Message TO Householders.
The reverse side of the card car
ries a message to householders.
THE food situation in Europe il
says. "is far graver than when the
preliminary survey of the food supply
of the world for this year was made,
We have an abundance for ourselves
and 1t is the policy of the food admin
istration by the prevention of exports
to retain for our people an ample
supply of every essential foodstuff.
The harvest of our allies have proved
less than we had contemplated and
the great curtailment of shipping by
the submarine during the last few
months has further prevented them
from access to remote markets.
Beyond the demands of the allies
hhere is a call upon us by the friendly
neutrals for food, and, If we cannot at
least in part respond to these neutral
calls. starvation on an unparalleled
scale must result.
Food has taken a dominant posi-
tion in the war and we must ask the
American people to sacrifice far more
than We at first thought necessary.
THE allies today ask us for 25 per
cent more meats and fats than we
consider our monthly production per
mts us to send them without trench
ing on our own supplies or, on the
other hand. unless we can consume
less. Due to the shortage in shipping
our available sugar supplies must be
less than normal from the present
time forward.
Must Stint Ourselves.
Every particle of diminished con-
sumption by the American people is
one more particle for the soldiers
men, women and children of our al
lies and for the starving people in
other countries. This is a personal
obligation upon every one of us, to-
wards some individual abroad who
will suffer privation to the extent of
our own negligence.
"If we reduce the consumption of
the few products which we should ex-
port we will need to eat larger pro-
portion of many different foodstuffs
which we cannot export. We must
not waste any foodstuffs. In this
emergency only the simplest of living
is patriotic

Apply a Few Drops Then Lift Corns
or Calluses of With Fingers.
No Pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft of between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without a
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is a
compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instant
ly 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
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it OF
afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freezone have him order it fol
you.
