THE ELECTION.

AS The Journal goes to press, the AS

These are two of the great election sur
prises. The same bulletin says that New

Senate will be Republican. 1t is fair to
assume, however, that the returns are in

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 need
less, says a Cincinnati authority,
who tells you that quarter ounce
of drug called ircezonc can be
obtained at little cost from the drug
store but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or
callus.
You simply apply few drops OF
this on a tender, aching corn and
the soreness is instantly relieved.
Shortly the entire 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 inHaming or
even irritating the surrounding tis-
sue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.

TRAITOR Herbert Hoover in a tele-
gram to II. G. Tyrrell, state director
of the United States service reserve,
says the problem of getting food to
American soldiers overseas, to the
soldiers and the war workers OF the
allies and their women and children,
includes not only the finding OF the
food. but the finding OF the ships in
which to send it. No amount OF
increased production, decreased food
use or general food substitution and
saving will help unless the ships
are available for sending the saved
food over there. Mr.. Hoover says
NY anxicties about ships are no
less numerous and various than
those about food itself. Hence ii
is with the utmost earnestnesS that
| endorse the idea OF creating vol
untary reserve Of men from which
the man power necessary to solve
the great problem Of shipping can
be recruited as rapidly as it can be
used.
There are many more ways thar
fighting by which the loyal men Of
| America can do their share in win.

but all can help in some way. Fol
every army OF fighters there is nee
essary a much larger army OF loyal
eager men devoted to the mainten
ance of the fighting unit, One is a

let us enroll a voluntary corps o

An Inside Bath
Makes You Look

Says a glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.
This excellent, common-sense
health measure being
adopted by millions

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this
is of vastly more Importance than
outside cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health, while
the pores in the ten yards of bowels
do.
Men and women are urged to
drink each morning, before break
fast, a glass of hot water with tea

it, a sa harmless means of helping
to wash from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels the previous
days indigestible material, poisons,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleans

entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the
eliminative organs.
Those who wake up with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste
or have a dull, aching head, sallow
complexion, acid stomach; others
who are subject to bilious attacks
or constipation, should obtain a
quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate at the drug store. This will
cost very little but is sufficient to
demonstrate the value of inside
bathing. Those who continue it
each morning and are assured OF
pronounced results, both in regard
to health and appearance.
