WONDERFUL STUFF! LIFT OUT
YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift cOrns or
Calluses off with fingers-nO pain

No humbugi Any corn. whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out. without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and
is a compound of ether discovered by
a Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone. which will cost
but a trihe, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will
loosen and can be lifted off with the
fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have free2one have him order
it for you.

GERMANY BACKS AUSTRIA
Lokal Anzeiger Says Enemies
Will Be Offered Peace
Worthy Of All Parties.

London, April 4.-The Berlin LokaI
Anzeiger's article concerning the pro-
posal of the Austro- Hungarian foreign
minister that a peace conference be
held by the belligerents, as repro
duced by the Rheinische Westfalische
Zeitung Of Essen, a copy of which has
been received here, says:
"The standpoint taken by the Ber-
lin and Vienna governments is shar-
ed also, it need hardly be said, by the
governing circles of Sophia and Con-
stantinople and will be shortly given
emphasis by visit to Germany of a
highly placed parsonage from the
dual monarchy.
More unbroken and more firmly
we stand on all fronts and more con-
SciouS do we feel of our power to per-
sist to the end; better are we able
with head erect to offer our enemies
a peace worthy of all parties for the
immense sacrifices they have made in
this war.
Should our enemies now show
themselves unwilling to grasp this
opportunity for preparing to end the
bloodshed and for restoring peace to
to the people of Europe, they will act
on their own responsibility. We are
prepared to hold out. On that there is
only one opinion in our quadruple al
lance"

Uncle Sam wrote his check for
$25, 900, 900 and took over the Danish
islands Saturday. They are directly
east of Porto Rico. With the formal
transfer, the islands became known as
the Virgin Islands of the United States,
a designation chosen by the natives of
the islands and adopted by the United
Government. In all there are fifty
islands, only three large enough to be
of importance. st. Thomas is the
most important and has one of the
finest harbors in the West Indies.
The harbor will be transformed into
a strong naval base by the United
States for the protection of the Pana-
ma Canal and for general military
purposes. st. Croix and St. John
are the other two large islands.
