 A small bottle of sffceZone costs very little at any .esdrug store, but will positively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surround ing skin.

Her Family Was Told by Doctors That She Would
 Die and Children Were Summoned to Her Bedside

Many wonderful Inducements have been given Tanlac, but the statement made by Mrs. G. w. Williams, of Gadsden, Alabama, is in many respects so remarkable as to be almost incredible. Her com plete statment follows:
 For nearly fifteen years I have had kidney trouble. l also had stomach trouble and suffered from nervous indigestion. I could take no nourishment except a little sweet milk, and would have palpitation of the heart and nervous headaches and terrible pains in my sides and back. I got so weak I had to take to my bed, and l stayed there IS months. Doctors called two or three times day, but I kept get ting worse and fell off until I was almost skeleton and had to be turned in bed, and only weighed 90 pounds.
 My husband spent more than $500 trying to get me well. Final ly, I got so bad I was told that I could live only few days. I be- lieved, of course, that l was going to die, and told my husband to telc- graph Thomasville, N. C., for my son and to Atlanta and BirWing- ham for my other children.

MEXICO PLANNING
 NEW REVOLUTION
Obregon, Diaz and Villa May Form Alliarce-Carranza Takes Re-
 port Seriously.

Fl Paso, March 16.-Unusual ac tivities among the group of former Mexican federal generals, coupled with the operations of mon known to be close to General Alvaro Ob- |regon have caused the United States government officials here to take seriously the reports of new political movement in Mexico, led by Obregon.
 The appearance of supposed Ob- regon agents here and in Juarez following the resignation of Obre- gon agents and the crossing of several former federal generals along the Sonora-C Chihuahua limo has caused the secret service agents here to become unusually active. A former general of Obregon's staff has been in frequent conference here and in Juarez in with civil and military officials of the Car ranza government. Another agent has been operating west of here and reports from Sonora tonight say that the entire state is roady to go over to Obregon if he takes the field against Carranza.
 Carranza officials here and the commanders in Juarez continue to insist that Obregon is loyal to Car ranza and is only retiring from his provisional cabinet because of i'll health. Rumors of other changes in the Carranza cabinet. including the replacing of several ministers friendly to Obregon with men close Ito Carranza has tended to strength en the report of dissension within the Carranza government.
 What part Felix Diaz and Villa will play in the new movement is not known, although it is believed that Villa will not be considered

TO PLACE ISSUE
 OF NOTES JULY. 2
State Debt Board Will Open Bids On That Datc-LoW Rate of
 Interest Expected.

Little Rock, March 19.-Accord- ing to decision made by the debt hoard, the S75O,O00 note issue au thori2ed by act of the legislature will be sold July 2. The act au- thorizes 5 per cent interest, but members of the board believe that much lower rate can be obtained.
 Representatives of group Of Little Rock banks have offered to take the entire issue at per cent, Wearing all expenses of negotiation, ihcluding the cost of printing, and tke Grand Lodge of Woodmen or tile World has offered to take the isAie at per cent. It is possible that the board will hold out for 3 1-2 per cent.
 The act authorizing the loan car 'rHd an appropriation of S50,00o, fof which $3O,000 is interest for the first year and the remainder to bear the expenses of negotiating the loan.
 Governor Brough says that he hopes to sell the entire issue in Ar kansas. Bidders will be required to file certified checks of $2,50O each with their bids.
 Of the $75O,O00 raised by the note issue, all the deficiency ap- hropriation bills passed by the last legislature, amounting to about SsOO,OOO, will be paid, and prob ably half the $100,000 appropria- ton for the state normal admlnls- tration building. The remainder will be used for the expenses of state government from April l to July l, which probably will re- ouire the entire balance.
 Tho notes will be issued in de- nominations of $500 and $1,0O0, and the board decided to begin re- tiring them in 1923. The amount to be retired annually was not de- cided.
 Tho board talso adopted resolu- tion5 to retire the 3 per cent com mon school and University or Ar kansas endowment bonds and reis- sue them at , per cent. Appro- priation has been made for the in terest on the bonds at 5 per cent for the current year, but defi- ciency appropriation will be made by the 1919 legislature for the 1918 interest.
 Hogan Oliver, state auditor, was elected secretary of the board, and |C. Hamilton Moses, secretary to the governor, assistant secretary.

FRENCH VICTORY
 BIGGEST IN YEAR

Paris, March 1S-The seventeenth of March will remain among the most memorable days of the war, in the opinion of the French, who regard the success on the front from est since the battle of the Marne.
 It is considered not merely To- cal success, but a veritable strategic retreat forced upon the Germans, the. full consequences of which probably will not be revealed for several days.
 The fact that the French at cer- tain points went beyond the road from Rove to Noyon indicates that the German retreat will not end there.
 ''The Germans still are at Noy- on," a favorite phrase of the par liamentary opponents of the gov ernment who sought to impress up on it the fact that the Germans were only 67 miles from Paris, now will have to be abandoned.
 It would be difficult to say, mil itary critics assert, where the Ger mans propose to establish stable defense. The retreat of modern armies, unencumbered with great supplies of material can be effect cd only with extreme slowness, which permits an active and reso- lute adversary to maintain contact unceasingly.
 This is the first occasion since the armies have been established on the western front that French vil- .lages have been evacuated by the Germans and occupied by the French and English.
 Bapaume, Rove, Lassigny and many villages in Picardy and Artois, which for two years have not seen French uniforms, now can witness the tri~color of their country and the flag of their allies.
 The victorious entry of the French into Rove on the heels of the retiring Germans was marked by stirring incidents, in which 800 liberated citizens participated, re- gardless of danger.
 The inhabitants threw themselves in front of the arriving French sol diers. all shouting as they did so, "vive la France!" Women hug eed them while old people grasped their hands. Tears were in the eyes of all when suddenly 12-year-old boy began singing the Marseillaise which was taken up instantly by the population.
 Ohrushing waves of soldiers join cd in and it was to the strains or the national anthem that the French outposts left Rove, pressing the retreating Germans.
 The general feeling. is that the adversary has suffered severe blow and may have still greater consequences. The French and British advance was made over ground measuring approximately 80 kilometers (about 53 miles) and may be extended at some points where artillery actions have been exceedingly intense in the last few days.

POTATO CRIBS NOT PRACTICAL.
One Burlington Owner Says Top Layer
Only Will Come to Maturity.

Burlington, Aug. 25. - Those potato
cribs that were started so enthusiastical
ly last spring by local amateur garden
ers, are not progressing as hopefully as
many of them expected. Indeed it ap-
pears likely that for the most part the
experimenters will have their trouble
for their pains. To be sure, the top row
OF the potatoes will come to maturity,
without doubt; but the layers under
near have made little progress and show
no signs of maturing.
One crib visited yesterday showed a
luxurious growth of potato stalks on
the top of the crib, with here and there
a scraggy shoot of green through the
Stats at the side of the crib. Aside
from this, there is nothing to indicate
that close to bushel of seed was plant
ed in each crib two months ago.
NO, the experiment. said the owner
of one crib yesterday, bids fair to be
failure, for perfectly natural reasons. A
potato, as well as any other vegetable,
needs light and air to mature fully. 1t
cannot get either of these essentials in
a crib
