Soft Corns
No matter how discouraged you
feel, if you have not tried Moone’s
Emerald Oil then you have some-
thing to learn.
Just a few drops on a small piece
of absorbent cotton and bind it on.
In a few minutes the soreness sub-
sides. A few more applications and
you are on the way back to solid
foot comfort.
And best of all, you can try
Moone’s Emerald Oil, satisfaction
or money back. Bunkley Drug sells
lots of it.

Can your bufane or propane tank serve
you through the four winter months without
refilling7 The Texas Butane Dealers Association
urges you to take stock now If not, you may
find yourself without heat in the coldest
months of the year. *
V
Hundreds of new industries developed
during the war-plastics, synthetics, chemicals,
etc.-have placed a tremendous demand for
butane and propane all year round. On the
other hand, domestic users fc>um four te seven
times more gas in winter than in summer, but
your dealer can furnish you very little more gas
in cold months than in warm months. In order
to balance this situation, heating gas users must
plan to buy their winter supply at least four
months ahead
By doing this, your winter supply will be in
your tank when you need it most This situation
is not new. The farmer has always stored
grain early for winter. Housewives can sum-
mer foods for winter use And by taking lass
time for your dealer's Services, he can supply
you and your neighbors more economically at
the very time when road conditions are worst.’
The Texas Butane Dealers Association urges
you to drop in- and see your local gas dealer
as soon as possible. Consult him before you
buy any system. He knows butane-propane,
and will do everything he can to help you get
ready for winter now.
