WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calluses off with fingers
no pain.

No humbugI Any corn, whether hard.
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is a
compound Of ether discovered by a Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which viii cost but
d trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the
corns or calluses but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just thinki No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order It for you.

tion laws is this: to make a law
binding each and every owner
of stock to use a good prepar-
alton on their stock at home, be-
gtaning in early spring and con
tinuing until the ticks are stamp
ed out. And in the fall send an
inspector around to inspect
every mans stock, but not let
the people know when he is
coming. And if there is any
ticks found on any Of our cattle
let us pay a fine sufficient to
make US to become very diligent.
There is no use in dipping
stock two or three years. Please
give us laws that will render
justice to all, and not make the
dlllgent suffer for the careless
ness of the careless, and the
just for the unjust.
This way of eradicating the
ticks would be of 80 much less
expense to the people. Let us
have fine of one hundred dol
lars placed upon us if we fail to
GET the ticks off our cattle by
next fall When we employ
men to work for US we expect
them.to work to our interest,
and if they don't we expect to
discard them at once. And
when we pay men to make laws
for US we expect them to make
laws that will impart justice to
the people throughout the whole
realm.
Respectfully submitted to the
consideration of all who may be
concerned.
Yours respectfully,
Plinny Savell.

CATTLE DIPPING

Laws should be made to benefit
the people at large instead of
detirment. The law that is now
in force binding the people of
our country to dip their cattle
whether they have ticks or not
is unjust.
We dipped our cattle last year,
b. t before dipping we gave them
close inspection to see if we
could fud any ticks, but we
could not find a single tick on
any OF them. Nevertheless we
applied our treatment to every
one Of them. We dipped some
>of our pigs thinking it would
kill the lice on them,
but it failed. One application
of our treatment killed the lice
and also the nits on them.
Where COW is placed in my
care for treatment for tick eradi-
cation even in the worst form,
/ would pay one hundred dollars
il / failed to rid the COW of ticks
in one month.
| advocate the idea of sending
an Inspector to inspect the cat
tie, and those who have ticks let
them dip according to law, and
not make others dip who have
no ticks and hasu' had for some
time.
| think it quite unjust to force
man to dip who has no ticks
on his cattle, because he lives in
a county where others live who
has ticks, unless their pastures
join.
Here is my formula for tick
eradication One at pine Tar
one at. coal oil, two q's. grease
and two tablespoonfulls sulphur.
Mix well and apply thoroughly
once weeK. | consider this for
mula far superior to the dip.
You can eradicate the ticks in
SO much shorter period OF time.
In addition to the external
treatment give them little
salt, sulphur, ,copperas and strong
ashes Or slake lime, as that is
fine to asst the other treatment.
Give itonce a day in q little
feed. Give them this tonic for
one month at least, and longer
il necessary.
My view on the tick eradica-

BIG WAGES FOR WORKERS.
New York Lon9shoremen Getting High.
est Pay In Unions History.

Sat ray III UNIONS T1lSLoTys
Nowhere in the city are laborers get
ting so much money as on the water
front, says the New York World.
Longshoremen in the Chelsea section,
according to the records of their I'M
ion, get a maximum of $50 a week,
the highest wage known in that IN
dustry since the union was formed.
And the thousands of workers along
the water front are tucking away their
money In savings banks or use it in
building homes In New Jersey. With
In the last six months 80 per cent Of
the longshoremen In the Chelsea Sec
ton have bought building lots in Jer-
sey towns and are putting first class
houses on them.
The minimum weekly wage of the
longshoreman is $50 on q ten hour
day basis at 40, 60 and 80 cents an
hour. The big wage is earned on
overtime, Sunday work and special
Jobs on munition boats. The men get
double pay for all munition labor done
down the bay-that is, 80 cents an
hour for day work, $1.2O an hour for
night work and $1.60 an hour for Sum-
day work.
This is sure peace and prosperity
wave we're having" said s. j. Ryan,
general secretary of the Longshore-
mems union, recently. II can't say
that there is any alarming scarcity of
labor in our line, but we've been able
to get work for many Of the striking
car men at the high rate in effect now.
Eyes, the wise worker is piling away
his earnings. The booze man is get
ting mighty little of it now. Most Of
1t is going into homes. In referring
to the prosperity here want you to
keep in mind that while there Is two
year agreement in effect calling for 35,
80 and 60 cents an hour this rate was
voluntarily increased by the employers
: to 40, so and so cents"

Z Has the supreme court ever defined
the national constitution as to the right
of woman suffrase7
The court has construed the opera
ton Of the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution on woman suffrage.
That amendment, adopted In 1868, de-
clared that "all persons born or nat
uralized in the United States are cih-
zens Of the United States and of the
state wherein they reside" and that
''no state shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities Of citizens of the United
States" This amendment to the con-
stitution was adopted to protect the
right Of negroes to vote, but it was
contended by some that 1t conferred
the right equally on women as citizens
Of the United States. Several women
In different states voted or offered to
vote, and the question Of their right
under the fourteenth amendment final
ly came before the supreme court.
The vote Of Mrs. Virginia L. Minor
was refused In st. Louis, and she
brought suit against the inspectors Of
election. The case was decided against
her in the circuit court Of the county
and the supreme court Of Missouri.
She then carried it to the supreme
court Of the United States-Minor YER
sus Happensett ct al, October term,
1874. The case was argued by her
husband, Francis Minor. The decision
was delivered by Chief Justice Waite
March 20, 1875, and was in brief: "The
| national constitution does not define
! the privileges and immunities of citi-
J Eens. The United States has no voters
| Of its own creation. The constitution
does not confer the right of suffrage
upon any one, but the franchise must
be regulated by the states. The four
teenth amendment does not add to the
4 privileges and immunities of citizen;
1t simply furnishes an additional guar
antee to protect those he already has.
Before the passage Of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments the states
had the power to disfranchise on ac-
count of race or color. These amend.
ments, ratified by the states, simply
forbade that discrimination. but did
not forbid that against sex. > ' Be
| ing unanimously of the opinion that
the constitution Of the United States
does not confer the right of suffrage
upon any one and that the constitu
ton and laws of the several states
which commit that important trust tc
men alone are not necessarily void, we
affirm the judgment Of the court be
low" This left the question OF wo
man suffrage to the several states.
