earnestness and desire to fit him
self for the little-thought-of but al

defense of his country. You cannot
help liking Ripley from the very out
set. ae is going to have lot OF
hard knocks. but he is going to "win
out" You could not choose finer
story to put in any young fellows

of loyalty, service, unseltishness. Il
will make him despise meanness and
slackness. And yet there is nothin g
in it of the ''goody goody" of namby

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
TELLS HOW TO LOOSEN A TENDER
CORN OR CALLUS SO IT LIFTS
OUT WITHOUT PAIN.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lCckjaw Or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati author
ity to use drug called freezone,
which the moment few drops are
applied to any corn or callus tie
soreness is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus, root and all, lift
Off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without infaming or even
Irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle OF freezone will
cost very little at any Of the drug
stores, but will positively rid ones
feet OF every hard or soft corn or
hardened callus. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get it at
any wholesale drug house for you.

CALOMEL DYNAMiTES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
CRASHES INTO SOUR BILE, MAKING
YOU SICK AND YOU LOSE
A DAYS WORK.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
1t, causing cramping and nausea.
II you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get so cent
bottle OF Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver ard
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without maxi
ing you sick, you just 60 back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full OF
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children, they like it.

There Are No MasOns
Among Warning Kings

Gustavus A. Rogers, representative
for New York to the Grand Lodge OF
the District of Columbia which held
its annual communication last month,
in addressing that grand BODY, said
in part:

there ever been such a catacl ysm
There have been wars in the past be
tween civilized nations in whsch Ma
son has been opposed to Masoa, but
never i history before have there
beea so many Masons opposed TO one
another, and yet the verv fouudatic n
stone of our craft is fraternal affec-
tion
by this fact would point out-a
hopeful fact to ma-that while there
are millions of Masons in the ranks,
there is not among the helligerent.
kings single Mason-the kaiser is
not a Mason, the emperor of Austria
is not Mason, the king of England
is not Mason, the king of Italy is
not Mason, the car OF Russia is
not Mason. On the other hand, it i
is interesting to know that the rulers
OF three of the most distinguished neu-
trail countries-Norway, Sweden and
Dermark-all are Masons.
"Not infrequently have we of the
Masonic order heard the statement
made that if these rulers could be
brought together as men and Masons
there would be peace; but think that
we would be false to our ideals and
standards if we did not realize thatI
here can be no lasting peace in this
word unless there cometh with the
idea of brotherly love, we
must enjoin another teaching oil
Masonry, and that is loyalty to hu-
nanity and adherence to its principles
Ind ideals.
1t is sad to see Masons slaughter
ng one another in the trenches abroad
,ut it would be sadder to see Masons
efuslng loyalty to the land of theirl
birth. When we speak OF peace in this
historic grand lodge, the Masonic
lome of many presidents of the United
States, we must speak of peace only
