All Want to Try New Drug That Dries
Up COrns So They Lift Out.

Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing
freezone, the recent discovery of Gin
cinnati man, which is said to loosen
any corn so it lifts out with the fingers.
A quarter of an ounce costs very lit
tie at any pharmacy, but is said to be
sufficient to rid ones feet on every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You apply just few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inhames or even irritates the adioin-
ing tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou
sands of deaths annually from lockjaw
and infection heretofore resulting from
the suicidal habit Of cutting corns.

PLAN FOR RETURN
OF FRENCH TROOPS

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES AT
THANH, Alsace, March S--Just about
the happiest girls in the world today
are the girls of Alsace, who years ago
following their first communion, Sc
cretly hid away their white communion
wells to be worn again in welcoming
the French troops back to Alsace-
should that happy event ever come.
Today these girls in that portion Of
-Alsace which has been re-occupied by
the French are supremely happy, be-
cause they are girls whose dreams
have come true
Some of the younger ones had only
a few years in which to dream, and to
wait, but amongst the line lines Of
white-robed and white-veiled girls and
women who welcomed the French
troops on their arrival at Thanh, in
August, 1914, there were some who
had cherished their communion wells
for over forty years.
And now that this happy dream has
come true, the white communion wells
are again being laid away for another
happy dream that promises not to be
sc long in coming. This is the mar
rage between Alsacian girls and the
French soldiers who have redeemed
their province for France, and already
In the town of Thanh alone four of
these marriages have taken place,
when white wells, worn at the first
communion, then to welcome the
French troops back to Alsace, were
finally worn for the third and last
time at the marriage ceremony which
cymbolized the union anew of France
and Alsace.
The brides in these happy events had
the additional pleasure of having the
civil marriage ceremony performed by
a gallant French captain, who having
lost his right arm in the fighting to
redeem Thanh, now serves as French
military mayor, whilst the religious
ceremony was performed by French
priests who came in the wake of the
French army.

The Kattaks ProUe Quite Strong
Force With The Indian Army

adjutant could not look into the case
until the next morning. In the mean
time, to safeguard Sher Gul, he told
the subador to see that twenty stout
men slept around his bed.
The subadar made it fifty, but to no
avail. At one in the morning the adj
jutant was called out quietly to see the
remains of Sher Gul. His head was
lying on the edge of the bed, Ratchet
imbedded in the skull. He had been
killed with fifty men sleeping round
him. They had all slept like the dead,
and nobody had heard the blow. There
was no evidence against Shere Khan
whatever; public opinion was on his
side.
"Zam, Fan and Zar"-land, women
and gold-according to the Persian
proverb, are at the bottom of all out
rage. and with nine Khattaks out Of
ten, it is Fan.
The Khattak thinks no end or MS
personal appearance. He dresses to
kill, and loves to go and parade in the
bazaar in his gala kit. He will spent
hours over his toilet, peering at him
self in the glass all the while without
a trace of self-conseiousness, though
his neighbors may be almost sinter-
ested in the performance as he. Then,
with his hair neatly oiled and train
to the level of the lobe of his ear, he
will stride forth in his fowery waist
voast of plum color or maroon velvet
with golden braid, spotless white bag
CIV trousers, a flower behind his ear,
a red handkerchief in his pocket, a
cane in his hand, and for headgear a
high Kohat lungiplack with yellow and
crimson ends. and a kula covered with
gold.
Every Khattak is a bit Of blood. In
his country a snowy exterior betokens
the gallant in both sense Of the word.

man unless he has served in the army

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are OF
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est of application of its untiring re-
search is the recommendation that it is
as necessary to attend to internal san
itation of the drainage system Of the
human body as is the drains of the
house
Those of use who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting hadache, stufy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach. can instead, feel as fresh as 6
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter
Everyone whether ailing, sick or
well, should. each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom-
ach. liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action Of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot
water is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.

CANNED GOODS WILL
Be TESTED As To
DANGERS OF POISON

NEW YORK, March SIT is an
rounced here by the National Research
Council that an exhaustive investiga-
ton is to be undertaken to determine
to what extent, if any, the danger of
poisoning is involved in the use of
canned goods. The National Gamers
association, representing practically all
producers of canned foodstuffs in this
country, is to bear the entire expense
of the investigation, which will be
conducted entirely Independent of the
association, except in the matter of
the financing of the work. A sum Of
100000 will be appropriated by the
Gamers association, should the work
reuire so large an expenditure.
The proposal 20 make such an in
vestigation was brought forward by DR..
George E. Hale, director of the Mount
Wilson Solar Observatory and chair
man of the National Research Council,
who believed there was widespread in
terest in such an important subject as
the danger of poisoning from the use
of canned goods. Approaching the
National Gamers association, DR.. Hale
found that organization eager to have
such an Independent investigation
made, firm as it was in the belief that
canning methods as generally used in
this country thoroughly protect the
public from the danger Of poisoning.
Many cases of illness that have been
attributed to poisoning from eating
canned goods are believed by the can
ners to have actually resulted from
entirely different causes or from dis
regard of the ordinary precautions,
such as not allowing goods to stand in
a can after being once opened.
The Gamers association itself has
for years maintained its own labora-
tory in Washington, adequate to con-
duct its own Investigations, but has,
thought it wise to put its
case into the hands of an independent
research board, for although the sub
ject is one that has been investigated
to some extent before, there has as
yet been no complete survey of this
problem. With a view to supplying
this deficiency, the National Research
council has appointed a committee to
the inquiry, which will be
by the Harvard Medical
school in it's department of Preventa-
tive Medicine and Hygiene. The work
has been entrusted to DR.. M. ]. Ros-
enau, of Harvard, who is one of the
most eminent archaeological chem
lists in the coutry. The results of the
will be published through
regular scientific channels from time
.c time, but it is expected that it may
Dc a matter of three years or more
before the ground is completely COW

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
MESOPOTAMIA,M March S.-(The Brit
i, h eyewitness correspondent of the
Associated Press.)-The Khattaks are
the handles of the Indian army. They
are like the Celts of the British army,
reckless, generous, improvident, mer-
curial. altogether a friendly and re-
sponsive sort of people, but with the
cueer kink that one finds in all Path
ans. that primitive sensitive point or
honor and shame which puzzles the
psychologist.
The Khattaks kept up their spirits
all through the hot weather. They are
TOO lively sometimes. AS soon as the
drum and oboe sound they start cat
calling and make their work fly. The
Ktattaks are as responsive to the oboe
as the Highlanders to the bagpipe, but
thew are more demonstrative. 1t is
GOOD thing to be near when the khat-
talk rifles leave camp. At the first
found of the drum and oboe they break
into a wild treble shrek, failing on
perhaps, with the balbala, the Pathan
imitation of the gurgling of the camel.
These trfbesmen are easily excited
seldom dispirited, and if so, only for
short time. Their eagerness Is some
times a positive danger during an at
tack. At Sheik Saad it was difficult 10

BUYING WAVE SENDS
COTTON HIGHER AGAIN
Cent Advance Made; Highest
Mark Reached Near Close
Of Days Trading.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 30.-An ad
vance of a cent a pound on the strong
est months was the result OF buying
wave which developed on the opening
OF the cotton market here today ana
persistent thruout the session. Nester-
days weakness was replaced by firm
ness and the ring had great difficulty
a. times in meeting the demand. Floor
comment was that the market had be-
come sold out and oversold thru re-
cent operations. The surface reason
for the rise appeared to be the cold
wave crossing the belt, but the under
lying reason apparently was the re-
fusal of spots to follow the decline in
contracts
Opening at the advance the market
stood about 80 points up in the early
trading. BY the middle OF the day the
rise was widened to about three-quar-
ters Of cent. Highest prices were
reached toward the end when active
mouths were 80 to 102 points over
yesterdays last quotations. Closing
prices showed net gains or 81 to ss
points
