Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
Up Corns or Calluses SO They
Lift of With Fingers.

Ouch ! ?!?! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town
if people troubled with corns will fol-
low the simple advice of this Gin
cinnati authority, who claims that a
few drops of a drug called freezone
when applied to a 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 f~reezone dries Immediate
ly and never .infiames or even irri-
tates the surrounding skin. A small
bottle OF freezone will cost very lit
tie at any drug store, but will posi-
lively remove every hard OF soft
corn or callus from ones feet. Mil
lions of American women will well
come this announcement since the
inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone
tell him to order a small bottle for
you.-Adv. :.

Floor Plan.

easier to get the sun into every part
OF the house than it is when the house
is wider. The length, Of course, makes
no difference in this respect.
The foundation Of the building Is
concrete and a concrete floor is spread
owe the entire surface with proper
cutters formed along the length Of the
building on each side Of the central
passage. Troughs shown on the plan
may also be built Of concrete, the
forms required for their construction
being exceedingly simple. A concrete
floor in a hoghouse is almost an abso-
lutte necessity, but it is too cold for
hogs to sleep on. For this reason, the
nests are placed on loose, wooden
floors which may be moved about for
cleaning. These floors are about half
the size Of the pens. There should be
q ridge around the edge Of each floor
to hold the bedding.
: The upper windows are pivoted so
n number of them may be pulled
open for ventilation. With five shoats
in each pen, the house will be warm
enough to have some Of the windows
open most Of the time. Of course,
hogs need ventilation just as much as
n other animal in order that they
may maintain their good health.
The pens are divided with .solidly
constructed fencing, space between
boards being sufficient to allow a free

Nearly every winter there are a
large number Of farmers and stock
men who become convinced that the
profitable raising Of swine requires a
well designed and carefully construct
ed winter hog house. The spring fol-
lowing a hard winter finds these men
planning for the construction OF such
q building, which they erect during
the warm weather In readiness for the
next winter.
Fall pigs must be carried through
the winter to get the money value out
Of them. A few pigs may be left to
root around the straw stacks, but rails
ing good hogs to make money requires
careful planning to breed two filters
a year, at the right time to fit in with
the seasons.
The breeding plan on most well-con-
Quoted stock farms divides the farrow-
ing between April for spring pigs, and
October for winter pigs. October far

Glass Of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuIces of the system each
morning and wash away tho
poisonous, stagnant matter. e

Those of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a
cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can, instead,
both look and feel as fresh as a
.laisy always by washing the poisons
and toxins from the body with phos-
plated hot water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary tract before
putting more food into the stomach
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases
waste and acidity and gives n a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate will: cost very little

is THE PRESIDENTS CHURCH
Many Prominent Men Have. Worshiped
at St. Johns In National
: Capital.

Historic St Johns Protestant Epis-
copal church, just across Lafayette
square from the White House, In
which more presidents and men prom
inent in Washington official life have
worshiped than In any other church
in the national capital, has celebrated
its centennial anniversary. The pres
emit rector Is Rev. Roland Cotton
Smith.
st. Johns was the first building to
be erected on Lafayette square after
the White House, which was completed
in 1900, the Christian Herald observes.
The presidents Of the United States
who worshiped here were John Quincy
Adams, Madison, Monroe, Van Buren,,
William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor,
Fillmore and Arthur, and in more re-
cent times the WHITE House vas repre-
sented by Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Taft, who made st. Johns church their
church home
Other prominent people were regu-
larly seer in the congregation, includ-
ing Stephen Decatur, Henry Clay,
John C. Calhoun, Chief Justice Fuller,
Salmon P. Chase, Benjamin F. Butler,
Lewis Cass, George Bancroft, Winfield
Scott and George Dewey. Its rectors
oficiated at nearly all Of the early
White House weddings, many notable
mes having taken place within Its
sacred walls.
The denominations have been pretty
well represented in the presidency.
Grant attended the Metropolitan Meth
odist church, Mckinley the Foundry
Methodist church; Benjamin Harrison
and Cleveland attended the Presby-
terrain church; Wilson is a Presby'
terrain and, like Cleveland, the son of q
Presbyterian minister; Garfield was a
member Of the Disciples church and
Roosevelt attended the Dutch Re
formed church.

circulation Of air. Strong gates with
sliding bolt locks are placed at the
corner Of each pen next to the central
passage. The remainder of the front
Of each pen is taken up with the
trough, above which a swinging gate
is hinged to swing into the pen, a slid
ing rod stop being dropped down
against the inside edge of the trough
to hold the gate open while the trough
is being filed. The same slide rod
locks the gate shut when it is dropped
down against the outside edge Of the
trough.
This building Is framed in a simple
yet rigid manner. The roof is sup
ported by the two outside walls and
by two inside bents which define the
central passage. The extension of one
of these bents forms the wall in which
the p.voted windows are framed. A
vertical post is set at the inner corners
Of each pen. The plate surrounding
these posts supports the rafters. Lat
eral bracing is spiked to the posts and
to the outer wall studs and also to the
two rows of posts Immediately beneath
the plate below the pivoted windows.
The foundation under the two rows of
posts Is not continuous, but consists
Of a concrete pier carried down to a
solid footing under each Of the posts
These piers are placed at the time Of
building the floor. One very good
method consists in embedding metal
sockets Of suitable size in the soft
concrete above the piers in the exact
location Of the posts which will then
be held firmly in place in the. finished
building.
The floor plan illustration also pre-
sents q suggestion for the fencing and
open pens which might be used In
connection with this building. The
open pens are formed between the
south side Of the building and the
main ~inclosing fence, which is IL feet
from the building on this side. Nov
able fences are set up to divide on
the pens. On the opposite side OF
the building the inclosing fence is built
close to the wall to form q runway,
near the center Of which it is intend
ed that a dipping vat be constructed.
This illustration also shows a feed
and litter track installation. The track
is continuous through the building and
out at each end, across the Enclosure

to the gates in line with the end doors
Of the building.
There are hundreds of farms where
larger, animals wearing thick hairy
coats are carefully housed through the
winter, while the hogs with practically
no hair to protect them, are left with
only a loose board roof over them.
There are farmers who SEEM to be-
Ieve that a hog is tough and that a
certain amount Of abuse Is good for
them. Hogs are the most abused Of
all domestic animals and yet they are
the most profitable when handled in
telligently.

lems that have imbedded themselves in our present system There must be eventually municipal markets, or market departments run by local gov ernm ents. There must be better rail road facilities to get the products of the farms to the city. There must be better means of storage and re- frigeration. There must be so many about change. But the American people have another and simpler rem edy. They have the power to curb their appetites. They have the in telligence to make a complete study of the food problem from their own personal standpoint.

FERRYBOAT HIT BY
 BIG STEEL STEAMER
Fretghter Continues Progress and Prevents Passenger Ship From
 Going to Bottom.

New York, Feb. 21.-As the big ferry boat Scandinavia of the Del aware, Lackawanna & Western Rail- road was blowing her way against a heavy tide across the North River from the Barclay street slip to Ho- boken at o'clock last night with $50 passengers aboard, she was rammed in mid-stream by the steel freighter Joaquin Mumbru of the Spanish Line, which was outward bound
 The force of the blow sent the nose of the freighter crashing through the woman's cabin of the ferryboat at point amidship. These were seventy five of the passengers in the cabin, and thirteen were injured-none seri- ously. Men and women struggled to obtain life preservers. and several were cut and bruised slightly. A number of women tainted. Hats. coats, pocketbooks. and handbags were found scattered about on the floor of the cabin by the crew as evil dence of the panic which occurred.
 The freighter was in tow of three tugboats, and one of hem, the Daza- lind, in charge of Captabn Albert Ben nett, cut loose and brought those more seriously hurt to the Christo- pher Street slip Manhattan, where ambulances from St. Vincent's hos pital were waiting
 The boats came together with such force that the bow of the freighter remained fast in the side of the Scan dinavia, and nasty examination showed that the ferry had been dam eed badly below the water line. The captain of the freighter gave the

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally. says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites he kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma- tism, headaches, liver trouble, ner- vousness, dizziness sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. com bind with lithia, and has been used flor generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness

Mrs. Schoenaur, who is about forty years old, was returning from work and went across the lot to shorten the distance home. Supposed to have been acquainted with her custom, her assailant awaited her in the gloom of some bushes struck her behind the ear as she passed, put the other hand over her mouth and knocked her down.

''No good cause ever suffered from publicity and no bad cause but instinc- lively avoids It." This statement from the able pen of Dr. Charles Elliott, president emeritus of Harvard University, is particularly applicable at this time. The light of publicity should play on all great movements
 pr. Elliott's position should enlist the attention of the reading, thinking pub until an attitude is obtained that will prove conductive to the social and moral health of the masses. Such an end, dcsira ble as it is, cannot be ob- tained without persistent, self -sacri- ficing effort. There must be the con- sistency of antipathy to secrecy and a stern, relentless warfare waged for publicity. Mere sentimentalism and theorizing will avail nothing. Such a course has been followed too long already. The good of any institution
 must be maintained and published as freely as possible; but the bad should
 be acknowledged and expunged as
