| Sure! High Heels j
j Cause Corns But j
Who Cares Now f
t I i
Because style decrees that women
crowd and buckle up their tender i
toes in high heel footwear they suffer '
from corns, then they cut and trim at
these painful pests which merely
makes the corn grow hard. This -
suicidal habit may cause lockjaw and
women are warned to stop It.
A few drops of a drug called freez
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone, which 1
costs very little but is sufficient to re
move every hard or soft corn or cal
lus from one's feet.
This drug is an ether compound
a,nd dries in a moment and simply
shrivels up the corn without inflam
ing or even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin. Clip this out and pin
on your wife's dresser.

Few Persons
Know Lumber
And therefore are un
able to properly in
spect or identify the
lumber called for.
When buying lum
ber you should tell the
dealer what the lum
ber is to be used for so
that the proper kind
and grade is recom
mended.
Unless the suitable kind
is bought it may not fully
serve the purpose intend
ed and must be replaced
in a year or two which
means added expense.
Don't put too much de
pendence on cheap price
lumber it's the quality
of the stick that counts.

ABOLISH FREE PASSES.
Peking, March 3.—Free passes on
the Chinese railways will be abolished
this year, If President LI Yuan-hung
approves a recommendation recently
submitted to him by the ministry of
communications.
The recommendation states that tho
i uso of passes has been greatly abused
and results In the loss of four million
dollars, silver, annually to the railway
administration. This is about one
fourth of the deficit of the government
railways in China.
All government officials are now
granted passes, and it la charged that
they also permit their friends to use
them.
