STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calluses off with fingers

cdlluSeS OH with fingers
no pain
No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by
a Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost
but a trifle. but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fin
gers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think. No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it
or afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freezone have him order it for
you.

Spirited bidding at the auction Sat-

at the armory was not quite so large
as on the previous night, some of the

The auctioneers, Messrs. Frank French

the things went rapidly. Many curl

that class than on Friday evening.
Nearly everything was sold and tn
net results of the two days sales were
larger than was at first expected
While practically all articles were

SOLDIER TELLS OF
TRENCH WARFARE
Local Man Returns From France
After Seeing Service From Early
In the War.

Noise Dubois, but recently returned
from the trenches in France after see
ing active service there with Canad-
ian army from the beginning of the
war, has been spending a few days in
town with relatives. Mr.. Dubois is in
a position to tell the best and the
worst of warfare as it is being carried
on in Europe, having been in the
front line practically all the time since
the first Canadian contingent arrived
! there At that time he says, there
was lacking the fine technique Of war
fare that is characterizing the fighting
now.
Entire Company Wiped Out.
Of the 500 men in his regiment who
entered the front line trenches the en-
tire number were practically wiped
out in the first few days of terrific
| fighting. Of that number there re-
main but ten at the present time and
two of them have been discharged for
disability. He himself was recently
wounded in the knee and also at an
other time had three fingers of one
hand shot off.
| Mr.. Dubois tells how his division
was in the front line trenches for
| thirteen months or rather the surviv-
ors were, for by that time there was
| but a very few left. It is an interest
| ing account he gives of the radical
! change in warfare at present from the
! first few weeks the Canadian contin-
| gent was stationed in France. The
| first trenches he became acquainted
| with were mud, not clean dirt and
water, but Shiny filthy stuff which as
the days went by and relief was de-
| layed became putrid. At times his di-
vision was stationed in trenches only
13 yards from the Bosches lines. He
belonged to company of bombers
and a general exchange of hand gren-
AIDES was always in order, he states.
Had Narrow Escape.
The thing which impressed him
most of the frightfulness of the Ger
mans, he said, was an occurrence on
section of trench land taken by them
during the early part of the war. Mr..
Dubois was among the wounded on
that occasion and how he escaped
death then he cannot say, for follow
ing the engagement a detachment was
sent out from the German trenches to
bayonet the wounded. Possibly" he
says, they thought I was dead and to
that I owe my escape"
He is confident that the Allies will
win, for he stated, 1--WE have the
money, the artillery, plenty to eat,
and the best of fighting machines, but
the best of all we have been taught
how t. use the cold steel in way
that surpasses any frightfulness of the
Germans, and when they see the boys
J coming the Huns get cold feet and
depart if they can

footing with any other service. If
man will not perform it, let him lose
all the benefits of war; and at least
let him lose the political rights which
free country can only keep if it's
free citizens are willing to fight for
them. We stand against all privi-
lege not based on the full performance
of duty; and there is no more con-
temptible form of privilege than the
privilege of existing in SNUG, self
righteous, peaceful safety because
other, Drawer, more self sacrificing
men give up safety and go to war to
preserve the nation. If man is too
conscientious to fight, then the rest
of us ought to be too conscientious

the average man is willing in the last
resort to fight for it and die for it,

ing man today, whether he be on
the farm or in the shop, who supports
Germany, "is not only playing the
part of a traitor to the United States
but is playing the part of a traitor to
the whole spirit of democracy through
OUT Tie civilized WOrlQ. Inc speaker
asserted that the Socialist party and
the I. w. w. organization in this
country has been the tools of German
autocracy and the enemies of liberty.
A plea for universal military obli-
cation was made by Mr.. Roosevelt,
who said the seleetive draft system is
wrong, because it chooses out one
man to make the sacrifice and do the
work of two or three other men who
are allowed to stay at home and make
money, while the first man risks his
life for their common country.
The officers training camps were
also criticised by Mr.. Roosevelt, be-
cause, he said,. "they have been so
conducted that only men of some
means could go thither or send their
sons" He said they have done ad-
mirable work, but this feature ought
to be remedied so every man who
is respectable man and who has
sons of the right type, would feel
that those sons had an equal chance
to become officers with any man il

Bulk are Slackers, Pure and
Simple, Says Theodore
Roosevelt
REFERS TO SUCH AS
ROUGHNECK PACIFISTS
A Man Does Not Have to
Fight to Serve Says
Ex-President

Minneapolis, Sept 28.-The 1oudest
so-called conscientious DIRECTORS in
this country today, are the paid or un-
paid agents of the German government
Theodore Roosevelt declared here to-
night in a speech before the Labor
Loyalty League. He asserted that the
majority of these men are not actua-
ted by conscience at all, and that the
bulk are slackers, pure and simple,
or else traitorous pro- Germans"
Describing the various kinds of paci-
fists in this country, Mr.. Roosevelt
said that some of the leading apostles
of applied pacifism are not timid men,
but, on the contrary, they are brutal
violent men, who are perfectly willing
to fight, but only for themselves and
not for the nation. These rough
neck pacifists," he said, "have always
been the potent allies of the parlor or
milk and water pacifists. The par
lor pacifist, the white-handed or sissy
type of pacifist, represents decadence,
represents the rotting out of the virile
virtues among people who typify the
unlovely senile side of civilization.
THE rough-neck pacifist, on the con-
trary, is a mere belated savage, who
has not been educated to the virtues
of national patriotism and of willing
ness to fight for the national flag and
the national IDEAL
Mr.. Roosevelt continued: eff a man
does not wish to take life, but does
wish to serve his country, let him
serve on doard a mine sweeper or in
some other position where the danger
is to his own life and not to the life
of anyone else. But if he will take
no useful of efficient part in helping
in this war, in running his share OF
the common risk and doing his par
of the common duty, then treat hin
as having forfeited his right to vote
his right to render at the polls an.
decision which in the long run car
only be made good in the face o
brutal and hostile men by the abilit.
and willingness of good citizens t.
back right with might
Such a man, Mr.. Roosevelt insiste'
who claims citizenship but is not viii
ling to perform the necessary duties
is not entitled to any of the rights o
citizenship, saying: Service to the ma
