With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain
death from loekjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callous the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callous, root and all, lifts o ff with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or
callous without inflaming or even ir
ritatlng the surrounding tissue or skin
A small bottle of freezone will coal
very little at any o f the drug stores,
but w ill positively rid one's feet of
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callous. If your druggist hasn’t any
freezone he can get it at any whole

I need scarcely emphasize
tlie paramount Importance of making
available dally to producers facts as
to market prices, supplb's, and de
mands. Tlie market news services o f
the department o f agriculture linve
already clearly proved their value.
The department now conducts nnd op
erates an Inspection service on fruits
and vegetables covering 104 markets.
Help Co-operative Associations.
"Particularly must the federal nnd
state ngencles omit nothing to pro
mote farmers’ co-operative associa
tions alonji right lines. Already, with
in a generation, many such bodies
have appeared and rapidly expanded.
It Is estimated t lui t they now market
annually approximately $1,500.000,000
worth o f commodities. They ure o f
very diverse forms and sizes.
For
the most part, where they have been
successful they have centered their
activities on some one product, or on
related products. In a given area. The
indications are that with the continued
success o f these enterprises and with
the proper educational effort and di
rection they will develop even more
rapidly in the future. Through bul
letins, news nrtlcles, and lectures tlie
department o f agriculture Ims endeav
ored to stimulate these efforts.
"T h e department Is requesting in
creased funds to make this extension
possible and will take the neecssary
action promptly if the appropriations
sre made.”
NEED FOR MORE DAIRY COWS
Animals Afford Market for Crops and
In Return Produce Foods for
Farm«r*s Family.
More dairy cows are needed on
ninny farms to produce food for the
family. T o do this the cows will need
feed, such as grain, hay, stover, and
silage which may be produced. Henc#
the cows will afford a market for the
crops nnd
return produce foods for
the family and contribute a valuable
by product, manure, which If properly
used, will enrich the soil for larger
crops and better proiits.
