TENDER TOES OF
AMERICAN WOMEN
Tortured with Corns Because of High
Heels, But Says Corns Lift
Out.

Style DEGREES that women wear high
heel footwear, which buckles up the
toes, producing painful corns; then many
women cut at these pests, which is a
most dangerous proceeding, because one
is simply inviting infection or an awful
death from lockjaw.
For little cost there can be obtained
from any pharmacy a harmless drug
called freezone. A quarter ounce of this
is sufficient to remove every soft or
hard corn or callus from ones feet. A
few drops applied directly upon ten
der, aching corn relieves the soreness at
once and soon the entire corn root and
all, can be lifted right out without pain.
1t is a sticky substance which dries
in a moment and shriyels up the corn
without inhaming or even irritating the
surrounding tissue or skin.
Here is good thing, ladies, SO pass it
along to your sisters in distress.--Adv

FREIGHT IN THE EAST.
Fifty Thousand Loaded Cars Have Ae-
eumulated at Atlantic Shipping Ports.

| New York, Feb. lain the railroad
| freight yards of the eastern seaboard
approximately $4,000 carloads of food
stuffs, materials and manufactures are
waiting for unloading while the west
| from Chicago to the Pacific coast is suf-
fering from an embargo against produce
and products. This embargo is holding
at points of original shipment west of
the Mississippi hundreds OF thousands
of tons of freight intended for eastern
or foreign consumption. The west is
suffering from car shortage that has
brought its trade to a practical stand
still; the east is glutted with a loaded
car surplusage. Producers and shippers
are putting the blame on the railroads.
The roads are shifting the responsible
ty to the shippers. Meanwhile the in
terstate commerce commission, the com
mission on Car Shortage of the Ameri
can Railway association and chambers
of commerce and boards of trade
throughout the country are striving to
find a solution.
The congestion has its cause in these
three facts:
|. The railroads lack 10000 cars neces-
sary for the transportation of all or
ders throughout the country.
,. Much of the freight sent here, par
ticularly food staples and materials, is
held unloaded purposely that financial
advantage may be gained from the con-
slant advances in prices.
g. Freight intended for foreign ship
ment has been tied up through the lack
of vessels.
As yet the force of Germany's new
submarine policy has not been felt par
ticularly, but within the next week, I'M
less Washington and the entente powers
find means of overcoming the menace
the congestion will be greatly agra
waited.
The effect of the shortage and delayed
has been to confine TO immedi- |
ate markets produce and materials grown
or made for the east. 1t has crowded |
every pier, freight yard and warehouse |
along the Atlantic with undisposed stuff. |
Unless the embargo is broken Europe |
will have TO go without much of its
supply.
In some quarters il is said this cutting /
of of supplies meant for Europe will /
throw the freight on domestic markets
and reduce local prices. 1t is certain
hat the west. forced To consume its own
stuff. will have its living cost reduced
put the loss must be- borne by the farm
IT'S and manufacturers OF the west, who
have been getting abnormal prices.

GERMAN HAND
Believed to Have Famed
Racial Feeling to a
Blaze in Cuba
u. S. ISSUES WARNING
TO INSURRECTIONISTS
The Action of Carranza May
Force England to Move
in Mexico

Washington, Feb. l5.-With Washing
ton full of rumors to the effect that the
disturbances in Cuba and the anti-en.
tente utteranees of Carranza are due in
great measure to the activities of Ger.
man agents in the island republic and in
Mexico, the state department made pub
lie yesterday the text of the warning, the
second in two days, issued by the United
States to the revolutionary leaders in
Cuba.
This warning, which was sounded in
Havana by the American minister there,
is as follows:
1.-THE government of the United States
has received with the greatest apprehen-
sion the reports which have come to it to
the effect that thtre exist organized re-
volts against the government of Cuba in
several provinces and that several towns
have been seized by insurrectionists.
''The reports such as these of insurrec-
ton against the constituted government
cannot be considered except as of the
most serious nature. since the govern
ment of the United States has given its
confidence and support only to govern
ments established through local and con-
stitutional methods.
During the past four years the gov
eminent of the United States has clearly
and definitely set forth its position in re-
gard to the recognition of governments
which have come into power through
revolution and other Illegal methods. and
at this time desires to emphasize its po-
sition in regard to the present situation
in Cuba. Its friendship for the Cuban
people, which has been shown on repeat
ed occasions, and the duties which are
incumbent upon it on account of the
agreement between the two countries
moves the government of the United
States to make clear its future policy at
this time"
The agreement" referred to is that
set forth in the so-called Platt amend
ment to the Cuban treaty under which
the United States may at any time that
conditions warrant actively intervene to
restore order.
Just to what extent. ii any German
agents are responsible for the revolution
airy disturbances, officials in Washington
are not prepared to say.
Primarily, it is explained, the trouble
is racial in character and parallels in its
origin the negro problem of the South.
That is to say that, while the negroes of
Cuba, who nominally enjoy the right of
suffrage, far outnumber the whites, or
those of Spanish descent, the latter have
always managed to control the election,
In recent years, however, the blacks have
been steadily increasing in number and
becoming more and more of a menace to
white domination. 1t was troubled based
on this racial feeling that brought about
armed intervention by the United States
in 1906, when Maj. Gen. Barry was sent

gained by returning the same week OF

Liquor Law Practically Unchanged.
The only interesting incident of yes
terday afternoons session was the dis
cussion of II l59, relating to license fees,
and after various amendments were
adopted the bill was passed. leaving the
present law practically unchanged.
The bill as introduced and reported
eliminated the present sliding scale sys-
tenn for liquor licenses of the various
classes and established fixed sums to be
charged, 81 900 fiat for second class Ii.
cense instead of not less than $500 and
not more than $1,000. Mr.. Moore in
duced the House Monday to accept an
amendment fixing the fiat rate at $4,000,
and the bill was passed. I;cconsidera-
ton was effected Tuesday, and yester-
day the bill was taken up "a a SPECIAL
order.
Mr.. Deyette of Benson moved to
amend the bill so that the fee would
not be less than 81 900 nor more than
$1,000. Mr.. Root of Bennington sup
ported Mr. Deyette's proposal, but Mr..
Fenton of Rutland City wanted the min
imum to be $1,000, and he offered an
amendment to that effect, which was
ruled out of order.
Mr.. Pollard of Cavendish favored the
amendment, and Mr.. Phelps pictured the
in Fair Haven. Mr.. Stearns
of Burlington supported the amend
ment, saying that an attempt to fix the
fee at 1000 seemed to him an insidious
to tamper with the local option
law. The peoples vote last March for
local option was, he said, strong hint
TO the legislature to let the present law
alone.
Mr.. Pirie of Williamstown rose to pro-
pose motion to postpone indefinitely,
but this the House refused to consider
and adopted the Deyette amendment and
passed the bill
Thus, after deyoting several hours to
the bill, at considerable expense TO the |
state, the net result is the changing of

ORIGIN OF THE TOTEM POLE
Usually Were Animals After
Which Tribes Were Named.

Before people had individual names,
the savage people who lived In clans
or tribes referred to themselves in the
name Of some natural object, usually
an animal which they assumed as the
name or emblem Of the clan or tribe.
These names never applied to one indi-
vidual more than another, but only to
the clan Or tribe, so that everyone in
a tribe which had taken the wolf" for
It's emblem was known as wolf" says
the Book of Wonders.
Later on they began to distinguish
individuals by giving them additional
names characteristic Of the individual,
such as Lonely Wolf" Growing
Wolf" or other names. The name Of
this animal was then the emblem Of
one tribe. They, therefore, placed this
emblem upon their bodies, their
clothes, utensils, etc. Through this,
these emblems also became at times
ideals of worship, and so they erected
poles upon which their emblems were
engraved. The word totem Is North
American Indian word, meaning fam
lily token" The tribes called them
selves after animals from which they
believed themselves descended.

HUMAN BODY AS AN ENGINE

Throughout Four Seasons.

To burn the fuel in q gasoline en-
gine 1t must be carburetted or mixed
with air and an electric spark must be
applied to ignite the mixture. In the
human engine the process is much
more elaborate, since very wide va
riety Of crude foods is taken, refined,
reduced to fuel and burned slowly. A
gasoline engine may be termed q
quick-combustion, high-temperatnre en-
gine, while the human machine Is q
low-temperature and slow-combustion
engine, which not only produces ener-
gy from its food, but lubricates itself,
keeps itself in repair and constantly
maintains an even temperature
throughout the four seasons.
A man could not digest gasoline, nor
could gasoline engine run on butter
Nevertheless, the two classes and

I'm the course of this he is obliged
to go personally each time to the tele-

night, in order to hand in the tele-
grams. Herr Cronholm was formerly
at Peking and at Tokyo and was re-

been in charge of the consulate gen

Cash Payments Hurt His Credit.

A story is told In the business world
Of man who, paradoxically enough,
could not get charge account in a
certain department store because he
always paid cash for his purchases at
the butchers, the grocer's, etc. Appli-
cation for an account was made at the
store In question, and IN due time the
usual inquiries were made. Everything
seemed to be going along swimmlngly
until 1t was discovered that in his
neighborhood purcf ,ses the man had
always paid cash. +" The question i'm
mediately came up In the mind Of the
credit man as to why the prospective
customer should want to buy dry goods
on credit when he paid ready money"
for meat, groceries and sundries. This,
coupled with the fact that the man
had never asked any store for an ac-
count before, led to his being refused.
