 "Never take chance.
 "One of the safest rules of driving is never pass in behind woman. You never know what woman will de She'll hear the car or you'll blow the horn behind her and she will get scared and jump in the path of the car
 Waiting is easy. and you are never in such hurry that you can afford to take a chance This care doesn't mean that you can't go as fast as the law allows. I always drive the limit but that's not so fast that you cant control your ear What the law al lows is the right thing all through when you're driving
 Watch the kids
 There Will be little fellow standing with his back to the curb and you9l think there's no chance of your hitting him That little chap iS Iik.lx to be called by some of his playmates across the street and hell turn around and start across like d flash afd =5efefe 9eu #ean=stof hes under the wheels

Yes! Lift a Corn
 Off Without Pain
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up corn or callus so it lifts
 off 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 a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so 1t can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 A small bottle of freezone cost very little at any drug store, but will posi- lively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to irri- tate the surrounding skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to get small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. It Is fine stuff and acts like a charm every time

A year ago only a handful of people could be found who were in favor Of universal military service. Now the man who opposes such ser vice is the exception. Americans are essentially minded people when facts are brought forcibly to their attention, and this fact has been am ply eXemplified in the tremendous change of national sentiment regard mo universal service The daily pap CTS of the large cities assert that the principal objection to universal ser vice comes from the rural districts. But the daily papers are wrong
