ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2s.-With several
promising recruits to choose from as
tonic for his Brownies, Fielder
Jones will enter spring training this
year with n much better prospect than
a year ago. He will not have to con-
tend with Federal leaguers, believed
TO be real ballplayers. He will have
the benefit OF a years experience with
the Old Brownies. His selections are
bound to be better than last spring.
Jones, silent as ever. ventured the
assertion today that he will be in the
fight.
"Of course. I'm hoping" he said.
But you know ! never make early

tense of his action In seeking to sign
Japan and Mexico with Germany
against America, was that criticism
from certain Germans of such a course

new allies.
Such an explanation according to
Berlin dispatches received here, was
zimmerman S answer to socialist
queries in the main committee of the
reichstag. The foreign secretary laid
particular stress on the fact that his
instructions to Minister Eckhardt at
Mexico City were based only on the
United States entering the war.

Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing

sufficient to rid one S feet of every hard

You apply just few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
infiames or even initiates the adjoin-
