ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A DIT!
No foolishness! Lift your corns
and calluses off with fingers
It's like maglcl

Sore eorns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn few drops of
freezone. says Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store.
which viii positively rid ones feet Of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while APP
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many OF our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

SELF HELPS for the
NEW SOLDIER
By a United States Army Officer
Copyright, 1917, By the wheeler Syndicate. Inc
THE FIRST LESSON OF THE SOL
DER.


The first thing of all that the young
American of the new army will be
taught, and must learn thoroughly If
he is to serve his country efficiently
as a soldier, is OBEDIENCE
expressed In discipline.
Discipline is the fundamental OF the
soldier.
Discipline is not punishment. Dis
cipline Is not the goose step. Dis
cipline, in the proper sense, lis control
control for definite purpose. Obedi-
ence is merely the adapting of oneself
to such control. And to make the sys-
tenn effective from fine private to the
army corps, the discipline to the sol
der must begin with the discipline of
himself.
Obedience, or discipline, is not in
tended to convert man into an I'M
thinking machine. A soldier who can
think is twice the soldier who cannot.
The most efficient National Guardsmen
on the border year ago were invari-
ably the most intelligent. What dis
cipline does attempt to do is to supply
man with the machinery of action
after his thoughts have been blasted to
pieces by shells. His motions must be
ngrained-automatic. This is attained
through steady drill, the routine of
camp, and ''the school of soldier"
No man is fit to comand who has
not learned to obey. Command, in
the nature of things, will fall to those
who obey most quickly, most intelli-
| gently.
Discipline, to the young American
soldier, will be manifest in his con-
duct; in the way he carries himself
| the poise of his head, the exactness of
his shoulders. 1t will be evident in
| the neatness of his clothes; the care
with which he buttons his uniform; in
the way that he ties his shoes. 1t will
be evident in the degree that he keeps
himself washed and brushed; in the
| scrupulous fashion in which he dresses
his cot, his kit, his quarters. 1t will
| be obvious in the conscientious manner
In which he attends to all the routine
duties of the day in his observance OF
the code of military etiquette.
Discipline of this character runs
throughout the whole day, except wher
man is off duty, and then he can b.
as care-free as he likes. But mar
whose mind and muscles have had thu
training of soldier no longer find
himself at ease in the old slouchy, fab
by slump of the boy of the street cor
ner. His body, corrected, becomes tn
figure that nature intended, both walk
ing or sitting.
The fact that discipline runs through
the day-and the nights important
That is the method by which it be
comes habit. If discipline We're cor
fined to marching or drilling, then
would impress itself only when march
ing or drilling-at other times to b
forgotten. This would not save tn
situation if the camp were attacked b.
surprise. The point is simply this
the soldier learns that everything h
does is the way most carefully studie
out to bring the most effective result
from a large body of men, with tn
least confusion, the least loss of ener
gy, or combined power. When he ha
learned this, the young American vii
have learned his first lesson as sol

Raymond Blathwatt, the well-known

Three socially prominent women
were sitting in park dance pavilion
in Kansas City last week when the
floor manager approached their table
and said, Would you care TO dance

The senior is the dancing master.
One of the women, speaking for all

Col John Ward, NJ, p, is a popular
hero.
When he was sergeant and was
licking into shape the raw recruits
for his famous navvies' battalion his
method Of imparting instruction,
though not always according to the
drill book, was simple, direct and eff

Once, for instance. he was in charge
of a squad ut musketry.
"This," he said. as the bayonet boss,

The squad grinned sheepishiy. But

Germans to establish one there and as
