Capitalists Agitate Preparedness
To Protect Their Inuestnents Scott Nearing Says
American Youth Called Upon To Make Sacrifice To
Insure Holdings of Wall Street Spectators, Is The
Cry of Toledo Professor.

Scott Nearing, Dean of the College
of Arts, University of Toledo, flayed
Wall street and preparedness in his ad
dress on the subject, "The Germs of
War;" at the Peoples Church, Grand
Opera House, last Sunday afternoon.
Economic competition was given as
the cause of war between nations BY
the speaker, who said the present agita-
ton Tor preparedness was instigated by
capitalists who have invested their sur
plus wealth i'll the resources of other
countries with the expectation of hav-
ing their holding protected by the
youth of this country.
The present trouble in Mexico he
blamed on New York capitalists, who
he said, had stolen the country's re-
sources, debauched its Government and
exploited its labor for their own profit"
He called upon President Wilson and his
advisers to make public the Sinister and
unscrupulous influences that are afoot
in Mexico" to which attention was call
ed in the Presidents warning to the
American people, March &C. 1916.
mature Against War;"
Human nature, he declared, was
against war; and the ordinary citizens
or all countries preferred the blessings
of peace to the privations and horrors
of warfare.
The speaker maintained the present
European conflict was in reality a trade
war between Germany and England for
commercial supremacy. He said in part ::
patriotic Germany was ready to pro-
tect the investments of her capitalists.
Patriotic England was willing to defend
her capitalists. A shot sounded from
somewhere, and England and Germany
were at war.
"Now the American capitalists, who
are in charge of similar exploiting
system, are actively engaged in their
efforts to lay their hands on Mexico and
South America. Germany and England
were strong there before the war. They
are busy now, and it is Uncle Sans

NEWS OF STEELTON
QUESTION CHIEF
IN AUTO ARRESTS
Gardner Under Fire For His
Rigid Enforcement of
Law

An acrimonious debate was inject
ed into the meeting of the Borough
Council last evening through Chief
of Police Gardner's rigid enforce
ment of the provisions of the bor-
ough traffic ordinance passed last
April. Through this enforcement
number of prominent men of the
borough and of other places were
summoned before Burgess Wigfield
and fined for speeding their auto
mobiles over the borough streets.
The debate only ended when n
motion, made bp President Nelly,
calling for the dismissal of Chief
Gardner, was lost by vote of four
to three. The question was first
brought to the attention of the bor-
ough fathers by Councilman McEn-
tee, chairman of the police commit
tee. who made the announcement
that opposition to the chief existed.
Willing For Vote
Before taking a vote Councilman
McEntee asked that Chief Gardner
be given an opportunity to resign.
Gardner said that, since he had made
an effort to carry out the duties of
his office, he was satisfied to let the
matter go to a vote.
Both councilman Sellers and
the actions of the police department
and the former argued that the mo-
ton for dismissal would, if passed,
reflect upon the town through en-
couraging crime. The motion for
dismissal was defeated by four to
three, with two members not voting.
President Nelly adjusted the
standing committees OF Council by
placing Councilman Rider, of the
Fifth ward, on the highway and ord
nance committees, and by placing
Councilman Craig on the police and
sanitary committees.
A committee from the Business
mems Association asked Council that
some adjustment be made so that
outside showcases which had been
made stationary could be left in po-
sition during hours in which an or
dinance provides that they shall be
removed. A motion was passed that
the borough solicitor draw up a reso-
luton granting the request of the
businessmen and providing that in
the future outside cases shall be in
stalled only with the permission of
Council
A new. ordinance regulating the
collection of garbage was passed on
first reading. The ordinance has
been drawn up to facilitate garbage
removal with an automobile truck,
which has been purchased. The
ordinance provides that the Highway
Commissioner shall distribute copies
of the rues for garbage collection to
residents of town previous to the
time that the new system of collec-
tion goes into effect.

started on the new addition to the

New TurntabIe Ready
The new turntable in the engine
house has about been installed. owing
to the increased size of locomotives
the old turntable became too small
and the new one had to be placed. 1t
is twenty-five feet longer than the old
one.
Recently the new brick storehouse
for the enginehouse supplies was plac-
ed into service. Since this building
has been completed storage room for
several additional locomotives in the
enginehouse has been provided for.
A number of other improvements
were planned to be done during the
summer, but owing to the war and the
shortage of labor they have been
abandoned Chief among the contem-
plated Improvements was the laying
of nine additional tracks in the east
bound classification yards.

Piled me so that l was often unable
even to walk about the house.
1T was awful. My feet would burn
like fire all the time and nothing I
could do would give me any relief
although I tried everything I could
think Of.
Then suddenly they would begin
to swell and they would pun up un-
til there was a great ridge at the top
of my shoes and I would have agon-
izing pains in both feet and limbs.
Finally 1 made up my mind to
try Tanlac as last resort and to my
delight it began to help me right
away. Now the swelling and pain has
all gone away and 1 can walk or.
work all day without suffering.

Why You Should
Never Pare a Corn

II you are troubled with corns or
calluses, do not run the risk of blood
poison by pairing them. Statistics
show that many deaths have occurred
from this seemingly innocent practice
of pairing corns.
Simply go to your druggist and get
a few cents worth of Ice-Mint, rub a
little on any painful corn or callus.
Immediately the pain will disappear
and in a short time the corn or callus
will loosen and lift off easily with the
flngers-root and all-leaving the sur
rounding skin in a healthy, normal
condition.
This, together with the fact that
1ce-Mint overcomes such affections as
sore, tired, aching. puffed or burning
feet and makes them cool, easy and
comfortable, is probably responsible
for the hearty endorsement given 1t
by druggists.
To rid ones feet of every hard corn.
soft corn, corn between the toes or
painful calluses in such a pleasant and
safe way. makes it seem the height
of folly for anyone to pare a corn. and
people are warned to stop it.-Adver-
tisement.
