Tho Tragedy Of Serbia.

The seventy thousand who went to
Macedonia last summer were grim and
angry men. Life had not lost it's at
traction for them, but death had be-
come SO commonplace that it's terror
had departed. Their first fight was on
Kaymakchalan, when they took a
mountain so trimmed around with
trenches and 80 dotted with guns that
when one walks over the field today
it seems impossible that 1t could ever
have been taken. The Serbs drove the
Bulgans. up the slopes Of Kaymak-
chalan until they came to the rim
rock that guards its top. and there the
battle hung for days. At last the Bull
garians gave way and fed wildly to
the valley Of the Cerna which cleaned
below.
When the Serbian army was sent
into the valley for rest in February OF
1917, after having been almost con-
tinually on the defensive since August
Of 1915, there were but eighteen thou
sand four hundred and sixty. accord
ing to the official figures furnished
me, Of the seventy thousand men who
began the campaign. These were to be
recruited against the opening Of the
spring campaign by the sick and
wounded men and by the men who
were too old and the boys who were
too young, who had been gathered at
Bizerta,, Tunis. 1t was to be the last
effort Of Serbia. No one knows how
many valid men are in the enemy con-
centration camps, or how many have
been held In Serbia to till fields for
their enemies use. 30 far az We know,
the manhood Of Serbia has been de-
stroyed. Those who remain to carry
on the race are those who are still too
young for war.
Serbs IL finished" her men say.
Our people have been killed. But we
have taken the price"
Yet there si still an army in Serbia.

Why You Should
Never Pare a Corn

II you are troubled with corns or caluses
do not run the risk of blood poison by pairing
them. Statistics show that many deaths
have occurred from this seemingly innocent
practice of pairing corns.
Simply go to your druggist and get few.
cents worth of Ice-Mint, rub little on any
painful corn or callus. Immediately the
pain will disappear and in a short time the
corn or callus will loosen and lift off easily
with the fingers--root and all--leaving the
surrounding skin in healthy, normal con-
dition.
This, together with the fact that 1ce-Mint
overcornes such affections sore, tired,
aching, pufed or burning feet and makes
them cool. easy and comfortable, is prob
ably responsible for the hearty endorsement
given it by druggists.
To rid ones feet of every hard corn, soft
corn corn between the toes or painful cal
luses in such a pleasant and safe way. makes
it seem the heighth of folly for anyone TO
pare a corn, and people are warned to stop it.
