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 a 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 small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

Another Farraqut for Tennessee.

That Tennessee may claim another
Farragut in the person of Rear Ad-
miraI Albert Gleaves of Nashville, now
somewhere at sea" in command OF
the flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers,
is the prediction made by frieuds OF
the grizzled old seadog who know him
and who have watched his career
closely Admiral Gleaves is Tennes-
sean to the manor born. He was a
sturdy youth residing in Nashville in
1876, when Horace Maynard then con-
gresham from the state at large from
Tennessee, appointed him to Annapolis
Naval Academy. He was graduated in
the allotted four years, and since then
his rise has been rapid. He has been
in charge of the flotilla tile past two
years, and this command suddenly be-
comes one of the most important in
the navy owing to the silent hunt that
is conducted for submarines.

dress to Graduates.

Knoxville.-From the main institu-
tion here of the University of Tennes-
see Sc young men and women were
graduated at the 10th annual COM
mencement exercises, which were held
in Jefferson Hall. The silence which
followed the calling of the names OF
several of this years class emphasized
that the country Is at war and that I'M
versity boys have answered the call of
their country. Two hundred students
of the agricultural department, among
whom were several seniors, were sent
out from the university April rs to
work with county demonstration
agents or to work on private farms.
Since that time several young men
have gone to Fort Oglethorpe training
camp.
The senior law prize of 43 volumes
of the American Law Encyclopedia,
worth about $500, was won by Bin
stock.
President Ayres spoke in part as fol-

mixed feelings. The joy that is ours
from the prospect of the new life that
is in sight for the university through
the munificence of the Legislature is

consciousness of the great enterprise
on which our nation has embarked, and
the recognition of the fact that this Is

stern resolve to bend every energy to-
ward the successful outcome of the
great struggle for liberty into which
our country has entered"

Germany's Prize Fight

Henry Farrand Griffin, in Leslies.
 Germany is winning the war on points and losing it on condition. She is in the position of a very skilful pugilist. in poor shape physically, matched with an opponent of in- ferior skill but superior strength and endurance. If Germany could now ne- gotiate a peace, based on the war map, she would win. The reason she cannot negotiate such a peace is the general recognition that, given time, the su- perior financial and economic re- sources of the allies far outweigh Ger many's present military advantages Even in Germany this fact is recog nized in well informed quarters. That is why Germany is making such des- perate efforts, directly or indirectly, to start peace negotiations while the ap- parent advantage rests with her.

B|RM|NGHAM'S TWO. GREATEST FEATURES. ARE TWO PREACHERS. Heryey w. Laird Analyzes Power of Dr. Stuart and
 Dr. Edmonds CITY IS UNIQUE IN
 THEIR POSSESSION No Other City in Country Has Two Men Who Always Preach to
 Capacity Audiences
By HERvEY W. LAIRD

With two preachers who speak, when ever they do speak, to capacity houses, Birmingham occupies a unique position in the cities of the south, perhaps in the country. There is no community of it's size. possibly in the whole country where two pulpit orators so fully empha- size influence and leadership.
 I once heard great preacher-in many respects one of the smartest men in the ssouth-say that the man who preached who had a message would always find a hearing In proof of this he cited the career of John the Baptist, who, un- eouth and unkempt in personal appear ance, preached to audiences that fully filled out the spaces on the banks of the Jordan. You preach" he said to the ministers present, "and you will have the people to hear you"
 If this be so, and it is so, these two Birmingham men must have messages, for they. hold the people, Dr. George Stuart fills the First Methodist church twice each Sunday, and with it's immense seating capacity this is a big job. Dr. Henry M. Edmonds faces twice each Sunday as many people as can get into the places used for services. As illus eSSN'eNA NtSSiAA the minds and hearts of the people, it is said that in the recent campaign for the Red Cross a prominent citizen stated that if they did not stop George Stuart from talking about it he would give all he had to the cause.
 DR. STUART'S POWER
 I had heard that George Stuart held you by a sort of personal magnetism, combined with unusual histrionic ability which he uses without stint in the pulpit. After hearing him a time or two l agreed with this view to an extent, but saw that it was only part of the req son. To me he seems to get his power from an unusual earnestness in the pre- sentation of cause he fully agrees to and the doing of duty he knows to be vital There may be many things about Stuart that are peculiarly his own, but the final power of his preaching lies not in these, but in the real old-time religion that he presents.
 Take the question of dancing. It is not consistent with his views of church re- lationship, and he says so. But he says 50 with no sting to it. He just shows

BIRMINGHAM SITUATION

Personalities aside, however, the Bir- lningham situation is unique. There have been big preachers who held the crowds but it is difficult to recall that in any one city at any time has there been to O men at the same time so largely the leading interest of any community. The man who goes to Birmingham for a day or week tries to hear one or the other, or both. That is a part of his business, just as the musical man or woman goes to the metropolitan opera when in New York, or the student makes sure of look in on the Congressional library in Washington. Unusual as it certainly is, the show features of Birmingham, the 'must-be- -heards" of a great industrial center, are two preachers, both direct in their methods and earnest in their gen. eral attitude.
 l heard Stuart on Sunday last in the morning, Edmonds in the evening. Each took a Christmas text as befitted the season, and developed it in simple, prac. tical way. Each presented the cause of the Red Cross making those who hao become members stand up, and those who had not Each spoke of the war in perfect confidence as to the outcome in our favor, and each lifted to an all-high throne the cause of those who suffer. no matter whose trenches, or in which des- olation back home. And the people. in each case, hung on every word that was said They came early and seemed re- luctant to leave.
 So it is, I repeat, strange thing-al- belt a great thing-that the most talked or and most noticed and greatest of what newspaper men call features of Blrmlngham now are two preachers It ought not to be unusual, but it is.
