With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
will apply on the corn a few drops OF
%freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get q small bot
tie of f%reezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet Of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit Of pain or soreness.
II your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get q small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

No Dogma in the Trenches.

There is an increasing universalism In
religion in the trenches that must be felt
when the war ends, according to an article
by the Rev. Vivian g.. Simmons in the
Jewish Chronicle of London. The writer,
O young ewish soldier, asserts the Jew,
the Wesleyan, the Episcopalian and the
Catholic are all brothers in the trenches,
with mutual understanding ard common
aims and hopes.
AS a result of this men and women
of all denominations are going to inter-
mingle in their work and play immeas-
urably more than they nave hitherto
DONE he says. Religion at the front
has been reduced to fundamentals. There
is no place there for dognas or creeds.
Rightly, prejudice, sentimental adherence
to the obsolete and outworn-these things
have gone.

Monastery, Where one of my colleagues
was stationed about a year ago, the

conducted the service, and my colleague

Are not such things eloquent of what

Shooting Elyina Fish.
From the Fresno Herald.

g1H tTOm the Fresno Herald.
Avalon, Santa Catalina Jsland-"I
could stand here and shoot flying fish
II the ship was sinking" said J. G. Dig
gins. musical instrument magnate OF
Chicago.
Diggins is a crack rifle shot and I'M
doubtedly the best marksman among
the millionaire sportsmen who come to
Catalina every season to hunt and fish.
He has bagged as many as Al flying
fish in a single day and has shot three
straight without a single miss.
These strange creatures of the deep,
which both swim and fly, average IA
inches in length. 1t is said the mono
plane is patterned after the flying fish.
They r hunted from the ~speediest
kind of motor craft. most famous Of
which is the huge Catalina Filler, skip
pered by Capt. Joe McAfee, veteran
sea hunter of the Catalina banks.
Captain McAfee's boat is equipped
with q 100-horse power motor and
makes a speed Of 20 knots in the open
sea. He takes many millionaire sports
men out, some of whom come from the
far orner Of the earth especially to
shoot fish.
With the boat pitching in a heaving
sea and the fish springing out of the
water at most unexpected places, n
man may well be proud of his marks
manship who tallies a dozen hits out
of a box of cartridges. A small caliber
rifle is used in this sport and a man
must shoot with open sights.

STORM STRIKES
SHIP WITHOUT WARNING

San Juan, Porto Riso-The most 90
we're storm that the captain Of that
vessel, eve experienced struck an
American vessel about 500 miles out
Of New York ON the last trip to the
Wes- Indies. Although little damage
was done, everybody was pretty badly
faken up. Because h captain re-
celved no warning from the weather
bureau he thinks that the storm must
nave originated about where it struck,
his vessel.
The gale hit the steamer about A p.
m. Thursday and before 8 that night
It had reached a velocity of about I30.
miles an hour The captain was par
tally prepared for what was coming
by the astounding fall in the barom-
IN spite of every effort made by the
crew to make things tight, the sea got
INTO some of h staterooms and every
ling was d~renched. Some OF the port
holes IN the bow were stove in and
all the awnings carried away. The
wireless aerial was swept away early
IN the storm n the stays of the masts
were broken SO that it was feared that
these would be taken away too.
The vessel was forced to head right
into the teeth of the gale and such was
n force of the wind that the steam
er, covered only Is miles in "a hours
during the gale. The storm abated
about z a. m. and the steamer en-
tered San Juan harbor in safety.
Though there was no one injured,
n passengers We're so grateful to the
expressing deep appreciation and
gratitude for his able seamanship and
management of the ship during the
dangerous tempest.

The Mourners.

A loan shark sat on his empty safe:
He was down to his utmost dime.
And he gazed across at a vacant cafe
(Let 1t stand, for we need the rhyn1e)
And he dropped three tears on his shirt

For a loan shark, is going some),
And he. walled: Alas, / was good and

He used to harry the boys in here,
At the end of each perfect day,
And stood around with a iovial leer
While l garnered their weekly pay.
But they've cancelled the good old gin
mills lease,
And emptied its shining shelves,
And all OF the lads that / used to fleece
Are spending their coin Themselves"
And puffed at a cheap cigar
As he gazed at a hungry Croton bug
That " up In iron bar.
Dear me-" he said, with a choking sob.

SERUM FOR RAT-BITE FEVER
Japanese Physicians Declare Cure 10
Obtained From Veins Of Persons
Who Have Recovered.

A group of eminent Japanese doc
,ors has been busy studying .rat-bite
fever YER since Futaki, Ishiwara and
their associates reported two years ago
the discovery Of the microbe that
causes 1t. This is a spirochete, So
called because it's form is spiral or
zig-zag. Several types Of this spiro-
chete were found Ia men who had been
bitten by rats, and in guinea pigs that
had been experimentally inoculated.
These We're identified by Futaki as in
all probability identical.
Doctors Renjiro, Kaneko and Kikuzo
Okuda of the Imperial university in
Kyushu, Fukuoka, Japan, contribute
to the journal of Experimental Medi-
cine a confirmation Of Futaki's belief /;
Doctor Rokichi. Inada contributes a
description of the disease Doctors Yu-
TAXA lido, Rokuto Holt, Hiroshi Ito and
Hidetsune Wani describe experiments
that prove the rat to be the common
rhagfca, as the microhe of the disease
is called; and Doctors Yatuka lido, Hi
roshi Ito, Hidetsune Want and Kikuzo
Okuda discuss the possibility of pro-
ducing immunity.
The latter go into details Of their
experiments and come to the conclu-
sion that the "serum of persons who
have recovered from rat-bite fever con-
tains an immune body which destroys
the spiroehetes of that disease"
The Importance Of these articles lies
in the final proof that this spirochete
is the cause Of the fever, that rats are
