 They didn't wear khaki in that war;
 T know they didn't but their clothes were military all right, any way. I've bean wishing I could give Tim real nice present before he goes, something that he could use all the time, but he says that would be silly, that I must save every cent now for mother. No more high white kid shoes for me, dearie. Just plain lit tie working clothes for yours truly now until we win the war. Then maybe Tim will be bringing home a costume in the latest Paris fashions for me, what?"
 You'd joke about anything, you would, but you almost make me wish that had brother to go I tell you what I'd like to do.

TIM's SISTER

Miss Billingslea waited for the change 4mpatiently. She had found her mornings shopping trying. Three salesmen who for years had waited on her and who understood her tastes and temperament were ahSent. When she inquired rather sharply for them, she was told that they had gone to training camps. Their places had been filled by young women, and it was
 Miss Billingslea's experience that saleswomen were never so attentive to her wants as man clerks. She always preferred masculine service. It was annoying to have to.wait so long when she had so much to do in getting ready for her mountain trip
 I'm sorry, madam said the pretty young girl who had sold her half dozen pairs of outing gloves. There's probably some delay at the cashiers desk. I think your change will be here in a moment
 Miss BillingS1ea frowned. She SUD- posed that some inexperienced girl was being broken in at the cashiers desk at the expense of the custom

Tells how to loosen sore,

Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dis
pensing freezone, the ether discovery
of a Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn so it lifts out with
the fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for a quar-
ter ounce of freezone. which will cost
very little: but is said to be sufficient
to rid ones feet of every hard or soft
corn or callous.
You apply just few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the adjoin-
ing tissue.
This discovery will prevent thous-
ands of deaths annually from lock
