APPLY POSLAM;
SEE HOW QUICKLY
|. PIMPLES GO

Poslam is the most useful remedy
for Pimples, Undue Redness and mi
nor skin affections, as it IS for Eczema
and stubborn eruptional diseases.
To see how quickly IL will dispose
OF Pimples or clear an inflamed Com
plexion, apply upon the affected spot
at night and note the Improvement
next morning. POslam takes hold and
exerts its work of healing 1T once.
You can tell after one or two appIi-
cations just how IL is going to- act.
Its results after BRIEF time are often
surprising-almost incredible. Pos
lam Is absolutely harmless.
Your druggist sells Poslam. For free
sample write to Emergency Labora-
AdYt.

mercial houses are only a few of the
hundreds OF institutions who have
been willing TO divide their extra
profits.
New York, securing as it did the
cream of the unusual prosperity, was
In turn the most generous in dividing
it. Many millions were given away as
bonuses during the holidays, and
many other millions have been tack ed
on the wage share in extra dividends.

For us there is but one choice.
1--WE have made it. Woe be to the
man or group Of men that seeks to
stand in our way in this day Of high
resolution, when every principle we
"hold dearest Is to be vindicated and
"made secure for the salvation of the
nations. We are ready to plead at
the bar Of history, and our flag shall
wear new lustre. Once more we
shall make good with our lives and
fortunes the great faith to which we
were born, and new glory shall
shine In the face of our people,"
The highway that leads to this elo-
rious consummation, so devoutly to
be wished, is none other than the
path Of duty, the path that fearless
patriots tread, the path along which,
from the North, from the South,
from the East and from the West,
come trooping once again the
mighty hosts OF American patriots,
to dedicate and reconsecrate them
selves upon the altar Of their coun-
try, the altar erected by the Fathers
OF the Republic and baptized with
their blood.

YES LIFT "A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN.
Authority Tells How to
Dry Up Corn or Callus so 1t
Lifts Or With Fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because
few drops OF freezone applied direct
ly on tender, aching corn or callus,
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callus loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as 1t is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get small bottle for
you from his wholesale drug house.
1t is fine stuff and acts like charm
every time.-Adv.

yea, even Of stern rebuke to those
who seek to resist. to obstruct, to
hinder, or to SOW seeds of distrust
and dissension; because the under
mining Of confidence in the govern
ment, during war, Is to afford aid
and comfort to the enemy.
Our individual and national liberty
was bought for us with the blood Of
patriots, which was freely shed on
many battlefield all the way from
Lexington and Valley Forge to York
town. Here our forefathers made the
first experiment in democratic gov
ernment as set over against the auto
cratic system of government which
then prevailed throughout the
world.
In order to preserve and perpetu-
ate this priceless heritage which has
come down to us in our good day, the
whole world must now be made safe
for democracy; and the price to be
paid Is still the blood Of patriots
