few DROPS AND
Corn LIFTS OUT
Says there Is no excuse for cutting
eOrns and inviting lOckiaw.

Sore corns. hard corns, soft corns

be lifted right out with the fingers if
you will apply directly upon the corn
a few drops of freezone, says a Gin

II is claimed that at small cost one
can get a quarter OF an ounce Of

sufficient to rid ones feet Of every

This simple drug. while sticky, dries
the moment it is applied and does'not
inhame or even irritate the surround

DONNELLY MEASURE VETOED
Bill Is Opposed Because Charity Or
eanizations Were Not Exempt
Says the Governor.

Madison - Gov Philip has vetoed
the Donnelly bill passed by the legis-
lature, restraining the alienation of
personal property for a longer period
than during the time of the lives of
two persons in being and twenty-one
years after their death. The bill pro-
posed to place the same restraint on
the change of ownership of personal
property as is now on real property.
The measure would if it became a
law, tend to restrain the making of
longtime trusts of personal property.
The governor in his veto message said
that he objected to the bill because
charitable institutions and assocta-
tions were not exempted from Its pro-
visions. and because it would tend to
create much litigation to determine
whether it was valid, as similar law
had created in New York state, where
litigants spent more than $1,000,00O in
lighting it in the courts and it was
still an open question as to the right
of the state to enact law containing
such harsh restrictions as did the
DOnnelly bill.

MISS LUSK TAKEN TO JAIL
Main Figure in Roberts Killing Re-
covers from SeIf-InfIicted Wounds
and Leaves Hospital.

Waukesha--Miss Grace Lusk, held
on a first degree murder charge in
connection with the death of Mrs.
David Roberts, was removed from the
municipal hospital to the county Jail
Miss Lusk has so far recovered
from her two self-inflicted bullet
wounds that she was able to walk to
and from the automobile which took
her to the Jail. She wept bitterly as
she was led into her room on the sec
ond floor. A deputy sheriff removed
a small wall mirror from the room,
and Miss Lusk smiled through her
tears as she told him she did not in
tend to commit suicide, but would see
the case against her through to a
finish"
Miss Lusk's quick recovery has
been somewhat OF a surprise to the
officials, who thought she would re-
main at the hospital for much long
er period.
After the shooting of Mrs. Roberts,
wife of DR.. David Roberts, in Miss
Lusk's room on June 21. the school
teacher turned her revolver on her
self, inficting two wounds, one just
above the lungs and one to one side.
She is said to have expressed disap-
pointment when informed that the
wounds would not prove fatal.

GETS FUNDS FOR RESEARCH
Two New FelIowships and Two Schol-
arships Are Established at the
University This Year.

Madison-Two new scholarships and
two new fellowships have just been
donated to the University OF Wiscon-
sir and accepted by the board of re-

work in pharmacy was instituted by

City to be used especially for research
work in the distilling of Monarda oil
in connection with its use in the man
ufacture of thymol. Extensive re-
search at this university has already
been devoted to this substance.
A fellowship of S400 for research
work in physics was given to the uni
versity by the Cutler-Hammer manu-
featuring company of Milwaukee,
manufacturers of electric controlling
devices. 1t is the aim of the scholar
ship to initiate cooperation between
the industries of the state and the uni
versity in working out problems of a
scientific nature.
The Madison branch of the Associa-
tion of Collegiate Alumnae established
a scholarship of 500 to be awarded
each year to a university woman, pref
erably one who has just completed
her junior year. This year the scholar
ship was awarded to Miss Esther A.
Peterson of Racine, junior in the col
lege of letters and science.
scholarship in English amounting
to $3.50 year for three years, to be
known as the Edwin Campbell Wool

To CUT OFF BIG REVENUE
Government Must Pay Cost Plus 10
Per Cent for All Liquor TakeR-
Measure Reccmmitted to Pro-
vide for Loss.

Washington, July 10. - Whisky is
dead in the United States for the
period of the war 1t went into oblivion
on Saturday when the senate voted to
prohibit use of foods for manufacture
of distillateS and adopted also an
amendment by Senator Smoot of Utah
directing. the president to commander
all distilled spirits now Ia bond and to
pay owners thereof the cost of produc-
ton plus notmore than 10 per cent as
profit.
The senate provision would limit
consumption To stocks IN retailers
hands or withdrawn before the law
goes into effect Stocks of distilled
beverages in bond were estimated at
between 200000,000 and 3O0,0OO, 900
gallons and the annual normal con
sumption at 120000,O00 gallons
TO purchase this quantity of liquor,
or what Is left of it after Withdrawals
in anticipation of the legislation. it is
estimated that the government would
have to spend from $300,0O0000 to ST.
000,000,000. The probable loss in fed
eral revenues waS placed at from
$2O0,0O0,000 to $400000,000, although
this as we'll as the cost of purchase
would depend entirely on how much
liquor was withdrawn tax-paid before
the communicating.
Immediate and probable enormous
withdrawal of distilled liquors from

provision could become effective was
generally predicted.
The government is expected TO use
all whisky and other bonded spirits
that 1t purchases in the manufacture
or war munitions and other supplies.
The action of the senate In accept
ing the Smoot amendment served as
twO-edged sword, cutting into the
vitals OF the whisky interests with
one edge and the war revenue bill
with the other. Coming entirely uneX-
pected to, leaders on the finance com
mittee. the Smoot provision caused
Senator Simmons to ask permission to
withdraw the revenue measure which
he had reported. inasmuch as some
substitute for liquor revenues thus cur

the action of the senate and in all
probability will maintain their nd
vantageous position when the food bill

Shipments Below Normal.

Madison-The state council of de-

force down the price of coal, that

ones considered at the weekly con

Not only must the price be reduced

piled the people of the northwest, es-
pecially of the region around Mime
sofa and the Dakotas which is sup
piled through Wisconsin distribution
points. will suffer greatly during the
coming winter.
The point is made now that while
navigation is open on the Great Lakes
the docks are empty or at least away
below the normal capacity. While
navigation is open coal shipments
must continue at more than a normal
rate if the shortage of last winter is
to be made up. To the contrary, how
ever, shipments have been under nor
NAL thus far since the coal boats be-
gan to ply the Great Lakes. If this
situation continues the northwest
will have to depend upon all rail
shipments after navigation closes and

its investigation has met with the ex
cuse that a car shortage between the
mines and the lake ports is RESPONSE

been accomplished, and Adjt. Gen
Holway says the infantry f>cruits. at
least, are going into camp in fairly
good shape The cavalry and artillery
also have had some training.
In Milwaukee, the cavalry troops
which have been organized have been
given some drill with the equipment
which has been furnished Company
A, and the men are going into camp
with at least some idea of the work
before them.
The artillery regiment is already at
/ Camp Douglas and it is understood the
government is furnishing equipment
so that the men are being given train
ing and are receiving work which will
put them on a first class footing.
The Wisconsin regiments are all In
fine shape physically and there is no
question but that practically every
man who has enlisted in the Wiscon-
sin National guard will be mustered
into the federal service. Great care
has been taken in the selection of re
cruits for the National guard and
practically all have passed physical
tests equal to that demanded by the
