LIBERTY BONDS.

II need but to mention the words
Liberty Bonds to suggest a possible
way In which lodges as such may per-
form patriotic duty. Many lodges
have funds set apart for extraordinary
uses and demands. l know OF several
that have already loaned a portion of
these surplus funds to the government
by the purchase of its bonds. This ac-
ton cannot be too highly commended.
l would not think 1t wise for a lodge
at this time to invest all its funds in
this way. There will doubtless come
other calls for funds and we should
be prepared for emergencies to be met
later. But a reasonable amount should
be placed at the disposal Of our coun-
try. Why Liberty Loan?
Because 1t is to be loan from a
free people to be used in freeing the
world. 1t is loan Of a liberty loving
people to be devoted to the establish
ment pf liberty in Europe and on the

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of f~reezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively emove every hard or soft
corr or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether com
pound applied directly upon a tender.
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
cor or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

HOUSANNTIC SINKING LAWFUL
EVIDENCE TENDS TO SHOW THAT
AMPLE WARNING WAS GIVEN.
Provision Made for Safety of Crew by
Attacking VesseI-May be Claim
for Damages.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The possibility
that the sinking of the American
steamer H~ousatonic will become a Sc
rious factor in the crisis with Ger.
many apparently is eliminated by evil
dence that the attacking submarine
acted within international law. Amer
lean Consul Stephens at Plymouth re-
ported that warning was given and
provision made for safety of the crew.
which included several Americans.
AS the Housatonic was carrying con.
traband any controversy over her de-
struction is said to present no more
serious an issue than a claim for
monetary damages.
Warning Was Given.
Consul Stephens dispatch says:
American steamer Housatonic,
loaded with a cargo of wheat for the
British government, torpedoed by Ger
man submarine, 1880, February 8.
Vessel warned and total crew of 81
rescued by the submarine and towed
for 90 minutes toward land. Subma-
rine fired signal to British patrol boat,
which subsequently landed crew at
Penzance."
In some quarters the unusual pre-
cautions taken to insure a safe landing
for the crew was taken to mean that
international law and Germany's SUBJ
marine pledges would be observed
more scrupulously than ever in the
case of any vessels which were on
the high seas at the time the new
campaign of unrestricted warfare be-
came effective, February /.
In her note announcing the cam
paign, Germany said immunity would
be extended to all ships which had
left their ports before the effective
date.
