nate colored people who were so
ruthlessly treated by this Illinois
mob. But the blood of the mar
tyrs is the seed Of the church.
Heretofore it has been difficult to
persuade colored people of the
entire righteousness Of the adj
vice given them to stay in the
South and keep out Of trouble.
When they read Of the merciless-
ness with which a mob Of thou
sands in an Illinois city pursued
these helpless Louisiana and Miss
issippi negro workmen perhaps it
will come home to them that the
advice was not altogether selfish
but at least in part considered
their welfare.-States.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or caIus 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 lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers
Freezone dries the moment it is APP
Piled, ana simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus 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 posi-
lively 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.

WHAT A GOVERNMENT
BOND IS,

The Government Of the Cnited
States has two methods Of rails
ing money. One is by taxation.
The other is by the sale Of bonds,
which is d method Of borrowing
money.
The Government bond is the
printed promise of the Govern
ment to pay back the borrowed
sum Of money at a certain time,
and to pay interest on it at reg
ular intervals until it is repaid.
The Government borrows mon
ey in this way only after it has
been given the right 10 do so by
act of Congress approved by the
President, and the terms of the
loan are set out in the act,
Back of the promise of the
Government stands the honor of
the Government and all its taxing
resources. Really the whole
wealth of the Nation stands be-
hind this solemn promise of the
Government to pay.
This makes a United States
Government bond the safest in
vestment in the world. If the
bond of the United States Govern
ment is not safe, no property in
the United States is safe. If the
United States can not pay it's
bonds, it is hardly probable that
it will be able to protect the cit
liens in their other rights.
The Liberty Loan Bonds of
1917 are especially attractive in
vestments. Not only have they
this absolute safety characteris-
tic Of all United States bonds but
they are tax free not only from
all existing taxes but from any
war tax that may subsequently
be levied. No State, city, nor
county may tax them. The in
heritance tax of the United
States and Of some States may
affect them, or, rather, affect their
transfer after death of the own
er by will or by Inheritance.
Another advantage these Lib
erty Loan Bonds possess is that
if the Government issues bonds
later on during this war at
higher rate Of interest the holders
Of Liberty Loan Bonds will be al
lowed to exchange at par their
bonds for bonds bearing the high
er rate of interest.

WARNING TO SLACKERS IS
SUED BY CROWDER.

Washington, May 22.-"Do not
hide behind petticoats or chill
dren to avoid service in the new
national army" is the injunction
OF Provost Marshal General
Crowder, in an official guide he
has issued to show how questions
put to those who register on June
. should be answered. The guide
explains that there is no desire
by the government to draft any
one who is the sole supprot of any
man, woman or child, but points
out that unless the person you
have in mind is solely dependent
on you" exemption would not be
granted.
The registrar will drop perm
anentlv from the list those whose
physical defects make unfitness
for service obvious. but all other
claims for exemption will be re-
CURED to state specifically the
character of the work he is per-
forming in order that the board
may judge if it is such as to war
rant the government IN excusing

Convention of Long Island Bishop
Burgess, discussing the war had
this to say:
1t would only be by a violent
strain Of the imagination that we
could conceive of situation
where the hands which have been
consecrated to the holy office of
the priesthood of Christ could be
employed in the shedding of
blood.

THE ILLINOIS RIOT,

The East ST. Louis, Illinois, riot
OF Monday night, in which ne
groes were the victims, can hard
ly be said to have been unex-
pected. The Chicago Tribune and
other Northern newspapers for
some time have been sounding a
warning Of the danger of con-
tinued importations Of colored
people from the South, and The
States has been trying to bring
these warnings home.
Fortunately no fatalities at
tended the outbreak; but the mob
seems to have proceeded along the
usual lines. It's hand was turned
against the negroes, with no at
tempt at distinction, and they
were cuffed and beaten and occa-
slonally shot at wherever they
were encountered. All there was
against them was that they had
come from Louisiana and Miss
lssippi to compete with white men
in the labor market; but that was
enough to stir the angriest pas
sions of the mob against them,
and the rioting only ended when
!. hundreds had been driven out Of
he city.
i There have been similar out
bre Ks on a small scale against
thel Southern negroes in other sec
tion(s of the country and there will
be additional outbreaks, even Of
larger proportions and graver in
character, whenever and where
ever a community in the North
rs faced by the conditions devel-
j)Red in East St. Louis.
Some Northern critics, when
ever There is an isolated outbreak
again st the negro in the South
and such outbreaks are pro-
voked only by some aggravated |
crime-usually taunt us with |
trampling the law under foot.
The East St. Louise affair proves
that neither in the North can
sentiment or governmental ma
chinery protect the negro from
Outbursts of mob violence.
That there is something deeper
in the East St. Louis affair than
an isolated expression of a small
minority against the negro is evil
dent from the appealing tele-
grams from the authorities of the
Illinois city to the Governors Of
Louisiana and Mississippi in which
they are asked to do everything
they can to persuade negroes in
these two States to remain away
from East st. Louis. Such tele-
grams indicate more or less unan-
ipity of public sentiment and

ties OF their ability to prevent fu- {
ture disorders unless the cause is
