CORNS ACTLIK
 APUSH BUTTON
TELLS WHY THEY ARE so PAIN. FUL AND HOW TO LIFT THEM
 RIGHT OUT

If you push on an electric button you form a contact with live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn it pushes it's sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get shock of pain.
 Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freeZone. This will cost very little but is suff1- cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn stops the soreness in- stantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all, without pain. This drug is harmless and never infiames or even trritates the surrounding tissue or skin.

 This is-no time for light talk. The sinking of the Laconia without warn ing. sending two unoffending and de- fenseless American women to a cruel death was the overt act. We are on the verge of war.

 Liberty Through Law.
 The United States stands for liberty through law. with infinite labor. with the expenditure of war blood, our fathers established institutions to as- sure to us the blessings of that prin- eiple. We had supposed that the problems of maintaining true liberty in this country was domestic prob tems. Hut when on that summer day In 1914, the German armies started their ominouz march. we learned in a nash~ that strong nations may still fight for what they covet. and that other nations with women and chill dren to protect. with institutions, rights and ideals to preserve must be prepared to fight for their defence and light as never before.
