"Give me small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft

few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in

callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones rect OF

DOG HAS THE SIXTH SENSE
Scientists Declare Canine Possesses
One More Than Number of Which
Human Beings Boast.

Human beings, as is well known,
boast five senses; but the scientists
argue that the dog goes one better, and
possesses six. What the sixth sense
is has long puzzled the best authori-
mere sense of smell, as the following
instances show, according to London
Tit-Bits.
1t is possible, for instance, for a dog
to make it's way into crowd of people
and pick out it's master. In so doing
the animal uses its sense of smell !;
but there is another qualification to
be accounted for. Cases have fire.
quently been reported where dogs,
after being taken on long journeys by
train, have been lost amid their new
way home again. Such a case is that
of a retriever which was taken by
train to st. Adams, but, leaving its new
home shortly after arrival, returned to
it's home at Highgate Hill.
1t took the retriever two days to
cover this distance, and the dog was
well-nigh exhausted when it reached
Highgate Hill. How is it possible for
a dog to pick out its way in such a
manner? one might ask. The dog has
undoubtedly more than the five senses
credited to human beings, but scien-
lists have yet to tell us what the extra
one is.
When the dog has been taught to
speak we may perhaps have the prob
lem solved from self-experience.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase in United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Com
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States is de-
cidedly on the increase. This fact is
revealed by reason of census taken
of the insane, feebleminded, epileptics,
inebriates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental Hy-
gfene. Analysis of this census is found
In the Mental Hygiene. 1t was COM
piled by Horatio NJ. Pollack, statistici-
an of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith NJ. Furbush,
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase of population from
April Is, 1910, to January 1, 1917, was
$50 per cent. The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
of insane in institutions was 1877, 791.
The census taken in the present year
revealed 234.O55 insane persons In in
situations. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the CORE
spending period was 24.64 per cent, a
growth more than double that Of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate of increase Of the
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that Of the general popu-
lation in every state except Arizona,
Kansas. Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one of the states
In which the disparity between growth
Of population and increase in insan-
ity has been greatest In this state
the population increase was 0.S4 per
cent, as compared with a percentage
of increase of insane In institutions of
27.3S. The neighboring state Of Indi-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages Of 4-64 and PA re-
spectively.

Jus and his Dutch blockaders. Before
a southerly breeze the Spaniard ran for
the north, abandoning the effort to gain
command of the seas and hoping only
to round Scotland and make his way
back home.
The rest is pitifuf tale The Eng
lish followed until August 2, their guns
laundering and their hearts exulting as
now and then a tall ship plunged be-
meath the waves. Then perceiving an
apparent shift of the Spanish course
toward Norway, and being themselves
well nigh out of ammunition they
thought it best, in the words of Drake,
to leave them to those boisterous and
uncouth northern seas"
The weather that summer was al
most a succession of gales. The clumsy
Spanish ships were hard put to it to
keep af1oat. Many of them foundered
at sea with all on board. At least 10
are known to have gone ashore on the
coast of Ireland, where the Irish either
put the survivors to the sword or sent
them with halters round their necks
to Elizabeth at London. OF all the
magnificent fleet which had put to sea
with such pageantry and pride less
than so craft succeeded in making
their way back to Spanish ports.
Philips dream of world conquest
was at an end. Not so much as
single English pinnace had the great
armada sunk. England and the seas
about her were to remain free and
unconquered. The sea kings of Brit
ain had saved her and in truth singed
the beard of the king of Spain.
Drake sleeps deep in Nombre Dois
bay. His drum still hangs in Plymouth
Hoe and England has his promise:
eff the Dons sight Devon,
I'll leave the port of heaven
And We'll drum them up the Channel
AS we drummed them long ago.

Mistah Owen was caught after he had car ried a suitcase filled with booze into the home of Mistah Johnson, on Up per Brewery Gulch. Johnson was al so nabbed for having whiskey in his possession. At the trial yesterday Owen testified that a white man had given him dollar to carry the booze into the house. but said he did not know what was in the suitcase. John- son denied any knowledge of the booze, and said he aid not even know it was in his house until told by the officers. On account of the lack of evidence the two negroes were turned loose.

There probably is no stauncher pat riot in the Warren District today than Mary Raginovich, a native of Austria unless, perhaps. it be C. NJ. Gregovich who was born in Seryia. This state ment may sound strong, but anyone who was in city court late yesterday afternoon will verify it. The story of these two patriots is a rather stormy one, but it has an ending that should be an inspiration to every foreign born resident.
 Miss Raginovich and Gregovich are neXt-dOor neighbors. Wednesday evening they became involved in a heated argument that developed into a physical encounter. Each tells a different story. Gregovich claims that he started to put an American flag over his door and that the woman cursed him and the flag, accused hlm of being a spy and finally grabbed the flag from him and tore it in two. The Serbian declares he slapped the woman for her act and would have treated her worse were it not for the fact that she was woman.
 Complaint Issued
 Miss Raginovich denies this story. She claims that she and Gregovich were struggling for possession of the flag and that Gregovich was the one who tore it in an attempt to take the flag away from her.
 Wednesday evening Gregovich told Lieut.. Fred c. Wright, First Arizona Infantry. of the incident and the of ficer swore to a complaint in city
