Why You Should Never Pare a Corn

If you are troubled with corns or cal fuses, do not run the risk of blood poi son by pairing them. Statistics show that many deaths have occurred from this seemingly innocent practice of par ing cornS.
 Simply go to your druggist and get a few cents worth of Ice Mint, rub a little on any painful corn or callus. I'm, mediately the pain will disappear and in short time the corn or callus will loosen and lift off easily with the fingers-root and all--leaving the sur rounding skin in healthy, normal con dition.
 This, together with the fact that Ice Mint overcomes such affections as sore tired, aching. puffed or burning feet and makes them cool, easy and comfort able, is probably responsible for the hearty indorsement given it hy drug gists.
 TO rid ones feet of every hard corn soft corn, corn between the toes or pain full calluses in such pleasant and safe way, makes it seem the height of folly for any one to pare a corn. and people are warned to stop it.-Adv.

PARIS. December Lord North
cliffe today referred in glowing terms
to the American mission to the allied
conference and It's worth, repeating
what he said few days ago about Col.
Houses wisdom. Concerning the Junior
members, he remarked:
Tho American mission is suffering
from the right kind Of disease-youth.
I dare say there are those who would
like to see their places filled by lean
and slippered pantaloons with long
boards, but / like the youngsters best
for results have been in daily con-
tact with them at the conference and
those I dealt with are live wires fully
charged.
Col. House has reduced the vast as
semblage of allied nations to a series OF
small business committees and thus hot
air was entirely eliminated from the
start. I cannot reveal the conference
secrets, but when I looked at the gilded
chamber where 1t first met. and real
izing every man was loaded with a
speech my heart went out in gratitude
to the wise colonel. who had damned
ceau in his opening remarks took less
than two minutes. Our meeting broke
up and everybody settled to work"
When asked his opinion on Lord Lans-
downe's letter making peace sugges-
tions Lord Northcliffe replied: Il spent

always been: Let us find the best way

thus two weak countries might have
been created to take the place OF the

also believe that killing is glorious IL
they do the killing and can retain the

Evidence Against Germany.

The evidence went more and more
against Germany. and there were some
vicious sidelights which made the case
stronger against her: The German
country OF Belgium, which 1t turned
into q slaughterhouse, with the owners
for victims. and the German govern
ment said that the German army did
this because it would help Germany to
conquer France. At the same time the
Germans in authority told a great
number OF lies to excuse themselves.
Of course. men who were capable Of
these things in regard to Belgium
were Of a character distinctly capable
of having plotted the great war. and.
as they lied about Belgium. they
would lie about the rest Of 1t.
Since then evidence has piled up
rect that 1t leaves no doubt This evil
dence Is colossal and conclusive. and
Is almost all German. It is no longer
possible to debate the question. and
the court has decided-the court con-
sisting Of the nations of the world.
That court found that Germans plotted
to dominate the world and decided and
attempted to kill the men and women
and children Of certain other nations.
and to continue the killing until these
nations submitted to German domina-
tion. after which all remaining nations
would be compelled to submit.
OF course, a government which be-
lieves in violating oaths- that is, vio-
lating the honor Of the nation which it
represents or controls-such a govern
ment would lie to its own people. ct
made Germany a perjurer. for the Ger
man government stands before the
world as Germany and acts as and for
Germany-until the German people re-
move 1t, and only by removing 1t can
Germans regain for Germany some
thing Of lost honor.) This government
deceived its own people first about the
immediate causes of the war. then
about the historical causes of the war
and then most vehemently about the
character and intentions Of the allies
opposed to Germany.
