Cincinnati man tells how to shriveI
up corns or caIIuses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch | 3!2!l This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town If
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions Of American women
will welcome. this announcement since
the inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order small bottle for you.

marshallsd bis facts and applied
to them The fixed principles Of
law and equity. Success resulted,
as is always SO in such instances,
and be soon became one Of the
leaders Of the bar, taking particu-
lar and especial interest in his
chancery practice. His thorough
honesty, intellectual and other
wise, gave to him the confidence
of the public and the courts. His
industry is remarkable; he has
the capacity OF mastering details
thoroughly; his vision is clear and
penetrates questions through and
through. He has the judicial
poise and faculty in high degree.
Amidst all his professional &C.
tivities be has found time to take
a lively interest in public affairs.
He has probably given more of
free service to the public than any
man in this section. In all public
enterprises, in the school, in the
church, he has been and is quiet,
unofficious, effective leader. He
has done we'll those numberless,
thankless jobs that are so essen
tial to the life and well.being OF a
community. When matters of
community moment arise we have
grown accustomed to take them
to Lewis" for his sage advice,
wise counsel and active interest.
He is good man, an excellent
lawyer, most valuable citizen.
This is his first time to seek pub
lie Office. He has helped others
again and again in their ambi-
tons. A loyal friend he is and
has always been. For many years
he was chairman OF the demo-
cratic county committee and re-
tired only because he refused an
other election. The multitude of
his public services has been too
great to attempt their enumeration
in this article. They are well
known to the people here among
whom his active and valuable life
las been spent, and it will be
demonstrated that they are not
orgotten and that they are appre-
,iated.
This chancery division is, and !
ought to be, proud Of the men !
Who have served it in the high !
curt of equity. Within the mem :
Try of many yet living, Chancellor :
'omers, of Dresden, served with :
n ability unsurpassed by any 2
Judge of the state. Then came :
livingston, Of Brownsville. Coo.
or, of Trenton, and our present
distinguished and beloved chan \
ellor, McKinny, of Ripley. 1t is :
line OF great, brave, strong men
nd lawyers, men who did mems

roper successor to them. u

How to Mix Ani-Freeze Solution

This article taken from the No
vember Studebaker Service, follows
so closely with the one on your Bat
terry Will Freeze" in News Notes of
the preceding issue, that it seems best
to give it at this time.
Possibly one of the most import
ant points in the care of your car
that needs attention at this time of
the year is the filling of the radiator
with the anti-freeze. 1t is well to
anticipate an unexpected drop in tenn
perature and to provide material for
the mixing of suitable anti-freeze
mixture to be used in the circulating
system.
THE most satisfactory mixture
that can be used is a solution of al
cohol, water and glycerine. The ad-
dition of alcohol to water reduces
the freezing point of the solution, and
The Lamar register., 1917-02-07

consequently, the greater the amount
of alcohol added the lower becomes
the point at which the solution in the
circulating system will freeze. We
have made exhaustive tests in our
laboratories to determine the correct
percentage Of the different ingredi
ents and offer the following table as
giving the best results under all con-
ditions:
1T is very possible that, due to the
advanced price of glycerine many
owners will desist from using this in
gredient, and in this case the percent
age of glycerine not used should be
replaced with alcohol. For example
A solution calling for per cent al
cohol, 4 per cent glycerine and 80 per
cent water will become 10 per cent
alcohol and 80 per cent water."-Fred
G. Person, Colorado Agricultural col
lege, Fort Collins, Colorado.

War Situation

While all our citizens are practical
ly unit in supporting the presidents
stand to uphold American rights and
will periodically support him even to
the point of war, yet there is little
feeling of enmity 20 Germany in this
country, and we all hope that war can
and will be avoided in spite OF the
tense situation. Most Americans feel
that Europe's bloody disgrace is due
to their own blind frenzy of the past
forty years and our country can have
no part in it. War three thousand
miles away does not mean as much as
our own horrible mess right at our
door in Mexico, and which is largely
due to governmental errors on the part
Of this country. Until this is settled
we cannot afford to mix in other coun-
tries troubles, and as to our own
troubles over there it would take
months Of preparation before we could
even make a ripple on the troubled
waters of Europe. The best American
policy just now is support your gov
eminent, but don't get excited.

FARMERS WEEK
Large Crowds Being Attracted to the
Sessions at the High School

The programs for Farmers Week
have been attracting large numbers
of citizens outside of town az well as
many home people the past two days
and promises to keep up the interest
all week. The morning sessions at
the armory in which Messrs. Miller
and Knowles, auto and machinist ex-
perts, have been explaining many
auto troubles, are especially attractive
to a large portion Of our people as
all have those troubles in these days
when autos are among the simplest
necessities of life. The moving pic
lures and dairy sessions at the high
school are equally attractive and well
attended. The Holly COW club, the
livest bunch of dairy boosters in the
state, attended the Wednesday ses-
sions in a body, and the lectures and
visit to the splendid farms Of the A.
h. S. Co. were highly interesting and
instructive.

Fare No Better

Governor Gunter's appointees for
the industrial commission seem to be
more unpopular than even Governor
Carlson's were. Grantham, an ex-
saloonkeeper, to succeed Wayne Will
liams, a dry democratic lawyer, and
d. C. Burns, walking delegate, in
place of Frank Lannon, an honorable
employer of labor for many years,
don't seem to set well even on the
democratic senators and at present
the indications are that neither can
be confirmed.
