Only One Corn Peeler, "Gels-It" Stop Corn Paint; See Corn Peel Off It is juit when a corn hurts that you want to feel surest about getting rid of it. Why take chances of keeping the corn and having the pain grow worse T You'li us Cuts-It anyhow, sooner or Inter The Only PeeMt-Off Way Is "Gets-lt." might as well use it sooner. Then you ara absolutely sure that the corn will loosen from your toe so that you can peel the whole thing off painlessly with your fingers, In one complete piece just like peeling a banana.

Coye, Awakened in the Night, Leaps on Thief and Holds Him Until the Police Arrive. C. Horton Coye, salesman for the Carpenter Paper Co., Omaha, and once famous as a football star, put the old "grid" tactics into operation at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning when he tackled a burglar who had invaded his home, 621 Franklin av enue, Council Bluffs. He downed the burglar, threw him into the bath room and held him there until police came. The burg lar had cut the telephone wires be fore entering the house and the police call had to be sent from the neighboring house. The burglar got Into the house through a kitchen window and, after looting the rooms down stairs, went to the second floor, where he accidently aroused Coye from sleep. Coye made a' flying tackle and floored the man. Then he got a strangle-hold and beat him up a bit. The racket awakened Mrs. Coye who telephoned the police. It was then discovered that the wires were cut. Mrs. Mack Goodwin, next door neighbor, called the station and Officers Crum and Sloan responded. When they arrived Coye had thrown the man in the bath room and locked the door. The police found a husky Italian, 26 years old, who said his name is Emilo Brasso and that his home is San Francisco. The officers had to patch him up a little to prepare him for his appearance in police court. He was held to the district court grand jury under $2,000 bonds, charged with burglary. The investi gation also disclosed him to be a draft evader, and he may be turned over to the military authorities. Bedwell Talks Before Wholesale Druggists Charles E. Bedwell. vice-president of E. E.
