TRAINING CAMPS
ARE NOW FLOODED
Many Already Accepted Have
Been Eliminated by the
War Department.

A memorandum of instruction has
OF the southern department as regards
candidates for commissions in the re-
serve corps of the army, 1t indicates
that later camps Will be held for those
who have been cut out
The memorandum in full follows:
The great patriotism manifested
thruout the country has led to a flood
of applications for admittance TO the
training camps opening May Is for
training reserve officers.
The war department designated two
camps for the southern department;
one to be held at Fort Logan H. Root,
near Little Rock, Ark. and the other
ut Leon Springs, near San Antonio,
Texas.
Given Wide Publicity.
In order TO give everyone who de-
sired to do so an opportunity TO make
application to attend one OF these
camps, publicity was given to their
organization thru the public press.
War department instructions govern
Ing the organization of these camps
fixed the maximum limit of $500 for
each. OF this number $50 are reserved
for men who will be specially trained
as reserve officers of the engineers
corps, thus leaving 1850 to be trained
for infantry. cavalry, field artillery
and coast artillery.
War department instructions fur
ther provided that officers should be
designated to examine those who de-
sired to enter the camps, the purpose
being to insure that those only were
admitted who gave evidence of pos
sessing the necessary qualifications
and for the further purpose of making
selections from the above, those best
qualified being given preference.
Can't Check Enlistmcnts.
The rush of applicants to appear
before the examining officers has been
SO great that 1t was found impossible
to check the enlistments just at the
point when the authorized number
had been secured. 1t mas, therefore,
been necessary to eliminate from those
first camps some of those who were
passed by the examining officers. A

NO TRICK TO LIFT
A CORN RIGHT OUT
Says there is no excuse for
cutting corns and inviting
lockjaw.

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
will apply directly upon the corn few
drops of freezone, says Cincinnati
authority.
1t is claimed that at small cost one
can get quarter Of an ounce of freez-
one at any drug store. which is suffi-
cient to rid ones feet of every corn
or callus without pain or soreness or
the danger Of infection.
This simple drug, while sticky, dries
the moment 1t is applied and does not
inflame or even irritate the surround
ing tissue.
This announcement will interest
