ODD ITEMS OF INTEREST

century ago Nerdun, now the pivot
of the struggle on the western front,
was virtually an English town. 1t was
there that Napoleon, in 1903, interned
most of the English tourists in France
They were arrested on the rupture of
the treaty Of Amiens as a reprisal for
the seizure of French ships in British
ports. From 1903 until 1914. when the
allies entered Paris, thousands of Brit :
ish tourists lived in compulsory exile
in France. Many were men and wo-
men Of wealth and title They had
taken their families. their carriage
and servants with them to France and
were following the grand tour" when
they were caught by the resumption OF
hostlities. Verdun became for the
time thoroughly English-there were
English shops in every street, English
clubs, including jockey club. and
there were regular race meetings. The
informed Englishmen had their own
church. and it was one Of the pastimes
of the French to watch the exiles lcav-
ing the edifice after services on Sunday
mornings.
Three generations OF the same fam
lily attend Oberlin college, grandmoth-
er. mother and son. This simultaneous
thirst for knowledge is said to be a
record breaker. Edward Martin, age
twenty. is the youngest Of the family
at Oberlin. His mother. Mrs. Leila
Martin, is studying economics and So
GEOLOGY, and is a member of two of
her sons classes. Her mother. Mrs.
Hannah NJ. Moss, attends lecture
courses in literature and religion.

in city that had such a host of pa
triotic memories and such a display of
patriotic enthusiasm as at the present
time. His address was eloquent and
gave the greatest satisfaction to all,
being frequently punctuated with ap-
plause.
The speaker stated that about every
hundred years the map Of Europe was
changed, at which time the founda-
ton of new dynasties. and at the pres
ent time the foundation of new re-
publics, were laid. Two hundred years
ago the balance of power" was es-
tablished and remained in force until
Napoleon's time. Another hundred
years pass and the lesson taught Ma
poleon has been forgotten, and another
figure arises. splendidly equipped, with
a backing equally as well organized
and the 10th century Napoleon devas-
tates the continent again.
1T is great time to be living in
America said the speaker. and
though slow to move we are moving
at last. We should bear in mind that
we are not in this war for conquest
nor to wipe a stain from our national
honor. 1t is because Germany is the
enemy Of humanity and a foe to JUS
tice and worlds peace. AS in 1861 we
settled the matter of states rights sc
| today we seek to settle the question OF
| international rights. Mr.. Mills said
| that he believed that all nations now
engaged in the great conflict would be
1 the gamers. Even today class barriers
! in England have been broken; France
/ l. ..,,,S ~
the Russian people have been broken
| the Turkish empire is about to be
! taken from the map of Europe and
| Palestine is today as good as won
! back. Our own America has lived So
/ long in plenty and security that oul
high ideals were dying out and De-
mocracy was langushing in the land
of its birth. But today our country is
re finding her soul and our young men
are resurgent. We cannot fully COM
! prehend the situation until the "bloOd
of our blood shall fight as others do,
or until ouK own boys are called to the
| front.

New Corn Remover Causes
Big Run On Drug Stores

Since the virtues of lce-Mint as a corn
remover became known in this country
Druggists have been having an extra
ordinary demand for this product and :,
is predicted that this summer women
will wear smaller and prettier shoes than
ever.
The fact that this new discovery which
is made from a Japanese product will sc-
tually remove corns-roots and all-and
without the slightest pain or soreness. Is
of course mainly responsible for its large
and increasing sale.
YOU apply just little on a tender. ach-
ing corn and instantly the soreness is
relieved. and soon the corn is So shriveled
that IL may be lifted ont with the finger
root and all. II is a clean. creamy.
snow-white. non-poisonous substance and
will never infame or irritate the mo-t
tender skin. Cutting or pairing corns too
often produces blood poisoning and poop, '
are warned to stop IL. lust ask in any
drug store for little ice-mint and YOU
can quickly end your corn misery and
make your feet feel cool and fine. There
is nothing better.-Adv.
