Why You Should
Never Cut a Corn
If you are trembled with corn* or
callous** do not run the risk of blood
po1«r»n by paring them. Statistics show
that many infections have occurred
tram this seemingly innocent practice
of pm lng corns.
Simply go to youi druggUt and get a
few cents worth of Ice-Mint rub a lit-
tle on any painfu* coni or callous. Im-
mediately the pain will disappear and
in a short time the corn or callous will
loosen and life off easily with the fin-
gers—-root and all—leaving the sur-
rounding skin m a healthy normal
condition
This together with the fact that Ice-
Mint overcomes such affections as
sore tired aching puffed or burning
feet and makes them cool easy and
comfortable la probably responsible
for the hearty endorsement given It
by druggists.
To rid one’s feet of every hard corn.
iolt corn -rorn between the tom or
painful callouses in such a pleasant
and safe way. makes it seem the height
of folly for anyone to pare a corn and
people are warned to stop It.—Adv.
How Calotabs Help Nature
To Throw Off a Bad Cold
Millions have found in Calotabs a
most valuable aid in the treatment
of colds. They take one or two tab-
lets the first night and repeat the
third or fifth night if needed.
How do Calotabs helo Nature
throw off a cold? First. Calotabs are
! one of the most thorough and de-
| pendablc of all intestinal eliminants.
I thus cleansing the Intestinal tract of
the germ-laden mucus and toxincs.
8econd. Ca lota be are diuretic to the
kidneys promoting the elimination
of cold poisons from the blood. Thus
C&lotabs serve the double purpoee of
a purgative and diuretic both of
which are needed in the treatment
of colds
Calotab* are quite economical; I
only twenty-live cents far the family
package ten cents for the trial

HARLINGEN. Jan. I6._Etght-
hour duty tor graduate nurses was
the theme of the two-day Graduate
Nurses’ Institute conducted recent-
ly by Mrs. Anna Louise Dietrich
general secretary of the Texas Grad-
uate Nurses’ association at the
Reeae-Wil-Mond hotel in Harlingen.
The eight-hour law Is now in ef-
fect in 26 different states Mrs.
Dietrich said and under this ar-
rangement. nurses are able to do
better work for their patients. Ar-
guments given for the law were
that it make for better service: the
work is divided among more nurses;
three eight-hour duty nurses cost
the patient the same as two 12-
hour duty ones and better service
can be given by three than two:
develops more human interest: pro-
motes a better poised service; short-
er hours mean more alertness and
skill.
The McAllen Municipal hospital
is one hundred per cent eight-hour
duty and has proved the method to
be satisfactory to patients as well
ss doctors and nurses.
