ENGLISH USE WOODEN SHOES
The Sabot May Come Into Favor in
This Country, 20, 1t Is
Predicted.

1t is not impossible, as time goes on,
that the quotations of the leather mar
ket vii take second place to those of
substitutes for leather, since the in-
crease of such materials is assuming
large proportions. At present the sub
stituteS are combinations OF staple ma
terials and by-products, both of which
are produced by certain established
industries; but more and more the sub
stitute material will become an article
of commerce, hence a market" may
result, says the Boston Transcript.
1t is not assured, even with an in
creasing use of leather substitutes,
that the adoption of ''clogs" of wood
would not be desirable; the same to be
used in both city and country. Eng
land is making use of them and many
London children are wearing them to
and from school, and it has been sug-
gested that the factory workers in Ian
cashire and Yorkshire might adopt
them with advantage. The wooden
'sabot' is by no means going out of
fashion in England and in Europe, and
it is by no means improbable that an
increased use of those solid shoes may
continue after the war.
The wooden shoe or sabot could be
widely used in this country to the COM
fort of many, and the extension of the
service of leather or substitute boots.
The many chores that the householder
is obliged to do about a suburban or
country home necessitate heavy kind
of shoe, and the sabot where tested has
proved its worth.

Died of Premature Old Age

How many times we hear of COM

Gus the poisons passing thru the kid

gans be degenerated, and the sooner

1t IS thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, TO tighten the work of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink

and occasionally taking Anuric, double

obtained at almost any drug store. You

LIFT YOUR C0RNS

How to loosen a tender corn
or caIlus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes q 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 drops 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 a small
bottle of freezone for you from his

the state to buy foodstuffs which should have Deen
produced on the Arkansas farms.
Professor Holden realized that it would be
tremendous undertaking to change one-crop
system of forty years standing to safe system Oh
agriculture whereby the farmers OF an entire
state fright be induced to raise their own feed
and thus make cotton cash crop. But the great
err the odds, the greater the incentive with him,
and he entered upop the work with enthusiasm.
With a staff of sixty the campaign was
carried on for period of thirtyve days, approx
mately 1900 meetings being held in forty-mne
different counties, covering the entire cotton belt
of the state. The speakers were not eloquent
orators They were men who had given their
lives to the study of agricultural problems and
knew their subjects from A to 2 and back again.
They pointed out to the farmer the folly of buy
ing food and paying big profit to someone else
when he could just well raise that food at
home and save this big profit. Likewise they told
him that if the farmer up North could raise grain
and beef and pork and sell them to the Southern
farmer at a profit on lands valued at from 500 to
5000 an acre the Southern farmer could make
an even greater profit by raising these commod-
tiles for himself.
According to the Little Rock chamber of COM
merce this campaign added $30744,150 to. the
value of the agricultural products Of Arkansas, q
fact which is proved by government statistics.
But there other benefits of that campaign
which are not so easily measured. This huge
increase does not take into account the money
saved and kept in the state by the farmer who
raised his own food at home--money which in
other years had gone out of the state. never to
return. Nor does it take into account the fact
that by raising his food. the farmer enjoyed
q better living than ever before.
Thus one by the states of the Union are be
