HALTS
new SEA PLAN
Double Aiming of Merchant Ships
Is Delayed.
TO CONFER WITH THE U. S.
Announcement of Governments De-
clsion Causes Sensation in England
Country Aroused by Heavy
Losses at Sea.

London, Jan. 31.-The Times saws
that 1t is authorized to state that
Great Britain, for the time being, will
not arm merchant ships fore and aft
as protection against German sub
marines
This decision was reached, 1t is I'M
derstood, in order to give the foreign
office time to carry on further negoti-
ations with the United States on the
subject.
The exceedingly heavy tolL of allied
and neutral ships, with prospects of
even greater losses before the situa-
ton improves, has aroused the nation,
and the announcement in the Times
caused considerable Of a sensation.
There are earnest demands from all
sections of the United Kingdom that
the Lloyd George government take i'm
mediate steps to put an end to the
U-boat menace, for. with the deletion
of tonnage, food is becoming scarcer
and prices are going higher.
Subject of War Council.
1t is possible that the question Of
arming merchant ships with guns for
ward, as well as astern will be dis
cussed at the allied council of war
which has assembled in PetrOgrad.
Whatever action England takes in this
direction will be taken with the sane
ton of her allies, for the matter is too
important for England to act alone.
Great Britain is taking such action
as she can, outside of the double arm
ing of merchant ships, TO minimize
the U-boat menace The danger zone
in the North sea has been extended
with new mine fields, which are being
stretched everywhere possible to pre-
vent the passage of the undersea foe.
May Change Sea Laws.
In the meantime, representations
are being exchanged with Washington
on the armed merchant ship question.
According to the old sea laws, mer-
chant ship armed fore and aft would
come under the class of auxiliary
cruisers, but the contention is made
that the Introduction OF submarine
warfare on an exten sive scale has
made it necessary to re-arrange the
laws of the sea.
At the same time Sir Joseph Mac
Lay the new controller of British ship
ping, has under consideration the ma
tionaliZatiOn of liner service and de-
cision on this question is expected
soon.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT.
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooiishnessI Lift your ccrns
and caIIuses off with fingers
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn a few drops OF
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet OF
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap.
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many OF our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

had called him on the telephone and
said: ''There is vacancy in the Fed
eral Reserve bank. 1 don't know any
thing about those fellows down there.
Won't you suggest a namew Baruch

This Simple Laxative
 A Household Necessity
OR. CALDWELL'Si SYRUP PEPSiN SHOULD HAVE A PLACE IN
 EVERY HOME.

Constipation, or inaction of the bowels. a condition that nearly every one experiences with more or less ire 1uency, is the direct cause of much disease. When the bowels become clogged with refuse from tho stomach. foul gases and poisons are generated, and unless the congestion is quickly relieved the system becomes weak ened and most susceptible to attack.
 Various remedies to relieve constipa- ton are prescribed, but many of these contain cathartic or purgative agents that are harsh and violent in their ac- tion and shock the system. The most effective remedy is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
 The Hon. John D. Keister of Brandy wine. w. Va, who has represented his district in the State Legislature for six years, writes that he uses Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin and finds 1t a splendid laxative, easy to take and mild. yet positive. in its action, and that it should be in every household for use when needed.
 Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsiu is sold by druggists in all parts of the United States and costs only fifty cents bot tle. It contains no opiate or narcotic

Tells how to take soreness from a corn and lift it
 right out.

Hospital records show that every time you cut a corn you invite lock iaw or blood poison, which is needless, says a Cincinnati authority. who tells you that a quarter ounce of a drug called freezOne can be obtained at lit tle cost from the drug store but is sufficient to rid ones feet of every lard or soft corn or callus.
 You simply apply a few drops of this on a tender. aching corn and the soreness is instantly relieved. Short ly the entire corn can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 This drug is sticky but dries at once and is claimed to just shrivel up any corn without inhaming or even irri- tating the surrounding tissue or skin. If your wife wears high heels she will be glad to know of this.

siderably inferior on the average, the deficiency will be covered for the hlost part by the excellent crop. At the same time the allowance for lnalting purposes has been decreased at 90 per cent which permits of the setting aside as food for the popula- tion of such quantities of barley that hNe shortage of potatoes is more than offset.
 tThe stocks of horned cattle in Germany have increased since the beginning of 1916 more than 4OO,- 600 head, or 2.16 per cent; of hogs, 4.OO0,O0O or 29.4 per cent. These fig ures indicate that Germany is en- titled to count with certainty on an increase in the supplies of milk and fats and this all the more as the booty from Rumania guarantees at least an increase in fodder supplies.
