Duke turned in his rage on Gale !
There! You hear that-what have

with an abusive oath.
Gale jumped forward, his finger
pointed at Nan. Look here, do you

Nan stood with her back against the

His courage was contagious. When
he had tired her with fresh importu-
mites he unpinned her felt hat and
held 1t out Of reach while he kissed
and toyed with and disarranged her
hair. In revenge, she snatched from
his pocket his little black memoran-
dunn book and some letters and read,
or pretended TO read them, and seiz-
ing her opportunity she broke from
him and ran with the utmost feetness
up into the rocks.

he found out just what that trail or
any subsequent trail leading into the

C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

Some people have a misunder-
standing of the meaning of thrift.
Many believe apparently that to be
thrifty man must be misery, close
listed, parsimonious. The thrifty
man is the happy medium between
the spendthrift and the miser. He
saves his money wisely and spends
It wisely. The miser saves unwisely
and spends not at all-the spend
thrift spends unwisely and saves not
at all. 1t is just as essential that one

drawn from circulation and a fnan-

on every hand in America. In the
matter of straw for example-the
thriftlessness of the American farm
er is in uncomplimentary contrast
with the farmer abroad. The Euro
pean agriculturist knows that straw
is not re1ished by his stock. How
ever, instead Of wasting it. as is the
case with so many American farm
ers, the European chops it up and
mixes it with beets, mangoes, or
other foods, and makes them thus SO
palatable that the stock relish it.
A recent United States government
report states that IS per cent of the
straw produced in the United States
is burned. In many districts there
are no cattle, and renoteness from
suitable market makes the sale of the
straw improbable. 1t is suggested
that in such districts the introduction
of few cattle would be a good
stroke of business.
This shows also how thriftlessness
tends to keep up the present high
price of staple products. We never
can get away from the law of supply
and demand. We cannot waste our
food and have it. Therefore, the
more we waste the higher prices we
will have to pay.
Various persons strive at times to
make political capital out of food
prices, but we should not be so mucl;
alarmed over these prices as the fun.
damenta1 conditions that make these
prices possible-that is, thriftlessness
both at home and abroad. The Euro
pean war is the most monumental
example OF thriftlessness in the
world, and because of this fact it is
all the more necessary that Ame!i-
cans learn to be thrifty Resolve
