"Good weather carried us through, said Mr. Lea today, "but the plan is dangerous, and If we hap pen to have a rainy week we will be faced with a bad situation to secure the money needed. Modern high-heeled footwear buckles the toes and produces corns, and many of the thousands of hospital cases of Infection and lockjaw are the result of woman's suicidal habit of trying to cut away these painful pests. For little cost there can be obtained at any pharmacy a quarter of an ounce of a drug called freezone, which is sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus without the slightest danger or inconvenience. A few drops applied directly upon the tender, aching corn stops the sore ness and shortly the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out. It Is a sticky substance, which dries the moment it Is applied, and ttiousands of men and women use it because the corn shrivels up and comes out without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. Cut this out and try it if your corns bother you. Adv. JOHN L. WAGNER IS DEAD Late Coquille Valley Rancher Former Owner of Townslte of Powers. MAKSHFIELD, Or.. Jan. 6. (Soe cial.) John L.

The best thing to use is Just plain mulslfled cocoanut oil. for this la pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps o anything else all to pieces. Tou can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful Is all that Is required. It makes an abun dance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. Th hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, wavy and easy to handle.
