Insure Against Ghastly Defeat

The American people have plunged
into the gulf OF war and they must
fight their way out with sword and
sinew.
The sword OF victory will be forged
from the dollars of the people. The
Liberty Loan will help to win the war.
The alternative is an Overwhelming
disaster for us.
We are at war, whether we like 1t
or not. The groans OF our wounded
have not yet reached our ears. The
casualty lists of our dead have not
yet been posted. The full force OF
our sacrifice has not yet been felt.
But these will come.
Our 100000 army of liberation will
fight in Europe; but the real fight will
be at home to back up that army with
dollars. Every dollar that the peo-
pie can save from current income and
from additional economies will be
needed
No man is exempt. No man Is too
poor to do his bit by subscribing for
a Liberty Loan bond, $50 bond, or
a 900 bond.
1t is the duty of every man to make
q solemn effort to save up for the pur-
chase OF a bond. In doing so he not
only insures victory in place OF de-
feat for the United States, he not
only insures his own savings in a
gilt-edged interest-bearing convertible
investment In a first mortgage on the
United States, but he insures the con-
tinuance of business and industry and
of his own occupation. Take out
your war insurance today; buy Lib
erty bond

STUFF! LIFT OUT
YOUR CORNS
Apply q few drops then lift c0rns or
Calluses off with Fingers-n0 pain

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and
is compound of ether discovered by
a Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost
but trife, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet Of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus VIII
loosen and can be lifted off with the
fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think No pain at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freezone have him order
it for you.

ATHLETIC CHANGES
CATHOLIC HIGH
Purple and Gold Will Not
Meet La Sale or
st. Joe
OFFICIALS HOLD BANQUET

The break in athletics between Catholic
High and La Sale and St Joseph's Col
lege. which is now certainty, has been
anticipated for some time past. Catholic
High School officials made il plain thoy were
not in sympathy with the manner in which
athletics were conducted at either La Sale
or St Joseph's.
The announcement that Catholic High
would meet Germantown High in a big foot
ball game next Thanksgiving Day was also
made. The Purple and Gold has severed
athletic relations in all sports, ella inning that
until conditions are different neither La
Sale nor *. Joe would be on the Catholic
High schedule.
William j. Glendon, physical director at
the school, is to be commended for any pol
icy which tends to elevate scholastic sport
and uphold the rules which bar students
who are deficient in their studies from rep
resenting their school Ineligible players
at Catholic High have left school and later
represented La Sale College and Brown
Preparatory
r. c. H. S. to Use College Rules
Catholic High School has one Of the
strictest eligibility codes of any of the
schools in this city, including the high
schools Students representing Catholic
High in athletics come up to a certain
standard in their scholastic work and ath-
letes and officials of the high schools are
satisfied that they are qualified in every
way to compete with the local teams.
Catholic High will use the Intercollegiate
League basketball rules next season This
is step forward, for after trying out
both the Intercollegiate and Eastern
League rules last season the players and
officials found it would be to their advan-
tage TO change to the rules adopted by
most of the schools. In fact, with the ex-
cepton of La Sale and st. Josephs. there
will be no teams using the Eastern League
rules next basketball season.
Catholic High is a member of the Inter-
scholastic Baseball League and will there
fore compete on the diamond with all the
local mines.
