MEANS END OF ARMY MULE
Mechanical Substitute, II lie Said, viii
DO Away With Need for the
Animals Services.

II has been said OF the army mule
that he absorbed more food, endured
more blows, stood for more profanity
and performed more work than any
other creature that ever came In con-
tact with man.
Now IL we are to believe certain ru-
mors in the newspapers, the time Is nj
hand when there isn't going to be any
army mule. He isn't even TO be taken
into the military service to maintain

stories or to develop the art Of cuss-

comrades, swear terribly in Flanders

long-legged, sure-shot kicker who, In
previous wars, has worn mems TEN

something else.
The substitute for the mules thews
Is mechanism that looks like bass

said to be just iron and power. with
an Incidental thirst for liquid fuel. IL

wagons, to make armies hump to keep

that by its sole efforts II will carry the

sibly is exaggeration. But 1t Is plain
enough that the army has become
emancipated from the mule. The fell
low could do wonders, but this tractor
affair will do miracles. And that is
what army men pray for.
We can imagine that some old SOL
diers will sorrow over the passing Of
the mule. They remember his virtues
well and have forgotten his teeth and
his hind feet. Man cherishes the pic

Town Clerk Bears War Load.

Wartime tasks have so hardened
some of the town clerks in England
that one, ut least, has protested, as
sertlKg that he now works from nine
O'clock In the morning until IL o'clock
at night, and that If the authorities
add to his already multifarious duties,
he will have to go without sleep. In
his protest he gives the following list
Of wartime duties to which he already
was required to attend:
National registration, wartime cook
cry demonstration, war hospitals, food
economy campaign, local flag days. ma
tlonal service, occasional baby weeks,
communal kitchens, allotments, pota'
to spraying, local coal supplies, mater
nifty and child welfare, local dlstribu-
ton, and separation allowances.
A proposal to require him to admin
lster food supplies aroused his revolt.

An Illuminating Postcard.

A young girl of plebeian ancestry
achieved fame as an actress In Lon
don. Feeling the necessity, however,
of rest from her labors, she wrote to
her uncle, police sergeant of a coun.
try village, asking him If she might
come and stay with him to recuperate.
She ended her note: please send p.
9. to say II l may come"
A few days later her landlady rushed
upstairs with an awestricken coun-
tenance-a policeman wanted her! The
girl descended with an ominous feel
ing at her heart, says London Tit-Bits.
IF you please, miss" said the stolid
being who confronted her, cycling her
with stern disapproval, 'Tm the p. G.

polite and told the man that all lines
had been busy, and that he had m

moment. The man at the other end
grumbled again and said he wished to
know the time. He got what he wanted
and did not even thank the clerk.-In.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS

How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so 1t 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 few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
n 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 corn 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 yet, tell him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

On Writing letters.

Il was told by Capt. Harry Light the
other day." writes Canadian major,
shat there is a new style in trench
letters. The censOr's duties have
been reduced by many per cent. The
soldier now has the sense of the stu
alton engrained in his thinking. He
sees through the need of keeping quiet
even on matters that call for some
criticism. There is more humOr and
matter-of-factness about his letters.
One of my men, who can't write very
well, was telling me the other day that
one letter week is all that he can
summon up his courage to write, and
he gave this as a reason: The people
at home don't, can't understand life
here. We have got to go through it.
Why tease them with anxieties-they
have enough to put up with in paci-
fists and political grumblers.' And /
think he is right. Don't you?"
