BUSINESS TO BOOM
No Reason for Nervousness Over
 Effect of War.
Era of Great Prosperity Ahead of Country - Financial Excesses Checked by Administrations
 Wise Handling of Situation.

Some nervous people seem to fear
 he effect war will have on business in this country. There is no occasion for that. Rather, there is warrant for anxiety lest we have too much busi- ness. An era of prosperity is ahead which might lead to financial eXcesses, but there is no ground for the fear that we may face depression.
 Congress has voted a war credit of S7,000,00O,000. Some of that is to be turned over to om' allies, but all of it is to be spent in this country for food, clothing, munitions and other supplies. All that money will be poured back into the channels of trade within a year.
 There was in circulation on Novem- Der l, 1916, in the United States S41.1S for each man, woman and child-a rec ord probably never equaled anywhere in the history of the world. We are about to turn into our marts the al- most incomprehensible sum of $70 per capita for our 1OO,OO0,O00 people, and still some fear there may be business stagnation.
 The real problem is to prevent pros perity from getting beyond our con- trol. The wise heads at Washington are not unmindful of the possibility of boom conditions that might lead us to extravaganza. They are proposing to finance a large percentage of our war expenses by taxation, to make us pay as we go along. The tendency of that policy will be to prevent imitation and undue speculation.
 A good part of the billions that are expended, as a result of war, will get back into the treasury in the shape of taxes on profits, and assessments levied in various ways. There is no question about our ability to pay. We shall do more business than ever be- fore. Money will be more plentiful and easier to get than before. It will be the part of wisdom to curb with taxes the tendency toward wasteful- ness.

American Spirit Will Win.

Our duty in the war Is the subject of an editorial in almost every paper in the United States. Says the Chi cago Tribune: "This democracy is not timid and is not afraid. It has the will, and the will shall prevail. The American spirit demands success. It demands a win. We do not care what the enterprise may be, it must be won. The United States does not want an alibi. It wants results, and it can get results. It has the will to win. Let Germany provide the alibi"

YES! LIFT A CORN N
 OFF WITHOUT PAIN! Cincinnati man tells how to dry up corn or caIIus so 1t lifts
 off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus .loosens so 1t can be lifted off, root and all, without pain.
 A small bottle of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but will posi- lively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it Is inexpensive and is said not to irri- tate the surrounding skin. ~
 If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Secretary McAdoo's Good Work.

In the matter of apportioning the loans to our allies the secretary of the treasury may be relied upon to act with promptness, courage and fore sight. He is performing a work of heroic proportions, more effective against Germany than any single army. The blows he administers are not spectacular, but they reach a vital spot and are of terrific violence. They are backed by the mighty power of the American people and a continent of resources. The nation is exerting it's money power effectively because MT. McAdoo thinks and acts on national scale.

at Edmonton, Alberta, in the last twelve months as for the same period of the year before.
 The number of settlers from Eastern Canada migrating to the west also in creased. From January to March 31, 1917, the number of cars of stock that passed through the Winnipeg yards was 75O, as compared with 361 last year. A fair estimate of the value of each car would be about $2,OO0, which means that the west has secured addi- tional live stock to the value of $150,- GOO or more, during the first three months of 1917, not taking into account that brought in by immigrants from the United Standardization

The Liberty Loan,

It has been thought wise to name the war loan and Secretary McAdoo has chosen the Liberty Loan" as the title most appropriate. The name tells the story in words that every Ameri- can understands. It Is appropriate and significant. Every American who can should feel called upon to sub- scribe, and the money should be forth coming without delay. The prosperity of the country is marked and the spirit of patriotism is running high, com, bination that should insure hearty and instant response to the appeal.

MAYORS, JUDGES, HIGH oFFI. cIALs, BANKERS, LAWYERS, DOCTORS AND EDITORS
 INDoRSE TT.
FEEL IT THEIR DUTY TO TALK
They Come Forward and Unhesitat- lngIy Tell Suffering Humanity What Celebrated Medicine Has
 Done for Them.

TT Is seldom, indeed, that men of prom ! thence, especially men holding high public office, willingly express their in- debtedness publicly to a proprietary medicine. Many prominent men, how ever, including supreme court judges, mayors of our leading cities, prominent state and county officials, bankers, law yers, doctors, editors, leading educa- tors, government officials and even min lsters of the Gospel have deemed 1t their duty to come forward and tell the people what Tanlac has done for them.
 These well-known men of affairs have recognized in this medicine new discovery and a scientific triumph in the medical world. It is well-known fact that these splendid Endorsements have been given Tanlac time and time again and they will continue to be given just as often as new tests of its powers are made; and 1t also explains why numbers of the big drug firms of the country are ordering it exclusively in carload lots.
 Doctor Prescribes It.
 Dr. J. T. Edwards, of Fayetteville, Ga, one of the best-known members of the medical profession in the state of Georgia, makes a statement that will undoubtedly produce a profound impression throughout the South.
 "In my thirty years of actual prac- tice as licensed physician in the state of Georgia" says pr. Edwards, q have never seen anything to equal Tan- lac as medicine to produce results. I have no hesitancy in recommending this medicine and I am prescribing 1t for my patients almost every day."
 Professor O. T. Clotfelter, prominent educator and principal of the High School at Ben Hill, Ga., says: "I was in such bad physical condition that l feared I would have to give up my duties. suffered from rheumatism, sluggish liver, nausea and terrible bill ious headaches. I have taken 8 bottles of Tanlac and I feel better than have felt in years."
 Noted Texan Talks.
 Hon. Archie R. Anderson, ex-sheriff of Harris County, Texas, Is unques- honably not only one of the best known, but one of the most popular men that ever held office in Texas. He served the people in this important of- Hce for 15 consecutive years.
