YOUR daughter will never come to
this if you have no money in the
bank. If you were to investigate the
families who have accomplished daughters, you would
find that in practically every instance a bank account is
started for their education when they were children.
You envy such people, so will your children when they
grow up unless they have the same advantages. So think
how much a bank account will mean to them and start
one today.

WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer Terribly With Corns Be
cause of High Heels, But Why
Suffer Now.
Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suf
fer terribly with corns. Women
then proceed to trim these pests,
seeking relief, but they hardly
realize the terrible danger from in
fection, says the Cincinnati au
thority. •
Corns can easily be lifted out
with the fingers if you will get
from any drug store a quarter of
an ounce of a drug calfed freezone.
This is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from
one's feet. You simply apply a
few drops directly upon the ten
der, aching corn or callus. The
soreness is relieved at once and
soon the entire corn or callus, root
and all, lifts out without one par
ticle of pain.
This freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries in a moment.
It just shrivels up the corn with
out inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin.
Tell yourwife about this.
