ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooIishness! Lift your corns
and calluses off with fingers
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns OF
any kind Of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn a few drops OF
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority
For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

"Tanlac has done hundred times

laiC my crutches aside and am actually
doing all my own housework."
II was a cripple with rheumatism
for long time and for three years 1
had to use crutches to get about on. I
had severe pains in my hips and the
small of my back and for years I
hadn't been able to do any of my house
work to amount to anything. I lost
my appetite and things didn't taste
right nor agree with me, and 1 was
constipated and had to be taking some
thing for it constantly. All my neigh
bors knew about my helpless condition,
for the fact is, was an invalid for 60
ing on twenty-five years.
"After 1 had taken five bottles Of
Tanlac could walk anywhere wanted
to go without my crutches, for didn't
need them any more, so 1 laid them
aside. The rheumatic pains left me,
my appetite is good and 1 can eat any
thing 1 want without the least bit of
trouble. AS l said before, l am on
my feet and doing my own housework
again after all these years. l want
everybody to know about Tanlac, for
it is certainly wonderful"

BARS ALCOHOL MAKING
BILL PROVIDING $152,5oo,oo FOR
ENFORCEMENT OF LAW is
PASSED BY LARGE VOTE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. - The administration
food control bill, giving the President
broad authority to control the distri-
button of food, feed and fuel, for war
purposes, and appropriating $152,500,-
900 for it's enforcement and admins
tration, was passed by the House
Saturday night, after far-reaching pro-
hibition provisions had been written
into it.
The vote was 965 to 5, Representa-
tives McLemore, Slayden and Young
of Texas, Dems., and Meeker, Mo-, and
Ward, N. Y, Reps, voting in the mega
tive.
After several hours of parliamen.
tary sparring, during which the pro-
hibitory proposals were thrown out re-
peatedly on points Of order, the Prohi-
bition element got the upper hand
and forced adoption of amendments
which would forbid the use of any
foodstuffs during the war for making
intoxicants and would give the Fresi-
dent authority to take over, in his
discretion, all stocks of distilled
liquors.
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where it probably will be substituted
for similar measures already under
consideration. Leaders hope to get
the measure to conference by July l..
Few important changes were made by
the House outside the prohibition Sec
ton.
The control powers of the Presi-
dent were limited to articles specifi-
cally mentioned in the bill, instead of
giving him blanket authority; volun-
tary aids in control work were made
subject to the penal provision; all
persons in the food administration
except those serving without compen-
sation were placed under civil serv-
ice; and the President was required
to make an annual report on the op-

"In general way, yes," murmured
the applicant. ...,

"Wash glass and silverT"
"I-er-think so."
The young man seemed embarrassed.
He frowned and blushed. Just then
the clergyman's wife entered.
"Are you married?" was the first

In the total registration of 9,649,93S
are included COOL Indians, reported by
the Department of the Interior
On the whole, Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder considers the registra-
ton 100 per cent, as including the
eligibles already in the federal serv-
ice the figures would be within a few
thousand of the census estimate Of
10,29S, 1O4.
Throughout the country the local
boards organized to carry out the pro-
visions of the selective service act as
instructed by the President. There
are approximately 1000 of these
boards, each of three members. They
were appointed by the President,
largely on the recommendation of the
state authorities.
The boards are expected to have
every registrant numbered, as the
drafting will be done by number in
stead of by name. The local boards
will number the men registered there
and send the numbered cards to the
adjutant general of the state in which
they are located.
Each states numerals will be from
No. upward. Numbers to correspond
with the numbers in the states will be
located in the provost marshal gen.
erals office in Washington. When the
selection begins-and 1t Is expected
to begin not later than the second
week of July - the numbers will be
drawn from jury wheel in Washing
ton. There will be a separate selec-
ton for each state-so each state may
be called upon for it's quota and one
state may not be forced to supply
more men proportionately than an
other. President Wilson will proclaim
the number of men each state must
supply The President also will set
day for the selection.
The numbers drawn then will be
telegraphed from Washington to the
governors of the various states. They
will notify the adjutant general, who
holds the corresponding numbered
cards, and the adjutant general will
notify the local boards under whose
jurisdiction the selected men are.
The onus of determining whether
or not he has been drawn lies with
the man himself. Plentiful provisions
have been made for letting each man
know whether or not he has been
drawn. Four copies of the registra-
ton list and the number he bears are
to be made public. one being placed
at the office of the local board and
another being made available for the
press.
When man learns he has been
drawn, he is privileged to appear be-
fore the exemption board of his dis
trict and plead his case for exemption,
If he considers he has one. There also
will be a board of appeal for each
judicial district.
An investigation has been ordered
to determine the reason for the small
registration on the Pacific coast,
where barely more than so per cent of
the estimated figures showed in the
registration.
II finally forced to serve, the man
will be acquainted by presidential
proclamation of the date he must re-
port for service and will be told where
to report by the local board. This
date has been definitely set for Sept.
list. Wo" is being rushed on the can
tonments 70 have them ready by that
time.

Dear Friends:
| want to ask your assistance
In our food campaign in the way
of conseI wing the surplus. AS you
are iwell awar,. there is great
waste of fruits and vegetables in
our State. This can be saved to a
great extent by canning the sur
plus. Our blackberry crop alone, if
conserved, would be IN important
matter. We must also save all sur
plus tomatoes, sweet corn. okra,
beans. peas. ,bbage Tin Ithe form
OF krau peaches. plums. etc
want to ask that you purchase
and furnish each high or central
school in you parish with a can
ming outfit; this outfit to be used
by the principal. or someone desig
na,ed by him. or her, not only to
demonstrate but TO be used in can
ming the surplus ftuits and vegeta
bIes Of the patrons and neighbors
of the schools. This can be none
on the toll or percentage basis. In
this way the party IN charge can
make nice salary as well as well
as show patriotic spirit. and if
you desire you can demand a per-
centage of the toll to compensate
the parish for the expenses of the
canning outfit
In my opinion you will not only
render great service temporarily
to the people of your parish. but
you will be giving them prac.i-,
Cal education that will be of untold
benefit in years to come
Please take this matter up at
your earliest convenience and give
