Don't "Whittle" CORNS "Works-while-you walk" treatment gets after the core • Don't home-pare your corn. Leaving the core in your toe may act as a focal point for renewed development. Instead, use medicated Blue-Jay! It gets after the core, helps remove the corn as shown in the diagram. And works while you walk in comfort! Blue-Jay costs so little, only a few cents for each corn. Get it at any drug or toilet goods counter. Home paring or "whittling" corns usually removes only the top, leaves core (A) In toe. Blue-Jay medication loosens corn so it may be easily removed.* BLUE *Stubhorn cases may require more than one application.

Miles Laboratories, Inc., Elkhart, Ind. finished. Somehow, it had all gone a little bit flat. Oh, I was happy, excited, of course — but it wasn't quite the way it should have been. I shouldn't have been able to think of anything else — but I could. I could think of Bill. I could see that Aunt Myra was forcing herself to smile, to share my enthusiasm. "It sounds thrilling, Judy." And then, after a moment, "I know what that wonderful sense of accomplishment is like — it's like the thrill I had the first time I knew I'd helped to save a human life." That month while I waited for the wire from Bob Halsey was a lonely one. Bill, of course, was with his patrol boat, and even if he came to port I wouldn't hear from him. That was over and done with. Aunt Myra was busy, working out plans for the new nursing class at the hospital — the class I was supposed to join. Most of the time during that long month I was alone. It seemed almost as if I were living in my own universe, a world without any connection with the one in which I had lived until a short time ago. Even the several times Don Winters took me out, dancing or to the movies, it wasn't really fun. Don was pleasant and amusing — but I wanted Bill. I knew that. I knew that he meant more to me than anyone else in the world. THE wire arrived on a Monday morning. I was to join the orchestra in Norwick, a hundred miles way, the next afternoon. That sent me into a great rush of last-minute planning and shopping and I was so excited I forgot how lonely I had been. Aunt Myra was very kind. She said she'd go down to the station with me when I left in the morning. All that evening she helped me pack, gave me bits of advice, trying to seem happy about it, trying not to throw cold water on my happiness. But I knew that she wasn't glad at all, and for that I was terribly, terribly sorry. I hardly slept at all that night. Somehow, everything had stopped being a dream, had become a reality. The future wasn't the future any more — the future would be the present, tomorrow, and I would be launched on the glorious road to adventure, to a new life. I pictured the gowns I would wear — the kind I'd looked at in shop windows but never owned — and I imagined circles of admiring faces, heard waves of applause breaking around me. I thought of saving up little things about the new life to tell Bill, to share with him, just as I'd done all my life — and then I remembered that all that was over, and the taste of tomorrow became bittersweet. I was downstairs in the living room the next morning when I heard the phone ring and Aunt Myra answer it. First her crisp, "Hello?" and then, after a moment, a quick, sharp intake of breath that made me stop still to listen. And then, "Yes — all right. Be there as soon as I can. Oh . . . oh, I'm sorry to hear that! Do everything you can — yes, I'll hurry." I heard the metallic click of the receiver, and her swift steps on the stairs. It wasn't like her to be disturbed or shocked, and I knew that something had happened. I hurried after her, up to her room where she was slipping studs into a fresh uniform. Her flying fingers paused, and she looked me levelly in the eye. "Coast ^JOOTHACHt? LW ^ ^ DUE TO CAVITY Uiuick, amazing relief! Get Dent's Tooth Gum or Tooth Drops from your druggist today.
