With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain


Sore corns, hard corns, soft
corns or any kind of a corn can
shortly be lifted right out with
the fingers If you will apply di-
rectly upon the corn a few drops
of freezone, says a Cincinnati au-
thority.
1t is claimed that at small cost
one can get a quarter of an ounce
of freezone at any drug store,
which is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus with
out pain or soreness or the dan
ger of infection.
This new drug is an ether COM
pound, and while sticky, dries
the moment 1t is applied and does
not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding tissue.
This announcement will interest
many women here, for 1t is said
that the present high-heel foot
wear is putting corns on practi-
cally every woman's feet.

Jones' Protest

The patriotism of some of our lawmakers at
Washington and their eagerness to speed up war
preparations, is nothing short of marvellous.
Take our own Senator Jones as an instance. Jones
hears rumor that the administration is going to
order an eight-hour day in the lumber industry in
the Northwest
And Immediately Jones dispatches protest to
President Wilson, saying he "can hardly believe
that such an unfair and unjust recommendation
will be made, unless it is to apply universally.
Now Senator Jones knows (and if he doesn't
know, he ought to- that the ordering of an eight
hour day in the Northwest lumber industry is the
only solution of the problem of getting out spruce
quickly for airplane constructions problem over
which lumbermen have been dilly-dallying all
winter.
He also knows that it was the refusal Of the en-
ployers to grant the eighthour day that drove our
skilled loggers and mill worker into other lines OF
work; and that the granting of the eighthour day is
the only thing that is going to bring them back into
the woods.
No doubt Jones' "protest" to the president will
make little difference either way. 1t is just one In
stance of how politicians in congress "helping"
the over-taxed administration supply our boys in
France with the material to lick the boches.

Why Readers Are SkeptiCal

After perusing some of the items that some news
papers print it is great wonder that readers get
into the habit Of declaring all newspapers unntel-
igent and unreliable.
Take, for instance, the following little dispatch
that appears in the Thursday morning paper:
BY Associated Press.
TRENTON j. JAN 2S-What said to be the first action
kind annu the citizenship of former
who persist in allegiance soveregns they to
taken here today when Federal District Attorney

Wusterbarth, time postmaster of Clifton, N. ].
Now every well informed Tacoman knows that
the case of c. A. Darmer Tacoma architect, in our
own federal court just exactly the same sort of
alton as is described above. And it was filed sew
eral weeks ago. At the time it was announced that
it was the second such suit to be started in the
country. Thus the New Jersey case is at least the
third not the first.
When supposedly reliable press association
makes such errors and when local editors whose
business it is to be familiar with local events calmly
publish such misstatements, is it any wonder that
readers become skeptcal of newspaper veracity?

Dear Miss Grey: ] was at
tracted by the headlines over
the letter from stenographer,
the young working girl with
ideals. / feel that she was con-
scientious in her convictions
relative to men as cowards;"
but she admits that she Is still
in her teens, and alas, she has
yet much to learn about the
characteristics of men.
If you will permit yourself
to mental research, you will
no doubt remember that in all
OF your observances of actual
life, demonstrations and picturi-
cations "a coward" is one who
takes advantage of another.
So / contend that 1t is only a
coward who will make ad-
vances, not one who will sup
press his feelings.
A real man of noble and cour-
ageous disposition will always
protect the dignity of a lady and
will never fail to display a GER
tain air of reserve and respect
while in her presence. Why
brand him a coward" if he
falls to impose advances on one
of the opposite sex?
A man who leaves it to the
woman to point the way (as
Stenographer writes) only
shows his willingness to respect
the greatest virtue that every
woman should have-self-re-
spect.
Miss Grey, I hope you will
pardon my assertions, as | don't
intend this as a debate, or to
contest the young lady's article.

other side as protection for

"Safety First" Senators

distinctive uniform for troops who do the fighting
in the trenches, to separate them from those who
occupy what the senator calls "safety first posi-
tons behind the lines
If patriotic Americans who enlist in their
try's service, ready to go where they ordered,
whether in the first line or any other line, to be

of wearing an American soldiers uniform, justice

further.

against Americas going to for the rights of it's

wear something to distinguish them from senators
who put partisan politics aside to vote for their

FINANCES AND MARKETS
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, March 4-Stocks were almost in a state of deadlock today, leaders moving within restricted linn it's, though mainly downward. The tenor of domestic and foreign advices afforded a preteXt for further short selling.
 Investment rails, grangers and coal CTS, yielded 1 to points and industrials of the seasoned class averaged one point recessions.
 Shippings, Oils, feathers and the more diversified array of war shares made gross declines of 1 to 3 points and utilities lost 1 to points.
 Reactionary tendencies were partly neutralized by the relative strength of Baldwin Locomotive, American Car, Mexican Petroleum and motors and accessories. Sales amounted to 315,O0o shares.
 Call money opened at per cent, a natural result of last weeks adverse bank statement. but soon fell to 4. Time loans held at per cent with s minimum of supply. Italian exchange recorded another severe break.
 1nternationals and fractions were heaviest of the bond list, Liberty issues varying slightly. Total sales, par value, aggregated s3.65OO00.
 United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call.

MIAMI GARDENS
 ENTHUSE STATE
 FOOD OFFICIALS

War gardens at Miami will cover over 100 acres this year and provide food for several thousand miners and their families, according to George H. 'Smalley of the federal food administra- ton, who has just returned from the eastern part of the state.
 The plots have been allotted and preparation are under way for the years food conservation work on a scale which will eclipse the efforts of last year. The employees of ,the Miami and the Inspiration companies are talk ing an active interest and all realize the part it means in the governments war program.
 At Miami MT. Smalley spoke with Jerry Elliott, state conservation chair man, at an All-Arizona Hoover sup per prepared by the women of Miami under the direction of Mrs. Mary Pritner Lockwood, director of econ omics of the state university. The menu contained nothing but wheatless products.
 The Miami war cook book issued by the women of that mining city will soon appear in printed form and, ac- cording to the food administration of ficials, will be one of the first issued in Arizona.
 At Globe both MT. Elliott and MT. Smalley spoke at a meeting of the wholesale and retail merchants on be- half of lower prices for commodities during the war. At Stafford they found the farmers responding to the food administration call for more wheat acreage, the increase there being fully l 25 per cent over last year.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

R ALLYN LEWIS
 Tn professional channels a good deal of emphasis is being laid upon the dullness of the market during declines. Private borrowing, viewed In connectlon with this, suggests that the actlVe llSt may easily become oversold, as proher- age loans show no tendency 10 ln- crease. These features are influencing recommendations to buy on reactions or SetbackS.
 Excluding some of the less important stocks. prices are fluctuating within a narrow range, but with a decidedly strong undertone. In fact, railroad and equipment stocks are moving to higher levels. The public is doing little. As usual, it prefers to wait for bright days and, of course, higher prices. While bear sentiment prevailed among professionals, some commlSSlon houses in their market letters advised purchase of stocks because Of fine technical position and belief of a large short interest.
 The amount of selling in the first | half hour was not large and was matted by the sudden strength in Baldwin. | An analysis of the Baldwin annual report shows that the company IS Tn strong position and a big money earner.

OLD RECRUITING
 METHODS CRUDE
CFrom Tit-Bits)

The cursory examinations which many recruits allege they received in the earlier days of the war were far greater tests of endurance and stamina than the recruit of fifty years ago was wont to receive. In those days if a man could count all his limbs and had sufficient teeth to enable him to crunch the hard army biscuits and salt beef, or bite off the end of a cartridge be- fore putting it into his old Brown Bess he was certain of being accepted.
 In earlier times, however there was no pretense at medical examination at all When Queen Elizabeth resolved to assist in raising the siege of Calais in 1896, the lord mayor and aldermen of London received instructions to raise a thousand men for this service, and on Easter Sunday they proceeded to sev- eral churches with their constables, fastened the doors and selected from
