GIRLS IT'S 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 ask
ing 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
soreness and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts right out without
pain.
This freezone Is gummy sub
stance which dries instantly and sim
ply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornless feet create a youthful step
which enhances her attractiveness.-

RHINE CITIES FEAR AIR CRAFT.
Prisoners Mention Fear of InsufIi-
cheney Of Air Defenscs.

With the French Army in France,
May 22.-Germans captured by the
French testify to the brilliant work
OF the entente allied aviators, who,
the prisoners say, leave the Germans
no peace. Fears are expressed re-
garding future operations By allied
airmcn on the Rhine cities, which
they believe would be laid in ruins.
The Germans declare their anu-air-
craft defenses are insufficient to pre-
vent the allies visiting either day or
night tho Teuton camps, canton
ments, depots and airdromcs.
Other prisoners assert that Empe-
ror William hesitated a long time be.
fore starting the offensive this year,
but that Gen. Ludendorf obtained
the upper hand by promising to force
a peace by beating the allies by Eas-
ter. The Crown Prince, with the
military caste in Germany, they say,
succeeded in ejecting Rudolph Won
Valentini from power after he had
predicted a catastrophe for the Ger
man arms.
(Von Valentini was chief of Empe-
ror Williams civil cabinet and was
replaced last September by Won Berg.
Won Valentini's removal was hailed
by the pan-German newspapers as a
triumph for their cause.)

successors shall have been elected
and qualified.
1t Is we'll settled principle of law
that courts will construe together and
If possible give such construction to

am Of the opinion, therefore, that
the General Assembly in adopting
Section 1877 Of the Code, wherein
they use the expression "until the
next general election for county She
riffs" did not intend to fix the time
for the sherffs to take office different
from that fixed by the constitution.
That provision necessarily was in
tended by the General Assembly to
mean that the Governor should have
the right to appoint a sheriff in case
Of vacancy until the next general
election in that county for State and
county officers. at which time the She
riff could and should be elected for
the full term Of four years.
