Is That So7

A man was friszing over his last
summers clothes figuring on digging
out a light suit, when he discovered
that pair of pants was so much moth
eaten as to be useless. On examining
the holes in the pants he discovered
that they were arranged in a mechan-
ical manner like the holes in the player
piano rolls. So he placed the pants in
his player-piano, and to his amazement
they rendered two verses of Home,
Sweet Home."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a 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 a 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 small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

Potatoes.

Irish potatoes and most other vege-
tables and fruits tend to make the
body tissues and fluids alkaliney so
correcting the tendency of meat, eggs,
fish and similar foods to create acid
conditions. Since the body performs
it's work best when it is neutral or
slightly alkaline, this function of fruits
and vegetables is important, especially
to the hearty meat eater.

The Red Headed Girl

No longer can the red-headed
girl regard herself or be regarded
as an object of commiseration.
Poets now sing in her praise,
painters rave over her and news
papers print columns about her
charms, and we challenge any man
to dispute what we say about her.
The red. headed girl can:
1. Detect the odor of pre-
vious high ball farther, quicker
and with more unerring distinct
ness than an other being on earth.
2. Nail lie and bore deeper
holes with her penetrating eye, in
SO doing, than any other thing that
has eyes.
3. Make any fool of a liar look
like thirty cents quicker, and with
less effort than other living thing.
4. Break a mans morning nap,
and hustle him to build the fire in
the range quicker, surer and with
less back talk than any other style
of womankind.
5. She is the only known species
who can throw a missile with ac-
curate aim, and who does not en-
danger the lives of innocent by
ISLANDERS.
All praise to the red-headed girl.

Forests Increased Over
Half Million Acres

By presidential proclamation of
June II, over half million acres
of land were added to the Colo
RADIO national fores: in the north
central part of the state.
The proclamation is the out
growth of a resolution passed in
1915 by the Longmont commercial
association and endorsed by COM
mercial bodies in Boulder, Fort
Collins, Loveland, and Greeley,
petitioning Congress to include
certain described lands within the
administration of the Colorado
national forest. Acting upon the
petition, Congress on August 8,
1916 thru special act introduced
by Congressman Timberlake, auth
orized the President to add to the
Colorado and Pike forests such
described nreas as might be found
chiefly valuable for the production
of timber and for watershed pro-
lection.
The added lands, in c u d n e
512,747 acres and ranging from
four to twenty-four miles in width
along the foothills east of the
former forest boundary, extend
from the Colorado, Wyoming state
line south a distance of seventy-fve
miles. For almost its entire
length the area borders on large
and intensively irrigated farming
section, and is a direct source of
domestic water supply for Boulder,
Longmont, Lyons, Bert o d,
Loveland and Fl. Collins. Because
of the steep slopes, the streams
are especially adaptable to power
development, with more than 20,
600 horse power already in use
and several other municipal hydro
electric power plants planned and
under construction.

was most encouraging the last

tested will increase as time goes
on. Every prospect for good work
in every department is excellent
and we have no fear that the
church will fail in its effort toward
rejuvenation.
Our beloved nation has entered
upon the most serious undertake
ing in her history. We are facing
war such has never been ex-
perienced by humanity before.
The grief and sorrow which will
soon invade our land will beggar
description. In this crisis, call
is sent out to all people for an
increased devotion and prayer to
God. The churches. which are
the houses of God, should be filed
to overfowing with people intent
upon prayer for the nation, for
the men 9nd boys who will give
their lives for the nation and for
those who will remain behind,
that they may be given power and
grace to bear the trials which
will soon be upon them. People
do not realize the seriousness of
the situation and neither do they
realize that the whole issue is in
the hands of God. 1t they did,
there would be no lack of prayer.
Work is necessary, but we should
not forget that our dependence is
altogether upon the God in whose
hands we are. Let US, therefore
give ourselves to His service in
work and increased prayer, that
He may indeed be our stay in this
time of stress. ...4.....
