Why You Should
 Never Cut a Corn

# you are troubled with corns or aaitousen, do not run the risk of bIood poison by pairing them. Bta- tistics show that many infections have occurred from this seemingly innocent practice of pairing c0rBs.

Immediately ths pain will dissppear and in | short time the corn or eail0us will loosen and iift off easily with the nnEsrs--rc0t and aii-~ieaving the surrounding skin tn q healthy normal condition.
 This, together with the fact that Tcs.Mint oysreomss such affections as sore, tired. aching. pufed or burning feet and makes them cool. easy and comfortable. is probably responsible for the hearty endorse ngsnt given it by druEsintn
 TO rid ones feet of every hard corn, ESft corn, e0fns between the toes or painful eaiiouses in such a pleasant and safe way. makes it seem ths height of folly for anyone to pars . corn and people are warned to stop it.

cotton PRICES.
Up SHARPLY

NEW YORK, March "a G.N.S0.
Cotton futures rebounded sharply
today in the most impressive ses-
sion Of the week.
Trading was fairly active from
the first call, when the list
chalked up gains of S to 8 points,
stimulated by a 1922 point rise
in Liverpool. AS the day pro-
greSsed, moderate buying orders
from professionals and the trade
were sufficient to send the mar
ket steadily higher.
The market was pushed higher
by a good volume of price-fixing
orders for the trade, and scat
tered purchases by commission
houses. Wall Street and wire
houses were good buyers in dis
tant months.
American cotton forwardings
this week totaled 100000 bales,
against 100000 in the same 1888
week, the New York Cotton Ex-
change reported today. Total for
wardings during the season to
date are 9,643,0O0 bales, COM
pared with 100000 in the cor
responding period of last season.
Final prices were up 13 to 16
points, with May up 16 at 1902;
July up 13 at 1912; October up
13 at 1924; December up IS at
1885, and January up IS at

that by doing so we can keep

Of each speaker and present the

In general the discussion was
serious and on . high plane.
Perhaps the most notable fact
was the tendency to refrain
from attacking or even . ten
dency to justify our past &C
tiOnS, and to be hopeful as to
the future.
There was general acceptance
Of the gold standard and q return
thereto. The same was true Of
tariff moderation and less trade

The general idea was that some
reforms are necessary, but that
these should not be so revolution
ary as to destroy the good in the
institutions of the past.

being one of revising the rules Of

A Republican leader and for
mer Secretary Of the Treasury
stressed the point that monetary
policies and political considera-
tions do not run hand in hand,
and that the two should be more
independent. He argued that
Government preemption of the
capital market for financing it's

recovery by checking private

of rigid and controlled economic

Industrial corporation called for

IN RECOVERY

Comparative figures contrasting
the extent Of business recovery in
the United States and Canada,
presented in a survey by the firm
of Calvin Bullock, showed that Of
the 10 indices of economic activity
for which a basis Of comparison
with the United States could be
found, nine have shown greater
actual improvement in Canada.
The report read:
Industrial activity in both
countries had receded to ap-
prOximately its depression low
during February, 1888. AT the
end Of the year the Canadian
index stood at 85.1 per cent,
based on the 1926 average level,
which was 1877 per cent above
the level of industrial prOduc-
tiOn in the United States at
that time.
Electric power production in
Canada at the end of 1888 was
112.1 per cent Of the 1880 aver
age, exceeding the previous all
time high established in NOvem-
ber, 1929, as cOntraSted with q
rate of SO per cent of 1890 aver
age in the United States during
the same month.
"In railroad car lOadingS and
business failures, the improve
ment In the two countries has
been almost parallel, while bank
Clearings in Canada have been
distinctly better.
"The improvement in steel
production for Canada during
1888 was much more gradual
and was not subject to the wide
fluctuatiOn, up and down, as
marked the figures for the
United States. The rate Of pro-
ductiOn i'm December, 1888, was
43.1 per cent Of the 1929 aver
age for Canada, as against 41.6

CLOTH ENDS DULL WEEK

NEW YORK, March "a s).-For
the third consecutive week the coarse
yarn cloths market experienced a series
of dull and listless sessions, with the
general price structure showing little
change on the period.
During the week, there was consid-
cradle price checking, but it was repeat
edly found that few revisions had been
made in the print cloth and carded
broadcloth list, and these were not suf-
ficient to attract any appreciable busi-
ness.
The small declines of the week failed
to bring any great amount of business
and it became apparent that price was
not the factor which has been holding
