LIFT YOUR coRNs
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen q tender corn
or callus so It lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks Of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops Of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating. the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

London, Sept. IA. - A marked de-

Twelve vessels of more than 1000
tons and six of less than 1900 tons

with 20 in the large and three in the
small category sunk the previous

four fishing vessels also were lost.
This is the smallest number of large
British vessels sunk by mines or sub.

began her submarine campaign. The
previous low record was for the week
of March II, when IL vessels of more
than 1000 tons were lost.

On Writing Letters.

shat there is new style in trench
letters. The censor's duties have
been reduced by many per cent. The
soldier now has the sense of the stu
alton engrained in his thinking. He
sees through the need of keeping quiet
even on matters that call for some
criticism. There is more humor and
matter-of-factness about his letters.
One Of my men, who can't write very
we'll, was telling me the other day that
one letter a week is all that he Gun
summon up his courage to write, and
he gave this as a reason: The people
at home don't, can't understand life
here. We have got to go through it.

PoRPoIsE FISHERY IS OLD
One Of Least Known Industries Has
Been In Existence at Cape Hat.
teras for 200 Years.

One Of the oldest and least-known
Industries in America is the porpoise
fishery which has been operated from
Cape Hatteras in North Carolina for
about 200 years. 1t should attain an
unusual prosperity in the next few
years, for the bureau of fisheries is
urging more general use of porpoise
hides in place Of cowhides. 1t is an
excellent leather, and could undoubt-
eddy be used more widely.
Heretofore the most valuable prod
uct Of the fishery has been the oil
which is extracted from the jaws of
the porpoise, and is worth about 500
gallon. 1t is universally used for
lubricating watches and other very del
icate mechanisms. The body blubber
is also valuable. Attempts to manu-
facture fertilizer out of the carcass
have failed because of the distance
from fuel supply.
The porpoise are taken at Hatteras
in seines, operated from the shore, and
1t is probably the only place in Amer
lea where this has ever been done
successfully. During the fall, winter
and spring many porpoises are seen
off the South Atlantic coast, and at
Hatteras they come within few hun
dred yards of the surf. They are
taken by spreading seines about 200
yards outside the surf lines. AS soon
as the porpoises have come inside the
seines, they are dragged ashore. Often
a whole school of these sea creatures
is taken in a single haul.

Petrograd, Sept. 15.-The Russian
army at the front, particularly in the
northern sector, is displaying fighting
spirit and, according to the official
statements. is regaining some of the
ground recently abandoned to the Ger
mans in the Riga district. Several viii

case of attack.
Reconstruct Government.
Convinced that General Korniloff's
rebellion is definitely at an end, al
though the general himself has not
formally surrendered, the leaders at
Petrograd are setting about the recon-
struction of the government. Forma.
tion of new cabinet is said to be we'll
along toward completion.
The submission of so many of the
troops and leaders who were adhering
to General Korniloff apparently has
left the leader of the revolt helpless.
