WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNs
Apply few drops then lift cOrns OIL
calluses off with fingers
No pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
n particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound Of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone. which will cost but
trine, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stnntly the soreness disappears and
SHORTLY the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin,
Just think! No pain at all; no
soreness or. smarting when applying
it or afterwards. :, If your druggist
don't have freezone have him order
it for you.

WORSE THAN A RACE RIOT.
(Erom Tho Wo,.hlN

The mutiny OF the 100 negro SOL
dlers of the Twenty fourth Infantry
at Houston, Texas, in which seven
tecn persons were killed, and many
wounded brings to crisis the whole
issue of training and keeping troops
in the South.
we may assume that the investign-
ton ordered by Secretary Baker will
be thorough and that the punishment
will iii the crime, but that will not
close the case
There can be no excuse or defense
for the conduct of the rioting troops.
, 1t is evident, of course, that the police
OF Houston, by their stupid and nrdi-
trary conduct, deliberately invited
trouble, but police are often Stupid and
arbitrary, no matter whom they nrc
| dealing with, and police stupidity
never cnn justify mutiny on the
part Of armed troops, whether white
men or negroes.
After the race riots mt East St
Louis the Southern papers were loud
in their assertions that, after all, it
was in the South alone that the ne
gro was understood and appreciated,
and that he should stay in the South
Now comes this Houston mutiny,
which was IL direct result of Il quarrel
between white police and negro
soldiers and we have the st. Louis
riots reversed, with the additional
sinister element that the killing was
done by soldiers wearing the uniform
of the United States.
Already protests Ind been filed at
the War Department against the
4 nf - 4,
camps. The controversy will now flare
up anew. and every Southern COM
munity that is near II training camp
will be in state of hysteria over
the prospect of another mutiny of
negro soldiers. The smouldering fires
of race passion will again burst into
flames, with deplorablc consequence
cs to blacks and whites alike. Yet the
fact remains that the negro troops
must be trained and that the author
ity of the United States Government
must he enforced.
Prehaps the initial cause of the
Houston mutiny can be found i'm the
mistake of using negrotroops for work
that, in view of the peculiar condi-
lions in the South. ought to have been
left for white troops, and the addi
ity of white troops in every camp in
which there are colored troops. 1t
was the experience of the Spanish
American War that where negro
troops were camped with white troops
the white soldiers exercised II
steadying and beneficial effect upon
the negroes.
The problem is by no means an
easy one, but it must be solved, and
in view of the exigenccs of war an
Immediate solution is imperative.
The Government is compelled to deal
with n wretched heritage of human
slavery and is obliged to mako the
best of it. In that task it is entitled
cooperation of all people, North
and South, whatever personal opin-
ions may be held in regard TO the
race question. Least of all is this
time for extremists on either side to
add new fuel to the flames.

FEDERAL CONTROL OF coal
TRADE.
New York Worldly

Soieiy through their own fault tho
coai-operators and coal-dealers have
Drought about situation which rc-
CURES that the Federal government
shaa assert its powers. For the Inst
year conditions have steadily been
growing worse.
BY systemutized profiteerinp tho
coal INT. rests have created n state of
ieeling that leaves them friend
less. The campaign of extortion be-
gun many months ago has reached
point where it cannot be longer en-
cured. Public resentment is so
strong that any steps that will helm
TO avert coal panic and protect con-
sumers will be approved.
rev years ago the prospect of the
Federal Governments taking over
the coal supply of the country, with
the purpose of fixing prices and reg
ulating distribution, would have been
denounced as rank Socialism. To-day
IT is accepted as u measure forced by
the rapacity of the producers.
In Washington, it is evident, action
cannot be long delayed The Federal
Trade Commission recommends that
the Government take possession of
dustricsits marketing. The railrond
war board and the War Industries
Board realize that the government
must direct shipments. These meas
urcs could have been voluntarily
adopted by the coal interests if they
had honestly sought to cooperate
with the government in the emer-
gency. But their one desire has been
to fill their own pockets, regardless
of every other consideration.
