DEPEND UPON AUTOS
 RELIEVE RAILROADS

AS the war goes on, and as the 1 passenger-carrying capacity of the
 national railroad lines decreases, be-
 cause of the preference accorded freight transportation the travelling public is predicting that passenger
 automobiles must be depended upon to meet the situation.
 Statistics comoiled 5y 6 leading aytomobile engineer show that as much as 70 per cent of a cars mile
 age is consumed in service which would require the use of some other vehicle. These fieures holding be- fore the United States entered hostili- ties, it is logical to assume that the percena"e at the present day i' per- certiblv higher. Many Business con cerns have already provided taeir salesmen rWith cars for covering vari' Ous territories. and have thereby in- creased the efficiency of their contact with the trade by nearly 90 per cent a's represented by he additional calls made possible during a single day. N1wdays, commercial men are com menting on their inability tN set around satisfactorily by train. and are looking to automobile service GA soon as the roads open up
 But in the northern half of tne United States. the efficiency of both passeneer ceG and truck is rehucel : a'tou 50 per cent. because snow clos es the roads to traffic during the winter months. If the present con1-
 tions obtain for any leneih of time shippers ard the travelling public roads being kert open which could
 easily be done if every frea', snowfall

 cumulated. Millions are being snent 1 for road GeveloNment bT the various states and by the national govern ment every wear. vet this invneimp~t

NEW SHOES WON'T
 HURT AFTER THIS
Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shriyel
 Up COrns So They Lift Out.

Ouch !? ? !! This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will fol- low the simple advice of this Cincin- nati authority. who claims that few drops of drug called freezone when applied to tendre, aching corn stops coreness at once. and soon the corn dries up and lifts right out without pain.
 He says freezone is sticky sub stance which dries, immediately and never inf1ames or even irritates the surrounding tissue or skin. A quar- ter of an ounce, which will cost very little at any drug store, is said to be sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet. Millions of American women will well come this announcement since the in auguration of .the high heels.-Advt.

AMERICANS HAVE
 QUIET DAY ON
 FRENCH FRONI
Anti Aircraft Guns Keep High in Air Enemy Air
 planes After Pictures.

With the American Army in France March By the Associated Press. ] l- During last nightnOrmal artillery fir ing continued and patrol parties were active on the American sector north west of 1oul but there were no en agreements.
 At daylight an enemy airplane sWooped down on the American lines but was driven off by anti-aircraft and machine eunfre before it could bring it's gun into use. This has been g quiet day. The artillery on. both sides seemed content to fire a few de- snltory shots The shells were in- frequent rntil late in the afternoon when the American artillery livened things up bit, firing on a town in the enemy lines where troops had been seen.
 Although the weather was bright and Clear for the first time in several days, a mist arose from the snow and observation was obscured by the ground haze. Aerial forces took ad- vantage of the improved weather and operated freely. Groups of enemy planes came over for photographic
 
 by the american anti-aircraft guns. Planes from the American lines also were out in force. In the trenches the men divided their time between watching the aerial operations and drying themselves in the dugouts.
 First American Balloon.
 Observation balloons were up for the first time in several days. being stationed at intervals along the front as far as the eve could see in both directions. For the first time in the war an American observation balloon fully manned and protected by Amer jeans. went up. This is the first com plete unit of the American air service to appear in the field
 For two days it had been ready to ascend. the observers havin@ been up in French balloon several days previously. Today an American bal loon company was working where the French hitherto have been. The bag remained iu the air several hours, It rose higher than either the French or the Germans in an attempt to reach an altitude eeneeially favorable for observation. While it was at the highest point the watchers saw two airplanes, with the mack cross of the enemy on their wings, headed in their direction. The balloon was hauled down so that it might be grounded quickly if necessary American gun ners were on duty at many places nearby, for the balloon was protect ed heavily. They stood by their guns but the enemy planes, sailing across J,p,, ct Ysn ing out behind them like the tail of a comet, suddenly changed their course and headed for home. The appear ance of a squadron of planes from behind the American lines bearing the insignia of the French on their wings, probably was the cause.

The Indian Sign Language.

A white man who visits a foreign nation finds il hard and sometimes impossible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such difficulty; the problem of uni- versal language was solved centuries ago by the savage inhabitants of this western world. Should an Indian from northern Alaska go to Patagonia he could by means of this universal Ian. guage converse with his southern brethren almost as easily as he could with his neighbors at home. That would also be the case if he visited Central America or met the tribes men of our own western prairies and mountains. When this language was invented no one knows, but every h. dian learns it in addition to his own. Recently two chiefs of different tribes met in the Geographic society rooms in Washington and held conversation that lasted nearly three hours, and yet neither one knew word of the oth- CTS language. This universal Ian. guage is. of course, made up of signs.

Go to door that swings easily and set 1t about six inches open. Then bal. ance biscuit on the handle and draw the dogs attention to 1t, saying, "Shut the docr." He will naturally jump agaInse the door to get the biscuit, and his weight will shut it. Then praise him for 1t.

Square Deal for the Shops.

eff women had only the courage to stop shopping when they are tired" said young woman the other day. "1'hey buy things then that they do not and never will like and 1t is a bother to the women and needless expense to the shops. The goods are inevitably returned and credited. When shops are so decent about ac- cepting goods and crediting them 1t is only fair to such establishments to give them square deal."

Out of Time.

George Hamlin, during one of his horseback rides at Lake Placid, came across solitary old man, who, seated in the doorway of his cabin, was fid- dling away for dear life, quite regard less of such trifling conventionalities as time and tune. Hamlin listened awhile to the cacophony of sound in amusement and then inquired casually, "How do you tune your yiolin?" The reply came with refreshing ingeniu- ousness: II don't tune it-it don't sound right If I do."

Sitting by the Wall,

Every head waiter knows that it is useless to offer guests q table in the middle of the room as long as there is one against the wall to be had. Is it some inherited instinct that has come down to us from savage ancestors who knew the wisdom of being protected on the flank or in the rear while they ate?

BEST LIVER AND BOWEL LAXATIVE FOR FAMILY USE "Cascarets" Regulate Women, Men
 and Children Without Injury. Take When Bilious, Headachy, For
 Colds. Bad Breath, Sour Stomach,

Instead of nasty, harsh pills, salts, castor oil or dangerous calomel, why don't you keep Cascarets handy in your home? Cascarets act on the liver and thirty feet of bowels so gently you don't realize you have taken a cathartic, but they act thor oughly and can be depended upon when good liver and bowel cleans ing is necessary-they move the bile and poison from the bowels without griping and sweeten the stomach You eat one or two at night like can- dy and you wake up feeling fine, the headache, biliousness, bad breath, coated tongue, sour stomach, consti- patton, or bad cold disappears. Moth CTS should give cross, sick, feverish or bilious children a whole Cascaret any time-they are harmless and safe for the little folks.
