From his friends to the Capital 1t

You reckless men and women who

at least once a week invited an awful

are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is a sticky substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without in.

servers to note the presence of two
little black boxes on the wall railing

Well, here is little information about
the two little ebony boxes. They are
snuff boxes of an elegant make and
design, and are supposed to be as an

MARINE Wins THE
MEDAL OF HONOR

WASHINGTON. D. c.. March To-
For displaying extraordinary heroism
in a battle with rebels in Santo Do.
n1ingo. Sergeant Major Roswell WI.
mans, o. S. Marine Corps, has been dec.
Grated with the Medal of Honor" tho
highest award of merit attainable by
the American military or naval man.
Winans operated a machine gun
against the enemy, only $50 yards
away, in the face of heavy fire to
which he was fully exposed. When
n Jam put the gun temporarily out of
commission, he stood up anu cody re.
paired II, maintaining his perilous po-
sition and resumed firing until the ban
dts deserted their trenches. Marine
Corps officials say Winans' prompt ac-
ton saved the lives of many Of his
companions.
The Medal of Honor" is given to
very few persons, and only in cases Of
extraordinary valUr. Unlike the Iron
Cross" Victoria Cross" and similar
European decorations, this American
medal is worn pendant from the neck.

of the stuff up their nostrlls. It is the
rarest thing nowadays for a Senator
to amble over to one OF these boxes
and pinch sample OF their contents.
1t calls for too great a courage. But
occasionally a Senator is caught at 1t,
and looks as guilty as sheep.killing
dog. After four years vigil, we were
rewarded the other day in seeing a
member commit the act which was
quite the proper and usual caper with
members years ago. He did 1t stealth
fly. but the patient Hawkshaw in the
gallery caught him dead to rights. VIII
liam Alden Smith, OF Michigan, it was.
He shifted and he shifted, first one
nostril and then the other. Breathless-
ly we awaited to hear a sneez disturb
the somnolent proceedings and crack
few stained panes in the skylight.
Nothing Of the kind happened. The
conclusion is that william Alden Smith
is not in the professional class. He's
novice. 1t has been openly charged

agerial genius of the Capital who is
at the head of about every big civic
movement that Washington has. 1t
was Harper who pulled off the recent
Inauguration most successfully. He
has estimated that it will take $4,000
to do the thing right, and checks are
pouring down on him like an April
shower. That sum represents only a
part of the extra money. The Court
OF Honor. which was a feature of the
recent inauguration, will be set up
again. State societies are at work on
plans for entertaining the visitors
from their respective states. The
West Virginia Society was one of the
earliest to get to work. They are 60
ing to entertain the old fellows Of the
gray Just as handsomely as they did
the old vets OF the blue when they en-
camped here couple of years ago, and
that means that the West Virginians
will be lionized. The nation has como
to love these old fighters in a tenderly
different way in their old age. Evil
dence Of that was furnished by the in
augural parade in which little COM
pany of Grand Army men limped and
trudged along. 1t is no disparagement
to the President to state-and this Is
fact which any spectator Of that page

was grave. To observers here any
drawing back by Germany from her
announcement Of unlimited submar-

OF the war.
Germany has now mobllised every
ounce OF her energy for the expect

With new troops constantly going
to the front. with zeppelins flying
over the city. with daily reports OF
submarine successes and the news OF
successful throwing OF OF entente at
tacks on all fronts, the public is
steeled to further sacrifices.
The feeling here is that Germany

will shake the universe.
The American embassy was pic

ployes paced the corridors nervously.

The brief word issued In newspaper
