death from lockjaw or blood poison are
now told by Cincinnati authority 10
use drug called freezone, which the
moment few drops are applied to any
corn. the soreness is relieved and soon
the entire corn. root and all, lifts out
with the fingers.
1t is sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and SIM
ply shrivels the corn without intiaming
or even irritating the surrounding It's
sue or skin. II is claimed that a quar-
ter of an ounce of freezone will cost
very little at any Of the drug stores, but
is sufficient to rid ones feet Of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at a corn is a suicidal habit.

LANSDOWNE AGREES WITH THE
PRESIDENT

TT WILL. be hard for many Americans
to understand the furious newspaper
war which has been started in England
by Lord Lansdowne's letter urging re-
vision of Allied war aims. for that letter
states the position of the American Gov
ernment as accurately as if it had been
written by President Wilson.
Northcliffes Daily Mail heads its edi-
toral The White Flag" and declares
that Lansdowne 's alone in his surren-
der" But the Daily News says
The letter is as consp cuous for its
courage for it's largeness and sanity
of vision. He does immeasurable service
to humanity in setting before all the
nations the duty of a will to peace. The
way to which Lord Lansdowne points,
tc which President Wilson has pointed
and which Asquith Balfour. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg. Czernin. BRAND and
Smuts have approved Is a way TO re-
store to the. shattered world the security
and stability of peace
This difference of opinion is incompre-
hensible until we turn to the German
newspapers. which put the Lansdowne
letter on their first pages with such head
lines as "a beginning of Englands get
ting reasonable" The German iunkers
advertise the letter as proof of military
weakness and war-weariness in England,
and use it to spur on the German people
to renewed will to victory" This is dis.
honest and despicable. and intelligent
Germans well know that Lansdowne and
Asquith are no more in favor of a pre-
mature peace than are Northcliffe and
Lloyd George. But the fact remains that
many Germans will believe the junker
newspapers and for time will cherish
hopes of crushing England-for a time:
but nothing can keep the whole truth
from seeping into Germany eventually.
IL is not for the immediate present that
such statements as that of I.ansdowne
are decisive political movements. They
are valuable to those who are patient and
who can look forward many months.
seeing in them the strong promise of
purpose among all the Allies as unified
as their military aims and plan are now
unified and recognition in Germany
that this democratic unity is achieved.
