THE AMERICAN WAY.

General PerShing's recent war
report gives us a history of the
work which the American army
has done in France. The report is
concise and soldierly document,
evidently without trace of exag-
geratiOn. But reading between
the lines we see the high courage
of our American boys clearly re-
vealed. The general closed with
a wonderful tribute to the pa
thence and heroiSm of his officers
and soldiers.
The work which the Americans
have done in the war is far more
than military experts foreSaw as
possible IN so short a space Of
time Ii was not TO be expected
that a body of young men drawn
from peaceful civilian life and
with a training brief though III
tensified, should be able TO pre-
vail wherever used against Ger
manys seasoned troops
Their success can only be at
tributed 10 the national American
character. The American is re-
s0urceful. He has initiative and Is
full Of latent possibilities. As
kipling says. he Turns a keen,
untroubled face home 10 the IN
slant need Of things.

That We shall be glad to get

That it should take something

Creel, and this by loyal American
newspapers and magazines-all

1t is quite well understood now
among the general public, and the
government well knew it before
hand, that if this iron-elad cen

not been ON the job, Germany
would have had much less need
of her elaborate spy system in
this e0untry-that many of the
events she could learn nothing of,
even with all her pains, would
have been placed before her, free

more metropolitan newspapers.

Although Thomas Hardy, the ia

SO long in Dorsetshire, among the
very scenes that he has depicted so
graphically in his books, he is of such
retiring and modest disposition that
his fame is unknown to q number Of
the quiet country folk who live in
his vicinity.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns ind who have

are now told to use drug called
freezone. which the moment n few
drops are applied to any corn. the
soreness is relieved and soon tie en-

the fingers.
This new ether drug Is the recent
discovery OF noted Cincinnati
chemist. II Is sticky substance
which dries the moment it is applied
and is said TO simply shrivel the corn
without infiaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. 1t is
claimed that a quarter II an ounce of
freezone will cost very little at any of
the drug stores. but is sufficient TO
rid ones feet OF every hard or sof.
corn or callus.
You are further warned that cut
ting at a corn Is a suicidal abit.--
