
Another tale the natives delight to
toll is that Villa has the power to
change himself iptO Il little dog and
bark at the heels of the soldiers pur-
suing him. Villa at different times
has been charged with having as many
as six wives at the same time. The
most he ever had was Two.
villa was also said to have been
blood in his veins. This Is also untrue,
AZ no was never out OF Mexico cxccpt
when visiting FL Easo or somc other
border port. and Is n native OF Du-
range. lIe has no children, despite
stories written OF the prowcss OF his
sons in battle. Ills only son died n
