LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or calIus so 1t lifts out
WITHOUT pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.

ECONOMIC FEEDING IS
URGED UPON GERMANS
Chief Problem Caused by
Shortage of Potatoes and
Transportation Troubles
by Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Jan. 23.-(Via London, Jan.
24)-The advisory committee of the war
food bureau has concluded a two-day
the food situation. A detailed state
ment in regard to conditions throughout
the empire was made by .Adolph Batocki,
president of the food regulation board.
Herr Batocki said the chief difficulty
lay in the shortage of the potato crop,
enhanced by transportation troubles. He
said that although the grain crops had
been better than in 1915 the total nutri-
tive value of the grain and potatoes to-
gether was less and economical feeding
was necessary to carry the population
to the end of the crop year. Consider
able supplies were available in Ruma-
mia, according to Herr Batocki, but ship
ments could not be made in the quanti-
ties needed and hence the actual supplies
were short and rigid organization of
distribution was necessary.
Herr Batocki complained that the sit
uation was aggravated by the richer
people buying underhand at fancy prices
what they wanted and thwarting the
work of the food office. He explained
that the distilling of brandy from grain
and potatoes had been prohibited since
the beginning of the present crop year
and that allotmcntS of barley to the
brewers were hardly more than enough
to produce beer for the army and labor
es employed on heavy work.
The committee was told that the milk
shortage is due to the inadequate sup
ply. of feed for cattle owing to the pro-
hibition against using potatoes and tur-
nips and also that the consumption of
milk in the country districts was greater
because of the lack of American lard.
The food office is preparing plans to fix
uniform milk prices, but the supply can
scarcely be increased during the winter
months as there is not sufficient hay
and straw for the milk producing ami
mails.
Herr Batocki assured the committee
that, through economies now enforced
the grain supply will certainly reach
until the new crop. The war office is
trying to supply the farmers with the
needed laborers. material and work ami
mails.

Wilson's Peace Policy
BIT RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Ex-senator
Hoke Smith. in a short speech in the
senate today, gave his unqualified in
dorsement to the address President
Wilson delivered to the senate last
Monday. The senator said:
Il consider the address of the presi-
dent delivered to the senate a mas
terful expression of the highest ideals
for international relations; it appeals
to the people of the world for justice
i'm the treatment of nation by nation.
1T points the way to an end of the
present war and TO permanent peace; il
voices the hope of the world for last
ing peace.
1t is expressed in language so brave
and beautiful that / wish il might re-
main for a while to speak by itself"
Il believe in an international con-
cert which may hold the world at peace.
I'VE cannot recall the conditions
which from time to time have arisen
during the present war without real
izing how almost impossible il has been
for such a war to continue without
dragging our country into war.
Il do not fear the consequence of
adding the authority and power of our
country 10 the authority and force of
other nations to guarantee peace and
Justice throughout the world. Such a
course is the only safeguard we may
have to live our own lives free from
the danger of war.
1T may be idealistic to hope for .
concert of nations to protect the rights
of all but we may well cooperate as
far as possible to speed the realization
of so noble an ideal"

Address is Considered
Of First lmDOrtanCe

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The Manchester
Guardian in a further long editorial on
President Wilson's speech declares it
considers it a state document of the
first importance, drawn with the ut
most care and demanding careful and
deliberate consideration. In regard to
the phrase peace without victory" the
Guardian asks:
Has the president reason to know
that Germany feels herself to be at
this moment so far beaten as to be
prepared to concede all the other terms
which, with no less emphasis, he de-
clares to be essential if the United
States is to join in guaranteeing the
resulting peace?"
TIE Guardian surmises that the peace
which the PRESIDENT had in mind clear
ly implies the surrender by the CEN
trail powers of their territorial con-
quests and the liberation of subject
populations. 1t considers, however, that
some changes on the war map or other
compelling influences apear indispen-
sable before the Teutonic allies will
be willing to agree to the arrangement
the Guardian sees designed for them
by the president
Regarding the freedom of the seas
the Guardian considers that as COM
mercial blockade is a Question of def
milton, limitation and adaptation to
changed conditions and new instru-
ments of modern naval warfare there
are reasons why Great Britain should
not discuss the whole matter with Pres
ident Wilson, or any other representa-
tives of neutral state.
1t believes the value of a blockade
is likely to diminish in proportion as
the size and efficiency of submarine
merchantmen increase and the men,
ace of long distance submarine war
ships develops
While it does not think these factors
are reasons for surrenedrng any val
liable rights it regards them as rea-
sons for a willingness to discuss and
settle the general question of maritime
war, especially including the right to
attack and destroy merchant ships as
claimed and exercised by the central
powers in the present war.
