YES! LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT
PAIN!

Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so 1t lifts of
with fingers
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before
says this Cincinnati authority, be-
cause few drops of freezone applied
directly on tender. aching corn or
callus, stops soreness at once and
soon the corn or hardened callus
loosens so it can be lifted out, root
and ALL without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off very hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get small bottle
for you from his wholesale drug
house. 1t is fine stuff and acts like
charm every time.

GOOD TIME TO WAIT

Judge James Ashe, while in Lewiston last week,
announced that he would be candidate for United
States senator to succeed William E. Borah. He an
nounced at the time that he would not enter upon
a campaign for the nomination until later.
In this conclusion to his for the pres
ent Judge Ashe shows good judgment and good
poIitics The two are always closely related; they
mean practically the same thing in this instance
There is likely to be wonderful shaking up in
politics country before another senator is elected
in Idaho Old political landmarks being swept
in great style these days. 1t is than possible that
an entirely new lineup may be presented two years
from now Men who Numerically opposed to each
If is not easy to imagine FRANC R. Goodng and Gov Al
exander for illustration; John F. Nugent and Judge
Ashe drinking out of the canteen politically
speaking but stranger things than that have happened
Aside from all this, people taking no interest
in party politics just now. They have matters of far
more important consider They willing to let the
unimportant matters drift while they settle problems
that involve the very life of the nation.
This is why Judge Ailshies decision to wait awhile
is wise will be equally wise for other aspr-
ant for high office to cut out politics and do things.

Three battalions compose regi-
ment, with subsidiary units.
A battalion is commanded by a
major, with under officers--a first
lieutenant and a battalion adjutant.
The battalion is not tactical unit,
operating as a component part of the
regiment-the smallest tactical force.
Neither is the battalion an adniinistra-
tive unit as is the regiment.
The cavalry equivalent of the infan-
try battalion is the squadron. 1t is
composed of three troops, totaling 294
men, and is commanded by major, a
first lieutenant, and squadron ad-
jutant.

UPON WHICH SIDE ARE YOUs

There was eager gentleman who ranted by my side,
And much he prated of the and then at last he
cried,
When he had talked breath away, and at last was
through:
"And now prthee me- friend upon what side are
your"
Said l. may surprise you but really sympathize
With the boysh wounded Austrian, who lost his legs
and eyes;
I'm siding with the Russian, who left girlish bride;
I'm siding with German lad who, shrapnel- shattered
died.
I'm siding with Frenchman, who in his trench has
stood
Half frozen till they shot him. and he said that death
good
I'm with the English officer, whose little newborn
Will his face because his fathers work is
DONE
I'm with the Belgian father whose baby starved last
week;
I'm with the hordes of moved down each time the
speak,
I'm with those pallid women who mothers, sweet
hearts, wives
Those wives who anguish oer their dead and noursh
unborn lives
I'm with each who's in a trench, each boy who's
lost limb;
Each fighter is starved and cold, I'm very strong
for him.
It's quite your argument adown my throat to
cram;
I've told you very frankly upon whose side
] stand"

DOWN TO BRASS TACKS

IF ANYBODY has the idea that Moscow is not hustllng
these days to Increase crop production then all THAT
person to do is to take a trip around the CITY,
Why the boys and girls of this community are
fairly tearing up the ground Gardens backwards and
vacant lots are hustng they never hustled before
There is persistent for plows and teams to tear
up other patches of the earh's surface there is call
for help from all Sides to the featherless bped
found walking with his hands in his pockets
It is mighty fine the way the young folks have taken
hold of the food campaign in this community They
are certainly doing |bit And the city looks bet
ter and feels better as one of the good results

TEDDY ROOSEVELT AS AN ISSUE

For sentimental it might be just as well
to let Colonel Roosevelt raise army division and go
with it to France 1t would be great advertising card
it would give this weary old world something fresh to
talk about it might put heart into the men worn
down bv the long struggle the battle front.
From the practical standpoint there is little to be
gained by sending the colonel and body of raw
troops into the maelstrom of hell earth. This war
now in progress is San Juan hill affair
if is no place for raw recruits by civilians No body of
Americans large small should be permitted to go In
until they are we'll trained and then they should be
led bv men thoroughly versed in the science of modern
warfare.
1t is plain that the war council at Washington is
onposed to sending Colonel Roosevelt France at the
head of American volunteers This opposition is not
PERSONAL it is against the volunteer system at the
present stage of world And the war council
is presumed to made up of the best informed IN
all America in such matters, it would seem that their
advice is best.
No one in considering this Roosevelt problem now
will overlook the embarrassment and grief Abraham
Lincoln endured in the Civil of his political
generals 1t was necessary to sidetrack them all for
that silent little u S. Grant to the union.

HOW CONSUMPTION WORKS

Congressman French put the CONSUMPTION issue
tersey in his speech i'll the house the other day when
he said:
"The seleetivedraft system is in harmony with
our whole system of government system by which
every citizen does his bit When it comes to taxation
do not around the hat and let those contribute
the support of country state and nation who desire
have part in bearing the burdens of government We
endeavor to levy the tax to support government
in such way that will be just and equitable through
out. And when we build roads we do not call for
volunteers and when summon our juries we do not
ask every man who wants to to have place in
the Jury box and if no one volunteers, dismiss all

THROTTLE THE GAMBLER

Gamblers in food products must go. They are
worse than alien enemies They more destructive
than the German submarine.
1t is high time the federal government took cognis-
of this evil 1t is proposed to place the pur-
distribution of food products in the hands of
This not alone the food of America
but the food of all the nations at with Germany
Just this will is probematical, but it is adj
mttedl that something must be done and at once
The thumbscrews of the Spanish inquisition were
infamous than the instruments of extortion
used by the food hogs of the United States
OF what avail is it to lend 1000 900 to the
tons of Europe fighting for their lives if the
gamblers of this country are permitted to raise the
price of wheat 81 So bushe and force the $4,000
100000 back before it has hardly time to reach the
nations in need?
The confusion and distress brought upon men doing
legitimate business and all in this coun
try by the manipulation of food prices is an outrage
that this nation cannot afford condone. This gov
ernment must protect it, people from enemies at home
we'll the enemies from outside.

United States senators at one session
of the state legislature, three of whom
eventually recognized and seated
could have occurred.
What Organic Law Says
To understand the possibility of such
unique occurrence it is necessary to
be familiar with the provisions of Sec
ton 3, of the constitution of the Uni
ted States, which are in part as fol-
lows: "Sec. 8. The senate of the
United States shall be composed of
two senators from each state, chosen
by the legislatures thereof, for six
years; and each senator shall have one

there was "at least grave doubt" al
to the validity of the election of Free

olution new election was held anG
Mr.. Clagett was declared elected Feb

credentials certifying that fact, under
date of February IA, 1891

himself to take the oath as senator

went over until the following day,
when Mr. Dubois was sworn, and his
credentials, together with a memorial
of William H. Clagett, claiming the
seat, were referred to the committee
On Privileges and Elections.
The majority of the committee re-
ported that both on construction and
precedent the legislature of Idaho was

judgment of (the) committee, the sec

Mr. Dubois was duly elected and en-
titled to retain his seat. Two of the

according to precedent the word or

cation, that the permanent organiza-
ton was not effected until Tuesday,
