Cincinnati Athority Tells How to
Dry Up a Corn or Callus so it

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority, be.
cause a few drops of freezone -ap.
piled directly on a tender, aching
corn or callus, stops soreness at
once and soon the corn or hardened
callus loosens so it can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain. .
small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will pos
itively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not
to rritate the surrounding skin.
If yuor druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get a small bottle
for you from his wholesale drug
house. 1t is fine stuff and acts like
a charm every time.-Adv.

DRAFTING GUARD

Additional Time Will Be Used in
Completing Arrangements for
Housing Troops.

Washington, June 22.-Drafting
of the National Guard into the fed
eral armies for war service may be
delayed until August s., because it
has been found that under the pres
ent plans for drafting the guard in
three increments, July IS, July rs
and August 5, the relative rank OF
its officers would be established on
an unfair basis. The national de-
tense act provides that National
Guard officers shall take rank as of
the date of draft.

Milwaukee Daily NeWs-Is

Milwaukee Daily News-Is eli

is almost compelled thus to con-
clude when he reads of the saw
agery of a Tennessee mob which
dealt torturous death to negro.
The col0red man had committed
a hemOuS crime-assaulting and
foully numbering a young white
glrl-but his crime is no justif-
cation for the crime of the repor-
ted mob, which, not content with
mere hanging or even mere burn
ing at a stake, tied its victim in
IA tree, poured oil upon him and
watched while the flames consum-
ed his living flesh. The lust for
revenge that stops not ut such
atroclty as this is reported to
have been is as evil as the lust
which caused the negro to commit
his horrible crime.
We are told that the burning
IN the tree top was quite a gala
event. Thousands came in AUTO
parties to witness the spectaC .e
young children, women, leading
citizens applauded barbarity at
which even the naked cannibal
would balk. To do the cannibal
justice, he at least butchers his
victim before roasting. These
modern savages, did not eat their
roasted quarry, it is true, but the
dispatches say that some of them

rope and even flesh as CORY relies
of their aboriginal orgy.
Is civilization merely veneer?
Probably to a greater or less ex-
tent. All Southerners are not
lynchers by any means; as a
whole they enjoy a high state of
civilization, but one is compelled
to believe that the civilization of
this particular Southern mob is
a very, very, thin veneer. \ mere
scratch makes them stand forth
