There is no need for you to go through another day of corn agony. But be sure you get "Gets-It." Accept nothing else, for remember, there is positively nothing else as good. "Gets-It" never irritates the live flesh. never makes the toe sore.
 You can go about as usual with work or play, while "Gets-It," the magic. does all the. work Then the corn peels right off like banana skin, and leaves the toe as smooth and corn-free as your palm. Never happened before. did 1t? Guess not.
 Get a bottle of "Gets-It" today from any drug store, you need pay no more than 25c. or sent on receipt of price by E. Lawrence & Co, Chi cago. III.

Today's Poem

Three Flags i'm One
Three flags ablaze in mornings sun,
Their colors red and white and blue,
The fiuttering breeze blends into one,
One flag of Truth and Freedom
true.
How lovingly their folds entwine,
Their flag, our flag, your flag and
mine.
The English flag, the mother tongue,
The motherland, revered and dear,
Her steady battle lines far flung,
Her fleets that give US safety here,
Thte meteor flag on every sea,
Which tryants hate and pirates flee.
The flag of glorious, bleeding France
That gave us gallant Lafayette
And now by wars grim happy chance,
Please God, well try to pay the
debt.
The flag that flew with ours on high

Eat With Cheer; Avoid Extremes
Right habits at meal time. are al,


Right habits at meal time, are aid
to digestion and health.
Food we put into our bodies three
times a day serves much the same
function sthe coal shoveled into an
engine.
1t furnishes the energy for all of
the body and its parts and it furnishes
the heat to keep the body warm, in
winter, when great deal more heat
must be formed, a sufficient diet is
especially important.
People would not feel so run down
in the spring if they had cultivated
proper food habits during the cold
months.
Here as a number of mealtime
maxims that will help keep one well;
/. Come to meals with clean
hands.
2. Eat your meals with good cheer.
Worry and grief retard the digestive
processes.
8. Avoid extremes of temperature
in eating. Do not take food and
drink too cool or too hot. Ice water,
if drunk at all, should be drunk before
the meal.
4. Eat bread and raw vegetables
at the beginning Of the meal--these
stimulate the flow of gastric juices.
5. Chew your food thoroughly;
wash down unchewed food with coffee,
tea or other drinks.
6. Do not eat to excess. Noraml-
ly your appetite should be an index
OF your wants.

The starry flag we love the best,
The flag our fathers first unfurled,
The flag that freed land oppressed
And lit a torch for al the world,
The flag that tells of hearth and home
In every land where we may roam.

Against the cruel tyrant Hun,
And by their majesty and might
Shall victory and peace be won.
See, mounting through the deadly

Each waves for all and all for each.

How TO Make Toast

An expert eater of thirty years in
his little book for invalids puts this
matter of making toast in a very sat
isfactory way. He says: "Many seem
to think they have made toast when
they brown the outside of slice Of
bread? Have they? The object of
making toast is to evaporate all the
moisture from the bread, and holding
slice over the fire to. SINCE does not
accomplish this; it only warns the
moisture, making the inside of the
bread doughty and decidedly indiges-
tible. The true way of preparing it
is to cut the bread into slices quar-
ter of an inch thick trim off all crust,
put the slices in pan or plate, place
them in the oven, which must not be
too hot, take them out when q deli
cate brown, and butter at once"
When you have so much work to do
that you "don't know which way to
tuhn," better just sit down for few
minutes, draw some long breaths, and
then tackle the job that lies nearest.

Couzens Is Free; Is
the Mayor Also Free
To Work With Him?

We fancy there is no rejoicing among
the plug-uglies of this town over Police
Commissioner Couzens exculpation from
the charge of contempt of court.
Possibly some ancient statute was
strained in his refusal to honor issued
while-you-wait releases. The higher
court can be depended upon to deal with
any aspect of the case that relates to
technicality or antiquity.
In the meantime it is cause for cele-
bration that the renovating campaign in
this city has gained decision at court,
where all too frequently bubble and
hair-splitting technicality are the sue
cessful devices of those who have no
real reverence for the law and no re-
gard for the fair name of their city.
If the forces of decency and civic prog
ress can get what the box-score analysts
call an "even break" in the police courts
and all other municipal departments, an
unafraid police commissioners work will
begin to bear fruit. We believe every
one is convinced by this time that Mr..
Couzens' purposes are sincere.
In this connection it is in order to
call Mayor Marx attention to the gen.
eral approval elected by Mr.. Couzens'
exoneration as a sign that there is a
great body of public opinion in this city
that will no longer brook obstructive
tactics in the redemption of Detroit
from protected vice
The police commissioner recommen-
dation that the licenses of three notori-
GUS law-defying cafes be revoked, gives
the mayor a chance to show that the
police and the head of the city at least,
are not working at cross purposes.
Detroit demands teamwork in all de-
partments. Mistakes of judgment or
method may be eondoned, but there is
lack of whole-hearted cooperation be-
tween those who are entrusted with the
protection of life and property and the
fair repute of the city.
This is aNpoor order of political astute-
ness in the present state Of the public
mind.

Our Boys Are In France
Safe and Timely Arrival
is a Stroke In the War

Our boys are there-at "A French sea-
port
Sooner than we imagined. even since
we have had reason to expect it, that
which we had hoped against and prayed
against from the opening Of hostilities
in Europe, has happened.
The United States is not yet at war in
the sense in which war in REALITY is
brought home, bat it is an oceans ex-
panse nearer it, now that our troops are
in France and not far at this writing
from the trenches, if not in them.
The arrival Of Pershing's men means
that the uninterrupted course Of our
people at this time. is fast bringing up
to the turn that will let them see just
around the corner, and what they viii
see will call halt" for them-in many
of their pleasures; in the many ways
they have of dissipating their time
their effort and their money.
When word comes that some Of these
Pershing troops have fallen, American
hearts will begin TO beat faster and
pulses to quicken.
When the first American soldier falls,
his loyal and true American brother on
this side will say; He died for me.
Immediately we will be a changed
country and a changed people,
Immediately will all the problems of
war now confronting the government be
solved and fade away.
Immediately will all the barriers that
stand just now TO successful prosecu-
ton of our cause be removed.
Immediately, Germany will sense 1t.
Because Immediately will the Ameri-
can spirit-the spirit of 1776 that is now
the spirit of 1917-assert itself, and the
REST WILL BE EASY.
A great stroke has been put over in
the successful transportation of these
troops without incident.
It's moral effect on Germany amounts
to first victory.
It's heartening and assuring effect on
the Allies, Russia in particular, will do
incalculable good.
1t was tremendously important that
United States troops get to French soil
at this time, and in a hurry, and we ar
rived there on time, and it amounts to
an accomplishment that we may brag
about.
So far, so good.
