Proceeds May be Collected In lnstan-
ments-This May be Followed ny
End Issue in to Months

Washington Dispatch.
Tentative plans under consldera;
ton by administration officials call
for the issuance of S2,00000O,0OO in
bonds as the first public offering un-
der the S7,OO0,OO0,000 war revenue
law. signed by President Wilson, to
be followed by a second issue IN from
four to six months and possibly
third thereafter.
While the whole program is sub
iect to revision, it is understood that
officials also are seriously consider
inq the advisability of collecting the
proceeds of the first issue in Install
ments, thirty davs apart, and lastlng
over a period of from four to SIX
months.
Should the first issue of $4,000, ,OOO,-
600 and the installment feature, be
adoptedA it is likely that SUBSCRIBERS
will be given four months In whlcn
to pay for the bonds. This would
bring revenue into the Treasury at
the rate of $500,000,0OO a month, am
pie, it is believed from. preliminary
estimations, to meet the needs OF the
Allies in this country, as well as
American military and naval expen-
ses until the new taxation measure
should begin to produce revenue.
Indications are that the first is
sue will be divided among Great
Britain, France, Russia ard Italy, and
that some portion of it will besreserv-
ed for American military needs, the
big proportion, however, going to the
Allies.
In this connection, it was pointed
out tonight that virtually the entire
loan to the Allies will. be spent IN
this country for food 'stuffs, NUM-
tions and other supplies.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calluses off with fingers

uU pam
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 for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or canus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching acorn or callHs. In;
stantly the soreness, disappears and
shortly the corn or caIlus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fing-
ers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or callus but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing 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.

Omit All Meat From Diet il You Feel Rheumatic
or Bladder Bothers
The American men and women must
s ard constantly against kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our
food is rich. Our blood is filed with
uric acid which the kidneys strive to
filter out, they weaken from over-work,
become sluggish: the eliminatve tissues
clog and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and general decline
in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps Of
lead, your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy. full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with
sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells,
acid stomach, or have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, get from
Roanoke Pharmacy Co. and Rosemary
Drug Co.. Rosemary. about one dozen
kidneco tablets; take one with glass
of water before each meal for few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine This famous remedy is made from
perfectly harmless ingredients and acts
quickly and has been used for genera
tons to flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the
urine so it no longer is source of
irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
Kidneco is inexpensive; cannotinjure,
make no mistake, insist on kidneco, it
belongs in every home, because nobody
can make mistake by having a good
kidney flushing any time.
