YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say TO the drug store man,
Give me small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender.
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all. dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

Hobson Advocates Giant Navy.

The two houses heard brilliant
address by Richmond Pearson Hob.
son last week, in which the hero OF
the Merrimac urged navy that
would outpoint Germany on the At
lantic and Japan on the Pacific. the

British. The speaker warned the leg
islators against over-confidence and
said II would cost this country bill
lions more to GUST an enemy that
landed here than 1t would to safe.
guard the country from such inva.
sion.
Shortly after the legislators had
heard ilobson and had shaken hands
with him and complimented him upon
his speech the senate had resoM-
ton presented to memorabilia con
gress to equip navy that could ade-
quately defend the country. The
house, however, staged red hot
aciist-preparedness debate over
bill by Rep.~Culyer to establish op-
tional military courses in high schools
and finally defeated the bill By a vote
OF ~ 70 So.

prospect at present in the Capitol. The

The shipping commission Is one Of
the pets Of the administration against
which the Republicans will array them
selves, and while they admit they can
not repeal the law creating the COM
mission, they hope to find some way to
stop the commission from going ahead
and involving the country In q great

Blu Price but Good Islands.

The Danish West Indies are now un.
der the Stars and Stripes. The Demo-
cratic administration paid $25,OOO,OOO
for these islands. on which the last Re
publican congress Set value of one
fifth of that amount. This gives rise
to two reflections: first, the extrava-
gance Of the modern Democrat, and
second, the hope that the deal will be
better for all concerned-better for
Denmark. which gets such good price
for her possessions; better for the is
landers. who will be a part of the
American nation, and better for Amer
ica. who thus safeguards her coast
from attack from abroad.

An un.Ameriean System.

The American system of protection
of sugar allows the price of sugar to
be based on the import price Of the
raw material. In that manner all
sugar pays the ddty, although only
part passes the customhouse. The I'M
American system Of taxing sugar puts
q consumption tax on all domestic SUI
gar to balance the customs. In that
manner the treasury gets all the tax
instead of half of 1t. Where the holt
of the tax goes which the treasury does
not get sufficiently appears from the
swollen profits of the domestic pro
ducers.
