s.surel I use TIL
every time for any
foot trouble"

You can be happy-footed just like
me. Use "TIZ" and never suffer with
tender. raw, burning, blstered, swollen,
tired, smelly feet. "TIz" and only
"TIZ" takes the pain and soreness out
of corns, callouses and bunions.
As. soon as you put your feet in a
''TIz" bath, you just feel the happiness
soaking in. How good your poor, old
feet feel. They want to dance for joy.
"TIz" is grand. "TIZ" instantly draws
out all the poisonous exudations which
puff up your feet and cause sore, in
famed, aching, sweaty, smelly feet.
Get % cent box of "TIZ" at any
drug store or department store. Get
instant foot relief Laugh at foot suf-
ferers who complain. Because your
feet are never, never going to bother
or make you limp any more. (Adv)

TOBACCO HABIT
EASILY CONQUERED

A we1l-known New Yorker of wide ex-
perience, has written book telling how
the tobacco or snuff habit may be easily
and completely banished in three days
with delightful benefit.
The health improves wonderfully after
the nicotine poison is out of the system.
Calmness, tranquil sleep clear eyes, nor
NAL appetite. good digestion, manly
vigor, strong memory and general gain
in efficiency are among the many benefits
reported. No more of that nervous feel
ing, no more need of pipe, cigar, cigarette
or chewing tobacco to pacify the morbid
desire. The author. Edward ]. Woods,

Justice Hughes Talks
On Subject Of Taxation

Washington, D. c., Dec, 24.-What is
tax! Here is little essay on taxa
tion by Justice Charles E. Hughes of
the United States Supreme court. He
delivered it recently from the bench
in small case from Missouri Houck
VS.. Little River Drainage district. 1t
appears to open the way for the enact
ment of more drastic state taxation
laws by states than have hitherto been
held constitutional.
"a tax is an enforced contribution
for the payment of public expenses. 1t
is laid by some rule of apportionment
according to which the persons or prop
erty taxed share the public burden, and
whether taxation operates upon all
within the state or upon those of a
given class or locality, its essential ma
ture is the same. The power of segre-
CATION for taxing purposes has every
day illustration in the experiences of
local communities, the members of
which, by reason of their membership,
or the owners of property within the
bounds Of their political subdivisions,
are compelled to bear the burdens both
of the successes and of the failures of
local administration. When local i'm
provement may be deemed to result in
special benefits, a further classification
may be made and special assessment ac-
cordingly, but even in such cases there
is no requirement Of the Federal consti-
tuition that for every payment there
must be an equal benefit. The State
in its discretion may lay such assess
ments in proportion to position, from
tage, area, market value or to benefits
estimated by commissioners. And as
we have said, unless the exaction is a
flagrant abuse, and by reason of its
arbitrary character is mere confiscat;on
of property, it cannot be maintained
that the state, has exceeded its taxing
power"

Washington, Dec. 25.-It was Christ
mas morning in the White House. A
greyness that hung over the city caus-
ed daylight to lag. Long before OBJ
jects. in the room were visible, little
Francis Sayre, the president grand
child, rolled and tossed in his bed. He
felt that somewhere in the big White
House Santa Claus had left some toys;
mysterious noises during the night led
nim to think that old Kris had visited
the library.
In another room, baby Josephine
Cothran Yas wide.eyed and expectant.
But not peep could either have un-
til the McAdoos arrived after 10 o.
clock Little Ellen McAdoo was not
along for she was still sleeping.
Francis decided not to wait any
longer, however.
Then the doors of the library opened
and everyone looked in upon a won
derfu spectacle. There q big Christ
mas tree loaded with gifts and glitter
ing splendidly. With gurgles and ex-
clamation of joy the children received
their presents. In the midst of their
play, butler announced long dis
tance telephone call for Baby Fran
els. - In his fathers arms, the child
spoke with the president, and then the
latter talked with several others in the
party.
The White House party had luncheon
at clock; tonight they will have a
big turkey dinner.

THESE THREE GIVEN
PRICELESS PRESENT
Prison Door Swings Open 10
Give Men Who MADE
Good" Their Pardon

San Quentin, Cal, Dec. 25.-Three
men passed through the portals of San
Quentin state penitentiary today to
freedom.
Warden Johnson was the Santa Claus,
for under power granted him by the
state prison commission, he gave them
their passports to the outside world
because they had "made good " during
their terms.
Christmas in the prison wasn't as
gray as it might have been. The state
saw to it that the hren had "Sunday
dinner" and practically every one had
some little gifts from friends out
side.
Down the grim cell row where the
condemned prisoners look out with prac.
tically no chance of escaping the moose
early in the year, there were special
gifts. The heart of the prison went out
to them; nickels and dimes, carved
wood pieces, Smokes" needlework
came from the prisoners to make prob
ably the last Christmas on earth of the
condemned men less Goleful than it
otherwise would have been.

lie said that when the Bulgars
stormed Nish he was taken by the bish-
op to meet the invaders, because the
bishop thought his American passport
would protect everyone.
Borne by civilians, Dold and the
bishop were carried in two huge waite
draped chairs to meet the invaders.
Scores of young girls bearing garlands
of flowers accompanied them, and they
waved u huge white flag.
"To the Bulgar officers, the bishop
in surrendering the city kept referring
to me and the fact that | was an Am.
erican, said Dold. 81 showed my
passport and asked through an inter.
prefer that the invaders spare the city.
The Bulgars were courteous and pro-
tected the city ideally.
Scenes preceding the surrender
were beyond description. Troops mu-
tined and killed their commander. They
looted Nish and committed outrages.
Frantic women begged me to marry
them, thinking that an American hus-
band would protect them.
81 saw one woman commit suicide
after being maltreared."
Dold's eyesight probably will be re-
stored.
