How to Overcome
Foot Troubles

Unless a person has actually suffer-
ed with tired, aching, burning feet
or painful corns or caIluses. they can
not appreciate the misery that such
Affections bring.
Reports now show that over 90 per
cent of the American people suffer
from some form of foot troubles ana
modern footwear Is said to be caus-
ing an alarming increase in this per-
centage. Therefore, the following
should prove Of special interest to
readers.
Recently in the treatment of thess
foot troubles by patients using Ice
Mint. these distinctive features were
noticeable. Tired aching, burning and
swollen feet invariably become cool,
easy and comfortable after the first
application. while in the treatment of
corns and calluses. il was noticed that
after a few nights application. the
corn or callus had a tendency to
loosen, and in a short time could
easily be lifted out with the fingers
root and all-leaving the surrounding
skin in normal. healthy condition.
This. together with the fact that
1ce-Mint costs little and is so easy
and pleasant to apply and Is
absolutely harmless-is no doubt re-
sponsible for the high endorsement
given it by Specialists as the surest.
safest and most efficacious treatment
for distressing foot troubles.
When you stop to consider that the
simple. pleasant process of rubbing
a little Ice-Mint on the foot at night
will shortly rid one of every painful
corn or callus, and will keep the feet
cool. comfortable and rested even on
the hottest days. 1t is easy to under
stand Its great popularity and why IL
Is now used in nearly every Ameri-
can home. Anyone suffering from foot
troubles is advised to give Ice-Mint
a trial. There is nothing better.-Adv.

The Biggest Daily
Financial News Feature Of
the Counhy's Best Newspapers.

Howard Elliott when president OF
the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany directed one of his subordinates
to make careful investigation Of GER
t. in conditions in the Northwest. and
having done that, to report to him
confidentially what had been discover
ed. After President Elliott read the
report he was asked If he had any
criticism to make. In reply he said
that he had none unless it was to
say that his subordinate had suffered
from TOO much zeal. Many of those
who tried in all the reserve districts
with all their energy to assist Secre-
tary McAdoo in floating the liberty
lean met with embarrassment and
difficulty occasioned, as they thought,
by the fact that some of those who
were directing from Washington these
endeavors were revealing too much
zeal, too great enthusiasm and too
little judgment or knowledge of con-
ditions.
Our own bankers explain this by
saying that the offer of the liberty
loan was a new proposition, suddenly
made in the expectation that it would
be within a few weeks accepted by
rected by a staff which was without
experience and in some directions the
work was absolutely wasted. Now,
while a new loan, possibly for as
much as $1,000, 100000 is under con-
sideration, Secretary McAdoo will
have the benefit obtained from the
varying experiences met with and les
sons taught when the first loan was
offered for saleA Since the secretary
was able to announce that the liberty
loan was oversubscribed by a little
more than 81 .O00, 100000 men Of finance
of this city and presumably in the
other large financial centers began to
give careful consideration to what
they regarded as the inevitable offer
sometime in the autumn of a new
loan which might possibly exhaust
the entire amount authorized by Con-
gress, namely 5000, 100000.
Many have been the inquiries put
to bankers in this citySwhiCh referred
to the rate of interest which Secre-
tary McAdoo might determine as the
eXpedient one to nominate on the
bond. But it has been invariably OBJ
served that it is, at this time, not
so much a question of the rate of
interest as of thorough preparation,
nationwide, for offering the loan to
the people. Many of the organizations
voluntarily created for the purpose
of aiding the secretary in placing the
liberty loan have not been disbanded
but instead have been maintained so

alities that Senator Reed INDUCED in
yesterday.
| Nobody cares very much what the
Senator thinks about Herbert Hoover.
He can hold the most violent, lurid
opinions in the world about the man
whom the President has chosen as
Food Administrator, and Washington
will refuse to be perturbed. But the
whole country cares If Senator Reed,
in venting his spleen against a man
whose work in behalf of a stricken
people has gained him worldwide
fame, delays the passage Of legislation
which is imperatively needed. That
is something in which every American
is concerned, and there ought to bs
some way in which the nation can
make known its anger at this dis
play OF pinheadism during the con-
duct OF a great war
The charge against Mr.. Hoover is
doubtless one which will excite the
resentment Of all true patriots. In
his zeal to aid the Belgians, Mr..
Hoover actually tried to rig the mar
ket" so as to get low price on beans
for the relief work. Terrible crime,
indeed! EverlastingIy branded as a
food speculator, Hoover doubtless is
one of the arch-hypocrites and Phar-
isees of all history. So Jim" Reed
evidently thinks, in his best trump
citing oratory. And when Jim Reed
goes on the war time the Senate
trembies as it never has since that
other "Jim,' MARITIME of New Jersey,

lently stole away.
The food bill is being held by vari-
Gus foIlies and vapidities, and even
Senator Gore has not hesitated to add
to the obscurities of counsel that sur
round it. As reframed, the measure
will include only food stocks and fuel.
This ought to be satisfactory to the
opponents of the bill who are not
either secretly or openly opposed to
any food control whatsoever.
The danger of further delay has al
ready beea dwelt upon. There Is no

Food speculation has reached such
a stage in the United States that it
is going to develop into a system and
a tradition unless it is checked and
stamped out now. The power of the
speculative interest has been felt in
Washington since the bill was framed;
it has done its best to emasculate
the measure.
President Wilson probably will have
to exert all of his personal influence
to drive the bill through. He should
not hesitate to do so and to call things

SOME ANCIENT HISTORY

The adoption by the Senate of a
rule by which action on measures may
be- obtained after reasonable debate
recalls the old struggles in the House,
when a minority could halt its pro-
ceedings. The Senate was a long
time suppressing this kind OF pbstruc-
ton. In the House it was under Re
publican Speaker that the remedy WAS
applied. Speaker Reed instituted the
reform and many will recall how he
was denounced for the sensible rules
which he established 10 put an end TO
delays.
When Reed assumed the chair the
minority was in the habit OF halttng
all the business of the house with USE

: a recess. On one occasion, in the
tiftieth Congress, the House remain
ed in continuous session for eight
DAYS and nights. during which time
there we're more than 500 roll calls on
motions of this nature. Another
method of obstruction was the break
ing of the quorum through refusal to
answer the roll call.
| Speaker Reed ended the dilatorE
motions by refusing fatty to enter
tain them, and he put an end to the
absurdi,y OF constructive absence
bv directing the clerk to record the
names OF those present and not vot
ing. He was called a GEAR, but the
orecedents which he established have
been a part of the house rules ever
since. Speaker Cannon in more re

such resistance will be encountered as
that which almost without exception
has been experienced by tariff fegls'
iators in the past. II the WILSON,
Underwood Law has performed no
other good service. II has served 10

in every direction. while the average
rarifr rate OF duty at our ports fell
from 90 to 10. to II, and at length to
less than s per cent. And stu the
treasury deficit grew and expanded,
There is a new apprehension that
promises to quicken the minds OF
those that have been consecrated to
the free trade fetish that may rally
them to the protection standard. We
know that the entire commercial pol
icy OF Europe is to undergo a change.
The British Empire Is to- become pro-
tective nation; France is TO raise her
duties, and so is Russia. The post
war competition must be recokene'l

been forced TO the admission Of
changed conditions.
Blu; back Of all these things is the

NOT AN INSPIRING BODY

able feature Of the Commission is that
no great manufacturing State Is rep
resented Prof. Taussig, it is true, is
from an important manufacturing
State. Massachusetts. but he repre-
sents no industry. He is an academic
tariff expert with free trade leanings.
None OF the industrial protection
States Is given a voice on the Com
mission: The geographical distribu'
ton of the members singularly ignores
the vital interests of the middle west
and the north. We do not believe the
