“A license sir to marry to wed to
be Joined In connubial ties forever"

Let folks step on yourfeet hereafter

for corns will never agnin send electric
sparks of pain through yon according
to this Cincinnati authority
He says that a -few drops of a drag
called freezone applied directly upon
a tender aching corn Instantly re-
lieves soreness and soon the entire
corn root and all lifts right out
This drag dries at once end simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even Irritating the surrounding skin
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from one’s feet
If your druggist hasn’t stocked this
new drug yet tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from bis

English Musician Said to
Have Composed Music
for Key’s Anthem
N regard to the tune of the
"Star Spangled Banner"
much has been said and
written Over the first ni-
pearitnee of the poem in
print were the weirds'
“Tune— Anacreon in Heaven" The
question ns to who set Key's words to
this nlr Is yet unsettled Some friends
of the descendants of the poet declare
that Key was stone deaf nnd could
neither sing nr recognize n tune and
that ltis friend Judge Nicholson who
seems to have acted ns press agent in
the matter of placing the sung before

triotic songs of the day Others say

popular tune otherwise It could not so
perfectly bnve followed Its peculiar
meter
This is still an open question hut
Sir Sonneck haRrun down the facts
of the creation of the tune now fa-
miliar to practically every mnn wom-
an nnd child In the United States to an
almost certain point -which Is that It
wns most probably composed by John
Stafford Smith an English musician
who lived betweeu the dates of 1750
and 1S3G
Anacreon the old Greek poet who
sang the praise of wine pnd beauty
wns tlie putron saint of the Anacreon-
tic society of London which held Its
convivial meetings first at Ludgate II111

Summers was tlie first president of the

thorship of the following nonsensical
lines which were suug at every meet-1
ing of the society :

between the two countries was too
lively in these (lays to permit u Well-
known air to remain burred from our
shores A “Columblun Anacreontic so
elety” founded In New York in 17H3
in imitation of the Loudon club un-
doubtedly did its part in familiarizing
tlie tune
It was perhaps first used In this
country lit connection with patriotic
words when It was sung In the verses
entitled “Adams nnd Liberty” written
by Hubert Trent l’nlne In 17i)S Tito
stirring words of course referretl to
the second president of tlie United
States Tlie first lines ore ns follows:
Te sons of Columbia who bravely havt

For those rights which unstained from

May you long taste the blessings your
valor baa brought
And your sons reap the aoll which your
father defended
