LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.
You reckless men and women who
ere pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited nn awful j
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which j
the moment a few drops are applied 1
to any corn or callus the soreness is re
lieved and soon tho entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers,
Freezone dries the moment it is ap
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi
tively rid one’s feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn’t any freezone he can get
it at quy Viwleaaly drug house for you. i

HOW 10 BED
SWEET POTATOES
With New Soil and Tubers Free
From Disease All Trouble Can
Be Avoided.
By W. H. Wicks.
Horticulturist University of Arkansas.
The common method of propagating
the sweet potato is by means of
“sprouts" or “Blips," which are ob
tained by placing the seed potato un
der the proper growing conditions of
heat and moisture. It is essential that
all tubers used for propagating ma
terial come from clean fields. Diseases
are readily transferred by using
sprouts or tubers from old beds which
are diseased. By using new soil in
the propagating beds and tubers free
from disease, most of the trouble from
serious plant diseases may be avoided.
Keep Propagating Beds Free From
Infection.
The sprouts soon start from the tu
bers, but are quite sensitive to cold
and if plants are wanted early in the
spring, some form of artificial heat is
necessary. The most common meth
od of producing artificial heat is by
means of stable manure. Never use
stable manure or soil from feeding
lots where diseased vines or tubers
have been fed. This is one of the
most common ways of bringing infec
tion into the propagating beds when
stable manure is used for furnishing
artificial heat. Fresh horse manure
containing approximately one-third
litter should be obtained from livery
barns where only clean hay is used
and the manure can be secured in
large quantities. A fire liot-bed may be
used in case manure cannot be se
cured, but this type of hot-bed requires
closer attention and it is much more
difficult to bring out a good crop of
SDrouts.
Location and Construction of Prop
agation Beds Important.
When making a propogatic-n pit or
hot-bed. select a well drained place,
having a south slope and protected on
the north side by a fence, trees or
buildings. Build a plank frame four
feed wide and as long as desirable to
get the required amount of space,
making the north side a few inches
higher than the south side. Place suf
ficient earth against the outside walls
to provide drainage to keep the water
from collecting near the frame. Inside
the frame excavate to a depth of about
eight or 10 inches. Place first a thin
layer of light material, such as straw
leaves or pine needles. On this place
a layer of six to 10 inches of fresh
horse manure, the amount depending
upon the climate, season, and amount
of forcing desired. Moisten thorough
ly, level and pack firmly. Then place
a layer of sand or light soil from three
to four Inches deep. The t< iperature
may run rather high for a few days.
The roofs may be planted immediately
if so desired.
Use Care in Bedding.
In bedding place them so that they
do not. touch each other so that the
tops of the potatoes are from two to
three inches under the surface. Have
the top of the bed come above the
level of the soil on the outside of the
frame. The bed should be kept moist
but not wet. The temperature may be
allowed to run up to eighty-five or
ninety degrees F. for a few day's, but
it should be kept at eighty to eighty
five degrees F. as near as possible
By planting time, which should be
from five to six weeks after bedding
the temperature should stand at about
sixty degrees F. In the warmer parts
of the state it may not be necessary
to provide any covering on the frames,
but where a greater degree of forcing
is required some cover, such as glass,
boards, muslin, leaves or straw, will be
desirable. If the climate is mild, a
cloth frame is very cheap and satisfac
tory. It is easy to handle in ventilat
ing and for "hardening off” the plants
just before placing in the field.
Vine Cutting For Late Potatoes.
Propagation by vine cutting may be
practiced when a late crop of pota
toes is wanted. The vine cutting is
a piece about eight to 10 inches long
from the end of the potato vine. The
leaves, except at the tip, are stripped
off and all but the growing end cov
ered with soil. Some of the growers
prefer to plant a portion of their crop
by means of slips and then secure
plants for the rest of their acreage by
means of vine cuttings. The vine cut
tings have the advantage of being
free from disease and are cheaper
than slips. Some claim that the vine
cuttings give the highest yield.
Number of Slips From Bushel of
Seed Variable.
The number of sweet potato slips
or “draw*" to be obtained from a
bushel of seed depends upon the size
of the roots, the variety used and the
number of "drawings.” A small pota
to will make as many slips as a large
one and requires less room in the bed
A bushel of small potatoes will ben
from fifteen to twenty square feet. It
will require from three to six bushels
p* r acre according to the variety when
all slips are set and beds are properly
managed after each drawing. Accord
ing to variety, one bushel of seed will
produce two thousand to five thousand
slips. If the beds are made from
April 10th to April 20th, slips will be
ready as soon as it will be safe to
plant them.

in about seven months laying.

WHAT IS
LAX-FOS
LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVEO CASCARA

CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC
Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medi
cine but is composed of the following
old-fashioned roots and herbs:

RHUBARB ROOT
BLACK ROOT
MAY APPLE ROOT
SENNA LEAVES
AND PEPSIN
In Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by

only as a stimulating laxative and cathar
tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic.
Syrup laxatives are weak, but Lax-Fos
combines strength with palatable, aro
matic taste and does not gripe or disturb
the stomach. 0 One bottle will prove
Lax-I'os is invaluable for Constipation,
Indigestion or Torpid Liver. Price 50*.

People
THE BANE of old age is constipation. The bow
els become weak and unable to perform their
functions without aid. bor this purpose only
the mildest and gentlest laxative should be used.
The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble
and makes the constipation worse. Chamberlain’s
Tablets are a favorite with people of middle age
and older on account of their gentle action.
