people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati

of drug called freezone when applied

lus stops soreness 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
one's feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the Inauguration of the high heels. If

The Heart of
a Man
BY LAURA JEAN LIBBEY
Copyright, 1879

N1opyIlent, 15li.)
Let's not unman each other-part at once;
All farewells should be sudden, when
forever
Else they make an eternity of moments.
And clog the last sad sands of life with
tears.
Who can attempt to understand the
heart of a man? Even the mother
that bore him cannot plumb its depths,
or gauge its capacity for different af-'
fections. Just the girl his mother
thinks he should be interested in he
is entirely Indifferent to. The woman
who does appeal to him is the last
one on earth whom his friends think
he could care for. This is conclusive
proof that no one can select a heart
mate for another with any degree of
certainty that each will be entirely
suited
Men are different from women.
They seldom make love a study. The
majority of romantic women have
their day dreams, and have concluded
just what sort of man will suit
them. They have little or no trouble
In realizing 1t when a man of this kind
who fills the bill comes along. Love
is to man thing apart He Is too
busy getting his bread and butter to
waste time in conjuring up the style
of girl he likes best. He doesn't think
of that part of it. He leaves it to
fate, fortune or the good fairies that
are supposed to govern love affairs.
Ten to one it's the woman with whom
he is thrown in contact who makes
the first impression upon his untu-
tored heart. 1t depends very much up
on the cleverness of the woman as to
whether she will turn the tide of his
liking into friendship or affection.
Mans heart is as impressionable as a
baby's. Many of them merely need
the intimation that their hearts have
ally believe 1t. For as man think
eth, so he Is. 1t does not take words
for a clever girl to cause a man to
think that she believes he Is In love.
A clever girl once said to a young
man in whom she was interested and
VIM tuliCu NY ITO uIu Sltl DOlHO-
how 1 expected you here this evening.
You came into my thoughts very much
during the day. That is said to mean
that you were thinking of me-" He had
CHANGED to see a girl who resembled
her while on his way to business that
morning. That caused him to remem-
Der her. His presence there that eve
ming was the impulse that came to him
to step in as he was passing She ac-
tually made him believe there was
more to his resolve than he had i'm
agined. He pondered so long and Sc
riously over that remark that he came
to believe they must be intended for
each other. She had played upon the
right strings of that particular mans
heart. Every man is capable of low
ing, If the chord Is touched by the
right woman.

GETTING Oil From Needles.

Investigations of the yield and the
value Of cedar oil obtainable from some
of our southern and western trees have
been made by the forest service partly
with a view to the possible utilization
of waste material left after lumber
ing in the national forests.
In these Investigations, longleaf and
western yellow pine leaves produce the
most promising results. hut the needle
oils obtained from these pines did not
surpass the already firmly established
spruce and hemlock oils.
The large quantities of needles and
twigs on forest service timber sale
areas are not only sheer waste, but
also form a special fire hazard. An in
creased market for leaf oil would make
possible the utilization of some of
this waste material.

Fish and Game Protection.

Something like a score of fish, game

been organized in Indiana within the
last few weeks under the auspices of
the Indiana fish and game commits
sion, and there Is the report of splen-
did cooperation by farmers, deputy
game wardens and others for the pro-
lection of native wild animals and the
preservation of birds that destroy the
insect pests. 1t Is probable that the
fish and game laws In Indiana were
never so well enforced as at the pres
ent time. There are still occasional
ihfractions, of course, but the activity
of the game wardens and the changed
public attitude which now seeks to
help rather than hinder this work are
showing most excellent results.-Fort

Keeping Sheep Warm.

Through the ingenuity of certain
ranchers in the state of Washington
their sheep were kept warm during
the intensely cold weather of last
year by a most unusual device. A
supply Of natural gas on the land
where the sheep grazed had been piped
and the gas issued from 1t at high
pressure. The ranchmen in the vi
cinity devised metal hood which they
fastened over the upper end of the
pipe. When the gas was lighted and
allowed to flow freely 1t made a ciI-
cular canopy of flame which heated the
air for a considerable area. In this
warmed region the sheep gathered
and were kept warm in weather that
would otherwise have proved fatal.

MUSIC WILL HELP INVALID
Physicians Are Beginning to Believe
More and More in the Good Effects
of Sweet Strains.

During the thirteenth century, when
the Arabs dominated a large portion
of Europe and were carrying the
torch of learning" through that period,
they established great hospitals for
the treatment of all kinds of ailments.
A striking feature of some of these
hospitals was n music room, where
musicians played continuously through
out the "a hours for the benefit of the
patients. The Arab physicians of that
day believed that music had a very
positive therapeutic effect.
Recently an analysis of the effects
of various types of music has been
made by DR.. Thomas J. Mays, which
may be epitomized as follows: Ma
jor music is tonic to the emotions
which may be compared to stimulant
dose of strychnine or quinine, while
minor music depresses emotional ac-
tvity In manner comparable to bro
mide or sleeping potion. The ap-
parent objections to this theory are
easily met; and Doctor Mays believes
thdt as uh uEtul III Nht titdl
ment of consumption has probably a
stronger claim on the scientific atten-
ton of the medical profession than
many Of the remedies that are in use
at the present time Keeping in mind
the undercurrent of tribulation and
oppression that is nearly always pres
ent in the minds of those suffering
from consumption, it would seem prob
able that by far the larger number Of
cases would receive benefit from vari-
GUS forms of major music. And the
same would be true of any form of
chronic disease.
For stages of high mental or nerv-
GUS tension. minor music is indicated.
And in this connection it is significant
that music has been one of the thera-
peutic measures used In all our great
insane asylums for more than a gener-
alton.
