"LOOK PLEASANT
SMILE A LITTLE"
SAYS THE PHOTOGRAPHER AS
HE PRESSES THE BULB.
It's His Business to Make the
Grouchy Grin and He Should Wear
Pleased Expression.
J. P. HARRIS
Notary Public
Asking other people to "look
pleasant" is an important part of a
photographers business, and it is
equally as important that the photo
grapher should also wear a pleasant
expression while .making this re
quest. Mrs. F. G. Harris, Raleigh's
well known photographic artist,
points out that photographers are of
ten called upon to wear a gen
ial smile although they may be ut
terly miserable at that moment.
Speaking on this subject Mrs. Harris
says :
"Being a photographer requires
me to be in my' studio nearly all of
the time and I have had to be
there, in spite of the fact that I
suffered with indigestion for three
years and was very nervous. I could
not sleep at night owing to gas on
my stomach, and all of this caused
me to lose considerable weight.
Peplac brought about a change and
I can now eat pork for breakfast,
something I enpoy very much. I
sleep like a babe and now take more
interest in my work than ever. I
want others to try Peplac. as I have,
as it has caused me to gain in
weight and to feel real jolly."

Cincinnati authority tells how to
dry up any corn or callus so it
lifts right off.
You corn-pestered men and wom
en need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority, be
cause a few drops of freezone ap
plied directly on a tender, aching
corn stops soreness at once and soon
.the corn loosens so it can be lifted
out, root and all, without a bit of
pain.
A quarter of an ounce of free
zone costs very little at any drug
store, but is sufficient to take off
every hard of soft corn or callus.
This should be tried, as it is inex
expensive and is said not to inflame
or even irritate the surrounding tis
sue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this. ad
