YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me 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 of with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by n Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
moment, and simply shfivels up the
corn or calluS without Irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv

PLEA REJECTED
PERMANENT WORLD TRANQUIL
LiTY AIM OF AMERICA AND
ALLIES, SAYS WILSON.
FULL TEXT OF U. S, REPLY
WORD OF KAISER CANNOT BE
TAKEN AS GUARANTEE THAT
WAR WILL END.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
To His Holiness, Benedictus XIV.
Pope:
In acknowledgment of the communi-
cation of your Holiness to the bellig-
erent peoples. dated August /, 1917,
the President of the United States re-
quests me to transmit the following
reply:
Every heart that has not been blind
ed and hardened by this terrible war
must be touched by this moving ap-
peal of his Holiness. the Pope must
feel the dignity and force of the hu-
name and generous motives which
prompted 1t, and must fervently wish
that we might take the path of peace
he so persuasively points out: but 1t
would be folly to take it If It does
not. in fact, lead to the goal he pro,
poses.
Our response must be based upon
the stern facts and upon nothing else.
1t is not mere cessation of arms he
desires; 1t is a stable and enduring
peace. This agony must not be gone
through with again. and it must be a
matter of very sober judgment that
will insure us against it.
To Free Peoples From Militarism.
His Holiness in substance proposes
that we return to the status quo ante
bellum, and that then there be a gen
eral condonation, disarmament and a
concert of nations based upon an ac-
ceptance of the principle of arbitra-
ton; that by similar concert free
dom of the seas be established and
that the territorial claims of France
and Italy. the perplexing problems Of
the Balkan states and the restitution
of Poland be left to such conciliatory
adjustments as may be possible in the
new temper of such peace, due re-
gard being paid to the aspirations of
the peoples whose political fortunes
and affiliations will be involved.
1t is manifest that no part of this
program can be successfully carried
out unless the restitution of the status
quo ante bellum furnishes a firm and
satisfactory basis for it. The object
of this war is to deliver the free peo-
pies of the world from the menace and
the actual power of vast military es-
tablishment controlled by an irrespon-
sible government which, having Sc
cretly planned to dominate the world,
proceeded to carry the plan out with
out regard either to the sacred obli-
cations of treaty or the long-estab-
lshed practices and long-cherished
principles of international action and
honor; which chose it's own time for
the war; delivered its blow fiercely
and suddenly; stopped at no barrier
either of law or of mercy; swept a
whole continent within the tide of
blood-not the blood of soldiers only
but the blood of innocent women and
children also and of the helpless poor ;
and now stands baked, but not de-
feated, the enemy of four-fifths of the
world.

Driver Of Powder.Laden Wagon Tells
Critical Youth How He Can Make
Better Time-In One Direction.

An employee Of a large American
granite company was once driving
from railway station with several
casks Of blasting powder and dyna-
mite cartridges In his load, when he
overlook a young man walking. With.
out waiting for an invitation, the
pedestrian climbed into the wagon and
sat down upon one Of the powder
casks. He was a laxative young man,
and began at once to make derogatory
remarks about the speed Of the wagon,
or, rather the lack Of 1t.
"We're passing everything on the
road" he said, cheerfully-"that Is,
everything that is stationary" Not re-
ceiving reply, he continued, II had
half a mind to hire a landslip or a
glacier just for speed, you know, but
suppose we are doing about as WELL"
He was silent for some time; then
he broke forth with:
81 say, stop the horse! The earth is
revolving fast enough to get us there"
Just then he prepared to scratch a
match on the cask.
eff you are goin' my way" said the
driver lazily, "this Is just as fast as It
will be; but, If you want to go straight
up at right angles to the road, jest
light that match on that blasting pow
der-and you're there now"
The young man decided to walk.

Women as Fortune Builders.

observe, and you will notice, that
Notwithstanding the great incursion of
women, Of late years, into one or an
other departments of business, they are
not of much account as fortune-build-
ers. Some of them earn or make
good deal Of money, but they seldom
get rich by their own exertions, and
nearly all the rich women have inner
tied their fortunes from men. More
over, the women who are most success
full as money-makers are not, as rule,
the most successful as women. The
women seem to be a consecrated sex,
too valuable to be employed In mere
money-getting. Vast numbers Of them
earn living-sometimes a good one
and have to; but few of them get rich.
It is common for young man to start
out deliberately to accumulate for
tune. 1t is uncommon for a young
woman to do so. She Is much more
likely to accumulate young man.

REGULAR MILKING IS URGED
Cow Will Do Her Best When MIXED
1T Regular Periods Of About Twelve
Hours Every Day.

A COW can do her best only when
MIXED at equal and regular daily pc
RODS of about twelve hours each the
year around. The full supply Of milk
is not in the udder, ready to be drawn
out before milking time comes, but
some of it is produced by the glands
during the operation of milking. The
udder, however, Is usually filled, and
the COW becomes accustomed to this,
but IL the operation Of milking Is de-
layed the glands cease to some extent
to secrete milk, and they will then
not be stimulated to good activity dur
ing the process of milking. This In
jures the glands and produces a de-
crease in the milk flow. So 1t is very
important that the milking be done
regularly at as near the same time
each morning and evening as possible.

SPRAYING FOR GRAPE WORMS
Three Applications Of Arsenate OF
Lead Should Be Made-Plowing
In Fall Is Favored.

Wormy grapes can be avoided by
spraying the vines with arsenate Of
lead. Three applications should be
made. the first just before blooming,
the second Just after blooming and
the third when the grapes are half
grown. If soap Is added to the spray
material it will spread over the fruit
and stick better. In making up the
spray mixture use at the rate Of two
or three pounds Of arsenate Of lead
paste to so gallons Of water.
The grape berry moth that causes
the worms In grapes live over winter
on the ground In the pupa stage and
In the spring the moths appear and
lay their eggs on the stems and fruits.
1t is the larva that forms the worms
seen in the fruit. There Is second
brood that matches out In July. If
the vineyard Is plowed in the fall
many Of the alternating pupae will be
destroyed. Otherwise spraying is the
panacea.

planted her banner on the edge of
the fosse, sprang down into the ditch,
placed the first ladder against the
walls and began to mount. AS she
rose an English archer drove an ar
row through her corselet wounding her
cruelty between neck and shoulder.
AS she fell the English leaped from
the wall to make her prisoner, but
her devoted French bore her to the
rear, where the sight of blood and
the anguish Of her hurt first made
her cry, but in a moment she sat up,
drew the arrow from her body with
her own hands, betook herself for a
few moments to prayer, and then
rushed back into the fray to find the
discouraged Dunois ordering retreat.
ID "By my Cod" she cried to the army,
as she pointed toward the TOurelles,
"you shall soon enter there. When
you see my banner wave again up to
the walls, to your arms again! For
the fort Is yours"
fled the English, for they had thought
her slain and now saw her apparently
risen from the dead. The Biscayan
soldier who was now bearing her BAN
ner pushed 1t forward from the fosse
until 1t touched the wall, whereupon
the French swarmed up the ladders,
aided by the troops who had been left
in the city, but who now placed planks
across the ruined bridge. and rushed
to the attack. Gladsdale striving fran
tically was sighted by Joan, who cried
out to him, Surrender! Surrender to
the king of Heaven" The hard-pressed
English leader disdained her summons,
but at that moment a cannon shot car
ried away the bridge on which he was
standing and he fell to death by
drowning In the moat, With his death
the English abandoned resistance.
Three hundred had died in this one
fight. Two hundred were taken pris-
oners. The remaining English aban-
doned the siege.
Within three months Joan had full
filed the first part of her promise, the
relief of Orleans. Within three months
more she stood with her banner at the
high altar in Rheims and saw Charles
VII anointed king Of France.
Her devoted service lasted long af-
ter. 1t ended only with her capture
at Compiegne, her sale to the English
and her martyrdom at the stake in
Rouen. She had saved France. France
permitted her to be burned alive.
