YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or caIlus SO It lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops Of freezone applied directly on
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loCSens so 1t can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drur store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
Or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

MAXIM CLAIMS TO HAVE
SOLUTION FOR "U-B0ATS"
Says New Device Perfected by Him
Will Render Ships Torpedo
Proof at Any Range.

New York, May 24.-Hudson Maxim
has announced he had perfected a de-
vice which would make ships immune
from the dangers of the submarine. He
said that torpedoes, even when fired
at close range and striking their tar
gets, would explode harmlessly against
the bulls of their intended victims.
The inventor asserted the invention
soon would be demonstrated by the
government.
"The invention is practical for every
type of vessel" he said. 1T can be
applied within a few months to the
hulls of ships already constructed. The
only change necessary will be a slight
enlargement in their beams. My de-
vice is Of solid material and encircles
the entire ship from bow to stern. 1t
in no sense resembles a screen or
net

Neutrality Hangs in Balance.
Washington, May 23.-Old world and

protest against the German submarine
campaign. Mexico, Brazil, Sweden and
Denmark took part in a great chorus,
threatening action. The Mexican min,

Swedish Indignation Aroused.
The president of Brazil recommend
ed to the Brazilian congress revoca-
ton of neutrality between the United
States and Germany. Swedish indig-
nation is aroused by the capture of
three merchant ships, Lizzie, Goeta
and Kaell, on the way to Finland. Den
mark declared that 200 Danish sailors
had been drowned by submarine oper-
atoms in the last three months.
Mexican Ports Open to All.
Less encouraging news comes from
Finland, where a convention of the
Swedish political party has demanded
complete separation from Russia. Min
lister of War Kerensky is reported to
have left Petrograd for Finland to ex-
plain the intentions of Russia.
1T would be national suicide for
Mexico even to consider aligning her
self with any European power against
the United States" This was the
statement by Ygnacio Bonillas, Next

are to remain open to all belligerents,
as were those Of the United States

The arrival of the steamships had

The message which told of the sink

"DastardIy Deed"
Newspapers united in voicing in
dignation at the torpedoing of the
Tidningen captions it's article, 'The
Germans Dastardly Deed Against
Sweden" and characterizes it as a
deliberate and bloody crime"
The Dagen's Nyheter says: "Our
German kinderland-as it is fond of
calling itself-is drawing heavy drafts
on the sympathies which it believes
itself to possess here and for which
our land has been forced to hear so
many unkind' words from Germany's
opponents" The Nyheter declares no
intelligent German need wonder that
his country has so few friends in the
world.
The Stockholm's Dagblad says: 1T
was sympathy for Germany as well as
provisions for Sweden that went down
with the ships"
Neutral Rights Ignored.
The Svenska Dagbladet says: 1T
is plain that the Germans are pro-
ceeding without the slight elementary
regard for our rights as neutrals."
No theoretical defenses by Germany
can prevent the greatest bitterness
from prevailing in Sweden, says the
Dagbladet. Germany's enemies, it adds,
could not have desired better agita-
ton material.
