AN ETHER COMPOUND
Just a few drops loosens any corn
so it lifts out with

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me quarter of an ounce
of freezone," This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard

A few drops applied directly upon a

soreness instantly. and soon the entire
corn, root and all. can be lifted out
with the fingers without pain.
This new drug called freezone is an

SLOGAN Worth Remembering.

'The city is our home-help us to
keep it clean and healthful." This is
the slogan of the public health depart
ment of the city of Dallas. 1t would
be good for all the people if all the
people would bear it in mind all the
time. If they did, they would not
spit on the sidewalk, they would not
throw dirty papers on the street, they
would not keep i'll smelling garbage
cans to offend the nostrils of every
passer-by, they would not maintain
dirty outhouses to spread disease
among their neighbors, they would not
use yulgarity and profanity on the
streets, they would not make vile re-
marks about women of their city
among whom their own wives and, sis
ters and mothers must move and with
whom they associate, and they would
not do hundred other things that de
tract from the cleanliness and health Of
city life.-HoustDn (Tex-l Post.

BEST PART OF PROTECTION
Apart from Appearance, There Is Ex-
ceIIent Reason Why Trees Should
Be Planted Along Highways.

"Shade trees, judiciously planted,
are not only a large addition to the
beauty of a region, but they are of
great value in protecting the high
ways from deterioration" Such is the
opinion of the State College of For
estry at Syracuse, which has complet-
ed Investigations showing that nine
tenths of the roadsides in the rural
districts of New York are entirely bare
of shade trees. The college authorities
maintain that where overhead wires
are numerous, some sort of bushes can
be planted, and where the roadway, as
distinguished from the banks at the
side, must be narrow, some small tree
will prevent any injurious effect upon
the vegetation in the adjoining fields.

4hEW METHOD WILL STICK"
Giving City Managers Control of Mu.
inequalities Has Worked Well, and
Idea Is Spreading.

Some forty places in our country,
ranging from Ashtabula to st. Angus
tine, are run by city managers. This
means that our everlasting American
problem of municipal government is
now being tackled successfully by call
ing into action one of the oldest of hui
man traits; that joy of achievement
that thrilled in Tubal Gains heart
when he hung up the first piece of good
pron work, banked his forging fire, and
went home to get something to eat
lRunning city is not business in the
baser sense of somehow (anyhow) max
Ing money, but it is business in the
better sense of getting important things
well done, remarks Golfers
The city manager has a free hand
and job of his own. He therefore can
buy things cheaper, hire and keep more
capable men, and help them turn out
results. The citizens Cor Shareholders
can see what he is accomplishing 10
the visible condition of the public prop
erty such as streets, sewers, parks,
ETC.; can check the accomplishment
against the costs, as kept in accurate
accounts and revealed in clear and
brief reports. Then they can back him
up or get him fred as need is. The
politicians cannot undermine the active
civic power by dividing responsibility,
creating Independent offices and con-
fused jurisdictions, but must either
keep their hands off or else buck the
task of firing the head of the town.
/. American common sense has assert
ed itself, and the new method will
stick. AS the years go by we
will have plenty of cases of trained
men starting as managers of tank viii
lagos and rising to run big cities with
pay and recognition proportionate to
yheir work A lot of the dynamic en-
-ergy now being trained in our engineer
ing schools will be turned directly in
to making our towns better places in
which to live. That is what towns are

Decrement Unearned.

At last the unearned decrement,
neglected brother of prosperous I'M
earned increment, has come to its own.
Alderman Charles E. Merriam has
dragged this too long forgotten child
of the shifting city out of its obscur-
ity and made of it an argument for his
zone plan. Some of the facts which
he has ELECTED are startling. For illus
tration these:
On the South side an apartment
building was erected, at total cost
for land and construction of $4,000.
A coal yard was later established on
the property adjoining, and the entire
value of the apartment building was
destroyed. In Wicker Park residence
was built a few years ago, at total
investment of something like 5000.
The establishment of a grocery store
led to depreciation of the values for
residence purposes, and the house was
recently sold at $4,000.
The same solution is to follow the ex.
ample of European cities and of New
York and Los Angeles in this country
by dividing the city into residence, in
dustrial and other types Of zones. In
that way the useless destruction of
property might be reduced and, too,
which is more important, the entire
city might be developed in accordance
with an intelligent plan.-Chicago Her
