RAILROADS TO BE
 MADE ONE SYSTEM
Each Line To Be Under Central
 Control During War

New York, April 5.-For war serv- ice the railroads of the United States will be operated practically as one system. They expect to. handle all government business without serious ly interfering with the nations normal commerce.
 Under a plan worked out with the quartermaster general of the army the government will advise the roads of it's requirements and the railroad managers will then be re- sponsible for providing that service.
 Offers Regiment of Engineers.
 A regiment of 1000 engineers, skilled in all kinds of construction work, will be offered to the United States by James Stewart & Co. Eighty per cent. of the men will be chosen from the 1000 employed by this com- pany in the construction of railroads, subways, tunnels, canals, dams, bridges and industrial plants in the United States and Canada. The com pany will bear the cost of equipping the regiment and transporting it to any mobilization point the government may designate.

SAYS THE DRUG IS
 AN ETHER COMPOUND
Just a few drops lOosens any corn so it lifts out with
 out pain.

You simply say to the drug store man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone' This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one's feet.
 A few drops applied directly upon 8 tender, aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted out with the fingers without pain.
 This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by 8 Cincinnati man, who says that while freezone is sticky it dries in a moment, and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without infiaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin.
 Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whiting at his corns, but cut this out and make him try it.

Americans at Berne Question Reports
 That Kaiser Has Ordered Exile of
 Belgian Citizens Stopped.
 Berne, via Paris, April 5.-An arti- cle in French and Swiss papers ques- tioning the reports that Belgian de- portations have stopped has led Amer jeans here to assert their belief that the reports probably are untrue. They say that in addition to deporting Belgians to Germany, the Germans have placed many thousands not far from the front in northern France.
 Belgians to the number of 60,OOO or 10000 are said to be working with in range of big guns of the allies but in general to have escaped injury as the French are using their big calibred weapons as little as possible in order to save the towns of their fellow countrymen.
 The Americans declare that the only Belgians of military age who are safe from deportation are the throngs who are under arrest on charges rang ing from espionage to concealing Bell gain and French citizens. This num- Der is very large and increasing daily.
