THIS WILL MAKE MILLIONS HAPPY ANY CORN WILL DRY UP AND LIFT OUT, SAYS A CINCIN- NATI AUTHORITY Let folks step on your feet here- after; wear shoes a size smaller if you like, for coms will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to -this authority. He says that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon & tender, aching corn, instantly relieves soreness, and soon the entire con, root and all, lifts out without n. This drug is sticky but dries at once and is said to simply shrivel ap the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue. .1t is claimed that a quarter of an ounce obtained at any drug store will cost a very little but is sufficient to remove évery hard or soft corn or callus from one’s feet.

Men. employed in getting out gravel from a bank in thé eastern section of the town a short distance from Arthur Lucy’s_farm narrowly escaped deatl when an oak 75 feet high and five feet in dlameter fell Thursday afternoon about 130 o'clock. A large autotruck phich arrles the gravel had just backed In so-the men could fill it. The workers had been shoveling but a short time when' gravel and large stones began falling from the top of the bank. The stones were cleared away and the men looked over.the bank to see if it was safe. For the past two weeks loads of gravel have been daily hauled from this spot and a deep hole has been made. The top of the land on which the tree stood was about 50 feet from the ground and contains several other large trees on the northerly side. This grayel bank holds a® number of large stones, and several times Thursday these loosened and carried several loads of dirt with them. When the landslide occurred Thursday the only warning given was the creaking of the tree. One of the men who has felled trees yelled: “Run, it's coming!” The men dropped their shovels and started in all_directions. A pile of stones that haq been thrown on either side of the pit ob- structed the pathway and it was with difficulty that the men crawled over them. One man became so excited that he lost his footing on the stones, slipped and rolled under the truck. As the last three men reached a place of safety the giant oak fell across the street, carrying with it about 75 feet of dirt. It fell in a nottheasterly di- rection, escaping the truck by a nar- row margin. It fell acrogs the road- way with a crash that could be heard a long distance. o Thursday the men were working di- rectly under this tree. Arthur Lucy loaned the men saws and axes and the obstruction was removed and taken to the side of the road.
