CORNS ENDED
BY A TOUCH
Pain Stopped lnstantiy-C Corns Re.
moved Quickly and Gently

This is the scientific way, the
modern way to end corns. A ia
nous expert evolved it. A world
famed laboratory produces and
guarantees it.
With millions it has displaced old
methods, harsh and crude.
1t is Blue-jay-the liquid or the
plaster. Either is applied by
touch. The pain stops at once, and
soon the whole corn loosens and
comes out.
Thus any corn, old or new, can
be ended at your will. No joyful
hour need ever be spoiled in this
way.
Prove this tonight. Get Blue-jay
at the drugstore. Bid all corns a
lasting farewell.

- 27 per cent less than the peak in 1907
The average price of lumber at the mill increased to $3842
per thousand which Of 50 per cent since 1910 The
aggregate value of the cut $299 000 These the
highest annual valuations recorded but do not indicate
present conditions They merely reflect the extremely high
peak i'll the postwar lumber prices which passed in the
first quarter of 1920.
These the principal statistics obtained by the Forest
