HOW TO GET
RID OF CORNS-
"A Simple, Safe and Reliable Way,
No Pain or Soreness.

Thanks to new discovery made
from a Japanese product women will
soon be wearing smaller and prettier
shoes than ever. Corns are to be a
thing Of the past. A new preparation
called Ice-Mint Il said to make any
corn or callous shrivel right up and
lift OF easily. HARD corns, soft ooTns
or corns between the toes can soon be
lifted right out, root and all. Ice Mint
is wonderful. No pain and not q bit
OF soreness while applying 1t or after
wards. People are warned to stop cut
ting and trimming their corns, and
avoid the risk of blood poison. Simply
get a small jar of Ice-Mint from your
druggist, and from the very second
that 1t touches that sore, tender corn,
your poor, tired, aching feet will feel
80 cool. easy and comfortable that you
will Sigh with relief. Think of it-just
a little touch Of that cooling. soothing
Ice Mint and real foot-ioy Is yours. 1t
is the real Japanese secret of fine,
healthy little feet and Is highly appre-
ciated by women who wear high heel
shoes and men who have to stand on
their feet all day.

we allow the cost of producing food to
he increased. and then we appeal To the
farmer to produce more food in the
hope of securing a supply that VIII re-
duce the price TO the producer. All this
makes the problem OF preventing food
explosions a complicated one.
AS matters stand, those who support
food control legislation seem to be In
the right. The case of wheat proved
that unbridled manipulation of spec
ulative markets does somewhat initiate
prices Food control may do more than
cure wasteful abuses in distribution,
and yet be worth while. To escape dis
couraging the farmer and yet relieve
the consumer Is not an easy job, yet by
institutlng economies in the distribution
and use Of food the thing may be done.
Hard pressed consumers are demanding
that at least the effort be made.--Lin-
coin Journal.

Washington, July 25.-Every Iowan
who enlists in the regular army during
regular army recruiting week. which
continues until next Saturday, will re-
duce by one the number Of men Iowa
will have to furnish by draft.
An official statement by the war de-
partment fixing June 30 as the last day
upon which enlistments to the regular
army and national guard will count
toward reducing states quota for the
draft, explains the machinery by which
each states quota Of soldiers will be
computed for the draft.
This statement says that computa-
ton will be made June 80 of the full
strength Of the national guard in each
state and the number Of recruits from
each state to the regular army since
April 1. These totals will be taken
into consideration when the draft is
made SO that states which have fur
nished men to the regular service will
be favored and Stacker states will be
penalized by the draft.
Quota-Ejxing Plans.
In a general way the plan Of fixing
each states quota will be as follows:
The national army Of $4,000 to be
drawn by draft, the $4,000 needed by
the regular army April / to bring it
to war strength of 100000, and the
100000, which represents approximate
ly the maximum strength Of present
recognized organizations Of the ma
tional guard, will be added together,
making total Of 1,13S,O0O.
This total of 1,13s,00O will be appor-
toned among the states, according to
population, to arrive at each states
quota. From this quota so computed
reduction will be made to the extent Of
the full strength of the national guard
in each state, and to the extent of re-
cruits which have joined the regular
army since April /. It is impossible
to make allowances for regular army
strength prior to April 1, as enlist
ments were not then classified by
states.
Iowa Short 942.
At the outset Of recruiting week
Iowa lacked 942, or about 20 per cent
Of it's quota Of 4,44S for the regular
army. II 1t falls short of this num-
Der during recruiting week the def
cheney will be added to the number to
be drafted.
Between April and June 10 Iowa
gained 400 men in national guard
strength SO that it is possible the guard
may be filled without the draft.
But the eastern states, most Of which
have been slackers i'm recruiting for
both the regular army and national
guard, face heavy draft. The reports
OF regular army and national guard
strength July will show to what ex-
tent they have done their share. II
they have failed, they will have to fur
nish their share Of soldiers by draft.
No men will be drafted for the navy,
as at last reports the navy lacked only
few thousand men for its regular
establishment and enough men are
coming in by voluntary enlistment to
man the ships.
