Try this yourself then pass

II works!


Ouch ann! This kind Of rough
talk will be heard less ere In town II
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice Of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of q drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened
callous stops soreness at once, and
soon the corn or callous dries up and
lifts right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
Of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callous
from ones feet. Millions Of American
women will welcome this announce
ment since the Inauguration Of the
high heels. If your druggist doesn't
have freezone tell him to order a small
bottle for you.

ROMANCE SEEN FROM SADDLE
GaIloplnq Hoofs Constitute an Eternal
Challenge to the Spirit
of Youth.

Romance likes to come on horse
back; the jingling spurs and bride
irons chant happy pean in his ears,
and from the saddle, as from the
throne, he looks out over the workaday
world, says a writer in Scribners
Magazine.
Romance always has been linked
with riding; In the playroom mounted
on gallant rocking chair youth rides
into land of golden deeds; later he
swings In long gallops on the faithful
hobbyhorse into spicy and fugitive ad-
venture. To the page on prancing
palfrey and to the cayalryman In
khaki the lure of romance is the same !;
the rhythm of galloping hoofs thuds
always in the Imagination, the lady's
favor on the lance and the quivering
scarlet guidon fiutter alike mysterl-
GUS and eternal challenge to the spirit
Of youth. "To horse and away" and
all the worlds before one.
Stevenson always wanted to write a
story about man galloping up to an
inn at night, and the very suggestion
brings tingle to the imagination:
BY on the highway low and loud,
BY at the gallop goes he.
He heard him in the sleepless mid
nights of his childhood; and, indeed,
the sound of thudding hoofs always
makes the heart beat faster. The so
ciable Gathering Of single footer on
asphalt, the cracking Of twigs and
leaves on the quiet autumn trails, the
mufIled rhythm of canter on the turf,
its resonance on a bridge-all these
make music In the ears and bring the
very smell of adventure. To him who
rides there Is always something lost
behind the ranges"-and his heart
yearns for It.

aettlna OIL From Needles.

Investigations Of the yield and the
value of cedar oil obtalnable from some
of our southern and western trees have
been made by the forest service partly
with view to the possible utilization
of waste material left after lumber
ing In the national forests.
In these Investigations, longleaf and
western yellow pine leaves produce the
most promising results, but the needle
Ills obtained from these pines did not
surpass the already firmly established
spruce and hemlock oils.
The large quantities Of needles and
twigs on forest service timber sale
areas are not only sheer waste, but
also form special fire hazard. An In
creased market for leaf oil would make
possible the utilization of some Of
this waste material.

Fears for the Sheepmen.

If the Idaho farmers attempt to hold
for $40 hay this fall it will force the
sheepment of the state to reduce the
size Of their flocks and have the effect
of causing many to withdraw from the
business, according to Hugh Sproat,
president of the Idaho Wool Growers
association. Sproat does not agree
with Harvey Alfred, director of the
state farm markets bureau, that the
farmers must get $40 a ton for their
alfalfa if they are to make the same
margin of porft on their invest
ment.

Indiana Tornado
Takes Heavy Toll

Newcastle, Ind, March 12.-With
twenty persons dead and 200 injured,
Newcastle began today clearing away
the debris left by the cyclone which
swept the southern part of the city
yesterday afternoon. Fully 500 homes
were destroyed or badly damaged.
The estimate of the property loss re-
NAMED at about $1,000, 900. The city
is under military rule, approaching
military law. Several hundred mem
bers of the National Guard are pa
trolling the devastated district, and
saloons are closed.
The tornado struck the city from
the west, after levelling the rolling
mills of the Blue river valley. 1t
swept through the entire width of
the city from Sixth to Twenth-ffth
street. The first homes in the path
of the twister were practically level
ed to the ground, after which the wind
apparently raised slightly, taking the
roofs from the houses from Tenth to
streets, where it again dip
ped, sweeping practically every house
before it to Twenty-fifth street. The
greatest damage done was in the
part of the city. where a
great many factory employees reside.
and several thousand were homeless
throughout the night. Special officers
were sworn in by Mayor Watkins and
a strict patrol of the affected district
was maintained.
