Woman Suffrage Bill Killed

ST. Paul, April 6.-Woman suffrage,
so far as the present session of the
Minnesota legislature is concerned, is
dead.
The Senate elections committee ad-
ministered large doses of anaesthesia
to the constitutional suffrage bill
which already has passed the House.
The bill was recommended unanimous
ly for indefinite postponement. The
presidential suffrage bill was recently
slaughtered in the Senate proper.
The physicians in charge of the an
aesthetics were several of the leading
drys in the upper body. 1t is the
firm conviction of the drys that the
suffrage constitutional amendment
should not go on the ballot with the
prohibition amendment at the election
next year.
The House Of Representatives put
the quietus on the proposal to force
the university to dissolve it's affilia-
ton with the Mayo Foundation when
it refused to make the dissolution bill
a special order of business.
The Senate Education committee de-
cided to report out the bill aimed at
the University-Mayo affiliation with
out recommendation. The bill will go
on general orders in the Senate and
will be lost there also, say advocates
of the measure.

SOUTH AMERICA WILL
Be WORST SUFFERER
Official With Commission SAYS
No Peace Proposals Can
Be Entertained

Washington, May 1.-The entente
allies are flatly opposed, in advance, to
any peace plea Bethmann- Hollweg NAV
make in the reichstag Thursday, it was
stated by a high authority in the Bal
four commission this afternoon, because
it would not be genuine and would
mean victory for the Teutons and a
menace to the civilization of the
world.'
Amy move for peace by Germany
at this time said the authority,
can be nothing but an attempt to cut
the Teutonic losses.
4'The most seriously menaced part
Of the world under peace made at
this time would be South America.
Germany sees the advantage of
throwing sop to the liberty-loving
portion of the world in offering peace
at this time on probably these terms:
Giving up Alsace and Lorraine to
France; clearing out of Belgium; re-
linquishment of all conquered territory
in the west.
They can make a great play on this
but the world must not be deluded.
Germany now has and wants to
make peace in order that she may
keep a clear route from Berlin through
Austria, Bulgaria and Serbia into Tur-
key. This would give her a base from
which to begin a new and inevitable
war against civilization all over again
1t would be a practically impregnable
interior position of offense and defense
which every -war familiar man knows
is the most difficult to deal with
Would Rule South America
Germany has realized that she can
not attack the Suez canal successfully
from the outside and peace on this ba-
sis, with this corridor through these
countries, would give her a chance to
get at it from the interior.
"Her logical point Of attack under
these circumstances, seeing that she
cannot hope to accomplish any more
than the establishment of that exceed
ingly important corridor in Europe
would be South America Germany al
ready has a foothOld in South America.
1t would be only matter of time I'M
der the new developments until she
would dominate that country and be
off in another tour of world carnage.
''Germany's big idea in promulgat
ing peace now is to cut her losses.

house which sees the crash coming and
seeks to make settlement with the
on the basis of so many cents

what she set out to get; and for the

Sure! High Heels
Cause Corns But
Who Cares Now

Because style decrees that women
crowd and buckle up their tender toes
in high heel footwear they suffer from
.corns, then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn grow hard This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and women are
warned to stop it.
A few drops of drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone, which
costs very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from one s feet.
This drug is an ether compound and
dries in moment and simply shrivels
up the corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. Clip this out and pin on your
wife s dresser.
