Have You Got A Corn?
Then Try To- Win Our
$25 Reward

Go to your druggist and get a 35 cent
package of Great Christopher Positive Corn
Cure. You can't lose. We guarantee that
1t will remove your corn or we will pay
you, as reward, $25.
How can we make such an offer ? No one
else can afford to do it. But we can be-
cause in over 100000 cases we have never
been called uron to pay the reward by
failure of Great Christopher to remove the
corn.
Mr.. Geo. Moss. 27 Flushing Ave-. Astoria,
L. l., writes, my mother-in-law has had a
most stubborn corn for years, which treat
ments of quite number of so-called corn
cures failed to remove.
'For only five nights she applied your
Great Christopher Positive Corn Cure and
now I am pleased to inform you that the
corn has been completely removed. I could
forward same to you for proof, but will
keep it to show my customers.
"My mother-in-law had hardly been able
to walk before using Great Christopher
Positive Corn Cure, and today she feels like
entering some ladies race"
Not only is this wonderful preparation
able to remove corns like magic, but it is
also remarkable for warts, bunions, moles
and callouses.
Why go on treading in the footsteps of
misery when positive relief can be had for
the small sum of 35 cents at the drug
store?
It Never Fails
Unlike others, no soaking the feet, cut
ting, picking or pulling is required. just
apply it to the corn and in few days the
painful corn will come off in your hand.
If your druggist don't carry it he will get
it for you, or you can write to us. But
don't suffer longer.

Sandy, with Mormon and Sam, stood
just above the group on the narrow
bench that furnished the floor for the
tent. Sandy's hands rested lightly on
his hips, his thumbs hooked in his
belt, fingers grazing the butts of his
guns. There was smile on his lips
but none in his eyes. His tone and
manner were easy.
"Saw his stencil on the tent" he

that could never be bridged. He
watched the flame, pale in the sun
shine, watched it lift to the cigarette
and then puff Of smoke game into
his face as Sandy flung away the burnt
stick and turned on his heel. Murder
stirred duly in Plimsoll's brain at the
sneers he surmsed rather than read
on the faces Of his followers. His de-
feat was also theirs. But the moment
had gone. He knew he lacked the
nerve. Sandy knew it and had turned
his back on him.
His prestige was gone. His boon
companions would talk about It, Nor
mon gave Sandy back his second gun
and Sandy slid it into the holster. He
exhaled the last puff of his cigarette
before he spoke again to Plimsoll.
"Sun-up, ter-morrer. You can send

mind to. Fo' gamblin' man, Plimsoll,

Plimsoll strode off down the hill
alone. The men who had come with
him hesitated and then crossed the
gulch. They had severed connections
with the J. P. brand for the time, at
least. The three partners walked back
toward the tunnel.

Sam. "If they happened to think Of

Grape Crop Is
Hit By Mildew,
Says Bulletin

The state department of agricul-
ture reports that according to pres
ent indications and figures the ton
mage of fresh grapes of this year
will be slightly less than last year.
1t is reported that fully 25 per cent
of grapes, are damaged by mildew
and other causes.
The estimated tonnage is 100000;
100000 of which are wine grapes.
This leaves approximately 100000
tons of grapes to be shipped fresh.
Last year there were approximate
ly 100000 tons but due to the short
age of cars it was estimated that
state and it is of course impossible
to answer this question at the pres
ent time, the bulletin states.
fully 100000 tons were left on the
vines.
The number of ears used this
year will depend on how many rails
in grapes are shipped in the fresh
