With every passing week, the strength of the force will grow, for it is embodied in the most extensive construction program ever underta ken for the navy of any power.

LI KIO AX ELECTRIC HUTTON ON TOES Tells Wliy a Corn ls ?o Painful and Says Cutting Makes them Grow. Press an electric hutton and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn il pushes its sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain. Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost very little, but ls suf ficient to remove every lia rd or soft corn or callus from one's feet.
