Cincinnati Man Tells How to ohrivel Up

Onch :? ~! This kind of rough talk
will be heard less here in town if people
troubled with corns will follow tn simple AID
vice of this Cincinnati authority who claims
that few dr. ps of drug called freezone
when applied to tender. aching hard

the corn or callous dries up and lifts right off
without pain
He says freezone dries Immediately and
never infiames even irritates the surround

very little at any drug store, but will positive
ly remove every hard soft corn and callous
from ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this amour cement since the in
auguration of the nigh heels If your druggist
doesn't have freezone tell him to order small
bottle for you.

it? Are the boys going to get dollar for dollar
A well known Indiana citizen, who has two
boys in the army, recently brought letter to an
Association for the secretary to read:
What does the Army and Navy Y. M c. A.

WELL I'll tell you.
1T provides outdoor and indoor games, base
ball, basketball, volley ball. football checkers and

other educational branches. It organizes Bible

ourselves.
when we go overseas these comforts and
men will go with us to do for the American boys

'"To render this service here and in the other

Every One Is Learning that We Are in Wal

The momentous significance of America
entrance into the great war is slowly but surely
being understood by the American people.
Richmond was slow to grasp the full meaning
of President Wilson's break with Germany. We
dawded along, supremely Indifferent to the sac
rifces it entailed, the great issues at stake. We
were no worse than other cities our size or big
ger We were representative of our national atti-
tude
But great change has come over this coun-
try We are beginning to appreciate what this
struggle means.
Haven't you noticed the difference in the spir-
it of Richmond?
For many weeks there was no vitalizing, grip
ping interest in the Red Cross work. We seemed
Indifferent to the cause. Pass the headquarters
now to note how earnestly the women of this COM
munity are bending to their work.
Interest in the work Of the Y. M. C. A.
was feeble flame until last week. Now we will
raise $4,000 to make comfortable the young
fighters.
The army and navy until recently were two
great organizations for which we had no personal
concern. See the service flags in front of hun
dreds Of homes the pride we take in the sailors
and soldiers, the honor we bestow upon the fight
ers, and you will be convinced that new spirit
is taking possession of our souls.
Until a month ago, women's clubs met reg
ulary for recreation and pleasure. Now you find
their members spending these social hours at
Red Cross headquarters learning first aid work
or sewing and knitting for the boys.
We are becoming intensely and earnestly in
terested in this warA
Why?
Because understanding its importance
and because it is coming closer to us every hour
When speakers told us last spring that thin
line of French soldiers was all that was keeping
Germany from our shores, we accepted the state
ment with reservation. Today we know it is a
fact Today we know that we are fighting for
the perpetuation of our own republic and its in
stitutions, and that the Atlantic ocean is not a
barrier against Kaser's designs against democ-
racy, liberty, and humanity.
And as the days pass we will become still
more engrossed in this struggle still more intense
in our application to duty, still more diligent in
the conservation of food and of necessities
The war is having SOLDERING effect on u.s.

Eyes gazed into eyes flaming with

Gosh durn it, Bill, these profiteers
Are bleedin' us to DEATH"
Said Farmer Brown down at the
store.
They take away my breath.
You have to take an airship now
when you go out to buy
Us farmers can't touch anything,
The price has scared so high.
These profiteers now, in the fall
And also in the spring.
They get together and they boost
The price of everything.
They're grabbin' everything around
And pay the price We must.
If there's one thing I really hate
1t is gol-ding trust.
What's that you say-half-past eight?
Great Scott! our meetin's on.
What sort Of meetin'? do you say.
Just pass that demijohn.
You don't mean to tell me Bill,
You haven't heard the plan
To get together here this fall
And get all that we can.
"Pertaters they are far too cheap,
And butter amt too high.

And milk and rake up hay
They'll always have to come to US.
