the American Red Cross are audited

belongs much credit for the time and
attention he gave to the affairs of the
society, in order to build it up to its

the public confidence.

The fact that half of the world

throng several women had gathered
about her. She revived quickly and

LIKE AJAX AND ACHILLES
Individual Prowess in This War Counts
for as Much as 1t Did In Days
of Ancient. Greece.

Individual proves counts for as
much as it did in the days of ancient
Greece, Waldemar Kaempffert writes
in AIcC1ure's. Names will stand out in
the history Of this war like those OF
Ajax and Achilles in the epic of Ho-
mer. Lieutenants Immelmann and
BOeIke on the German side have
brought down nine and ten adversaries
in mortal combat. Their exploits are
tinged with a chivalric glamour which
seems anything but modern.
When BOelke landed to aid an enemy
whom he had wounded he was greeted
with the comment: "Since it is I'm
melmann who beat me, am satisfied"
When the German replied that it was
only BOelke," the interchange of COM
pliments seemed like a parley between
Hector and Ajax.
The analogy between H0mer's battles
and twentieth century aerial combats
extends even to the vehicles used.
What is a flying machine but the an
cient war chariot soaring on wings? In
many an encounter two man machines
still battle for supremacy man
an observer, the other a pilot. The OBJ
server is the fighting hero Of old, WELD
ing a machine gun instead Of a sword {:
the pilot his faithful charioteer.
Garry the analogy still further and
consider how much is at stake when
battle plane meets battle plane. The
fate of an ancient army depended on
a prince in his war chariot; the fate
of any army corps now hangs on the
information CLEANED by a victorious
flier.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone.' 81
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted of 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 shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
II your druggist hasn't any freezone
