LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corr
or calIus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called ~freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you,

Fire Loss in United States.

II one could Imagine all the build
ings destroyed by fire In the United
States In year arranged along one
highway, each building occupying a
lot 60 feet wide the highway would
extend from New York to Chicago,
and the buildings would line it on
each side. Such is the calculation Of
the department of Interior. Further
more, person travelling this scene Of
desolation would pass in every thou
sand feet ruin from which an in
Jured person has been taken. At every

counter the remains of a human he

Alder Worlds Oldest Dye.

For the purpose of making dyes the
common alder appears to have been
unnoticed by the pioneers Of this coun-
try, who made use of so many barks
and roots. However, 1t was well-knuwn
to the Indians, who used it to good ef-
feet. 1t dyes a reddish color, aud down
to few years ago was employed by ma

be the oldest recorded dye in the world.

other extreme by putting on the table

the plate is a total loss. and even that
which Is left on the platter Is often
thrown away though 1t can be made
to appear again in as attractive a form
if the housekeeper knows how to use
it. Poor cookery means waste, for II
food does not appeal TO the palate, in
all probability it will not be eaten;
and in that case 1t is total loss. This
is also true of food that has suffered
from bad seasoning. To oversalt or
burn a dish may be as wasteful as TO
throw 1t into the garbage pail. 1t is

SPIRIT OF LIBERTY LOAN

The chief emphasis to be laid on the
success of the Liberty Loan is not its
over.$ubscription by 80 per cent. but
in the vast total OF individual sub
scribers. The appreciate billions OF
money represents an investment OF
tho provident public. but the large
distribution of it shows the awak-
ening of the people to their sense
OF duty Some of these subscrlb-
ers performed this duty at a sac
rifce, Notwithstanding the principal
is to be returned 10 them with interest.
The profit in this case. however. is
negliA lie to what might be obtained
il, other investments, il mere gain
we're the object. This distinct evidence
OF the Willingness Of the people to sup
pert the government excites greater
confidence ID the success Of the larger
loan to come.
Moral effect is another feature Of
tie success of the Liberty Loan issue
that must not be minimized. The
liberal response of the American peo-
pie conveys very definite message to
Germany of their earnest intentions
in this contest. Even if it may not be
discouragng to the autocracy at war
with US. it is without doubt disappoint-
ing. To our Allies. however, it Is as
breath to their nostrils. for it Is in
money, just now, and what money will
procure that is most important TO
them. Il assures them of replenished
stocks of ammunition and foodstuffs
that will keep them going until we can
give them our physical help in restor-
ing their depleted man power. 1t Is
but the beginning Of our activities in
this war. but it is magnificent start
that we have made and which has re-
stored hope and courage as to the out
come Of the conflict.

From the Upshu- Republican.
The State School Book Commission
presumed under the law to be COM
posed OF Eight citizens Of the state,
at least five OF whom shall be ex-
perienced educators Of known char.
acter and ability and who are at the
time Of their appointment engaged in
actual educational work" with State
Superintendent Shawkey. its secre-
tary. has just held its meeting at
Charleston and made sweeping
changes in the text books 10 be used
in the public schools of the state for
the next five years. II is estimated
that the changes made by this COM
mission will cost the taxpayers and
patrons of the free schools more than
million dollars. All of which is
certainly uncalled for. and cannot be
justified by any reasonable argument.
If the Commission had been COM
posed OF men. the majority of whom
had possessed grain OF sense no
such unnecessary burden would have
been put upon the people. especially
Al this time when our country Is In
volved in crisis. war and war prices

vide for his family the abosute nee
essites. The call is now coming 10
every family to furnish men at the
front, To conserve their food supply.
and 10 invest their money In Liberty
Bonds. Women are urged to the
strictest economy in their household
affairs: flower gardens and vacant
lots are being utilized in growing
vegetables that tho neople may have
food sufficient for this crisis; boys
and girls have been excused from
school work that they might aid in
this noble effort TO feed a hungry peo.
pie.
And now without the slightest ex'
ruse this School Book Commission
imposes upon a peonle already dis
tressed and burdened 10 their limit.
this further and useless burden OF
more than million dollars. II Is pos
sible that under ordinary circum.
stances some changes In books would
have been we'll. hut under present con-
ditions these changes are inexcus-
able. and if there had heen drop
of patrotic blood in the veins of the
majority Of the members Of the Com.
mission no change would. have been
made.
But after ALL what more could you
