Popular Education In Russia.

The information included in the fol.
lowing was obtained from official
sources in Petrograd by Bassett Digby,
one Of the Daily News staff of foreign
correspondents:
Almost all Russian villages that
have a sufficient number of children
possess one or more schools. During
the last ten years the number Of
schools under the ministry Of national
education increased II per cent.
In 1915 that ministry introduced into
the duma a bill providing for compul-
sorry attendance at village schools for
all children. .Flfty-one per cent Of
those between the ages Of eight and
eleven years attend the schools. For
the last ten years the number Of per-
sons who know how to read and write
increased by per cent. The war has
stimulated the interest Of the popula-
ton in newspapers and schools.
As a rule the children who attend
school are from eight to eleven years
old. Generally they stay at school "a
hours a week. They are taught re-
ligion, the Slayonian and Russian Ian
guages, arithmetic and calligraphy.
They prepare their lessons at school.
The elder pupils study at home.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to ShriveI Up C0rns or Callus So They
 Lift or With the Fingers.

Ouch !! Y? :! This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cin- |cinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of drug called freezone when applied to tender, aching corn or hardened callus stops sore ness at once, and soon the corn or callus dries up and lifts right off without pain.
 He says freeZone dries immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any drug store, but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet. Millions of American women will welcome this announcement since the inaugura- tion of the high heels. If your drug gist doen't have freezone tell him to order a small bottle for you.--Adv.
