Pacifists During Civil War.

Samuel J. Kirkwood, governor of Iowa.
during the civil war, had no use for paci-
fists, according to the author of a biogra-
ply, which will soon be published by the
State Historical society of Iowa, says
the Des Moines Capital. I'VE are eminent
ly a peaceful and peace loving people,
said Governor Kirkwood in a message
to the legislature. "and the Interruption
of our peaceful a%vocations by war and
its incidents bears hardly upon us; but
we must remember that the only way to
bring back and make permanently secure
to us that peace we love SO well. is to
convince those who have thrust this wal
upon US and to convince all others that.
although we love peace much, we love our
scountry's honor and the perpetuity of our
union more, There may be amongst US a
ISM, a no o of country, and can see
nothing, but sordid gain! There may be
amongst us a few others who, blinded by
prejudice engendered by former political
strife. cannot forget that the government
Is guided in this struggle for it's life by
the hands of their political opponents, and
who would rather see 1t perish thar have
1t saved by their hands, who will cry
peace when there is no peace. and who
will endeavor to turn us from the prose-
cution of this war by dwelling Upon and
ex~aggerating the misfortunes it has
brought and will bring upon us. But these
men are few in number and weak in in.

LIFT YOUR CoRNs
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to Ioosen q tender corn
or callus so It lifts out
without pain.


Let folks step on your feet hereafter ;
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called %freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the. corr or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug vet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

The wal has certainly served to lift the
humble potato to a special throne of its
own in the human dietary. During the
800 years since the potato was introduced
to mankind from America the estimation
Of its food value has been constantly ris-
ing, until now with scientific approval it
has come to be lookedtupon as one OF MI
most important f~oodstuffs. The potato
used to be thought mainly valuable for its
starchy content, though human expert
ence seemed to show a wider value than
this; Certain races in Europe, notably the
Irish, succeeded in living, In times of
stress particularly. almost exclusively on
Potatoes and buttermilk. Such a diet would
seem to be too low in nitrogen elements
for health and strength maintenance, but
recent Investigations lave confirmed hui
man instinct and c~Ontradicted scientific
conclusions. There are now a series of
important studies which show thu the
potato can be even an excellent source of
nitrogen for the human body, supporting
It with only the addition Of butter; It Is
in the United States the largest crop OF
potatoes that we have ever mad, and 1t is
evident that they were never so welcome
as now. Prince Potato comes into the
recognition Of his royal rights in the food
line. just at the opportune moment.

TEALREBEKAHS' LUNCH

What was intended to have been

hall sort of went awry, owing to the
activities on the part of a crowd Of
high school boys who sought to cut
the high cost Of living by swiping
the luncheon that was to have been
served after the business session Of
the lodge.
The ladies had provided coffee,
sandwiches, cream, cake, etc., galore
and all that goes to make up first
class and satisfying menu. But the
kids got onto the layout and it was
case of good night lunch. The
boys lugged off the whole works and
after having slowed it away on the
inside of their anatomy brought
back the dishes.
The police were notified and Chief
Ripple has the bunch spotted" No
arrests will be made and no doubt
the matter will be settled satisfac-
torily to all concerned, except per-
haps, some feeling over the disap-
pearance of the lunch may be dam
aged beyond-repair.
