A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn

Conspicuous Moment in History.

The day here named is the time
upon which all shall present them
selves for assignment TO their tasks.
II is for that reason destined 10 be
remembered as one of the most con-
spicuous moments in our history. II is
nothing less than the day upon which
the manhood Of the country shall step
forward in one solid rank in defense
Of the ideals to which this nation is
cOnsecrated. 1t is important TO those
ideals no less than TO the pride Of this
generation in manifesting its devotion
TO them, that there be no gaps in the
ranks.
II is essential that the day be ap-
preached in thoughtful apprehension
Of its significance and that we accord
TO Ii the honor and the meaning that il
deserves. Our industrial need pre-
scribes that il be not made a technical
holiday, but the stern sacrifice that is
before us urges that il be carried in
al our hearts as a great day of pa
triOtic devotion and obligation, when
the duty shall lie upon every man.
whether he is himself to be registered
or not, to see to ii that the name OF
every male person of the designated
ages is written on these lists of honor.
In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to he affixed.
Done at the city of Washington. this
18th day of May, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
seventeen and of the independence of
the United States of America the one
hundred and fOrty-frst.

Robert Lansing, secretary Of state.
