to see the old scene again where only
a few escaped death, and said. "Oh

country though born in Germany.

blacksmithing business for several
years, after which he went into the
grain buying business. About four
months ago he decided to make his
home with his nephew. Mr.. Fred

cation will be followed and the men
examined two months ago thereun-
der will be called.
H. A. Northup, secretary of the
Audubon County Exemption board,
informs us that no men from this
county will be included in this order.
This county is one of nine in the
state of Iowa which has it's full
quota already in the service. This
will be gratifying news to everyone,
and it is hoped that sufficient men
have already been drafted to lick the
kaiser to a fragile.
1t is expected that the call will
bring about $4,000 men to Camp
Dodge, Des Moines. The largest per
cent will come to Iowa, the next
largest goes to the south. The Iowa
boys are hoping that they will be
sent to Camp Dodge.

HELPFUL WORDS
From an Audubon Citizen

Is your back lame and painful?
Does it ache, especially after ex-
ertion?
Is there soreness in the kidney
region?
These symptoms suggest weak kid

If so, there is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys get fast weaker.
Give your trouble prompt atten-
ton.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Your neighbors use and RECON-
mend them.

Mrs. Matilda Delahoyde, Leroy St.
says: Two years ago l used Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured from Roberts
Drug Store. and they acted satisfac-
torily. My back stopped aching and
my kidneys got strong. Doan's Kid

costs but few cents, and ii it fails
to give easy relief in every case Of
liver sluggishness and constipation,
You have only to ask for your money

Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipat-
ed bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause
Inconvenience all the next day like

WOMEN TORTURED !
Suffer Terribly With Corns Because
Of High Heels, But Why Care Now?

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then
proceed to trim these pests. seeking
relief, but they hardly realize the
terrible danger from infection, says
a Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers If you will get from any
drug store quarter Of an ounce OF
drug called freezone. This Is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet You
simply apply a few drops directly
upon the tender, aching corn or cal
lus. The soreness Is relieved at once
and soon the entire corn or callus,
root and all, lifts out without one
particle Of pain.
This freezone is a sticky substance
which dries In moment. 1t just
shrivels up the corn without infam-
ing or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. Tell your wife
about this.--Ady,
