PEACE TALK
IS PART OF
HUN PLANS
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, May 2.-Germany's
expected peace offensive against the
allied morale has apparently begun.
Officials hero say the widespread
launching of rumors, printed reports
and whispered condolences reaching
Washington, involving the likelihood
of peace proffers from the pope, Em-
peror Karl of Austria, King Alfonso
of Spain and even the kaiser, are
merely Germany's game for slacken'
ing the fighting spirit of the allies.
Most Of the reports concerning
peace moves emanate from Teutonic
sources in neutral countries. There
is nothing to indicate officially that
the pope has changed his views and
it is known that he was recently IN
opposition to any atetmpt at peace
now.
The reason for the kaiser's desire
for peace now is believed to be the
growing uneasiness in Germany
Alarm has been caused in Germany
by the scarcity of metal and wheat

Strictly speaking, we should say ciga.
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-

STRIKE the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances, that is the first
thing asked for.

Girls! Its Your
Step That Attracts
Says women pay too much heed tO
their face instead of
their cOrns.

Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what charms more than a
lovely skin, but your high heels have
caused corns and you limp little.
That's bad, girls, and you know it
Corns destroy beauty and grace, be-
sides corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet of every corn by
asking at any drug store for a quarter
OF an ounce Of freezone. This will
cost little but is sufficient to remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, touchy corn relieves the sore
ness and soon the entire corn, root
and all, lifts right out without pain.
This freezone is a gummy substance
which dries instantly and simply
shrivels up the corn without infiam-
ing or even irritating the sourround-
ing skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornless feet create youthful step
which enhances her attractiveness.-
