LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial LEG, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After AmputatIon.

A Danish doctor ut hospital In
Paris has invented cardboard leg
which enables the wearer 20 10 about
without crutches two days after his
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
Of cardboard about three.slxteenth Of
an inch thick, and bandages soaked In
II starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board Is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked in
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandageS.
The principle Is that OF an egg In II
cup, and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound Is completely
healed He can thus get cir and eXer-
else, which It Is usually impossible to
obtain at this phase of his GONZALES
cence; also he has 10 suffer none OF

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS
...s....se-.-..............,.-.............-s.-

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me small bottle of freezOne."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
cOrns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for yOu.-adv.

Crons ON Wheels

Bumper crops in New Jersey are
being put on wheels and rolled
right into the city markets, fresher
and faster this year than ever before,
and for the first time since the grow
ing of perishable products became an
extensive industry in the state the
farmers feel themselves to some de-
gree Independent Of railroad schedules
and freight rates.
Motor trucks have solved the prob
lem of fast delivery for Jersey farm
ers. Hundreds of big cars, some of
them with carrying capacity of sew
eral tons, have been put on the roads
between the farms and markets this
season. Many of these auto trucks
are owned by the farmers themselves,
having been purchased to replace
horses and market wagons.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase in United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Com
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States is de.
cidedly on the increase. This fact is
revealed by reason of census taken
of the insane, feeble-minded, epileptics
inebriates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental Hy-
giene. Analysis of this census Is found
in the Mental Hygiene. 1t was com
an of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith NJ. Furbush,
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase of population from
April IL, 1910, to January l, 1917, was
11.80 per cent. The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
of insane in Institutions was S7,791.
The census taken in the present year
revealed 234, 4,055 insane persons in in
stitutions. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the corre-
spending period was 24.64 per cent, a
growth more than double that of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate of increase Of the
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that Of the general popu-
lattOn in every state except Arizona,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one Of the states
In which the disparity between growth
of population and increase in insanity
has been greatest. In this state the
population increase was 9.S4 per
cent, as compared with percentage
of increase of insane in institutions of |
27.3S. The neighbOring state of Indi-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages of 4.64 and 27.44 re-
spectively.
