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 a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted of 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

Low Valuation Reduces Revenues.
A study OF the figures on file with
the state board Of equalization rela-
tive to the assessment OF real and
personal property in Missouri for the
taxes for the current year explains
why II was necessity for the recent
general assembly to pass extraordi.
nary legislation to raise revenue.
1t Ia the old, old story Of extremely
low valuation of the farm lands of
the state for taxation. Whether the
board will raise the valuations this
year has not been determined. Final
action will be taken within the next
ten days.
The figures show that farm lands
in some of the richest agricultural
districts of the state are valued at
less than $40 per acre.
Here are few examples. Cape
Girardeau county, 1884; Mississippi
1913; Dunklin, $11.98; Stoddard, Sill
OF; Nodaway, s17.93; Clinton, $166S;
Clay, $17.15; Ray, $15.75; Lafayette,
$1793; Saline, S16.19; Carroll, $14.-
II; Charlton, $1464; Howard, S14.-
II; Monroe, $12.65; Marion, $13.42;
Lincoln, $500; st. Charles, S1451;
Pike, $13.26. Average farm lands in
any one of these counties cannot be
bought under $40 an acre.
1t is not expected there Will be any
material increase in the farm lands
on the present assessment, but the
situation will afford a fruitful field
for investigation by the state tax
commission to be created by the next
general assembly when that body is
ready for active operations.

They Recommend the "Outside" Appli

Harmful internal Dosing.

Intelligent mothers everywhere real
ize that little children should be dosed
sparingly, and yet some treatment for
cold troubles is necessary. Joplin. Mo-,
mothers have solved this problem by
the use Of Vap-O-Rub. This is the
external" Southern treatment intro
duced here last winter. Applied at
night over tho throat and chest, the
heat Of the body releases the ingredi-
ents in the form of vapors, and thus
the medication is inhaled with each
breath through the air passages to
the lungs. Vap-O-Rub gives quicker
relief than internal medicines, and can
be used freely with perfect safety on
the smallest, child.

Wars Effect on Prices.

Wars Effect on Prices.
What effect the European war and
other conditions had in Missouri upon
the farm price of hogs, cattle, sheep,
wool, apples, cabbage, onions, beans,
turnips and other farm commodities
on Jan. Is, 1917, over the same period
in 1916 is shown by the bulletin of
the Bureau Of Labor Statistics, given
publicity by Commissioner William H.
Lewis While short crops help to
bring about the higher cost of living
in course of the twelve months con-
sidered, yet the unusual demand from
the warning countries for live stock
md provisions was chiefly to blame.
In the figures that follow the price
Of live stock is given per hundred
pounds, the farm prices which pre-
vailed on Jan. Is, being considered
for both 1916 and 1917. Hogs went
up from $500 in 1916 to 1910 in 1917;
beef cattle from $3.50 in 1916 to $3.50
in 1917; veal calves, from $3.50 in
1916 to $3.50 in 1917; sheep, from
$3.50 in 1916 to 1920 in 1917. and

1917; mich cows from $57.40 in 1916
per head to $61.90 per head; horses
from Sill per head in 1916 to $113 in
1917. Ordinary farm commodities,
such as potatoes, onions and cabbage,
experienced an advance and reached
price which broke the record for
| any year since the civil war. Apples
went from "a cents a bushel in 1916
to $1.20 in 1917; cabbage from $40
per hundred pounds in 1916 to the rec
ord price Of $4.20 in 1917; onions,
from $1.05 in 1916 to $50 in 1917;
dried beans, from 1896 in 1916 to 500
bushel in 1917.

Missouri Must Double Guard.

All units of the Missouri National
Guard must recruit to war footing.
This will necessitate the practical dou-
bling of the four regiments and bat
teries.
At present there are 1900 men and
officers in the guard. The war foot
ing will require a total Of 5000.
On a war footing each company
must have a strength Of $50 men and
each regiment 1900.
Each of the three batteries have
