YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or caIIus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and Is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

NOT A "PARTY" WAR.

country is not divided--that standing to-

We believe it to be a happy occurrence that the

pubcans would have been too patriotic to have
hampered in any way the vigorous prosecution of
the war in order that they might gain little ad-
vantage in political way still. it is not bad
thing to have that temptation removed.
What will Woodrow Wilson do to prove that this
ocratic party? Will he rise to the level of real
patriotism and craftsmanship and place his ad-
vsory board men who in terms of fitness rank head
and shoulder above of the officials at the
head of various state departments? VIII Josephus

Wilson realize that now is the time for him to show
that he is a man of breadth? Will he call to his
council, members of the opposition party who have
demonstrated in the past that they are among Tho
most brilliant, capable men in the United States?

Word was received this week by
friends of the Malones, who left
shortly before Christmas to spend
the holidays with relatives in Min.
neapolis, that upon their arrival at
their destination they found a sis
ter of Mr.. Malone very ill with
congestion of the lungs. She was
much better at the time of Mr..
Malone's writing, but the letter
went on further to state that on
the 3lst of December at 3:l5 a. NJ,
Mrs. VIM. Malone, sister-in-law
had died of goitre and at 500 pm.
of the same day William Malone
had suffered paralytic stroke and
passed away. Both husband and
wife were buried in the same grave.
This chain of unexpected occur
rences turned an anticipated pleas
ant visit into very sad affair, but
their grief is palliated to great
degree on account of arriving in
time to meet and talk with their
relatives during their sickness and

DIRT KILLS OYSTERS.

These Bvaves Are the cIeanest Of All
Our Sea Foods.
The following facts about oysters are
given by member of a family that
has been connected with the oyster
trade for 300 years:
The average oyster before suitable
FOR consumption Is between three and
four years Of age. They are undoubt-
eddy the cleanest as we'll as the most
nutritious of fish, for it is fact that If
anything in the way of dirt gets into
the shell Of any oyster it Immediately
dies.
The embryo oyster when it is about
twelve months old is planted in the
most suitable waters. Tho young oys-
ters are taken out in fiat bottomed
boats, shoveled overheard in likely
spots and allowed to remain there till
they are stable and ready for catch
ing. This is dsne by means of dredges,
which go over the oyster beds with q
large rake arrangement dragging from
ropes on the bottom of the sea, the
oysters being thus forced from the bed
into the large nets fastened to the in
side of the rake,
The breeding powers Of oysters are
simply amazing. and 1t has been COM
puted that 1000 full grown parents
produce 440,000,000 embryos in the
course of year. But of these it is es-
timated that only 421 individuals reach
maturity, for the mortality is enor
nous, millions being washed away and
devoured by hungry fishes.-Bufalo
