 HAS NO CHANGE
Put a few drops on that old touchy corn then lift it
 out without pain

Ouch ?.. This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to d tender, aching corn stops sorenesss at once, and soon dries up and lifts right out without pain. A delightful surprise awaits all who try this.
 He says freezone is a, sticky sub- stance Which dries immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissues or skin. A quar- ter of an ounce of freezone which will cost very little at any drug store, Is said to be sufficient to remove every hard soft corn or callus from ones feet. Millions of American women will welcome this announcement since the inauguration of the high heels.

disagreeable and the sense of mighty obsta cles tends to weaken our reso- lution to overcome them, then Amer ica, no matter how great it's material resources may be, is not one of the great nations of the world.
 Our people know only as a matter Of intellectual concept that 8 great war is in progress. In an academic spirit they have judged the mighty issues involved, and have determined that our cause is just and that of Germany unjust But America has not as yet the war consciousness When this country entered the war, MT. Beck asserted, he made up his mind not to make any criticism, and only spoke an adverse word a few weeks ago when peace talk threat ened to paralyze the mind and will of the people.
 But having regard to the splendid results that followed the criticism of Theodore Roosevelt in this very hall and the criticism of Senator Lodge in congress, l want to say, with a base mcnt of spirit, that I was wrong and that Roosevelt and Lodge were right" The speaker said that in three things could this country have helped the Allies-shipptng airplanes, and artillery.
 Had 17000 American airplanes 1 been able to fly over the plains of l Cambrai when Hindenburg launched ] his offensive there would have been t a different story to tell,' he added. | Tn Gods name, do not let us self i complacently think that we have done ; ali that a nation of a hundred mil { hons could have done. Let us req l lize that a full year after the war 1 we have not acquitted ouselves as l we should have done. If we tell the ! people that we are bound to win: 1 that it is but a question of time, you won't get results. Tell them, Men of America. your backs are to the i wall. Now is the time to go on or to l go under
 We have been going along on a { mistaken psychology. We began the war by deprcciating the strength of 1 cur adversary and exaggerating our i own strength. This is no time for 1 elf-complacency, for boasting. This
 is the time to do or die. This great 1 country will never win It's true place

KILLED 30 HUNS

A Bronx. N. Y, school boy, thir-
teen years old, claims to have killed
thirty Germans on the French front
by bayonetting or shooting them. He
is unusually large for his years and
when, he told q Canadian recruiting
oficer he was eighteen he was accept
ed and shipped "Over There" When
he was wounded at the front and sent
to a hospital behind the lines, his
mother was notified by cable and i'm
mediately informed the British au-
thorities that the boy was only thir-
teen years old. Upon recovering the
veteran Of several battles who says he
counted thirty Germans that he had
killed was sent back to the United
States and has resumed his studies in
school.

Domino Shortage Averted
When u. s. Cork BOhs Up to
Pinch Hit for German Wood

Once again American ingenuity has
come to the rescue Of American SOL
diers about to be deprived OF amuse-
ment. A threatened shortage in domt-
noes has been promptly met and ali
the indications are that the 10000
sets needed for soldiers in khaki at
home and "Over There" will be sup
piled at the desired time.
The shortage was due to the in
creased demand for dominoes by the
devotees of "Muggins." and to the
fact that the sets used in America for
merly came from Germany, whose ex-
ports to this country have not been
very extensive for some three years
and half.
When the threatened shortage was
reported In the camps, the Y. III. G. A.
sent out an o 8 for help. A prompt
answer came from the employees or
the Armstrong Cork Company, Lam
caster, Pa, who volunteered to stay
after hours to make dOminOes for the
soldiers. The dem0noes are being
made of scrap cork carpet, donated by
the company, which also had special
machine made to stamp out the
blocks from double nothing to double
six. The new cork dominoes are bet
ter than the old wooden ones from
Germany, according to soldiers who
have used them.
This is the second tragedy averted
in the amusement world. It was only
a few weeks ago that checker short
age occurred owing to the fact that
the supply from Germany had been
cut OF. This situation was met by
the use Of old-fashioned, checked lin
oleum and oil cloth.

Officers Should Stimulate
Enthusiasm Of Their Men

1.-THE first condition I'm order to
stimulate the interest OF the men is
the enthusiasm OF the officers," says
Major H. d. Nelly, Adjutant 34th

bulletin dated at Camp Cody, NM.
'sInspiration Ia contagious, and IL the
commanding officer has It. 1t will
gradually be communicated to all in
his organization. Then the purpose
OF each drill must be made perfectly
clear to each man. American soldiers
have not yet acquired the habit or
doing things simply for the purpose
Of doing them. The war value OF
each exercise should be clearly set
forth In meetings with the non-com-
missioned officers. and these instruct
ed to explain it to the men. The writ
or, for example, knows nothing more
tedious than constant repetition OF
the trigger squeeze exercise as a thing
for its own sake. Done day after day
for an hour or more. 1t 1s enough to
drive even a dull man insane. But 1t
In the only way to learn to shoot accu-
tately. And looked at from this an
gle It 10 O means Of the very sort OF
6fnciency most needed in trench and
open fighting. The same In true OF
bomb throwing, gun laying. fuse set
ting, trench digging. patroling. and
al the thousand and one little things
we are instructed to do day after day.
ff the ofRcer will see to 1t that he
Anters into the supervision Of the
drills In the same spirit In which he
wished the men to carry them out,
much Of the dreariness will disappear.
What we learn to do now under SIM
ulated battle conditions are the same
things we shall have to do later when
bullets are flying. IL We can keep
our interest to learn to do them well

France have done SO much damage to
the transports that orders have been
issued By the War Department to
commanding officers to see that the
practice is discontinued. Not content
with carving their names in conspicu-
Gus places, thus defacing the wood
work, soldiers are said to have peck

Ger was mistaken by q new recruit on
sentry duty, who saluted him. The
non-commissioned oficer, ignorant
that his colonel was nearby, returned
the salute. Next morning he was or
dered to report to the colonel, where
he was asked why he returned the
salute when he, the 'non-c0m," knew
he was not entitled to 1t.
"Sir," he answered, 'I always re-
turn everything I am not entitled to. ="

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events 1t
is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this cOun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained in every d.
rection need have one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted
Famine at Home In Spite
OF Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the
more than One-halfymillio tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
slvely that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringeRcy
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of a sugar
famine before the end of August Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton of sugar. BY 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation is in a position so
that If we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
far atleld, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.
