YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
UP q corn or calIus SO it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
iced suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
1rops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus 1oosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
,r callus. This should be tried, as it
s inexpensive and is said not to irri-
ate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
;ell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

SAN DIEGO HOTELS PREPARING
FOR LARGE SUMNER TRAFFIC

San Diego has made elaborate
plans for the entertainment of sum-
I-er visitors this season and to assist
in the work, the King George Hotel
Of that city has arranged for special
simmer rates.
This modern hostelry is admirably
located downtown, handy to cars, shop
ring district, theatres, cafeterias, yet
out of the noise of the congested dis
trict. 1t commands an exceptional
view and has a service that is ap-
rreciated by many each year.
Particularly will those located where
it gets hot during the next few months
appreciate the opportunity to get
away to the beach and be able to
secure low summer rates at the same

POPULAR HOTEL IN SAN DIEGO
EXPECTS BIG SUMNER SEASON

Personal service is TIA keynote OF
the Savoy Hotel, San Diego, which
last season made such hit with res
idents of this section who passed the
summer or a part of it in the coast
city. The hotel is centrally located,
being opposite the Savoy and Super
be Theatres, is modern; besides, has
lew rates, and, in addition, is under
the direct supervision of the owner.
Plans for the Hotel Savoy for this
season would seem to indicate an even
greater business than in the past.
Many people appreciate the opportu-
nifty to have such place, where they
can be assured of the best treatment
ard yet not have to pay excessive
prices. Inquiries concerning not only
the hotel, but also facts about San
Diego, will be gladly answered by the
management of the Hotel Savoy.

CHURCHES TOMORROW
First Baptist.

Mothers Day will be appropriately
celebrated at the Baptist church. II
past years these services have ali
been well attended and fine inter-
est manifested. The program will be
filled with flowers, music and SER
mon. The pastor, Walter S. Reed
will take for his evening topic, Moth
er." This service will start promptly
at 1880 p. m. Young ladies of the
church will usher Rev. Amos Rob-
inson of Holtville, who is the found
er and organizer of the FL Centre
First Baptist church, will preach at
the morning hour. The local pastor
will preach in Holtville. There is not
a minister in the Valley who has more
than Rev. Robinson, who for
years worked as missionary before
the Valley was settled. He organized
the local church eight years ago with
fourteen members. To-Day it is one
OF the strongest in the Valley, with
over 200 in its membership. A hearty
welcome will await you at all these
services. Remember Mothers Day
and come to church.

The New Title.

Like Cerberus of olden days, Thr
Imperial Valley Press has beer
blessed with many ''heads," the theory
Of the publishers being, perhaps, that
if two heads are better than one, d
kalf-dozen should reach the apex Of
of journalistic endeavor.
Although again making a change,
the present publisher of The Press
does so unwillingly, for the reason
that frequent changes in the appear
ance of newspaper are irritating tc
its readers. We become accustomed
t. seeing our neighbors wearing the
same faces day after day. We form
mental pictures of Main street, the
Public Library, the High School, our
minister and our newspaper, and our
mental equilibrium demands that we
find the ordinary attributes of life
maintaining an order and regularity
of appearance.
Notwithstanding this, sound and oft
tested newspaper principals demand
certain changes in the appearance of
The Imperial Valley Press. A news
paper can never look like a newspa-
Ter when its title is designated in
letters resembling those of the old
family album; so a new title-letter
has been chosen with the object TO
l:ovide more space for the printing
tf news, to gain neatness of ap-
pearance, and to bring into the title,
where it belongs, the words, ''Imper-
ial Valley"
Certain contemplated changes will
require more space for the news.
Neatness of appearance, natural
lv is desired, and the words
imperial Valley" are worth dis
playing, so the publisher of The
Press is confident that the large
Press family will understand and APP
preciate this and other contemplated
changes which, it is hoped, will work
for truly representative Imperial
county newspaper, both in quality and
appearance.

a New Philosophy.

Much has been written of the ne
cessity of war in the order of human
events. War has been branded as i
necessary disease of humanity, a
necessary cycle in human history, a
necessary factor in the growth and
evolution of the human species.
From our side of the water, until
we became engaged in the struggle,
we scoffed at this conception of war,
since our view was materialistic. To
us, war seemed cruel, wasteful, use
less, and nothing more. We could not
understand England's amazement that
we did not enter the battlefields of
Eupore in support of her cause, which,
she claimed, was the cause of human
ity. We could not understand her
claim.
But with the mobilization of our
ftrces, we, too, are gaining a philos
ophy. The sight of American youths
in khaki opens for US new concep-
ticn of war We, vaguely, at first,
and then more convincingly, under
stood the philosophy of England and
France.
We are seeing that it is possible
for one humanly-conceived system Of
thought to grow so powerful as to
become the thought, even the religion,
of an entire empire of the size of
Germany, to endanger the forces to-
ward which the remainder of the
