We want to keep them loyal to the

greatest efficiency of the country must
be modified to win the war. To retain
them in the government service we

Died Of premature Old Aee

How many times we hear Of COM
paratiyely young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 10
or s. years of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the Kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, it causes
auto-intoxication. The more iniur-
Gus the poisons Passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
It is thus the wisest policy. to pre-
vent premature old age aud promote
long life, to tighten the work of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
Ing plenty of pure water all day long,
and oceasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You

make War as long as we have, perhaps
we now deserve to stand for Senator La
Toilette another day. Speaking with
to de-.the senator Is not more obstruct-
i've h a some of the other pieces of gov
ernmental machinery in Washington that
power is turned on. The senator merely
seems worse because he flies out from his
center Just at a time when we think the
wheels are going to start.
If we can teach ourselves to think of
Senator La Toilette as q penance given to
US for our past sins of dilatoriness and
general national trifling and ineficiency,
having a certain usefulness. He might
serve as a sort of national govt, and
would not need to be told that we had
been departing from the path of our
proper national regimen.
individuals sometimes learn after suf-
fcient experience that if they would avoid
the nightmare they must not eat mince
pie before going to bed, and it is not too
much hope that the nation may yet learn
that if it would keep Senator L& Toilette
off its chest at times when it has particu-
lar use for its breathing. apparatus it must
be on guard against his visitations. He
thrown off, if the nations business is
kept in good and healthy trim, but If it
and the Craftsmanship Of the foreign rela-
tons committee it will catch him sure.
The present spell of La Toilette from
which. the country is suffering probably
has about run it's course. We ought to
be up by tomorrow and taking our full
meals by the day after. But if we man
age to shake him off this time without
being seriously laid up we really ought
to take a firm resolve that we won de-
serve him again until we are safely over
the other national, affection we are now
called upon to bear.
War is a bad enough visitation for any
nation, but to nave war and La Toilette
both at the same time would be pure
carelessness. So let's take care of our
selves and. maybe the doctors can pull us
through the major trial at least.

to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called %freezone, applied directly upon
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.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this

bottle Of freezone for you from his
