 ! ]. . GET IT FOR HIM
Says it Is Suicide to Cut COrns and
 Tells How They Lift Right Out.

' You simply say to the drug store man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezope." This will cost very 1it- tie but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from ones feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the en- tire corn, root and all, can be lifted out with the fingers without pain.
 This new way to rid ones feet of corns was introduced by Cincinnati man. who says that while freezone is sticky it dries in a moment, and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the sur rounding tissues or skin.
 'as Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whiting at his corns, but cut this out and make him try it.

PUNCH THE KAISER BUY A LIBERTY BOND


During his San Francisco visit, sec
retary of the treasury, William G.
McAdoo made the following statement
concerning the farmer and the second
Liberty Loan:
Now l should like to say word
about the farmer in this particular
campaign In the first campaign for
the sale of Liberty Loan bonds l ex-
pressly requested that the farmer
should not be solicited because we
were then trying to stimulate produc-
ton and | did not think it was just
to ask the farmer to buy at that time,
but now that the crops have been har-
vested the farmer is receiving the sur
plus from very bounteous harvests and
there is nothing he can buy any bet
ter than these bonds.
THE son of the farmer is taking his
part in this war. l found in little vii
lagos people who came out to railroad
stations asking me to say few words.
| found that every one Of these villages
was contributing it's quota and doing
it in fine spirit, and so the sons Of
farmers, like the sons of others, all
were being brought together in this
great army without distinction, and
going forth to serve their country.
The farmer is as much interested in
class of people and | think if these
bonds sold to provide arms, ammu-
milton and supplies for that army are
brought particularly to the attention
of the farmer he will respond and do
his share"

SECRETARY BAKER ENTHUSIASTS
TIC OVER THE PROGRESS OF

WASHINGTON-Th allies are sue
cessfully driving a wedge into the
German lines which may permit a
thanking move instead of continuous
frontal attacks This is the conclusion
of Newton D. Baker, secretary of war
in his summary of the war situation
for the week. The Germans have been
forced to change their defense tactics
because of the British typhoon of fire.
The Germans are much concerned
over the present fighting on the Fland-
ers front which is practically revolu-
tionary.
Secretary Bakers summary declar-
ed that the allied Flanders offensive
is continuing methodically. The as
signed objectives are being attained
with increasing regularity indicating
efficient coordination of artillery
preparation and infantry attacks. The
casualties of the allies are low be-
cause of the highly developed system
of barrage fires.

WASHINGTON-Secretar Baker in
dicated that a decision as to the ex-
animation and classification OF all re-
naming men registered under the
draft law might be reached within
few days. Congress eliminated from

sumed that the porject could not be
carried out, at least until money was
forthcoming at the next session in De-
cember.

bills disposed to change draft ages
would be offered when congress reas=
sembles, the secretary said he had not
changed his opinion that 19 to 26 was
the best age limit for military service.
He added, however that he was con-
sidering no amendments to the pres
ent law.
