Eduardo Zamacois
Says Spain Will
Keep Out Of War
Sympathy Is With France, Blu
People Want Peace; Revo-
luton Not Imminent

"A revolution in Spain is not immi-
nent. Nor is it likely that Spain will
enter the war. The Spanish people
want peace They are tired Of wars.
They have had too many OF them. and
are exhausted. Spain has not yet
wholly emerged from her medievalism
because of those many wars. She is
now earnestly preparing to take her
place alongside of the modern and pro-
gressive nations Of the world. Yet ncr
heart and soul is with her neighbor.
France, and her allies. The spirit Of
the people is with the cause Of France.
Forty thousand Spanish volunteers
are shedding their blood for that cause
and for their neighbor. They are in
the trenches across the Pyrenees fight
ing for democracy and the liberation
OF the world.
Eduardo Zamacois, one OF the fore.
most Spanish publicists and men Of
letters, who has just left New York en-
route from Madrid to South America,
gave these views Of SPANS position
in the present phase of the war. He
discredits the reports Of revolution
which have been coming over the ca
bles at regular intervals. 1t is true,
however, he adds. that the people, eX-
GLIDING the clerical. military and arls-
tocratic groups, are dissatisfied with
the present order. The labor troubles
are but one symptom.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen tender corn
or caiIus SO It 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 a few d-ops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a 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
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
