HOW TO OVERCOME
 FOOT TROUBLES

Unless a person has actually suffered with tired, aching. burning feet or painful corns or calluses they cannot appreciate the mistery that such af flictions bring.
 Reports now show that over 90 per cent of the American people suffer from some form of foot troubles and modern footwear is said to be causing an alarming increase in this percent age. Therefore, the following should
 Recently in the treatment of these foot troubles by patients using Ice Mint these distinctive features were noticeable: Tired, aching, burning and swollen feet invariably become cool, easy and comfortable after the first ap- corns and calluses, it was noticed that after a few nights application, the corn or callus had a tendency to loosen and in a short time could easily be lift ed out with the fingers--root and all- leaving the surrounding skin in normal healthy condition.
 This, together with the fact that Ice- Mint costs little and is so easy and pleasant to apply--and is absolutely harmless--is no doubt responsible for the high endorsement given it by Spe- cialists as the surest. safest and most efficacious treatment for distressing g foot troubles.
 When you stop to consider that the simple, pleasant process of rubbing a little Ice Mint on the foot at night will shortly rid one of every painful corn or callus, and will keep the feet cool com Portable and rested even on the hottest days it is easy to understand it's great popularity and why it is now used in nearly every American home. Anyone suffering from foot troubles s advised to give Ice-Mint trial. There is noth- ing better.-Ady.

DESPITE ALL DELAYS
 PROGRESS IS MADE
Food Bill Not Yet Law and Fight Expected in Conference-Den- man. C Goethals Squabble the
 Most Irritating Problem
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, July 21.-(Speciai0 The Senate today voted on the food bill, The bitterness engendered in tie upper house, a bitterness doubly ac- centuated by the severe arraignment of Herbert Hoover by Senator Reed, Is destined to be continued in confer ence. The two houses are not in ac- cord regarding several features of the bill, notably the prohibition section.
 The war is not confined to Europe Washingtin is in a "stew" without parallel. There are charges and count CT charges, elimination and recrimina- tion. Certain members of Congress do not trust the President and his ad- ninistrative officers. The President and his officials apparently repose lit tie confidence in Congress. Admins- trative officers have fallen out among themselves
 The preparations for war are han dicapped. Certain progress, however, is the net result. In the end, despite delay. all will be we'll
 The food bill, giving the President power of an autocrat, was bitterly op
 
 If it contains provisions capable of putting to an end the machinations of food pirates the endless debate serves well the purpose of the pirates.
 GOETHALS-DENMAN SCRAP
 The most irritating problem, how ever. is the inability of General Goe- thals and William Denman to agree AL of ships for an American merchant ma rine
 To the observer it appears that Goe- thals is jealous of Denman and Dem man jealous of Goethals.
 It is said that Goethals will not submit to bossism. It Is said that Dem man is willing that Goethals have his way to a reasonable extent but that his plans must be reviewed by the shipping board.
 An unfortunate rumor is afloat to the effect that Denman opposes Goe- thals because sometime ago Goethals desired to pay steel masters $76 for steel, whereas Secretary Daniels was buying steel for s51.
 At any rate. the two cannot agree. The President took a hand but. judg- ing from results. he straddled tho fence. It is believed in Washington that before results can be had either Denman or Goethals must go.
 CRY OF FAyORITISM
 And further proving that the head which wears the crown must rest with out ease, there Is the contention of north ern members of Congress that this ad- ministration is preparing to make repub- licans fight the war-that in every re- spect the south is being favored.
 The points in their contentious are: l. Democrats are appointed to the in- numerable offices and clerkshps the cre- ation of which was made necessary by war. These democrats will not be re- quired to face German bullets

WILL FIGHT DRAFT LAW


 The Wisconsin senator declared that he would fight for the repeal of the draft law as long as he is in the Senate, and predicted that the draft will be the main issue at the next election and that % per cent of the voters will declare against it.
 Senator Calder offered as an amend ment the resolution of Senator Cham berlain, chairman of the military com mittee, proposing to amend the army draft law to make aliens subject to con scription excepting subjects of Germany or those exempted by treaty. He said of the 100000 registered over 1000, 900 are aliens.
 The amendment was finally withdrawn to expedite the bill are required to furnish more troops than preregistration quotas indicated; all the southern states are required to furnish less.
