CONSUMPTION Bill Passes

Both houses of Congress have
passed bills favoring the selec-
tive draft plan for raising armies
during the present war. Only
details remain to be worked out.
Under this act every man be-
tween the ages 81 and q will be
required to register for service,
and this latter age may be made
40. From those so registering a
half million men will be selected
for duty in the army, and ad-
ditional units of the same num-
Der may be called as often as the
President may see fit. Severe
penalties are provided where
those liable to registration fail to
present themselves, and the bill
takes all alike and exceptions
and excuses Will come later.
1t is thought no married men,
with dependent families, will be
required to serve. 1t is the
purpose of the president to
organize the army with as little
suffering to the people as posi-
BILE and with a minimum disar-
rangement of the country's in
dustry and business. Farmers
and railroad men will very likely
be excused. So with manufac-
turers whose articles are ne
cessity. The idea is, go to
work or get your gum"

Wonderful Stuff!
Lift Out Your COrns
Apply a few drops then lift corns
or calluses off with fingers
no pain

No humbug! 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
compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store Tor a small
bottle of freezone. which will
cost but triHe, but is sufficient to rid
ones leet of every corn or caIlus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instant
" the soreness disappears and short
ly the corn or caIlus will loosen and
can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug Ireezone doesn't eat out
the corn's or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just Think No pain at all; no sore
ness or smsrting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applica lions, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that 10
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustaehian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed Deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces
