$4,000 PAVING
FUND CITY NEED
SAY ENGINEERS
Lack of Money For Intersec-
tionS Prevents Extensive
Operations

Need of a fund of at least $4,000
to pay for paving street intersections
and streets fronted by unassessable
properties was pointed out to-day by
city engineers, in discussing street i'm
provement plans for 1917.
Petitions from property holders in
Cameron street between Herr and
Calder, and from residents in Chest
nut street, between Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets, have been received
by City Commissioners William H.
Lynch. Commissioner Lynch says
these improvements will be held up in
definitely as there are practically no
existing funds to provide for paving
intersections.
In November, 1913, when the fourth
municipal loan was placed before the
voters, the $4,000 fund provided fol

Let Child Act for Himself,
Is Advice Given Parents

The men and women who make
good in this world are the ones with
originality and initiative. After an
idea has been presented there are hum
dreds of people who can finish it out
or follow it out. but the one who
thought the idea and presented it is
the one who is the most valuable and
who is the so-called ''one in a hun
dred."
Parents often crush out individual
ity in their children. The fathers and
mothers who rule with a kaiser's iron
rod and who think and act for their
children are nothing short of crimi-
mails, says an exchange.
Children should be taught to rely
upon themselves, to think for them
selves-to be sure, with prudent adj
vice-and to carry out their own ideas
and plans unless they are radically
wrong OF preposterously ridiculous.
On the other hand, it is just as
criminal to let children take the bit
in their mouths and run away or to
be so %free-willed that the parents mea
nothing at all but meal and DON tick
cts as it is to bring the children up in
a militaristic fashion. Strike a golden
average.

Animal Resources of the
Arctics May Relieve Meat
Shortage in United States

AS wars drain on food
continues to grow more acute new res
ervoirs have to be tapped. Already
reindeer meat from Alaska is replac-
ing beef on the Pacific coast, and
Christian Leden, the missionary-ex-
plorer of Greenland and Hudson Bay,
sponsors a plan for mObilizing the food
of the Arctics, the Boston
Globe says.
1t appears that the Eskimo, believ-
ing animals are sent by the great spir-
it to be killed for food, conceives it to
be his duty to kill all he sees. Enor-
nous quantities of most valuable meat
are thus wasted-meat which the
Northern tribes could, Mr.. Leden
thinks, easily be induced to saw and
sell to the people of the lower alti-
tudes.
The German army, from the very
start of the war, has been fed largely
on dried meat. One pound of dry
meat is equal to five pounds of fresh
meat, and it is, in addition, far easier
to transport. The Eskimos are espe-
cially skillful in drying their game,
which would make a resort to this
source of food supply all the more
feasible.
The Arctics are far richer in animal
resources than we of the temperate
ION suppose. Caribou, walrus, sal
mon-all are prolific of foodstuffs, not
to mention the by-products of leather,
furs and oil. 1t is the explorers COM
putation that the Arctics, even moder-
ately exploited, would yield enough
meat to feed 10000 men for a year.
He assures us that caribou makes the
best v~enison, and that the walrus, be-
ing himself fond of oysters, makes
good food.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen q tender corn
or caIlus so Il llfts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes n size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
n tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
