This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in

corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.

SILVER IS TAKEN
Guests Cost Big Hotels Fortunes
Every Year.
Managers of New York Hostelries
Declare They Must Replace Hun
dreds of Thousands of Dollars
Worth of Valuabies.

Are people who live in hotels less
honest than those who stick to their
own home and ffreside? The stewards
of the big New York hotels, who each
year spend hundreds of thousands of
dollaps replacing missing silverware
and furnishings, say they are. :.
The ravages OF souvenir-hunting
guests as we'll as college boys and
girls with a fad for collecting hotel
silver, together with the wear and tear
of the regular routine business costs
each large hotel between 100000 and
100000 year. The hotel managers
hold their guests responsible for the
loss of Silverware stolen by employees,
saying the servants just initiate the
guests.
In addition to the losses through
souvenir-hunters thousands upon thou
sands of dollars worth of small table,
ware, oyster forks, butter plates,
spoons and bread-spreaders are over
looked and thrown away. The hotel
refuse is carefully examined before
it leaves the hotel and an average of
half a barrel of ware is recovered
each day. But in spite of all precau
tons a good deal is thrown away.
The next most costly item of ex-
pense is in the china and glassware.
1t costs one hotel more than 100000
of tableware.
The linen item in one of the Fifth
avenue hotels cost $4,000 when the
hotel opened last year. Since that
time more than $4,000 has been used
to replenish the supply. All of this
linen comes from the north of Ire
land. The war has made it increasing
ly difficult to get the right quality be-
cause most of the best flax in the
world came from Belgium.
In the same hotel $12,5OO was spelt
for candle and lamp shades before the
hotel was opened. In the past year
$1,000 has been spent for new stock.
AS the shades range in price from 81
to $40 it is easy to see where the
money goes.

Louisville and Nashville, too, are with

however, has made it necessary to
omit an equal number OF smaller

NAVAL WORK. IS
BEING FASTENED


Already Exists Between This COun-
try and Germany in Spite OF the
Technically Armed Neutrality.
Washington, March 19.-President
Wilson is expected within the next 4S
hours to indicate definitely that he be-
lieves virtual state Of war exists be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.
News received from Plymouth that
fifteen cmn, some of them Americans
had been drowned when the American
merchantmen Vigilanca was sunk
without warning by a German sub
marine, added, if possible, to the al
ready grave view OF the situation held
here as a result Of the destruction Of
the Vigilancia, the Illinois and the
City OF Memphis.
Whether the President will hasten
the extra session Of Congress, already
called for April 16, or will take addi-
tiOnal steps to protect American, COM
morcc without this move was not dis
closed tonight. No official pretended
to know his plans, and the general
view was that he was still considering
the question in his usual deliberate
way.
cabinet meeting probably will be
held tomorrow afternoon and at that
time the situation arising out OF the
nj Sgi
Germany is expected to be thoroughly
canvassed.
Preparation for aggressive action to
protect American rights began today
when the President visited the Navy
Department personally and directed
Secretary Daniels to utilize the $ll5,-
100000 made available by Congress to
hasten naval building plans. The
New York navy yard was directed to
begin the construction OF sixty sub
marie chasers and announcements
was made that bids for 200 more will
be opened Wednesday. Through the
Annapolis, and the mobilization OF re-
serves it is proposed to make it pos
Hihlc to man quickly all ships Of the
navy.
The question was also taken up Of
getting into communication informally
with Great Britain and France to dis
cuSs cooperation in the protection Of
commerce lanes across Tie Atlantic.
This step probably will not be taken
until the course OF the United States
has been finally determined.
In addition to his conference with
Secretary Daniels, the president saw
Secretary Lansing and McAdoo and
William Dcnman, chairman Of the
Federal shipping board and there
was every indication that he was
mapping out comprehensive plans for
the protection Of American interests
in any eyentuality.
1t is generally conceded that al
ready virtual state OF war exists
with Germany In spite Of the tcchni-
cal armed neutrality status Of the
United States.
\ suggestion advanced tonight was
that the president might issue a call
for Congress to meet within ten days,
and in his proclamation point out the
new situation facing the nation since
he asked authority to establish state
of armed eurality. No one profcsscd,
however, to be in the presidents con-
tidcnce.
