KING OF RUMANIA Is
RENEGADE, SAYS KAISER

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 6.-The Ger
man emperor, in addressing the vet
Grams of the 1915 campaign In Ru-
mania on Saturday, according to
report received here from Berlin,
spoke of the Hohenzollern who had
succeeded a great and noble prince
and, Notwithstanding all traditions,
did not know how to keep the faith.
Emperor William alec described King
Ferdinand of .Rumania "a member OF
the house of Hohenzollern) as 1.-THE
renegade who at the time when Ger
many was engaged in a terrible war,
Joined the enemies of the empire
The emperor spoke of the eternal
miracle of German strength which had
been brilliantly proved adding:
Indeed the avenging hand of the
Judge above us has sealed the fate OF
His ruthless former friend. What the
Lord of Hosts may still have in store
we do not know, but, come what may,
we are able confidently to look the
world in the face. We did not will

Abandon Food Preiudices.

Don't be tinicky. Be willing to try
new foods. Certain plentiful and nour-
ishing foods widely used and enjoyed
in one section are practically unknown
In other sections of the country. Learn
to know all the good things, not few
only.
People too easily get into food ruts.
insist Oh eating only the food they are
used to and refuse to give a fair trial
to others. This causes undue demand
for certain staples. with resulting
scarcity or high prices when crops ar"
short At the same time other valuable
foods may be relatively cheap ant
available. \ striking instance Of this
is failure fully TO appreciate rice--a
valuable source of starch-when pota-
toes are scarce and high. Another ex-
ar,nle rs refusal in certain sections to
use anything but wheat as a bread

This Man Finds Terms to Fit Emer0en.
cies For the Dictionaries.
There are In the world many un.
usual and unique occupations, but per-
haps the strangest Of all which pays u
good income Is that Of q New York
newspaper man who earns, in addition
to his regular salary from the paper.
rather regular amounts from the pub
fishers of dictionaries. encyclopedias
and other such volumes. His Occupa-
ton is the inventing Of new words.
The casual observer would be in
clined to remark that the English Ian
guage already possesses enough words
for all uses without the invention OF
any new ones. and probably his state
ment would be fact. Nevertheless 1t Is
true that this man is paid substantial
sums for inventing new words to hit
special phases. situations. occupations
and occurrences. and that the publish
ers Of dictionaries will incorporate into
them any new word based ON substan-
tial derivatives for the existence or
which plausible reason can be made.
The progress Of modern business. and
especially the discoveries that have
been made in the fields of electricity
and medicine in the last decade, have

Miss Jessie B. Merrick, director Of

boratory Of health. She points out that
there was time when w0man's house

ever, and woman has taken her place 20
actively In the business world with

tunity to live q rational life In which
she would exercise every part Of the
body In accordance with its natural
functions.
Good posture is to be thought about.
It depends upon the maintenace Of nat
ural conditions Of life. Some health
specialists attribute all abnOrmalities
Of health to bad posture. Depressed

and poorly adapted furniture all con-
tribute to a slouchy sitting or standing

Bad posture is blamed for such dis

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS !!
Apply a Few Drops Then Lift Corns
or Calluses off With Fingers
' No Pain. "a

N humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called %freezone and is
a compound Of ether. discovered by
a Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost
but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corr or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corr or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freeHone have him order it for
you.-Adv.
