HEWITT MAKES A GOOD WITNESS IN
 HIS OWN BEHALF

J. o. Hewitt, on trial for stealing the gold brick at Chicagoff was on the stand in his own defense this af ternoon and presented cool col lected, and impressive front Hewitt answered the questions put to him in an earnest manner

He denied the testimony of Sandman to the effect that he had told an Italian miner there that the brick was all right where it was He stated that he might have talk ed about the crime as it was a gen eral topic of conversation at the mine for days after the robbery

VOLCANO ONCE BURST OUT IN
 BERKELEY HILL.

BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. 13. - That volcano once burst out in the Berekeley Hills, has now been proved by the University of Cali fornia.
 This volcano spilled motion rock all the way from Berkeley to a point five miles south of Hayward. Later long succession of earth quakes too place, caused by shift ings of vast blocks of earth's crust. Thus great rifts and faults were torn in this lava bed Then the water of storms and springs per colated through these earthquake Assures in the rocks, and deposited , great variety of minerals. Such was the origin of Oakland's unusu- Il mining industry mining Of pyrite at Leona, as a material from which to make sulphuric acid. The stirring events in the post geologi- cal history of the Berkeley Hills are told in a paper by Clifton w. Clark on "The Geology and Ore De posits of the Leona Rhyolite," just issued in the University of CalifOr nia publication in Geology.

No Sense at ALI.

Out in the cold and dreary street
where the icy wind whipped the pud-
dies into little whirlpools, two men
were talking together.
1t was Saturday forenoon and they
were undecided as to how they should
amuse themselves In the afternoon.
One of them was heard to say:
Coon ON, Jack. II finest match o.
t. season is on today. Coon along
with me-"
The other shook his head, and con-
temptuous smile curled his lip.
NAY" he replied. Does ia think

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man
"Give me a 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 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.

Window Box Gardens.

: Now that potatoes are scarce every
bit of available space is being used in
growing them. Already the women
of the nation have worked out a
scheme of growing seed potatoes I'M
window boxes, thereby adding sew
eral dollars to the family income-
When the housewife prepares her po-
tatoes for the evening meal she cuts
a piece from the rose" end of the
potato off before peeling and plants it
in the sitting room window box, which
contains either leaf mold, coconut fibre
or sand. Each piece, says one potato
planter, should weigh not less than
one and a half ounces, and the box
should be kept in the window of a
cool-but not too cool-room until the
sprouts are from one-half to an inch
high. Thus the housewife has sup
ply of seed potatoes, which are daily
increasing in value.
