New Corn Remover IN Big
Demand, Say Druggists

Since the virtues Of Ice Mint as =
corn remover became known in this
country. druggists have been having
an extraordinary demand for this pro-
duct and it is predicted that this sum
mer women will wear smaller and
prettier shoes than ever.
The fact that this new discovery
which Is made from a japanese pro-
duct will actually remove corns-
roots and all-and without the
slightest pain or soreness. is OF course.
mainly responsible for its large and
increasing sale.
You apply just a little on tender
aching corn and instantly the sore
ness is relieved, and soon the corn is
so shriveled that it may be lifted out
with the fingers-root and all.
Ice-Mint is a clean. creamy. snow
white non-poisonous substance and
will never inflame or irritate the moSt
tender skin.
Cutting or pairing Corns often pro-
duces blood poisoning, and people
are warned to stop 1t.
Just ask in any drug store for a
small jar of Ice-Mint, which will cost
little, yet is sufficient to rid ones feet
of every corn or callous. You'll like
1t immensely.-Adv.

MORGENTHAU HEADS
MISSION To EGYPT
Former Ambassador and Party Will
Investigate Conditions Among Jews.
CBy InternationaI New. servrc.,l

my international News Servfce.)
Henry Morgenthau, former United
states Ambassador to Turkey and
treasurer Of the Democratic National
Committee, will head q mission to
Egypt, sent by the United States to
investigate conditions among the Jews
in Palestine.
This move Is the first step, 1t is be-
lieVed. Of America recognizing Pales-
tine as separate republic with Jeru-
salem as the capital, when the British
army now pressing upon the Holy
City shall reach its goal. This force
is now within a short distance of its
objective, 1t was stated yesterday.
II was learned that the object of the
mission Is to get as near to Palestine
as possible and learn what Is going
on there. There have been reports
from time to time of Turkish atrocities
against the Jews in the Holy Land,
and rumored threats of a massacre
should II be seen that Jerusalem could
hold out no longer against the British.
The United States, through the mis-
sion's findings, may lay the ground
work for a recognition of the Jewish
republic, the first proposal for which
came from England some months ago.
At that time 1t was said the British
government would be pleased to have
America adopt the proposed state as
a protectorate.

New sclectivo Draft Policy

WHEN the observation-disclosures with
w tho consent of the President and the
Secretary of War, arrived at new policy
of actual selection under the selectivc draft
act, the wisest step was taken which has yet
marked the governments processes of up-
plying the CONSUMPTION system. The adj
mnistration is to be applauded for the posi-
ton 1T has taken. The only fault to be found
with tho program is that 1t was not adopted
until $4,000 men had been drawn.
The selective system can only justify itself
upon one basis, and that is that it be MADE
literally selective. If it falls short of that.
or If it is juggled. it Is wretched failure,
and should be abandoned. This does not
mean that CONSUMPTION should be abandoned
likewise. Consumption is means of sccur-
ing tho exact number of men which tho gov
ernment may need at given time for q
mlhtarE purpose. Selection means that the
conscriptcd men to be chosen i'm the
order OF their availability for military service.
In the old days the draft applied with
out respect to persons or industries Every
tenth man or every twentieth man of milf
tary age was called, whatever might be his
occupation or his standing. This was in it's
