prohibit the sale for slaughter OF
productive dairy cows and Ohio farm
ers will be urged to increase the num-
ber Of dairy cows.

HERE'S AN EXAMPLE
FOR AMERICAN FATHERS
tBv F. W Forrest)

(United Press staff Correspondent
PARIS. May 3. - If the world war
drags on until American youths have
fought and fallen in France, Ameri-
,an fathers can listen to the example
set for them by Sergeant Jean Gag
lio, the 62-year old poilu of the Third
Zouaves.
His grey hair showing under the
tassled red fez of the famous Afri-
can regiment which has fought from
the campaign Of Tunis to erdun, Ser
geant Gagiio is today somewhere in
France still getting vengeance from
the enemy for the death of his 81.
year-old son.
When the war commenced the son
marched away with his fathers old
regiment. the Third Zouaves. Before
a month had passed the son occupied
a soldiers grave in Belgium. The
news soon reached the father. With
out hesitation the red pants and the
red fez of the Iouaves We're donned
by the aged Gaglio and he hurried di-
rect to the old regiment to fill the
very place left vacan, by the German
bullet which took his only boy.
Five war medals today hang on the
old mans breast. Defying the enc
my and death hundreds of times Gag
lilo has taken toll for his loss and his
medals are evidence. He never takes
them off. Seriously wounded in the
French assault at Tracy-iyt-Val he
was carried to a hospital. Surgeons
shook their heads and order his i'm
mediate discharge from the army.
But the old poilu mastered his wound
and demanded the privilege of retak-
ing his place in the line.
Gaglio rejoined his regiment when
the German hordes of the Grown
Prince we're throwing their full force
toward Verdun. He is one of those
men whose names will live immortal
in France for having stemmed the
German tide.
After Fort Vaux had fallen the old
soldiers regiment was transferred to
the defense of the works of Thiau-
mont and the village of Fleury The
furious struggle here for days was
the talk of the world. Gaglio was
in it all. 1t won him the rank of
sergeant 1t also gave him the Med
allie Militaire, the fifth evidence of
bravery to grace his tunie. Here is
how the army order spoke OF Gag
NO;
Engaged in the regiment to re-
place his son who has been killed by
the enemy Has never ceased to give
the greatest example of courage and
abnegation and to show his white
hair in the first ranks. Wounded, he
has gained the rank of Corpral in
February at Louvemont and that of
sergeant in the heavy fighting at
Fleury."
Gaglio is still at the Germans and
getting more revenge for the death
of that son.

New Foot Remedy Causes
Big Stir Among Druggists.

Since the virtues of Ice-M as a
foot remedy became known in this
country druggists have been having an
extraordinary demand for this product
and it is predicted that foot troubles
will soon be a thing of the past.
In experimenting with Ice Mint in the
treatment of corns and callouses it
was found that just little applied to
tender aching corn or callus would
instantly stop the pain or soreness and
that in a short time the corn or CAL
lous would shirvel and loosen so that
1t could easily be lifted out with the
fingers--roots and all-leaving the
surrounding skin in normal, healthy
condition. In minor cases Of foot
troubles. such as tender, tired, aching,
burning swollen feet it was found that
just a little rubbed on the feet in the
morning would keep them cool, easy
and comfortable during the entire day.
Ice Mint Is a clean creamy, snow
white, non poisonous substance that
will not inflame or irritate the most
tender skin. The active ingredients of
this product are imported from Japan
where the people have the healthiest,
best -cared-fO little feet in the world.
Ice Mint Is a clean, creamy, snow
ful feeling to the feet that it has be-
come very popular with ladies who
wear high heel shoes and with men
who have to stand on their feet all
day. Ice Mint can be obtained from
any druggist at small cost and one lar
will be sufficient to rid you of every
corn or callous and put your feet in
fine condition. Just try 1t. You'll
like 1t Immensely.
