YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so It 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 n 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 lrri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

HAD A CAPITAL OF $500
In Six Years He Was Well Off

An Alberta farmer, who had bor-

history of his experience, on a Mani
toba farm. 1t was that of many anoth-

at farming, my trade being meat-cut-

$400, which was first payment on
my quarter section (16O acres). Most
of my stock, harness, implements, etc.,
were bought at sales, all ION time"
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 20 acres broken, and very
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning a
number of mischances he says: 'In

poultry fencing; have built root cellars

and other vegetables. As to income,
raise about ten acres Of garden and
roots annually which net from 5000 to
$1,000 total. I generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings

Denver, April 3.-The challenge of
war was answered by 10000 men and
women of Denver and Colorado in the
Auditorium Saturday night They
rose, 10000 of them, representing
every class and condition Of Colorado's
million people, to urge upon the ma
ton universal military training and
upon Congress "the full support to
every step that may be taken by the
administration to vindicate the ma
tional honor and the national right"
They declared that Germany had
Committed acts of war against the
United States" These sentiments, en-
bodied In a resolution forwarded to
Washington, carried with them a
pledge of loyalty and service from the
West. Church Joined with state, law
with education in urging war, if war
becomes necessary to carry out the
principles to which the United States
has committed herself. An Episcopal
bishop, black-robed priest, a Prot
estant pastor, Jewish rabbi, the
president Of great university, an edu-
Gator of international prominence, a
governor. a mayor, and two lawyers
combined to draw in clean-cut lines
the picture of the world crisis and
the duty of this country.
From the moment Ralph w. Smith.
executive chairman, called the meet
ing to order until Rabbi William 8.
Friedman closed with his prayer for
benediction, the enthusiasm grew un-
til the people stood and cheered wild
ly, waved thousands of flags and

They cheered T. ]. O'Donnell, prin-
cipal speaker of the evening, who
urged that the American flag be car
ried to the battle lines in France and
wave ahead Of legion in pursuit of
the helmeted invader as he recrosses
his own frontier, his back turned to-
ward the banners of democracy"
They cheered as each speaker de-
nounced the suggestion that the
United States back down from her
avowed position in this crisis.
They cheered loudly when Russia
was welcomed into the fold of democ-
racies. They rose and cheered again
when the Fort Logan military band
broke into the strains of the "Marseil-
laise" at the close OF plea for France.
Every move that looked toward pre-
paredness, every utterance that con-
tanned the spirit of fighting against
violations of the nations rights, met
with united. unanimous, complete sup
port. Not pacifist voice was raised,
not protest was heard.

Organized workers in Europe and Australia have been passing through the same process, and they will feel it more acutely after the war.
 Even in the midst of the Euro pean war the process of solving the problem has been progressing fav- orably and rapidly as the bleeding workers of the warning nations are gaining understanding, bought with their lives in factories, mills and trenches.
 Will the organized workers of America grasp their opportunity?
 Are they equal to the emergency which calls for construction and re- construction of their organizations upon a better and broader and more modern foundation, cemented by a real understanding of peace and good will, requisite for recognizing the labor movement of the world? They are. But many, if not all, must begin to understand-and- forgive.-Miners Magazine.
