LIFT YOUR c0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it 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 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 at once and simply
shrivels 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.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-ady.

Whereupon he shot a look at her
and observed that evidently he wasn't
as much of pioneer as he thought.
She did not rise to this cast, how
ever. "All right" she said admitting
that her ankles are serious and her
mind isn't, what is Joan going to do
about it2"
It's easier to say what she's not to
do" he decided, after hesitating a mo-
ment. "Her fatal mistake will be to
despise her ankles without dlsciplining
her mind. If she will take either
one of them seriously, or both for
that matter ~ it's possible - she'll do
very we'll"

Rose didn't care. She was having a
wonderful time-a new kind of won
derful time. No longer gazing, big
eyed like little Cinderella, at a pag-
cant some fairy godmothers within had
admitted her to, but consciously gazed
upon; she was the show, tonight, and
she knew it. Her low, finely modu-

Immediately speaking to, and drew
looks that found it hard to get away
again. For the first time in her life,
with full self-consciousness she was
producing effects, thrilling with the
exercise of power as obedient to
her will as electricity to the manipu-
lator of switchboard.
She was like a person driving an
airplane, able to move in all three
dimensions. Pretty soon, of course,
she'd have to come back to earth,
where certain monstrously terrifying
questions were waiting for her.

War and TheoIooy.

Even in the theological seminaries
they are cutting courses to meet the
conditions imposed by the war.
Rev. Ward G. Meehan, a young
priest of the Brooklyn diocese, was
one of the first to offer his services as
an army chaplain at the declaration of
war and has been accepted
He is taking a postgraduate course
in theology at the Catholic university
in Washington, where he is awaiting
his call to active service.
If called before the completion of
his course, he will be given his full
credit marks, just as they have been
given to the students in the secular
colleges when they have sacrificed the
closing days of their college year to
their sense of obligation to national
duty.

Prove What Swamp-Root viii Do For You
In Great Demand.

Movie actors whose physical make
up resembles some of the great char
acters in American history are in great
demand because nearly all the moving
picture companies are making patriotic
films. Recently three men came out of
the Metro office on Broadway, and
their appearances were so impressive
that all the squads and busy actors
not only gave them the once over, but
stopped and looked at them. One of
the men bore striking resemblance to
Abraham Lincoln. Another was almost

KIDNEY REMEDY
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

There is no. medicine which we handle
that gives such good results as your
Swamp-Root. Many Of our customers
have informed us at different times that
they have derived great benefit from its
use.
There was one case in particular which
attracted great deal of attention in this
neighborhood early last Spring, as the
gentleman's life was despaired Of and two
doctors treating him for liver and kidney
trouble were unable to give him any re-
lief. Finally specialist from st. Louis
was called in but failed to do him any
good. | at last induced him to try your
Swamp Root and after taking it for three
months, he was attending to his business
as usual and is now entirely well. This
case has been the means of creating an
increased demand for your Swamp-Poot
with us.
Very truly yours,
L. A. RICHARDSON, Druggist.

German Officers Honor"

Mark Twain is dead, and now Mr..

Commissioner, is making a bid for

tempt to escape from internment at
Ellis Island has become a fugitive,
and Mr.. Howe, with an innocent
blandness that must arouse the risi-
bilities of Miss Liberty, on the neigh
boring island. announces that he
docs not believe the German officer
had guile in his heart and feels con-
fident the man will return of his own
free will"
A German officer with no guile in
his heart and who would respect his
word of honor, If deliverable and
placed on a pedestal on Ellis Island,
would form g. curiosity that would
dim the worldwide fame, of the
bronze statue that ornaments Bed
loe's Island. German officers honor
evaporated the same. day that Bel
gium was invaded, and the scores of
escapes from American internment
camps have shown to everybody ex-
cept Mr.. Howe that the oath of a
militaristic Teuton is not more bind
ing than Prussian treaty, AS a hu-
morist Mr., Howe is giving food for
laughter to every German and pro-
German in the country, To Ameri-
cans his guardianship of alien ene-
mics prompts the suggestion that he
