ing Large Army.

Washington, April u. - President
Wilson, in a conference with Speaker
Champ Clark and Majority Leader
Kitchin at the capitol insisted on the
terms of the administration plan for
raising large army on the principle
of selectfve draft. At the same time.
however, it was learned that the War
department virtually had decided on
plans under which opportunity would
be given for approximately 100000
men to volunteer for service for the
term of the war.
The net result of the new plans
would be to make the total national
guard and regular force to be organ
lied first independently of the selec-
tive draft plan. approximately 724,000
men, making room for the absorption
of half a million volunteers. No at.
tempt to enlist men to accomplish this
will be made, however. until Congress
has acted and authority is granted
to enlist such volunteers for the dura'
ton of the war only.

ulate Production.

Washington, April 16. - Extensive

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caiIus 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 ell, lifts right out.
This drug dries Mt 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.
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.

all very much alike and of irregular
outline. showing the white background
between them all. They are a light
and dark reddish lavender and a
dull cherry red. The dull red patches
are arranged in such way that they
form large figure three or six, but
as these are exactly the same tone as
the lighter lavender it would be impos-
sible to distinguish the figure unless
one was certuin of the difference in
tint between the red and the laven-
der.
The figures are to be spoken aloud
