HRITISH Army Headquarters in
X France, Nov zs.-American en-
- gineers. the first American
troops to be in military operations on
the British front, took a prominent
part in the breaking OF the linden
burg line by Gen Byng last week.
Military necessity has made it impos-
sible TO speak Of their presence be-
fore, but it is now possible to inform
the people Of the United States that
engineers of the American army had
a large part in pushing up the vital
railways behind the advancing
British soldiers.
Have been In For -Four Months
As a matter Of fact the American
engineers have been laboring on the
roads through the devastated battle
fields Of the Sommc district for
nearly four months and two of their
men, who were wounded. We're the
fIst American casualties announced
from Washington. The speed with
which the lines have been laid up
through the broken HindenbUrg line
Garing the past week has called
forth the highest praise from the
British authorities. The Americans
have been working in shifts. "a hours
a day and no such amount OF track
has been laid in this region in so
short q time before The manner in
which they stood up under the strain
has led TO their being dubbed the
force OF American athletes" for
these untiring soldiers are as fit and
as willing as they were before the
battle began.
Work Under Heavy Fire.
Naturally the Americans have for a
long time been working under the
range Of enemy artillery and more
than once they have come under
heavy shell fire One Of the most
striking sights along the front has
coolIy at their tracks with great
shells bursting 100 yards away
Three Miles Blown Up
At one time the Germans cut loose
with their guns on a section of the
tracks and tore up three miles OF
rails which had been laid with much
labor, but they scarcely had finished

PENDANT testified that the truck was pro-

that the horn was blown repeatedly, to

the car pass. Michael L. Thompson

EMPLOYEES MUST
KEEP CORNS OFF
Says They Destroy Efficiency But Can
Be Lifted Right Out
Now

Many large retail establishments now
insist that every employee have corn
less feet. because one can not appear
pleasant before a patron or be fully eff
iicient when the brain is constantly re-
mindful of these painful pests.
The simplest method known to get
relief is to apply a few drops of freezone
directly upon the tender, aching corn,
which promptly relieves the soreness and
soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts
right out without pain.
A quarter ounce of freezone will cost
very little at any drug store but is suf-
ficient to remove every hard or soft corn
or 'callous from ones feet.
This drug is gummy but dries in mo.
ment and seems to just shrivel up the
corn without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin.
This should interest many men and
women here.-Adv.

they have thrown them away. One man

my eyes do not hurt any more. At night
they would pain dreadfully. Now they

miracle to me- A lady who used it says:

without glasses, but after using this pre-
scription for 10 days everything seems
clear. can read even fine print with
out glasses" Another who used it says:
II was bothered with eye strain caused
by overworked, tired eyes which induced
fierce headaches. / have worn glasses for
several years both for distance and work,
and without them l could not read my
own name on an envelope or the type
