Of Never Having

Since Blue-jjay was invented,
millions Of people know the Joy
Of never having corns.
They apply Blue-jay as soon
as they feel a corn. And never
again do they feel it. In 48
hours the corn loosens and
comes out.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-03-14

Blue-jay costs FIVE cents per
corn. 1t is applied in a minute.
1t involves no pain or soreness.
And it always acts. Think what
folly it is to have corns.
Don't Judge Blue jay by other
treatments which have proved so
ineffective. Give it one chance
to show. A million corns monthly
are now removed in this way.
Start today to know the Joy Of
never having corns.

Closed Canal Hits American-Ha-
Waiian Hard While cargoes
r. Increase in Value

While the slides lin the Panama Ca
nal are the cause of the enhanced
value Of the sev erai sugar cargoes
now en- route around the Horn, and
have made the insurance companies
feel good over an increase in the pre-
!. NUNS earned by the increase, it is
adding a big extra expense to the
steamers which carry the sugar and
they are losing on the proposition.
Under the arrangement between the
shippers and the American Hawaiian
Line, the latter was made responsible
for getting the cargo to its destina
. tion and there was no saving clause
regarding slides or the non-use of the
canal Instead of shipping the sugar
across the isthmus it was considered
better to have the three steamers af-
fected make the trip through the straits
and so they are being despatched that
way at great loss in time and a
much greater expenditure for fuel.
g. At the time of the stOppage of the
canal, fuel oil was scarce and very
dear at Panama and it had to be pur-
! chased as il was needed at ports in
South America.

which the action of the secretary of

to San Francisco and having his ex-
penses paid out of the appropriation
for the San Francisco exhibit was ap-
proved. #
The request that the promotion COM
mittee made to have certain of the per

for use at San Diego during the coming
year was passed upon favorably and
the promotion committee was so in
formed
The proposition of leasing the Hawaii
building to San Francisco for the sum
of one dollar a yer also was approved
and the ultimate sale of the building
will be left to the next legislature. I'm.
der the proposition to lease the build
ing big saving will be made to the
Territory, as it is improbable that the
building, if wrecked, would bring
enough to pay for the wreeking
Some of the property of the exhibit
will be sold and what is obtained for
this will be turned back to the Terri
tory as realization. There will be a
balance in the fund of about $500
when all the expenses of the exhibit
are settled. .H..
