The Boston Shoe Store, of this city
has just been advised that the fine
window display of DR.. Scholl's Foot
Comfort Devices, which MANY read
ers will remember seeing in t!le win
dow of that store during the Foot

was awarded a valuable p1ze by the
judges of the Scholl Window Trim
ming Contest.
This great honor can only be ap-

sidered that this Foot Comfort Week
was an event which covered the en-
tire United States and Canada, and
that this prize was won in competi-
ton With the thousands of window
displays which we're entered in the
contest. Almost every shoe dealer
on the continent who gives DR..
ScholPs Foot Comfort Srvice to his
customers was in the contest, and the
number of such dealers runs into
many thousands.
Frank J. Barberi. who trimmed the
window is being congratulated by
everybody. and is deserving of the
honors gained,

the lucky store, ''is welcome, but. the
window display had already we'll re-

residing at $50 Bass street, Nashville,
Tenn.

months ago." he continued, when l

all the time.
"At times I would have dull ach-

feet would feel numb and cold. l
fell off rapidly in flesh and strength
and got down to where l was almost
a shadow of my former self. Ny

PAID BIC FINE FOR
CARRYING PISTOL

John Smith, colored, arrested near
Walnut Hill and charged with carry
ing. concealed weapons, pleaded
guilty in the court of record yester-
day morning and was fined $100 and
costs. Immediately upon the fine be
ing imposed, the negro's -Doss-man,"
as he referred to him, asked the clerk
to make up his bill of costs, and
upon receiving this, the ''boss-man"
wrote his personal check for the
check for the amount and the negro
was released.
1t is claimed that labor in the
woods is a scarce article nowadays,
and this in part is said to have been
one of the reasons for the anxiety of
his employers to get the negro out
of trouble and put him back to work
again.

Sham Fight Develops Into a Savage

The rough and tumble fight be-
tween Harry Hilliard, Walter Law
and Glenn White who appear in the
William Fox super de luxe photo
drama Heart and Soul" founded on
Sir Rider Haggard's Jess" which
comes to the Isis next week, is one
those three players will never for

White started the rumpus by at
tacking Law, With their tempeIT
made very touchy by indispositions
each set to the other with a venge-
ance.
Mr.. Hilliard entered the scene by
telling Law with a blow on the face.
After tbs battle had been repeated
twice each man sought a cool spot
to rest. Director General J. Gordon
Edwards of the William Fox nroduc-
ing forces congratulations for their
spirited fight fell on deaf ears. They
weren't in the least interested. The
director, however, was. He thinks he
has discovered a sure way to make
an actor fight. That is to get him
when he's not feeling well.

CALOMEL DYNAM|TES

Crashes into sour bile, making

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on

into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just 60

bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just 60 back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated. tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you

ambition and ready for work or play.

it smart to do and say things

flag and government, it is well
for everybody to understand that
public sentiment is in no mood

the flag. 1t is only a step fur
Their, to give aid and comfort to
the enemy, to constitute treason,
which is punishable with death.

Wilson Addresses Appeal to Nation
Washington, April 16. Pres
ident Wilson, in a personal ap-
peal last night to every Ameri-
can citizen-man, woman and
child-to join together to make
the nation a unit for the pre-
servation of its ideals and for
triumph of democracy in t h e
world war, sounded this word
with particular reference to the
South:
Il particularly appeal 10 the
farmers of the South to plant
abundant foodstuffs as we'll as
cotton. They can show their
patriotism in no better or con-
vincing way than by resisting
the great temptation of the pres
ent price of cotton and helping
to feed the nation and the peo-
pie fighting for their liberty
and our own. The variety of
their crops will be the visible
measure of their comprehension
of their national duty"
The supreme test of the ma
ton has come" said the presi-
dent. I'VE must all speak, act
and serve together"
President Wilson says all in
dustries, farms, shipyards, fac
tories and mines must be made
prolific and efficient.

The U. s. Census Shows Ten To One

The U. s. Census Shows Ten To One
Colfax, not one-fourth the size
of Alexandria, furnished eigh-
teen recruits for Company M,
before it departed last Monday
night. These eighteen young
soldiers came from some of the
leading families of that town
and parish. Somehow. the boys
in Alexandria were not enthused
with the war spirit and but few
responded when the call was
made. Most of Company M is
made up of young men from ad-
jacent towns and the surround
ing country.
Alexandria should have made
a better showing, and we be-
lieve she will yet do so. -Louisi-

DEMONSTRATION METHODS
INCREASE CROP YIELDS
Agents Render Good Service-Diversi.
Acation Practiced-Mueh Improve
ment in Live Stock.

Louisiana farmers who followed
demonstration methods In 1916 made
much larger crop yields per acre
than the average yields for the en-
tire state. They have put into prac-
tice improved farming methods that
will be of lasting benefit, such as the
field selection Of seed and the rota-
ton of crops.
The farm demonstration agents
have been instrumental, also, in
creating interest in the growing Of
the smaller crop throughout the state,
such as lespedeza, the clovers, vetcli,
sorghum, cowpeas. soybeans, velvet
beans. peanuts, sweet potatoes, Irish
potatoes. fruits and vegetables. They
have given instruction in soil inocu-
lation, terracing, preventing and
treating animal and plant diseases,
spraying orchards, and various other
practices that benefit the farmer.
Their influence has brought about
much improvement in the grade OF
livestock in the parishes where they
are employed; large numbers of pure
bred animals for breeding purposes
haying been purchased by farmers
upon the agents recommendations.
Other activities of the agents have
to do with the building of dipping
watts and silos; encouraging the use
of improved farming implements; vac.
cination and sanitation among live
stock; and finding markets for the
various farm priducts.
Louisiana now has forty-two white
demonstration agents employed IN
forty-three parishes, and four negro
agents working among people Of theil
own raee.

Velvet Beans a Great Crop to Plant
this Year.

South of parallel 81 in the Gulf
States and Georgia, that is, south
of a line running through north
central Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi and southern Arkan-
sas and Oklahoma, and in most
of South Carolina and eastern
North Carolina, few crops will
pay better this year than velvet
beans. Especially is this true if
the early maturing varieties like
the Early Speckled and Osceola
are used. The former variety
especially has demonstrated its
worth nearly everywhere in the
territory above outlined, and the
Osceola, a new variety with much
larger pods, apparently is prov
ing equally early and probably
even more prolific.
Velvet beans are especially val
liable in that they can be planted
in corn in May and a double crop
of corn and beans thus made.
without either materially inter-
fering with the other. Yields of
twenty bushels of beans per acre
are common, and as beans have
a feeding value almost equal to
that of corn, it will be seen that
the product Of an acre capable of
producing twenty bushels corn
may be practically doubled by
planting beans in the corn. An
other advantage of the beans is
that the hogs and cattle will har-
vest them during the fall and
winter without any expense to
the grower.
Farmers everywhere IN the
lower half or two-thirds of the
cotton belt should plant some vel
vet beans this year; the seed are
cheap, and the amounts of feed
and plant food produced are large.

Abuse of National Anthem

There ought to be and we be-
lieve there will be a hearty re-
Spouse throughout the country
to the protest voiced by t h e
New York Tribune against the
practice of numbering" the ma
tional anthem by orchestras and
bands, especially bands of the
string variety. Among all the
suggestions that have been ad-
vanced in connection with the
respect due "The Star-Spangled
Banner" none is more timely.
The Tribune says:
The present seems the best of
possible moments for taking
''The Star-Spangled Banner"
out of medleys and one steps
and what nots and restoring it
to the anthem that it is. The
Tribune has much sympathy
with those Americans who OBJ
ject to performing the ceremony
of standing when THE Star
Spangled Banner" is maltreated
almost beyond recognition. A
letter from a correspondent re-
Gently recited an episode in a
cafe; the national anthem was
ingeniously distorted into rag
time and thus danced to by a
frisky chorus, and those who re-
fused to arise and stand at at
tention were accorded black looks
by their neighbors. A prompt
protest to the management that
would perpetrate such an abuse
would seem truly the sensible
action. There is also the case OF
tuneless people who can scarce
ly be expected to recognize the
national anthem when tits sand
whiched in between Dixie" and
"Old Black joe, F" with an ac-
compartment of Yankee Doc
die" on the trombone.
Just one rule will prevent this
confusion. that is the rule of the
army that the national anthem
shall always be played through
complete and shall never be play
ed in a medley. Public opinion
ought to be enough to change
the careless misuse which assim-
Hates "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner" to the rank of "Alexan-
der's Ragtime Band" Legis-
lation upon such a matter is apt
to be unsatisfactory, and in this
particular case there would exist
the danger of restricting a per-
fectly legitimate musical use of
the national theme. such a s
is found in Madame Butterfly"
for example. Let the public
speak loudly enough and the
disrespect will come to a natural

LIFT YOUR C0RNs

Tells how to loosen q tender corn
or callus % II lifts out

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once q week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by . Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts of with the fin
gers
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any Wholesale drug house for you.

We in Louisiana are far short

present time. 1t is, therefore
exceedingly important that all
farmers, business men and bank

to those measures that will help
to insure a bountiful harvest of
food and feedstuffs. There
should be united effort to en-
