Washington, April 3.-The War De-
partment Saturday called into the fed
eral service for purpose of police pro-
lection about 1000 additional national
guardsmen.
National Guardsmen from five
states and the District of Columbia
are affected by the order, bringing
up to nearly 10000 the number who
have been summoned for police pro-
lection to industrial plants and other
strategic points.
AT the same time the War Depart
ment ordered that the First New Mex
leo militia infantry, which never has
attained the National Guard status re-
quired under the new defense act, be
mustered out of the federal service.
While the official explanation was
that the national guardsmen ordered
out were required for police pro-
lection it was assumed that the
Texas organizations probably would
be used for border protection, reliev-
ing approximately an equal number of
regulars for duty elsewhere.
The organizations named in the Or
ders include:
Oklahoma-First regiment infantry.
Louisiana-First regiment infantry.
District of Columbia-Third regi-
ment infantry.
Texas-Second, Third and fourth
infantries and the First separate
squadron of cavalry.
Arkansas-First regiment infantry.
r h d e Island - Second, Fifth,
Twelfth and Fifteenth companies of
coast artillery, equipped as infantry.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up q corn or callus SO it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on n
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness ut once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and nll without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, ns 1t

MOTHER! LOOK At

A laxative today saves a sick child

take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If coat
ed, or your child is listless, cross, few
erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat
heartily full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give a
teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs" then don't worry, because 1t is
perfectly harmless, and in few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. A thor
ough 'inside cleansing" is Ofttimes all
that is necessary. 1t should be the
first treatment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.

full directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
