PUT ON FEW DROPS
AND LIFT OUT CORN
Try this yourself, then pass it
along to others. It
works!

Good things should be passed along,
1t is now said that few drops of a
drug called freezone applied directly
upon tender, aching corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn, root
and all, can be lifted out without pain.
For little cost quarteraof an ounce
of freezone can be obtained from any
drug store which is claimed to be suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
This is drug recently announced
from Cincinnati. 1t is gummy but
dries the moment it is apE&ied ard
simply shrivels up the corn without
infaming OF even irritating the healthy
tissue or skin. =

UNRESTRICTED WARFARE

Declaration by Germany that all restrictions off in submarine warfare is the logical result of previous events. master stroke Ot diplomacy has been made by the TeutOnic ruler.
 The submarine is the strongest arm in Germanys sea power
 It was something new in war and by it's very nature could not abide by old rules. To give warning to arm ed liner was to invite sudden death for shot from small cannon is sufficient to finish sub. Not to give warning resulted in such terrible loss of life that those passing their judgment the called rules of war cried halt
 After much wranglng, rules were established to which little attention has been paid All these rules were in favor of the surface boats and none in favor o the sub marine No rules were suggested to make unlawful to send out warShip disguised as tramp trelghter flying the flag of neutral power for the purpose Ot urng sub marines to destruction. No one has recorded now many thousand Germans have been done to death through the methods by which their submarines caught and de StrOyed.
 The methods used against submarines are not to be excused any more than the manner in which the latter destroy merchant ships It's war that's all
 Realizing that the neutral world looked upon his subs with horror the Kaiser built merchant submarine to see how it would be treated by the enemy The order by allied chiefs was to sink 1t sight No warning to the crew how cOul they give Wanng for then the cuSSed thing would dive like a whale and escape. Neutral nations dominated by the allies forced to refuse haven o merchant subs.
 Then the shoe was on the other foot The allies were in the position of demanding that war subs before striking but in they refused to warn enemy mer- chant subs.
 To clmch the case the Kaiser offered peace-ts true ne did it in highhanded manner intended to anger the enemy into refusing to discuss terms It trap and they fell into it. Had they lodged and offered to discuss terms at length the would not have been success full.
 Now Germany stands as a nation in the last ditch fighting with the tenacty of despair against great odds
 The allies have openly declared their intention to crush the German nation and that to talk peace before that is accomplished will be considered unfrendy act
 Can you ask man who Is being StIangled to death to- observe the amenities and not bite df the strangerS thumbs if he gets chance?

SWfFTHFARTS COULDN'T TELL
 TWINS APART, WHY WORRY ?

ST. LOUIS.-(Special)-M Cor nelia Howe, St. Louis society girl, has married one of the Dooley twins and is certain she married Will. Miss Edmee Anheuser, of the wealthy St. Louis brewing family, will soon wed the other Dooley twin and she hopes she will marry Joe.
 But you can never tell about twins.
 Here's the rub: The Dooley twins look alike, talk alike, act alike, dance alike, dress alike. And what's more, the twins take delight in mixing themselves up.
 For instance, Joe used to call on Miss Howe, while Will was devoted to Miss Anheuser.
 One night for joke, they "Switcn- cd." When Miss Howe greeted Will as "Joe," Miss Anheuser likewise mis- took Joe for Will.
 It was a fateful evening. Will fell in love with Miss Howe, who thought he was Joe, and Joe fell in love with Miss Anheuser, who thought he was Will.
 Will came home, and with fear and trembling, broke the news to Joe tha5 he was engaged to Joe's girl. Joe, with ditto on the fear and trembling, returned the compliment.
 Later the twins broke the news to their fiancees that they were engaged to the wrong twin The young wom- en agreed the joke was on them, but neither was willing to switch back.
 When the Dooley doubles went in- to business, Joe wondered what sort of a stand-in he had with the boss, so

 The answer is, none.
 Advertising space will be sold at reasonable rates as lew as can be quoted to insure the best of service Print ing of the best kind will be turned out at fair price, n suring living for the printer,
 Printing materials are at the highest price in the history of present day methods hence the increase in price of finished product cannot be avoided anymore than price of finished product cannot be avoided any more than raw material for many products of the printing trade costs more today than the finished article was sold for rior to the European war.

the story goes. Meeting said boss on the street, he introduced himself as Will Dooley, and asked how his broth CT, Joe, was getting along.
 He is making good" the employer replied.
 Joe hurried back to the office and was at his desk when his employer arr rived.

Point to Wasted Funds When Thrust Into
 Chilly Hall

ScribeS, who are assigned to report the doings of the Washington State legislature at Olympia are at outs with the solons, and so far they have the best of the fight reportorially but are out in the cold physically.
 For one whole week, through the kindness of the senate, the scribes were given a room, radiating light and warmth.
 Today the home where the pencil pushers were wont to gather Tor prayer and labor, is being apparclcd in costly rugs and tapestries-a guest room for the ladies of the senate.
 By banging their typcwriters out in the wide corridor of the capitol build ing, the ncwspapermcn are able to claim the distinction of having the best ventilated press room in the world.
 Only four things, so far as is known, have better ventilation Nevski Prospect, in Pcuograd; Ira falgar Square, London; the Seattle municipal golf links, and Chinese money which has hole through the center.
 Then the scribes took swift revenge and sent out the following about the desecration of their press room, un- der the heading French Mirrors for Senator's Wives, State Pays"
