NEWS OF STEELTONI
LARGE SUM FOR
RED CROSS FUND
Steelton Has Done Her Share
With Big Subscription;
Campaign Closes

Steelton has won her way into
prominence in the last few weeks by
the remarkable showing in the Red
Cross war fund work and subscrip-
tion to the Liberty Loan.
In both instances all expectations
for records were surpassed by the
large amounts. The reports from the
five teams, made at the noon luncheon
in the Red Cross headquarters in Har-
rlsburg street to-day, mark the close
of the weeks work. Several teams
sprung surprises on their coworkers
by holding out until the final count
to-day.
The committee members are very
much pleased over the way Steelton
residents responded to the appeal for
contributions. Steelton, having a
population of not more than $4,000
made a much better showing than
towns much larger.
In the first day of the campaign
$4,000 had been subscribed. OF this
amount $1,000 was contributed by Mr.
and Mrs. Quincy Bent and $1,000 from
each of the local banks.
Several $500 and $3.50 contributions
were made and will be announced in
the official list tomorrow. Boxes
were located in many parts of the
borough and surrounding towns which
netted the committee a nice sum.

Harrisburger One of
Youngest Members Of
u. S. Aviation Corps

Hurst u. Eckels, who will be re-
membered as errand boy some time
since for Miller Brothers & Co., real
estate dealers, is now an aviation
pupil at Camp Kelly, Fort Sam Hus-
ton, Texas, where he is learning to
be a flyer in the United States army
Eckels, who is one of the young
est men in the corps, writes home
that 'it is a great sensation to guide
an aeroplane through the sky" and
to know that one is doing his bit
thereby to win the war for the Unit
ed States. Eckels believes, with
many others in the corps, that the
decision of the war will rest with
American supremacy of the air and
he is proud to be identified with that
branch of the service.
The young Harrisburger is a MEM
Der of the Twentieth aero squad and
he says there is no truth in the as
sertion that the corps is full and
enlistments at an end. He believes
the flying corps will offer more op-
portunities for distinguished service
and. promotion than any other
branch, aud that while the service
is arduous there are recompenses
that make 1t most desirable from the
viewpoint of the recruit.

HOW TO GET
RID OF CORNS
A Simple, Safe and Reliable Way.
No Pain or Soreness

Thanks to a new discovery made
from a Japanese product, women will
soon be wearing smaller and prettier
shoes than ever. Corns are to be a
thing of the past. A new preparation
called Ice-Mint is said to make any
corn or callous shrivel right up and
lift off easily. Hard corns, soft corns
or corns between the toes can soon be
lifted right out. root and all. Ice
Mint is wonderful. No pain and not a
bit of soreness while applying it or
afterwards. People are warned to
stop cutting and trimming their
corns and avoid the risk of blood
poison. Simply get a small jar of lee
Mint from your druggist and from
the very second that it touches that
sore, tender corn, your poor, tired,
aching feet will feel so cool. easy and
comfortable that you will just sigh with
relief. Think of it; just little touch
of that, cooling, soothing Ice-Mint
and real foot-joy is yours. 1t is the
little feet. and is highly appreciated
by women who wear high nee1 shoes
and men who have to stand on their
feet all day.
