Touch any corn or cal- Jus with two drops of "Gets-It," and "Gets-It" does the rest. It's a relief to be able to stop cutting corns, making them bleed. wrapping them up like packages and using sticky tape and salves. It removes any corn clear and clean. leaving the toe as smooth as your palm. You can wear those new shoes without pain, dance and be frisky on your feet It's great to use "Gets-It.'

SCOTT, ESCAP PED

OF HORRORS Tn.
GERMAN PRISONS.

Cooked, y Before He
Would Go TO Work

Germany. though her civilians may
starve, though her soldiers may at
tempt nutiny and desert, though her
and actual suffering such as they al
ready have endured for many
months, will never reach the stage
where a successful revolution can
be counted upon to rid the nation of
its autocratic government. and thus
bring the world war to an end.
That is the opinion Of Private John
A. Scott, No. 10 Of the Canadian Ex-
pedttionary5 Forces, a visitor in Far
go today. H
Private Scott, prisoner in Germany,
from April, 1915. to October. 1917,
during which time he experienced all
being starved, beaten and finally sent
into German fields and into German
coal mines to work after prison life
became so unbearable that he could
nofilonger stand out against the Hun
demand that he go to work. brings
q most vivid picture Of life lin the
German nation in war time.
The picture he draws is sordid in
It's details, terrible in that 1t brings
q new conception of the f1endish
treatment accorded British and Cam
adian prisoners and rivaling in its
horror the worlds heretofore most
dastardly crimes against humanity.
Outstanding features Of his tale of
barbarous treatment as related to a
representative of The Forum today,
are these facts:
He was shot by a German sol
der while lying wounded in a
cellar with go other Canadians.
He closed his eyes, lying there
on the cellar floor. expecting mo-
rnentarily a blow that didn't fall
from the uplifted butt of the Ger
man soldiers gun as the latter
found him in the terrible hole
where numerous of his wounded
companions met death.
He spent two nights and two
days in a freight car, before his
five wounds, one through the
lung, were dressed. The sngi-
neer in charge of the prison
train bumped the cars without
consideration for his charges.
Scott's wounds were torn open
by the jolting, and he was cover
ed with blood from head to foot
at the journeys end.
Bread and water when the
train started on its two-day jour
ney, and another bowl of the
same food many hours after

According to this version, the
league leadership adopted the fifty

MORE WHEAT FOR ALL
ALLIES BY JANUARY
Hoover Predicts a Reduction
In Percentage of Substi-
tuteS Necessary.
WIRE TO MUMFORD
Austrian Debacle Makes
New Sources of Supplies
Available.

A probable reduction in the per-
centage of substitutes in wheat bread
by January l. in view OF the recent
developments in the war, was an
nOunced by Herbert Hoover this
morning in a telegram to F. b. Num-
ford. federal food administrator for
Missouri. The greater safety in the
about by the armistice with Austria,
and increased accessibility to Indian
and Australian wheat supplies, even
if Germany does not quit the war,
will result in a large increase in the
available supply of wheat, Mr.. HoOv-
er said. The telegram follows:
The inter-allied food council in
London is discussing the possibility
of diminishing the percentage of sub
stitutes in wheat bread by January
in all Allied countries in view of the
new situation. The Austrian aTmis-
tice must result in greater safety of
the Mediterranean sea routes and an
increased accesibilitOy to the Indian
and Australian wheat supplies, even
if Germany does not quit the war.
This should make sufficient wheat
from these countries available dur
ing the winter to reduce the amount
of substitutes in the bread of all the
Allied countries and allow the sub
stitutes now being imported to the
Allies to be used for dairy feeds of
which there is a great shortage.
THE same situation in feeds exists
in the United States and would also
be indirectly relieved by relaxing the
use of substitutes in bread. The al
tered war situation would thus enable
us to obtain better adjustment be-
tween human and animal food.
The change in the war situation,
however does not alter the total
of food demands upon the United
States, but will increase our load;
so there will be increased demands
for economy. VS. must now partici-
pate in the preservation of the newly
liberated nations in Austria from
starvation and it is anticipated that
while some wheat will be needed from
the United States, the largest part of
our exports to that quarter will be
corn, rye. barley and fats Ameri-
can merchant shipping must be placed
in service before exports can be
started to them
