MEDAL FOR THIS
Cincinnati Authority Tells
How to Dry up Any Corn
or Callus so it Lifts Right
Off
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied direct
ly on a tender, aching corn stops
soreness at once and soon the com
loosens so it can be lifted out, root
and all, without a bit of pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store,
but is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft com or callus. This
should be tried, as it is inexpensive
and is said not to inflame or even ir
ritate the surrounding tissues or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this. advt.

WANTS WHEAT RULES FOR
HOME PRODUCERS CHANGEO
Farmers Who Raise Own Wheat Want
Rules Slightly Altered
Atlanta, Ga., April 25.—The state
department of agriculture has taken
up with the federal food administra
tion the question of the possible re
laxation of the rule as to wheat in the
hands of the producer, particularly in
small quantities.
There are two purposes in the de
partment's action in this matter;
first, to relieve the inconvenience of
making frequent long trips to mill
on the part of the farmer; and, sec
ond, to encourage the production of
v.heat in the state, where it is so badly
needed.
Under the food administration’s
present r ules the quantity of wheat
flour which any person may have on
hand is limited to six pounds per per
son for one month, regardless of
whether or not he produced the wheat
from which it is made. A specific case
in point w r ill illustrate the difficulties
of the situation as applied to the
.small producer.
Among many letters which the de
oartment has received on this subject,
is one from W. Shnnon Elder, a mil
ler, of Watkinsville. Mr. Elder tells
of a farmer who drove fourteen miles
to bring ten bushels of wheat to his
mill to be ground. It was all the
wheat he had raised to supply his
family for the year. Under the food
administration’s rule Mr. Elder could
grind only one bushel for him. He
had to haul back home nine bushels
of wheat, and travel to the mill every
thirty days to get another bushel
ground for his month's supply for his
family.
Commissioner of Agriculture J. J.
Brown believes the food administra
; tion vvll gladly relax the ruling to
I fit cases of this kind, of which there
are many, for the reasons stated. He
,has, accordingly, laid these cases be
fore the food administration, point
ing out the difficulties, which have
arisen, and asked that if possible,
j some steps should be taken to remedy
a situation which is liable to inter
fere with food production more than
it helps food conservation.

LOOK AT YOUR TONGUE!
1$ IT BROAD, WHITE, FLABBY? ,
-YOUR BLOOD NEEDS ZIRONI*
When Your Tongue Is White and Flabby, It Is a Sign
That You Are Anemic and That Your Blood
Needs Ziron Iron Tonic, For the Benefit
of Your Weakened System.
Look at your tongue In the mirror!
It ought to be pointed, pink, clean and firm.
If it is broad, white, coated, flabby, it is probably a sign that you are
anemic, that your blood lacks red corpuscles, that you are not in good health,
that your system needs Iron to bring it up to proper condition.
When your blood needs iron, take Ziron, the new Iron Tonic, which co n *
tains also the hypophosphites of lime and soda and other valuable tonic ingre
dients prescribed by the best physicians for this form of trouble.
When you feel tired and miserable, lack ambition, suffer from indigestion,
rheumatic pains, gastric catarrh, depression of spirits and a general feeling
of being “under the weather”, why not try Ziron to help you back to health-
Ziron, the new compound of Iron, contains no habit-forming drugs. It u
a safe, reliable tonic remedy—good for men, women and children.
Mr. R. L. Poston, of Lillie, La., writes: “Some weeks ago I was suffering
with something like dumb chills. I just ached all over, my skin would fee*
clammy. I ached worse from my knees down. I didn’t rest well nights, nr. 1
my appetite wasn’t good. I was afraid I would get down in bed and so much ,
to do in the Spring of the year. I began to look around for something (
to help me and decided to try Ziron...l had not taken one third of a bottl
until I felt much better. I grew stronger, began to get hungry and did not
have any more of the chills. I think Ziron is a splendid tonic.”
