THEIRS IS WORK OF LOVE
Red Cross Men in Charge OF Supplies
at Base Hospitals Serve
Without Pay.

Chicago.-The American Red Cross
is placing men with United States
army commissions In charge of Red
Cross supplies at every base hospital,
and at every training camp, canton
ment, mobilization camp and other
place where soldiers or sailors are as
sembled.
These men are chosen from volun-
teers who are more than thirty-one
years of age-the draft llmit--and
much more mature men are given the
preference so that no one may be put
at civilian work who might better serve
with the army. They draw no pay,
but are given quarters and subsistence
in accord with their rank.
At each such station there will be at
least two Red Cross representatives,
one of whom will be commissioned
captain, and the others licutenants.
They will have charge Of all ship
ments of Red Cross supplies to such
military station, and will be the con.
Meeting link between the people and
their fighting men. Some, If not all,
these officers will be given the oppor-
tutfity to follow the soldiers to Eu.
rope, though no one In the volunteer
ing is required to pledge himself to
go abroad.
In calling for volunteers to serve
in this capacity without pay, Col
]. II. Kean, u. S. A. Medical corps
said:
"The Red Cross realizes that men
of the desired caliber cannot be hired,
but must be attracted to the service
by entirely unselfish motives, and a
desire to help their country in this
time of national emergency

Why She Blushed.

Flossie, the waitress, was very keen
on a certain handsome young man
who always sat at one of her tables
She fluttered round him and ogled

he stammered.

said:

significant sound and threw a glance
of triumph at the other mattresses.

Crons on Wheels.

Bumper crops in New Jersey are
being put on wheels and rolled
right into the city markets, fresher
and faster this year than ever before,
and for the first time since the grow
ing of perishable products became an
extensive industry In the state the
farmers feel themselves to some de-
gree independent of railroad schedules
and freight rates.
Motor trucks have solved the prob
lem of fast delivery for Jersey farm
ers. Hundreds of big cars, some OF
them with carrying capacity of sew
eral TONS have been put on the roads
between the farms and markets this
season. Many of these auto trucks
are owned by the farmers themselves,
having been purchased to replace
horses and market wagons.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or calus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether com
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all. dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment and simply shrives up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.--adv.

Two Fast Contests Feature
Weekly Card Of Amateur
League.

Two o fthe best games witnessed
so far this season were played Sunday
morning at Rio Grande park by teams
of the fast Commercial Amateur
league. The first game went to the
postoffice team, four to three, from
the Foundry nine. and in the second
battle was won by the Furniture
team from the Modury, three to
nothing.
The showing Of the postoffice team
proved considerable OF surprise, as

played consistent ball throughout
however, the contest being an ex-
cellent pitchers battle between
Kinle, of the Foundry nine. and
Crosby, Of the mail carriers. kinle' s
wildness in the early innings proved
responsible for one OF the runs scored
by the postoffice nine.
The fineups of the teams was as
follows: Postoffice-Hardy, short
stop; Dineen, second base; D. Reid.

The second game was also hotly
contested, the Furniture team making
a rally in the fifth inning that result

Modury team played an excellent
game. both in the field and at bat,
and il is safe TO say that with little
more practice this club will be one
of the fastest in the league. The Fur

game.
