NEW SHOES WON'T
HURT AFTER THIS
Cincinnati Man Tells How to
Shrivel Up Corns so They
Lift Out.

Ouch ?! !! This kind of
rough talk will be heard less here in
town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority. who claims that
a few drops of drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching corn
stops soreness at once, and soon the
out pain
He says freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries Immediately and
never inf1ames or even irritates the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
of an ounce, which will cost very little
at any drug store, is said to be suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callous from ones feet Mill
lions of American women will welcome
this announcement since the Inaugural
ton of the high heels.-Advertise-

MARK WAN
Another Lincoln in Spirit

Mark Twain made US laugh, so that we had
time that his style was sublime, that
he was almost biblical in simplicity, that he was
to America another Lincoln in spirit.
To us, to every one in the United States, he
was just Mark Twain well-beloved, one of
ourselves, one to laugh with, one to go to for
cheer, one togo to for sane pointed views. Now
he is gone; the trenchant pen is still. But his
joyous spirit is still with us. Mark Twains smile
will life forever. His laughter is eternal

SHE PLANTS POTATOES
Mrs Capper Abandons Flowers to Add
to Acreage"

Governor CappeF's flower beds are
to produce potatoes this summer. Mrs
Capper discovered this week that her
tulip beds had been planted to pota-
toes. Further investigation by the
florist and landscape gardener who
decorates the governors lawn showed
practically the entire flower plot had
been planted to spuds.
Several days ago Mrs. Capper de-
cided her flower Eeds were not pros
pering. She recalled the expensive
seeds and bulbs which the landscape
artist had distributed in the various
beauty plots So the landscape man
was called to investigate. He dug a
few holes in the flower beds Then
he discovered the trouble. He found
potatoes had been planted and were
being cultivated instead of the flowers,
1t was reported in the state house
today that a few plots would be saved
for flowers at the governors resi-
dence, Eleventh street an6 Topeka
avenue. But guests in the executive
home next winter may eat real home
grown potatoes and Governor Capper
himself plans TO give the potato crop
proper encouragement as evidence of
sincerity in the campaign for. an in
creased supply of foodstuffs.

Army Staff Asks Law
on Universal Training

Washington, D. c., Feb. ia de-
tailed plan for the establishment of a
national policy of universal military
training and service was laid before
Secretary Baker to-day by the army
general staff.
1t differs radically from that pro-
vided in the Chamberlain bill, favor
ably reported Saturday by the senate
military committee, in that full year
of training would be required as the
absolute minimum. The senate bill
is based on six months training.
The staff bill was submitted to each
of the thirty-siX members of that body
and represents the consensus of their
opinion. 1t is understood to have
been worked out in much greater de-
tail than the senate bill, which leaves
wide departmental power to prescribe
regulations.
Secretary Baker has indicated that
the recommendation of the staff will
be made public later, even in the event
that the plan does not receive the
approval, so that 1t
can serve as a basis for discussion be-
fore the country after the adjourn
ment of congress. Advocates of uni
versal service have urged that refer
endum be taken when public senti-
ment has been crystalized on the ques-
ton.
With the staff and senate bills now
available, many officials believe the
question will be given serious consid-
Grafton at the White House. particu-
larly in view of the strained interna-
tional relation. 1t is pointed out by
of such legislation that If
the president should recommend the
passage of universal service bill, the
present congress could hardly avoid q
vote on the subject

that the others Will come in.
