THIS WILL MAKE
MILLIONS HAPPY
Any Corn Will Dry Up and Lift Out,
Says a Cincinnati
Authority.

Let folks step on your feet here
after; wear shoes a size smaller if
you like, for corns will never again
send electric sparks of pain through
you, according to this authority.
He says that few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is said to simply shrivel up the
corn without inflaming or even irri.
tating the surrounding tissue.
1t is claimed that quarter of an
ounce obtained at any drug store will
cost very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or cal.
lus from ones feet. Cut this out, es-
pecially if you are woman reader
who wears high heels.

CUR WAR WITH GERMANY

The Florida Christian Advocate, the
official organ of the Methodists OF
Florida in its issue of March goth,
contains a leading editorial entitled
War Impending" from which we
make the following extract.
"The war if actually begun. will be
due chiefly to those Americans who
persisted in travelling through the
zone in which Germany has establish
ed blockade OF England with the
inevitable loss of life A higher pa
triotism on their part would have
kept these Americans at home, or
elsewhere out of the danger zone,
thus avoiding the conflict with Ger
| many"
Before our grievances with the inn
perial government of Germany reach
ed the acute stage of the present mo-
ment distinguished member of con-
gress said that Germany has no au-
thority under our international laws
for the delimitation of war zone,
She has done so not only in violation
of international law but in violation
of her oft-repeated assertions to the
contrary in her several notes 20 this
government
! According to this DISTINGUISHED au-
thority this government clearly has
the right to navigate the seas and the
right to arm her ships in order to
protect them from attack.
! 1t has come TO a pretty pass if, De-
couse two nations become involved in
war that all commerce and inter
course between them and neutral ma
tons must cease; the wheels Of in
dastry must come to a standstil
1t is true that England has biochad-
J ed Germany's ports but in doing so
she has complied with all the condi-
tions imposed by the law of nations
and has not engaged in the business
! of sinking neutral ships without
warning.
That the United States does not
trade with Germany is because Ger
many finds herself unable to Keep her
own ports open.
! When the Deutschland escaped the
English blockade and visited us we
gave her a cordial welcome, loaded
her up with needed cargo, and on
her return babe her God-speed.
The sinking OF the I.usitania with
her twelve hundred souls on board,
none of whom we may we'll believe
were not unfriendly to Germany, was
as foul and brutal a crime as was
ever committed since the beginning
OF the world
Germany apolOgized Cor it, and to
that extent acknowledged it to be a
crime.
From that day to this we have been
! patient and fOrbearing, hoping against
hope to bring Germany to terms, I'M
! til she has thrown off all restraints
and now says that she will sink our
ships without warning. the same as
/ the ships of an enemy
If Germany had the semblance of
right recognized by any interna-
tional agreement to declare a war
zone around any part of the ocean it
might be unpatriotic for Americans
to enter this forbidden territory. but
as Germany is vested with no such
authority, it is not only not unpa-
triOtic for Americans to exercise this
right, but, upon the mere behest Of
Germany. not to do so would be a
Abase surrender, and for the govern
ment TO refuse to uphold them in this
right would be arrant cOwardice. and
! the purchase of peace at the sacrifice
of the nations integrity, for she is
in duty bound to protect the prop
erty and lives of her subjects in all
lawful pursuits.
