Suffer Terribly With Corns Because of High Heels, but Why Care Now Women wear high heels which buckle up their toes and they suffer terribly from corns. Women then pro ceed to trim these pests, seeking re lief, but they hardly realize the ter rible danger from infection, say a Cincinnati authority. 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 called freezone. This is suffi cient to remove every hard or soft' com or callus from one’s feet. You simply apply a few drops directly' upon the tender aching com or cal lus. The soreness is relieved at once and soon the entire com or callus, root and all, lifts out without one particle of pain. This freezone is a stick substance which dries in a moment. It just shrivels up the corn without inflam ing or even irritating the surround ing tissue or skin. Tell your wife about this. advt.

It will save you more money than you made on the best three acres of cotton you ever grew! - * Hastings’ 1918 Seed Book tells all about the right kind of a money sav ing garden and the vegetables to put in it.
