Tropic Philosophy

TrOpic Philosophy
He has politely stepped aside and
watched us work our heads off, and
he don't understand yet why we do it.
The Filipino once said to the mission
airy, "As understand it, you want me
to accept your faith, cram my head
with education, in order to fit myself
for life in which | may win wealth
and honor and retire TO restful old
age? ?" The missionary agreed that he
had the right idea. Then" said the
Filipino, why go to all that trouble :?
| have nothing to do now" And this
is the philosophy of the Porto Rican.
He points out that even the honey bee
rests from labor in Porto Rico. There
are flowers the year round, so why
worry? He finds the American inter
esting and amusing, but he is not
stimulated in any way to emulate his
example, and possibly his is the sanest
philosophy. Who knows? Anyhow,
the longer one remains in the tropics,
the nearer one comes to understand
ing his point Of view.

YES! LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT
PAIN.
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to
Dry Up a Corn or Callous So
1t 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 a
few drops of Freezone applied di-
rectly on a tender, aching corn or
callous, stops soreness at once and
soon the corn or hardened callous
loosens so it can be lifted out, root
and all, without pain.
A small bottle of Freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callous. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any Free
zone tell him to get small bottle for
you from his wholesale drug house.
1t is fine stuff and acts like a charm
every time. (adv)

PROPOSED TAX. -

ed discriminating tax. He adds:
Let us have no special taxes on a
few lines of business, but rather an
excess profits tax put on in an in
creasing ratio so that business which
is getting a special benefit from the
war will pay the greater portion of
the taxes.
"The newspapers are willing and
glad to stand their full share Of this
burden, but the business has been
particularly bad for the last year or
two, and the haphazard method OF
Congress seems to be an effort to pun
ish them, or the public through them,
with special discriminatory taxes in
spite of, or in addition to, this other
wise unfavorable condition" n
Rogers also expressed ,disapproyal
of the Government Of the intention
to have the present generation pay
for the war. "The war is being con-
tinued for the benent of PROSPERITY
he said, "and the entire burden
should not be put upon the present

Gen. Pershing recommends that nc
general officer older than As years be
sent to France for active service. The
news will come as a shock to many
civilians in their forties who regard
themselves as rising young men and
who never have regarded man in
his middle forties as being beyond the
age of highest usefulness in any pro-
feSsion to which he has been trained.
But, according to Gen. Pershing, men
over As do not stand the terrific
strain of Twentieth Century warfare.
Old Natty Bumpo in the Leatherstock-
ing tales stalked bad Indians when
was in the sixties, but those were
days when the whip like report of
the rifle" was the noisiest feature of
woodland warfare. Nowadays the
young men stand shell shock, and be-
ing "gassed" better than older ones,
to say nothing of the hardships of
the winter weather in trenches.
Even in the Civil War many of the
notable officers were young. Grant
was under 40 when he accepted Lees
surrender at Appomattox. Little Phil
Sheridan was just over 80 when he
won his fame. Sherman was under
40. Our John H. Morgan, of Ken
lucky, was young man. Many 9TH
ers might be mentioned among gen.
eral officers.
This is to be a young mans war
and the young officers who are now
preparing to go to France, or to
serve elsewhere during the war, as
they may be assigned, may have high
rank within a period that will as
tonish the officers who in times Of
peace have been fortunate to be Col
onels at 50.-The State Journal.
