INVESTIGATING ACTIVITIES
 NATIONAL SECURITY LEAGUE

Washington, Dec. 19.-Investigation of the activities of the National Se- curity league of New York in opposing reelection of members of congress during the last campaign began today before a special house committee headed by Representative Johnson of Kentucky. he entire day was taken up with the examination of Colonel Charles B. Lydecker, president of the league, but many other officials of the organization will be heard later. Colonel Lydecker told the committee that the avowed purpose of the league last fall was to return to congress men with broad vision and foresight and who would be 100 per cent. American in their beliefs
 Not to mention any names" Colonel Lydecker said, 'T can safely say that I would have been sorely disappointed | to have seen certain congressman re- turned to office. Our efforts were used 1 against those men, some of whom seemed decidedly ro-German, and many were defeated. in some instances 1 by fusion. The action of congress as a whole during the great crisis just 1 passed was magnificent, but unfortu- nately there were certain members whose loyalty could be questioned. It was those men the league opposed.'
 Pamphlets giving eight "acid tests
 by which the loyalty of congressmen should be judged we're circulated throughout the country, Colonel Ly- 1 decker said. These tests, he said, were the votes of members on preparedness measures which had been before con
 gross and which the league believed were, for the welfare of the country Names of congressman who voted
 against the measures were included
 in the pamphlets.
 At no time during the campaign was the league influenced by any par 1 tisan or political considerations" Col J onel Lydeelzer-stated. "It was actuat ed solely by a desire to see the countr!
 end the war as speedily as possible
 We may have made mistakes, but i
 we did they were made unintention ally. We campaign for nobody ant
 were entirely above board.''

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrlvei
up eorns or caIluses so they
lift off with fingers.

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 drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the inauguration of the high heels. III
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order small bottle for you.
