Tells How to Take Soreness From ;
 Corn And Lift it Right Out.

Hospital records show that every time you cut corn you invite lock jaw or blood poison, which is needless, says Cincinnati authority, who tells you that 8 quarter ounce of a drug called freezone can be obtained at lit- tie cost from the drug store but is sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
 You simply apply a few drops of this on tender, aching corn and the soreness is instantly relieved. Short ly the etnire corn can be lifted out. root and all, without pain.
 This drug is sticky but dries at once and is claimed to just shrivel up any corn without inflamming or even irri- tating the surrounding tissue or skin.

 of Refined Cruelties.

Washington, April 10-lndicative of the refinements of German prison cruelties are documents made public here today by the Belgian legation showing the iron-heel disciplinary methods in vogue at the incarceration camp of Holziminden, Germany.
 The camp is devoted almost entire ly to French and Belgian women and young girls tofn from their homes either as hostages or for the purpose of forced labor Their home tiee sum- marily severed by Prussian Military Needs," these women are required, in violation of every precept of internat- ional law, to labor on war materials to be used bv their Teutonic masters against relatives in the Allied armies. statement, "having refused to work on sack for the use of the German army, were shut up in barracks, No. 13, filthy hole without any light. Left without any food to speak of, they were imprisoned from the 18th of August to the 18th of September, 1917. They perhaps would have died of hunger if charitable hands had not passed them, surreptitiously, a little food prepared secretly. The pro- posal that they should give in only aroused their indignation. Their mat tresses and blankets, and even the woolen clothing they wore, were taken from them. Fortunately, on Septem- |ber17 a representative of the Spanish legation at Brussels, came to the camp. An hour before the arrival of this visitor of note, the prisoners were released, but the representative was

 "In accordance with the commandent of the camp. I hereby give the fol- lowing orders:
 Beginning on Friday, September IA, there again will be enforced the pro- hibition against receiving letters, cards and packages. At the same time blankets and mattresses will be taken away as heretofore.

 Augustine Brizard, 8 days of close arrest, for having lost her number tag.

What War Doea.

For those who go to war the victory is not always to the strong nor tho race to the swift. One of the seeming ly paradoxical things taught by tho conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the rigors of war almost uni formly developed into tough and reli' able soldiers, often more 50 than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many a man who had been tmid and considered himself a coward was in reality braver than the swashhuckler who had sneered at him back home. , Men who have been disgraceful fail. ures in civil life have been converted in the hre of war into leaders of high ability.
