LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so II 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 a few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
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 small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

S?2 TO GRADUATE FROM ~"
President Van Hise to Award DipIo-
mas to Seniors on June 20.
Many to Be Absent.

Madison-On June 20 President
Charles r. Van Hise will present S72
diplomas to seniors at the commence
ment exercises of the University of
Wisconsin.
The feature of this years com
mencement will be the great number
of seniors who will be graduated in
absentia. II is estimated that sheep
skins will have to be mailed to over
800 men graduates. Over this number
havs already left for some sort of war
service, more than 200 being at Fort
Sheridan. President Van Hise is ne
gotiating with the commandment at the
fort TO see if it will be possible to get
the seniors who are in training there
to come back for graduation. Ii is
quite doubtful, however, if the men
will be given leave. and in that case
their diplomas will be sent to them at
the camp.
The commencement exercises will
begin with the baccalaureate sermon
by the Rev. Hugh Black of the Union
Theological seminary on Sunday, June
II. Monday will be class reunion day,
when all classes represented at the
commencement, including the alumni
back for their annual reunion will hold
meetings, picnics and exercises.
Tuesday will be alumni day, with
parade through the streets of Madison,
banquet and the annual alumni ball.
The commencement exercises will
take place on Wednesday.

DoGWooD is ABUNDANT.
Plant Might Be National Flower Of
United States.

If the United States were TO choose
a national flower it might well be the
dogwood. In the spring, from Maine
and Minnesota 10 Florida and Texas,
it lights up and beautifies the coun-
tryside with the abundance of its
white blossoms.
Even the most unobseryant know
it in the spring, and no one seems
able to resist the temptation to break
off the blossoming branches and
carry them home.
The result OF. this practice is that
the dogwood is disappearing from
many woodlands. This is the more
general, because. although it is gen.
orally too small for saw timber, its
fine hard wood is used in making
toothpicks and skewers, and its bark
has a medicinal value. .

sHRINKAeE OF GRAIN IN DRYING

An excessive amount of moisture
in corn is the principal cause for its
deterioration during storage. The
amount of moisture is therefore one
of the chief points considered in
grading corn, especially for export.
In the effort 10 find an accurate and
practical method of determining the
amount of moisture in grain, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture two or three years ago de-
vised an apparatus by means Of
which the moisture can be accurately
shown in from 20 TO 25 minutes. In
using this apparatus the amount OF
moisture is expressed in percentages
of the original weight of the grain.
For instance, one sample of corn may
have only IL per cent OF moisture.
while another may have 35 per cent.
Naturally the drier grain is worth
more than the other, other things be-
ing equal.
But since this apparatus has cen
merchants on one sile and elevator
men and operators OF grain driers on
the other have become mole pro-
nounced. The trouble is that the
percentages ofmoisture abown by test
before storage or before drying does
not correspond with Ibe actual loss
of weight which results from storing
or from drying. There IS DO real
difficult. this fact; il is simple
matter of arithmetic.
Suppose a eertail :ample Of grain
weighs lJ0 ounces, and The moisture
in it is 20 per cent, or twenty ounces.
Now, suppose the gram is dried until
it weigh only ninety ounces, That
means that ten ounces OF moisture
have evaporated, leaving ten ounces
of moisture still in the ninety ounces
Of grain. The grain has lost 10 per
cent of weight hut the percentage OF
moisture has been reduced only SO
per cent, because Ten ounces is Ill
per cent Of ninety ounces. 1t, there
fore, Sc ms as II the shrink@ge in
weight mas been greater than the re-
duction in the percentage Of moisture.
A simple calculation In arithmetical
proportion viii chow the reduction n
percentage of moisture when the
shrinkage in weight is known, or vice
versa. This calculation is explained
In circular SO OF the Buear Of Plant

merly a coast steamer had 10 wait for

A small electric motor mounted on
the top of the elevator structure fur

cables used. The motor controls are
placed at any point that affords the
operator an unobstructed view. At
ter the operator has brought the plat
form to the level Of the loading dock,
