RABBITS NOT "PETS"
They Have Now Become an Important
Part of Meat Supply.

The National Pet Stock association
has changed to the National Breeders
and Fanciers' association. 1t has
eliminated pet" because rabbit breed
ing has outgrown that word and is
now on a commercial basis. Rabbit
meat exports, according to United
States government report for April.
1917, have increased until they now
amount to 20 per cent of the beef
exports.
The local breeders will meet at the
Chamber of Commerce Wednesday
night at s o'clock for the purpose of
reorganiZing and formulating plans
for encouraging citizens of Topeka to
raise their own meat By so doing
great help toward the conservation of
meats can be accomplished. They are
very easy to raise and at a less cost
per pound than chicken or beef. They
are being raised in many Topeka back
yards and the local association will
soon Guido the poultrymen of Topeka
in number of breeders.

New Food Remedy Causes Big
Stir Among Druggists

Since the virtues of Ice Mint as a foot rem
edy became known in this Country drug
2ists have been having an extraordinary
demand for this product and it is predicted
that foot troubles will soon be thing of
the past
In experimenting with Ice Mint in the
treatment of corns and calluses it was
found that just little applied to a tender
aching corn callus would instantly stop
the pain or soreness and that in a short
time the corn or callus would shrivel and
loosen so that it could easily be lifted out
with the fingers-roots and all-leaving the
surrounding skin in normal healthy condi-
ton. In minor cases of foot troubles such
tender. tired, aching, burning swollen
feet it was found that just a little rubbed
the feet in the morning would keep them
COOL easy and comfortable during the en-
tire day. IceMint is a clean. creamy snow
white. non-poisonous substance that will
not inflame or irritate the most tender skin
The active ingredients of this product are
imported from Japan where the people have
the healthiest best-cared-for little feet in
the world. 1ce-Mint imparts such a sooth-
ing restful feeling to the feet that il has
become very popular with ladies who wear
high heel shoes and with men who have
to stand on their feet all day. Ice-Mint can
be obtained from any druggist at small cost
and one jar will be sufficient to rid you of
every corn or callus and put your feet in
fine condition. Just try it. You'll like it
immensely.-Adv.
