UNCLE SAM BIG FOOD BUYER
Board Bill for Country's Soldiers Soon
viii Be 100000 a Day, It
Is Estimated.

"War has made Uncle Sam the big
gest buyer of food In this country and
the board bill for his soldiers will be
100000 II day" according to Charles
Lathrop Pack, president Of the nation
al emergency food garden commission
Of Washington.
1--WE are to have two million men un-
der arms shortly, according to the best
reports. At 40 cents day 1t will be
seen what that means, True, these
men ate before becoming soldiers ia
make the world safe for democracy
They doubtless ate more than 40 cents
worth duly, which Uncle Sam figures
is the cost per man, but you must re-
member that these men have suddenly
become non.producers and they must
be fed. The army is making great
plans for camouilage to deceive the
eyes Of the enemy, but you cannot de-
ceive a soldiers stomach. He must
have real food,
81 am told that the reserve stock
of foodstuffs at each camp is S125, 900
and there are SS camps in the coun.
Try today; that means that food valued
at S4,126,000 is taken out of the regu.
lar channels of the trade. These fig.
ures give only an idea Of the need OF
food conservation on the part Of the
individual at this time"

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain


You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once q week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use q drug called freezone, which
the moment q few drops are applied
to any corn or callous the soreness Ia
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callous, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment 1t is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callous without inflaming or even ir-
ritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle Of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but will positively rid ones
feet Of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callous. II your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get 1t at
any Wholesale drug house for you.

W0OD SUBSTITUTES
STEADILY FAVORED
Uncle Sans Sudden Demand for
Lumber Does Not Change
Situation.
PRICES ARE NOT LOWERED
Timber Shortage Reported In Many
Regions and There Is Need for
Growing Forests Larger
Than Planned.

|
Growing Forests Larger
Than Planned.
\ Twenty-Five years ago lumber was re-
garded as almost as much Of neces-
sity as wheat, while today 1t Is stead
lily being replaced by various substl-
tutes, says a report by the forest serv-
Ice on "fhe Substitution of Other Ma
terlals for Wood"
Disregarding the temporary effect
of the war, with Uncle Sans sudden
demand for lumber and its great en-
hancement of prices Of many substi-
tute materials, the report points out
the tendency in the long run. Each
year more steel, concrete, brick, or tile
Is being used in places where lumber
was formerly employed. This Is par
ticularly true in cities where enact
ment of building codes and the devel-
opment of new forms Of construction
have created demand for more dur
able building material. Shingles have
given way largely to composition and
tile rootings, wooden sidewalks have
been almost wholly replaced by ce-
ment while the modern skyscraper
with Its steel framework and stone,
brick, or tile walls occupies the site
Of some former frame structure. Rail
rOad crosstes and mine props are
about the only forms Of wood which
are not affected.
How hard this substitution has hit
the lumber business Is shown by the
government estimate that the total re-
placement of lumber in all forms OF
use Is 8,090,000,000 board feet, or q
per cent of the lumber consumption of
the United States In 1915. The rate
Of substitution seems to be increasing
and Is now In excess Of 100000. 600
board feet year. Approximately 70
per cent of the lumber cut goes into
forms of use whose demands appear
to be decreasing. Twenty per cent
more goes Into strongly competitive
fields. In the remaining 10 per cent
OF wood uses, there seems to be a
much better opportunity for n larger
consumption,
Prices Steadily Advance.

the stands Of local timber and dlscoy-
ery Of new sources for the manufac.

given rs some of the reasons for these
changes. More tban 75 per cent of
