WHEN CONSUMPTION
BECOMES THE LAW.

Here is pretty good idea of
what the new selective conscrip-
tion bill now before congress
will exact when it becomes the
law:
The presiden. will des gnate
by proclamation a day of regis
tration, the voting precinct be-
ing used as the smallest unit for
enrolment. The governors of
the various states will be asked
to have the sheriffs of the coun-
ties appoint registrars to take
the names of all males between
the ages of 81 and 25. Those
who refuse to enroll will be ar
rested
2. The state officers will ex-
empt from military services per-
sons engaged in indurtries, in
cluding agriculture, found to be
naeessary to the maintenance of
the military establishment or the
effective operation of the mill
tary forces, or the maintenance
of the national interests during
emergency.
3. Those not exempted will be
reported to the war department.,
which will make further exemp-
tions.
4. 1t is estimated that by Au-
gust 1st the 100000 men desired
will be in training camps. In
the meantime the government
must provide equipment for the
recruits.
5. 1t is estimated that the reg
istration will result in an enroll
ment of 1000, 900, and about 40
per cent of this number will be
weeded out on account of physi-
cal disabilities. The 100000 to
be selected from the remaining
60 per cent will be chosen by lot.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
caIIuses off with fingers
no pain.

No humbug! ANY corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without particle
of pain or soreness
This drug is called freezone and Is q
compound Of ether discovered by a Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trife, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
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 with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying It or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order It for You.

"LUBOKS" STIR SLAv MASSES
Primitive Comic Posters on the War
Influence Russian Lower Glasses

In Russia the humorous and satirical
papers arc read only by the educated
classes, says a writer in Cartoons
Magazine" Though such. publications
as "Boudilnik," "Loukomorye" and
"Novi Satirikon" have been publishing
countless war cartoons, rejecting
every phase and turn Of the great
struggle, these periodicals do not reach
the primitive, illiterate people Of the
widely scattered villages.
1t is the cartoon, of course, that
reaches and influences the masses, and
in order TO reach the masses several
of the Russian journals began publish
ing the cartoons in separate sheets.
They were known as "luboks," or
posters, and while many Of them were
crude and even savage in their eXecu-
ton, they carried their message de
rectly TO the hearts Of the people.
Tons OF these luboks have been
turned out. They have gone every
where, into the remotest communities
where books and newspapers are never
known. One doesn't need 10 know the
alphabet in order to understand a lu
box. It's meaning is clear and on the
surface. And when you consider that
millions Of these cheap eolored post
ers have flooded the highways and by
ways of Russia, you can begin 10 I'M

They are the poor mans newspaper.
To him they bring the news OF the war
important victories won. incidents Of
the Galicia- Bukowina drive, the cam
paigns against the Turk and the Bull
gar. Under the dim light Of lanterns,
far away from railroads and tele
graphs, under the matched roof OF
the peasants hut, these luboks are
discussed eagerly and passed on.
