CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ene,ss feet ct
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase In United States ReveA>ad ~
Census Taken by National Conn
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States IS de
cidedly on the increase. This fact Is
revealed by reason Of census taken
of the insane, feebleminded, epileptlcs'
inebriates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental n.y.
giene. Analysis Of this census is found
in the Mental Hygiene. 1t was COM
piled by Horatio NJ. Pollack, statistlci-
an of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith M. Furbush'
statistician Of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase Of population from
April Is, 1910, to January l, 1917, was
11.8O per cent. The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
Of insane in institutions was lS1,I9l.
The census taken in the present year
revealed 234,O55 insane persons In In
situations. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the CORE
spending period was 24.64 per cent, a
growth more than double that Of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate of increase OF the
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that of the general popu-
lation in every state except Arizona,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one of the states
in which the disparity between growth
Of population and increase in insan-
ity has been greatest. In this state
the population increase was 9.S4 per
cent, as compared with a percentage
of increase of insane in institutions OF
27.3S. The neighboring state of 1ndi-
ana shows an even greater disparity
with percentages Of 4.64 and 27.44 re-
spectively.

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial lea, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputation.

A Danish doctor at hospital IL
Paris has invented a cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go ABOUT
without crutches two days atser MS
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
of cardboard about three-siXteenth OF
an inch thick, and bandages soaked IN
q starch solution After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which aftep being soaked IN
the bath fold round each other AID are
secured with bandages.
The principle is that of an egg IN
CUP, and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
else, which it is usually impossible to
obtain at this phase Of his convaies-
cence: also he has to suffer none OF
the Inconvenience of crutches, stick
suf1icing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
a year, by which time permanent
artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

nerve may be kept at it twice as long
as horses are fit for service. Mules
can be raised more cheaply than any
other stock, and, unlike horses, Will
never founder themselves if by chance
they should have access to more feed
than is good for them. They can be
put into the market much sooner than
horses, and if properly handled, when
two years old, will do as much work
and stand it better, than four-year-old
colts. Mules are. less liable to con-
tract diseases than horses, and their
value is not decreased by blemishes as
is that Of horses. Mules seldom run
away, but when they do they seem
to run more from sport than fright
and generally wind up safely. They
lnstinctively avoid holes, obstacles or
dangerous places. They can stand
heat, abuse or hardship better than
horses and can always be relied upon.
They are sensitive as we'll as sensible
animals, responding quickly to kind
treatment by docility and gentleness.

so quickly that they are marketable
when three years old, while horse
colts cannot advantageously be sold
under five years. In this way the cost
Of feeding and the trouble and risk OF
raising are decreased.
Buyers will always handle good
mules, as the demand for them Is
steady. Where large numbers Of mules
are raised there are always plenty OF
mule buyers in that section Of the
country. Buyers do not go where there
are no mules to sell. In time Of war
mules are always in great demand and
bring good prices owing to their pow
ers of endurance.
Comparing cattle with mules, one
steer will eat as much as two mules.
AS compared with swine, If the same
amount Of feed that is fed to bunch
of hogs is fed to mules it will not take
long to find which makes the most
money aside from the fact that there
Is no risk from cholera.

KEEP CHOLERA OUT OF HERD
First Thing to Do Is to Keep Ho0s

If YOU want to keep cholera out OF
your herd the first thing to do is to
keep the hogs clean. Keep them out
of wallow holes or filthy places and
see that they have clean beds. Do
not let the sows that are going to far

Don't overfeed the turkeys, and al
ways have a place where they can
roost by themselves. If kept with
chickens, they soon become lousy. It
does not take many lice to kill a

poults from getting lousy is to keep
the old ones free from lice and then

That the local baseball club will

opinion of Dep" Barer,kamp, leader

And when We take a-.look at the

him. "Nig" Snider, with his arm in
old-tine form, will be behind the bat,
and Big Elan Vangilder will be on
the firing line; Walter Aikens, big
southpaw from the swamps, down
around Whitewater, promises to make
Van step lively for pitching honors;
and Judging from all reports and past
performances, he is capable of making
his promise good.
One glance at this infeld is sufi-
cient-"Old Reliable" Clay Sinners will
De on first base, Dave Moore and Gro
yer Meatte, who were the class of the
Portagcville club last season, will be

Of all. Many will remember Moore
when he was here with Portageville
last year, and better all round man
can not be found outside the big show.
Sinners, Baynhan and Meatte need no

ardeau.
There will be no change in the out
field-Rozier,, McCauley and Meyers
holding down their old positions.
1t is more than likely that two ears
will be given away to the shareholders
this season, and if SO, the shares will
range from one cent to fifty, which will
make it possible for everyone to hold
from one to a dozen shares at cost
of only few cents.
Here's hoping that Manager Baran-

the Capahas will beat last seasons
