Yes! Lift A Corn
 Off Without Pain.

You corn-pestered men and wO- men need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you be- fore, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone ap- piled directly, on tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all without pain.
 A small bottle of fpeezone costs very little at any dfug store, but willI positively tai off every hard or soft corn or caflus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surround ing skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any free zone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. It is fine stuff and acts like charm every time. #63

TRUTH TRIUMPHS
Paragould Citizens Testify For the
 Public Benefit.

A truthful statement of a Para gould citizen, given in his own words, should convince the most skeptical about the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. If you suffer from backache, nervousness, sleepless- ness, urinary disorders or any form of kidney ills, use a tested kidney medicine.
 A Paragould citizen tells of Deans Kidney Pills.
 Could you demand more convirc- ing proof of merit?
 w. R. Stanton, 524 E. Poplar St., Paragould, says: "I suffered from a lame mad aching back, with weak ness through Ihy Joins. >My kidneys acted irregulafly ana the kidney secretions cont hined sediment. Diz- zy spells and leadaches frequent ly came on anh my muscles and joints were sore. Doan's Kidney Pills removed the trouble.

SEPARATE PEACE

Washington, May 1.-The Unit arate peace with Germany. Even should the Berlin government offer terms acceptable to this country, there will be no action unless it were taken jointly with the entente allies.
 America was committed to this policy by the State Department yes terday The announcement re- suited from widespread reports dur ing the past few days that Germany contemplated a peace proposition to this country Cable dispatches from Europe yesterday afternoon further indicated the imperial German gov ernment was about to make anoth- CT statement of terms.
 The State Department made flat denial that proposals from Berlin had already reached this govern ment. Secretary of State Lansing declared nothing whatever had been heard through any channel or from Iany source.
 Whereas in February this gov ernment would have accepted dis continuance of submarine warfare by Germany as a sufficient conces- sion to avoid a break in relations | it was declared yesterday even should Germany withdraw every U-boat she had from the ocean, il
 would not lead this nation to lister Ito her peace proposals now. |lSAFEGUARD SMALLER NATIONS | Tie question is graver and deep

CT; and the department would not make known the terms it has in mind for what peace must be when it comes. It is known, however, the aims and purposes of the ad- ministration are drafted on the Hines laid down by President Will son in his war address to con- gress. The extension of democratic government and guarantees under (which smaller nations shall be safe are the keystone of this position.
 The governments determination mot to conclude a separate peace has been buttressed as result of the conferences here with the French and British missions, it was indicated in official circles. This does not mean that the administra- ltion cOntemplates making this na- tion signatory to the joint agree |ment binding the allies to a peace for all or peace for none policy. Neither President Wilson nor the State Department has power to bind the nation to such an agree ment treaty ratification powers be- ing placed in the Senate under the constitution.
 The administration, however, is in a position to guide the interna- tional policy of the nation so that the Senate would have little power to do other than agree in any course the executive might set.
