F there is anything in the world that could make parents less Tee

HH1lF there is anything in the world that could make parents less re- gretful in giving up their boys to
 go to the training camps preparatory to
 services abroad. it is the fact that their
 happiness and joy and enthusiasm over the whole thing after they get in camp
 is beyond anything that could be in- 1 agined."
 | Mrs. Brooks Forbes, whose son Clifford 1 Forbes is a member of the medical corps Of the 167th C"RainbowD regiment, sta toned at Camp Mills, expressed herself in the above enthusiastic manner shortly after her arrival in Birmingham from Camp Mills, where she has been visiting young Mr. Forbes, who is one of Bir- ! mingham's most capable and popular young men.
 Mrs. Forbes, like every other mother in all this broad land of ours. with true patriotism and self sacrifice, said good by to her boy with hundreds of others
 when the call came, and she joined in the sentiment of every devoted, loving | parent in the country when the time ot | farewells arrived, by sending the brave | youths of our land off with the un- | spoken admonition:
 Tt isn't that I don't want you to go, my boy, but it's that awful feeling that
 I may never see you again. But I'd be ashamed of you if you didn't go. So
 good-by and be good my boy; be brave; be true. Remember your country first l and then your mother"
 This love of country of patriotism, greater almost than any other love, has
 sustained many stalwart young felolw
 in the heart breaking hour of farewell
 during the past few months.
 But it is the splendid spirit Of the
 whole thing Mrs Forbes said in her
 bright, enthusiastic way, that makes
 it all so wonderful. I have never seen anything like the reception accorded our
 boys in the east Major Hartley Moon,
 former Birmingham man who is with the
 Rainbow regiment, urged me to bring
 the message back to mothers, sisters,
 wives and sweethearts that the cordial,
 beautiful treatment of our boys by the eastern people is beyond anything they ever expected. Everything is being done for our boys, and their lives are just as
 happy and just as pleasant as they can possibly be-

sparks of pain through you, according
TO this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops Of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
Il 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.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
