You've amply proved thtt using such things is merely dallying with a com. For your own sake, prove the right way. Millions of people have found iL Half the corns that grow are ended by this wondrous Blue-jay plaster. The corn pain ceases the moment you apply it' Then the B & B wax — a famous chemist's invention — gently undermines the com. In 48 hours the whole com comes out, without any pain or sore- ness. Ask your friends. Scores of them have proved that Blno^jay makes it folly to have corns. Blue=gay Plasters 15 and 25 ceats-at Druggists SampiM jraflad its*.

W Henry Miller, in association with Klaw 4 BrUnger, The production is personally supervised by Mr. Miller, who has assembled a cast oi well wtab-' llahed and pojralar players. "Just Outside the Door" Is on erpoilUon of the events of a single evening in a well ordered Ameri- can home, where events ore moving along In a prosaic eminently practical, convoitional way. It illustrates how romance lingers Just outsld* everr door, and when it effects entrance, naoally with nnexprcted abruptneso. how It hursts the confines of cunventlcn uieory and human planning, and sends the Mfe currents whirling through entirely new channels. . _ Prominent In the cast -will be Kathlene Mac- Donoll.
