YES! LIFT A CORN
 OFF WITHOUT PAIN! Cincinnati man tells how to dry up a corn or callus 30 1t 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 of, root and all, without pain.
 A small bottle of freezone costs 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 a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

 ROADS
BUILD ROADS ON WAR FRONT
Highest Types of Surfaces for Moving Supplies.

With the arrival of the Balfour mis- sion late information has been obtain ed regarding road building methods followed in the war regions of France and Belgium.
 English military engineers have re- gently made experiments demonstrat- ing that 1t Is possible and desirable to build the highest type of road sur faces for the temporary or emergency movement of artillery and supplies. Roads built with asphalt sent over from England have recently been con- structed in the rear of the French-Bel- gium front. Roads so improved gave far better service than any type here tofore attempted under the swift and heavy movements necessitated by the artillery action which precedes infan- try attacks. It was observed that mo- tor trucks and gun carriages suffered no injury In movement over these hastily constructed asphalt pavements, while frequent breakdowns were ex- perienced when road building was not attempted.
 These experiments being done, mission including officers of the Brit ish and French engineer corps looked over the pavements in the environs of Paris built in the last three or four years. Among other roads inspected early in this month was the Trini- dad asphalt pavement laid on the road to Versailles which has been carrying military traffic ever since the war be- gan. As result of these experiments and Investigations 1t has been decid- ed, wherever possible, to construct sim liar surfaces for the movement of mili- tary traffic in regions where roads have been destroyed or where they may be made necessary by battle plans.

to have the roads improved for them 1; they promised their full proportion of financial support for their construc- tion.
 An entirely different condition is re- ported from New England, New York and New Jersey. There the conges- tion of railway traffic makes the high ways Of great value in delivering man. ufactured materials from one city to another; the motor truck has sudden ly become a real necessity in meeting the urgent requirements for transport ing the products of the cities. In short, the rational improvement of roads is an essential element of the grave economic problems of the day, to make the valuable products of the farm and shop available to the user at the lowest possible cost. This sub ject should be studied at once as an economic problem, the same as the provision of railway and waterway transportation, the increase in culti- vated acreage and the improvement of manufacturing facilities. Crops that cannot be moved from the farms ex- cept at enormous expense and manu- factured products that must lie in storehouse because of congestion of railways are of little value to a na' ton which needs such things now.

SOLD TWO FOR FIVE CENTS
Salesman Quick to Turn Action of IrrascibIe to His Advantage,
 and Won Out.

The quick wit of a travelling sales man who has since become a we'll known proprietor, was severely tested one day. He sent his card by the office boy to the manager of a large concern, whose inner office was sep arated from the waiting-room by ground glass partition. When the boy handed his card to the manager the salesman saw him impatiently tear 1t in half and throw 1t in the waste bas- ket; the boy came out and told the caller that he could not see the chief. The salesman told the boy to go back and get him hts card the boy brought out 5 cents, with the message that his card was torn up. Then the salesman took out another card and sent the boy back, saying: "Tell your boss sell two cards for cents."
 He got his interview and sold a large bill of goods.

 1.-The crack troops of the kaiser some call them cracked troops now are hiding in caverns forty feet under ground. The man who now thinks German militarism a wonderful thing is as badly doped as Gal Clay of Nola Chucky.
 "Cal was escorting some ladies from Nola Chucky to Paint Rock, and as they passed planters the planter wus playing with a powerful searchlight he had just put on his water tower, and he happened to turn 1t down the road, where 1t streamed into the eyes of Gal and his two girls.

GETTING CROPS TO MARKET
Of Little Avail to Raise Produce of Any Kind If 1t Cannot Be Moved

While a great deal is being said about the crying need of cultivating every acre of land which can be made to yield crops at a fair profit, there is a surprising silence about the equal ly important need of providing facili- ties or getting those crops to shipping points. It is of little avail to raise wheat if it cannot be hauled to mar ket.
 At a recent convention of the Ohio Good Roads association the farmer delegates spoke with the utmost con- viction of the need of improved roads, good 365 days in the year, if they were to do their part in the mobilization of the resources of the country in the cause of humanity.

Aggressiveness, originality and dis cipline are three qualities Lieut.. Col. Charles w. Fenton, commandant of the officers training camp at Fort Myer, Va., has tried to instil in the minds of the young men who have been under him for the last three months.
 Lieutenant Colonel Fenton has taught the prospective officers all that he and his staff know about fighting, but he continually impresses upon the men the importance of thinking for themselves and being original.
 ''The war so far is almost a dead lock-" he said recently. ''It is going to be won by ideas. I have every confi dence that those ideas are going to De on our side, but one or the other of the combatants will surely have them and they will win the war;"

LEADER IN SPANISH POLITICS

Count Romanones is accounted by men who are in touch with the ex- traordinarily tangled Spanish politics as the most powerful individual in Spanish politics today. He is in his early fifties. He entered politics when he was thirty-two years old, and since then has been a member of seven gov ernments. Time after time he has held office because even his political opponents conceded that he was the one man who could handle the embar- rassing situation of the moment. His return to power is confidently pre- dicted by his friends.
 Romanones is not of great stature, but compactly built, and evidently man of great physical strength. AL though a member of one of Spain's greatest families, he Is extraordinarily democratic in manner and candid in speech.

 "On board the hospital ships are medical officers who have specialized in different lines of work, so that no matter from what the patient suffers he is assured of the best medical and surgical care.
 "The enlisted men of the Navy Hospital corps are a highly trained body selected from thousands who ap- ply for admission. The course of train ing is very severe, and those who are physically unfit or temperamentally un- suited for the work invariably are weeded out during the process.

Use Of Dead Wood for Fuel Is Also
Applied to s%eoundrels and

Forestry experts In New York, a
state which has given much conserv-

urge farmers to help the country meet
the high cost Of fuel by making more
use Of the dead and dying timber In

burn in their stoves and CRATES the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and to cut
down and utilize crooked trees Obvi-
ously fOredOOmed to worthlessncss as
timber, no matter how long they may
be allowed to stand.
This is good advice, and there is a
human moral in the crooked stick part
of 1t, says an exchange. The same

appeal issued to New York farmers
In Sitting out crooked men. Some ras-
calls will profit by war conditions, but
