All Want to Try New Drug That Dries
Up Corns so They Lift
Out

Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing freez-
one, the recent discovery of Clncin-
natl man, which is said to loosen any
corn SO it lifts out with the fingers.
A quarter of an ounce costs very little
at any pharmacy, but is said to be suffl-
Gent to rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or callous.
You apply just few drops on the ten
der, aching corn, and instantly the sore
ness is relieved. and soon the corn is so
shriveled that it lifts out without pain.
1t is sticky substance which dries when
applied and never inilames or even irri-
tates the adjoining tissue.
This discovery will prevent thousands
of deaths annually from lockjaw and in
lection heretofore resulting from the sui
cidal habit of cutting corns.-Adv.

Problem of Mining, Agriculture, and
Navigation.


This report, which will be published
as professional paper l05, will rank as
one of the largest contributions of the
United States geological survey to geo
logic and engineering science and will
also assist materially in solving this
problem, which involves mining, agri-
culture, and navigation. To make such
an investigation eminently successful, 1t
has been necessary that the investigator
should unite an aptitude for close obser-
walton and for logical Interpretation with
a habit of determining quanttively as
many as possible of the factors of the
problem in hand. To his task Mr.. Gil
bert has brought these qualities in
marked degree, with the result that his
report is masterpiece wherein geologp
and engineering both contribute to the
solution of a practical problem of the
first rank. Especially important has 1T
been that this subject should be viewed
report is masterpiece wherein geology

tiers to so large degree into any re-
action of crystal change, erosion, and
sediment. The studies cover every phase
of the subject, from the original source
of the detritus in the Sierra Nevada to
the possibility of its transportation
through the Golden Gates to the Golden
Gate Bar, and in his broad treatment
Mr.. Gilbert has not only estimated the
waste due to agriculture, grazing, road
and trails, and mining and studied its
movement seward, but he has supple
mented his observations and estimates
with instrumental surveys of impound-
ed detritus as well as with mea sure
ments of tidal currents in the Golden
Gate.
Cooperation Needed.
The investigator appreciated the fact
that the problem intrusted to him was
complex, involving many factors other
than those directly connected with min
ing, and recognized that the beneficial
use of these rivers, now overburdened
with debris. must be effected by cooper
alive endeavor on the part of several in
terests The public interests in agrieul-
tural reclamation, as well as in placer
mining, must now be harmonized with
the public interest in navigation. In its
therefore, this scientific
study, which had its origin in the antago-
nism of mining and agriculture, is found
to involve a question OF relative values
between commerce and agriculture, as
well as between mining and irrigation
and power development. Mr.. Gilbert
therefore concludes that the great users
Of the Sierra's water must cooperate in
the control of these rivers, TO the end
that the largest possible benefits may

LABEL LEGEND LAPSES.
New Way for Manufacturers to Guaran-
tee Foods and Drugs.

The following legend, so familiar in
the past on food and drug packages,
Guaranteed b. manufacturer, under the
fod and drugs act, June 80, 1906 serial
number 1924" is disappearing from
labels. A method for guaranteeing foods
and drugs which will be less misleading
to the public has been provided by the
officials in charge of the enforcement OF
the food and drugs act. Under the new
plan manufacturers may guarantee their
products on the invoice or bill OF sale,
or by certain other methods but accord
ing to food inspection decision which
became effective on Nov. |, 1916, they
may not make any statement regarding
a guaranty or serial number on the labels
of packages of foods or drugs which en-

end and serial number which were print
ed prior to May 5, 1914. the date on
which the first notice to discontinue the
guaranty legend and serial number was
issued, may be used until May !, 1918,
in order to prevent the loss that other
wise would occur from the destruction of
such labels.
The New Way to Guarantee.
The manufacturer, wholesaler, or other
person residing in the United States and
shipping foods or drugs into interstate
commerce, according to the amended reg
ulation. may print or stamp his guar

any commercial paper that contains.
list of the items of foods or drugs which
he intends to guarantee. The depart
ment of agriculture does not prescribe
the exact form that the guaranty shall
take. but is of the opinion that the fol-
lowing wording will be satisfactory:

guarantee that the articles of food land
drugs listed herein are not adulterated
or misbranded within the meaning of the
federal fod and drugs act. June 30, 1906,

the signature. which may be printed or
stamped if the invoice or other document
is transmitted by the guarantor direct
to the dealer. and the address OF the
guarantor.
Why the Change Was Made.
Originally it was provided in the rules
and regulations that the manufacturer or
wholesaler who desired to guarantee that
his products complied with the food and
drugs act might file a general guaranty
with the department OF agriculture To
the effect that the foods or drugs to be
shipped into interstate commerce were
not adulterated OF misbranded within
the meaning of that act. Upon the re-
ceipt Of properly executed guaranty
the department assigned serial number
to the manufacturer OF wholesaler who
filed the guaranty. The manufacturer OF
wholesaler was authorized to use this
number on his labels to indicate that the

mortal presented to the president of The
United States in 1905, the California
Miners association, after emphasizing
the contribution OF placer and hydraulic
mining to California and to the nation
expressed the conviction that rational
application of the natural laws govern
ing the deposition of sediment from tor
rental streams would permit both by
draulic mining and agriculture to be car
ried on in this region, not only without
prejudice to each other, but to their nut
tual advantage. In the BELIEF that the
question was primarily geologic, as it
involves the study of erosion and of sed-
imentation in the mining districts as
well as in the lower valley regions, the
association requested that the director
of the United States geological survey
should be instructed Ito undertake
particular study Of those portions OF the
Sacramento and San joaquin valleys az
fected by the detritus from torrential
streams
The investigation then begun by Mr..
Gilbert was planned to include field
study of the natural phenomena con
nected with the problem and a labora-
tory study of the laws OF transportation
of debris by running water The results
of this laboratory study have already
been published in the surveys profes
sional paper s6-"The transportation of
debris by running water"-and the re
port just prepared which deals with the
geologic and photographic phases OF the
problem, presents the results of the com
pleted investigation and contains con.
illusions much broader than the answers
to the specific question raised by the
California Miners association.

1t Is certainly high time that the
merchants OF Elko should demand
from the two railroads entering Elko
an interchange track, which would to
some extent alleviate the ever dis
tressing problem OF car shortage Mr..
J. b. McFarlane's timely article in last

make united stand against the pres
ent conditions.
Elko is the terminal point OF a vast
shipping area and the railroads receive
many thousands of dollars monthly
from Elko merchants. in shipping re
ceipts. AS long as the merchants dc
not combine and demand their rights
the railroads will never come to their
relief. The only way to accomplish
results is to get together. A free in

little cost and will not only be great
convenience to local merchants, but

PROTECT US FROM
INTOXICATED AUTO DRIVERS.

The lives of the men, women and
r,h;5ren OF Eiko are just as precious
as those of California and other sister
states who have laws, strictly en-
forced, against permitting any person
driving an automobile while under the
influence of liquor Elko is growing
rapidly In population and the number
OF automobiles is also growing in pro-
portion to the population and we
should have town ordinance provid-
ing a stiff penalty for anyone driving
an automobile in the town limits while
under the influence of intoxicants.
California has not only state laws
but every city. village and hamlet, also
has drastic law providing for severe
punishment for drunken automobile
drivers. Just recently, wealthy So
'ciety and club woman of Santa Moni-
ca, California, was given a jail sent
ence and deprived of a license to ever
drive an automobile during her stay
in Santa Monica, on a charge of driv.
. ing her car, while under the influence
Of wine. She pleaded guilty.
1t would also be well to include a
provision in the same ordinance pro
'hibiting the driving of automobiles by
children under 16 years of age. Often
q large touring car or roadster Is seen
Rith ten or twelve-yearold boy OIL

Carlelessness was permitted in the
loading Of passenger steamers until
the Slocum disaster In New York and

We cannot afford to lose any OF our
good people Of Elko for the want of q
protecting town ordinance covering
these matters. Remember, Safety
