NEW zEALANDERS
PARADE IN SYDNEY.
sents and Vents are Treat
ed Alike by New Zea-
land Government.

SYDNEY, Australia June 2S.-
New Zealand troops bound eventually
for the front were gathered in large
numbers in Sydney recently. The
streets were alive with them; stocky,
soldierly-looking youths whose uni
forms contrasted markedly with
those of Australian troops in that
they wore tunics very like in cut
those in use in the United States
army and peaked "cow-puncher"
hats. Every arm of the Dominion
military service was represented. The
Maoris during parade Of the troops
through the city attracted the partic-
ular attention of the onlookers. The
New Zealand Minister for Agriculture
W. D. S. Macdonald, said of the
troops, who were composed of both
volunteers and conscripts, and of the
operation of the compulsory service
law in New Zealand:
although the CONSUMPTION system
is in force men still have the right to
volunteer and it is always found
when men are called up that more
than half are volunteers. In my own
electorate they have never had occa-
sion for draft. They have always
been able to find the quota through
the voluntary system.
New Zealand does not make the
slightest distinction between its vol
unteers and its conscripts. To each
class precisely the same privileges
are accorded"

NORWAY CARES FOR
WEARY WAR NURSES
Red Cross of That Country
Doing Splendid Relief
Work.

CHRIsTIANA, Norway, June 28.-
Correspondence THE Norwegian
Red Cross has extended to the United
States an invitation to send to Nor
way for crest cure" any Of its
nurses and Red Cross workers who
may become i'll or worn out in the
course of their work in Northern
France.
In Norway any such American con-
valescents will be the guests of the
Norwegian Red Cross, and will be
sent to the most suitable Norwegian
health resort for period of six
weeks or more at its expense.
Similar invitations were long ago
extended to the European belliger-
ents, although Germany and Russia
are the only ones who have sent
nurses here in response. Germany
has thus far sent 500 nurses to Nor
way, while IS Russian nurses are
now here for a months vacation.
A visit from even small Amert-
can Red Cross unit would be regard
ed as great event in Norway, which
regards itself as little closer to the
United States than any other Scan
dinayian country. Norwegians fire.
ouently remark that there are more
Norwegians in the United States than
there are in Norway, and that there
fore one country is as much their
"home land" as the other.

TENDER TOES OF
AMERICAN women.
TORTURED WITH coRNs BE.
CAUSE OF HIGH HEELS, BUT
SAYS CoRNs LIFT OUT.

Style DEGREES that women wear high
heel footwear, which buckles up the
toes, producing painful corns; then
many women cut at these pests which
is a most dangerous proceeding, be.
cause one is simply inviting infection
or an awful death from lockjaw.
For little cost there can be obtain
ed from any pharmacy a harmless
drug called freezone. A quarter ounce
Of this is sufficient to remove every
soft or hard corn or callus from ones
feet. A few drops applied directly
upon a tender, aching corn relieves the
soreness at once and soon the entire
corn, root and all, can be lifted right
out without pain.
It is a sticky substance which dries
in a moment and shrivels up the corn
without even infamtng or irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin.
Here is q good thing ladies, so pass
it along to your sisters in distress.

HEALTH HINTS

Hay fever occurring at this season
Of the year is usually called rose few
er or rose cold. 1t is no different than
the disease common in the fall months.
Hay fever is catarrh of the upper
lir passages It is due to the action Of
the pollen Of any one Of rs grasses
and at least seven plants on the mu-
cous membrane of the nose and throat
Of some people.
Among the plants causing hay fever
are yellowdock, cocklebur, careless
weed and many varieties of grass.
Hay fever plants are numerous, wind
pollinated and their flowers are with
out bright colors or pleasant scent.
The pollen is always found in great
quantities.
Vaccines of various kinds ar used
to prevent the disease from develop
ing. Some of these are made from
the pollen of the more important plants
A chang in climate is often advised.
The control Of weeds and grasses
also offers means of preventing hay
fever. Most cities have ordinances
against noxious weeds, but they are
usually not enforced.
Persons susceptible to hay fever
should not rent or buy property in
neighborhoods with neglected weeds or
grasses. This action would likely help
correct the neglect. They should also
avoid driving along roads passing
through sections full of grass and weds
in bloom, for pollen is likely to be in
hailed with the dust.

I02 Years to Count
Billion Silver Dollars
Expert Working 8 Hours a Day
Would Be On Job That Long

The large sum of money represent
ed by the term "a billion dollars,
now being so frequently used in the
war financing of this and other coun-
tries. was illustrated recently by a
lecture before class in the educa-
tional department OF the National City
Bank as follows:
1--WE all know how rapidly an expert
counter of coin will manipulate them.
The Treasury experts will count 1000
silver dollars in an hour and keep il
up all day long. Working eight hours
day, then. an expert counter Of
coins will count $4,000 silver dollars
in day. At that rate to count a
million dollars will take thirty-one
days. But that is only the beginning
of the measurement of great figures,
for If this same man were to go on
counting silver dollars at the same
rate of speed for ten years he would
ind that he had only counted one
hundred million Of them and that TO
count billion dollars would require
l02 years of steady work at the rate
of eight hours per day during every
working day of the l02 years"

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Exchange on Spain rose yesterday to
the highest point of the war period.
Pesetas sold as high as 22i. cents,
compared with a recent rate of 217s
and a normal of 10 1-3 cents. Foreign
exchange brokers attribute the strength
of the Spanish rate to the fact that set
Element of large British and French
obligations in Spain is being arranged
through the medium of the New York
exchange market. The movement of
exchange in favor of Spain cannot be
explained by the direct interchange Of
trade between the United States and
that country, owing to the fact that we
have been selling Spain considerably
mere merchandise than she has been
