Under date Of Jan. >, Miss Amy
Owen Bradley, who recently went from

service Of the American Fund for
French Wounded, has written an inter
osting letter to the Brattleboro com .
mittee, which has Just been received
by the secretary, Mrs, IL. c. Rice. 1t
reveals in an entertaining way the ap-
probation shown b. the wounded
French soldiers for what Americans
arc doing for them and emphasizes
the need Of continued effort The let

LIKE ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why Com is so Painful and
Says Cutting Makes Them Grow.

Press an electric button and you
form q contact with live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes its sharp
roots down upon sensitive nerve and
you get a shock Of pain.
Instead Of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for a
quarter Of an ounce Of freezone. This

remove every hard or SOFT corn or cal
lus from one S feet. A few drops ap-
piled directly upon tender, aching
corn stops the soreness instantly, and
soon the corn shrivels mp so it lifts
right out, root and all, without pain.
This drug is harmless and never in
flames or even irritates the surround

very imperfect details Of what is being
done for the stricken sons Of France
and their alien foe, we feel il pleas
urable duty to record the gratitude Of
every Frenchman for the noble munif
icence Of America. Already over eight
cen millions Of dollars have been sent
to the sister republic in her hour Of
need. American ambulances have re-
ceived official recognition for their
splendid organization. As messengers
of mercy, Americans have earned the
gratitude Of the whole human race.

WILSON Determined
TO Arm MERCH'TMEN

WASHINGTON, Mar. 6-It is au-
oritatively stated that President Viii
son will do everything possible to find
q way to arm American merchantmen
despite the failure of the senate to
pass the armed neutrality bill giving
him this power specifically.
Final decision as to whether the
president can legally do this is expect
cd shortly.
In deciding his legal status the pres
hent and his advisors are considering
the intent of the old statute passed
In 1919 which was cited in the senate
as prohibiting the arming of merchant
men for action against vessels of ma
tiOns at peace with the United
States.
An extra session of congress before
July to pass the appropriation bills.
Il nothing else. seems certain
N the senate amends its rules to as
sure prompt action on the armed neu-
trality bill. an extra SESSION OF con-
gress may be expected during the next
two or three weeks. Many messages
have been received from all parts OF
the country bitterly criticising the ac-
tiOn OF the senators who prevented ac-
ton on the armed neutrality bin.
Senators Vardaman. of Mississippi
and Kenyon OF Iowa. two of the L.
senators who did not sign the mani
festo favoring armed neutrality. ex
planned in the Senate that they had
not been in a conspiracy to prevent
a vote on the measure. Senator Lodge
has again introduced the armed neu
trality bill into the Senate.
