LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen . tender corn
or eaIlus so IL lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes 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 a few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness. and soon the entire
corn. root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries Mt once and simply
shr,vels 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.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet. tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

On WRITING Letters.

II was told by Capt. Harry Light the
other day" writes Canadian major.
that there is new style in trench
letters. The censor's duties have
been reduced by many per cent. The
soldier now has the sense of the stu
alton engrained In his thinking. He
sees through the need of keeping quiet
even on matters that call for some
criticism. There is more humor and
matter-of-factness about his letters
One of my men, who can't write very
well, was telling me the other day that
one letter week is all that he can
summon up his courage TO write. and
he gave this as a reason: The people
at home don't, can't understand life
here. We have got to go through It.
Why tease them with anxieties-they
have enough 10 put up with in paci
fists and political grumblers.' And
think he Is right. Don't you?"

Women Drive War Automobiles,

Between $50 and 200 women soon
will be driving military motor cars be-
hind the French front.
Women have tried since the begin.
ming of the war to enlist in the auto
mobile service. The Club Feminin
Automobile was the center of this
group. and 1t had secured the sigma
lures Of several hundred of the thou
sand women In Paris who hold licenses
to drive motor cars. The passive re-
sistance Of the different war bureaus
held them pack until now.
The women are obliged to enlist for
three months and to agree to submit
scrupulously to military rules and dis
cipline. They will in the beginning
replace motor ambulance drivers in the
foreign sanitary sections who are
transferred to other services. Later
on they may replace men in other au-
tomobile sections.

PORPOlSE FISHERY IS OLD
One Of Least Known Industries Has
Been in Existence at Cape Hat
teras for 200 Years

One OF the oldest and least-knOwn
industries In America is the pOrpOise
fishery which has been operated from
Cape Hatteras in North Carolina for
about 200 years. II should attain an
unusual prosperity in the next few
years, for the bureau of fisheries il
urging more general use Of pOrpoIse
hides In place Of cowhides. II Is an
excellent leather. and could undOubt-
eddy be used more widely.
Heretofore the most valuable prod
uct Of the fishery has been the oil
which Is extracted from the jaws Of
the pOrpoise, and Is worth about SD
gallon. II is universally used for
lubricating watches and other very DEL
icate mechanisms. The body blubbef
is also valuable. Attempts TO manu-
facture fertilizer out Of the cnrcass
have failed because Of the distance
from fuel supply.
The porpOise are taken at Hafteras
in seines. operated from the shore. and
1t Is probably the only place In Amer
lea where this has ever been done
successfully. During the fall, winter
and spring many pOrpOises are seen
of the South Atlantic coast, and 1t
Hatteras they come within few hun
bred yards Of the surf. They are
taken by spreading seines about 800
yards outside the surf lines. As soon
as the porpoises have come inside the
seines. they are dragged ashore. Often
a whole school of these sea creatures
Is taken in a single haul.

UNCLE SAM AS TRUCK USER
Government Introduces STANDARDIZED
tlon Which Is Expected to Be CT
Big Value to Industry.

The fact that Uncle Sam has
standardized his trucks, so that any
part broken in action may be re-
placed by similar part taken from
another truck, does not necessarily
mean that the most efficient delivery
system can be obtained only by the
use of a fleet of trucks identical in
model and design, says H. W. Slau-
son, in Leslie's. 1t does mean, how
ever, that there must be at least a
certain Standardization Of methods
and certain interchangeability Of
parts which will enable each truck
to spend its actual time in the most
effective service.
What the truck industry has need
ed most has been a standardized sys-
tenn of truck installation, operation
and cost keeping. Without such a
system it is impossible to determine
whether a truck or a feet of trucks
is operating at its maximum eff
cheney or whether an improvement
OF some 80 or even 100 per cent in
effectiveness could be made by
change here or an elimination of
waste effort there. Now, however, it
seems probable that this deficiency
is to be changed, and that Uncle
Sam, as the worlds greatest truck
user, will evolve a truck system
which will prove of intestimable
benefit to every user Of trucks be-
fore, and during, as well as after the
war.
