 proved in Several States.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Continued l improvement in the influenza situa- ton in army camps and in several states was shown by reports received today by the surgeon general of the army and the Public Health Service New cases in army camps totaled only 2,733, with 327 deaths.

 States where the number os new cases reported shows a decrease in clude Connecticut, Deleware, New Jersey, North Carolinat Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin. For the country at large the peak of the epidemic apparently has been reached.
 Conditions still are serious in some states particularly Colorado, Iowa Kentucky, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebrss- ka, Ohio, Texas, and New Mexico.
 The effect of the epidemic on the railroads was shown by the Railroad Administrstion's weekly report. Ill., ness of railroad men interferred seri- ously with freight movement and un- loading. Repair work at railroad shops has been hampered, while a decrease in passenger traffic was noted.
 Reports that the influenza, germ may have been brought to the United States and spread by enemy agents possibly landed on American shores from submarines have been investigat- ed by government agents, but no basis for them has been found.

Turned Down Appropriation for Tick
 Eradication for Next Year.

De Queen, Oct. 25.-Quorum court met in this city Wednesday and trans acted large volume O. business in a very short time.
 At the meeting no appropriation was made for continuing the tick eradication work
 The result will be that all that has been done toward the eradication of ticks from this county will be lost.

 The present county demonstrator is a real live wire. MT. Wallace is eff cient, industrious and courteous and his work has been exceedingly helpful to the farmers of this county
 The fact that no appropriation was made for a county home demonstrat- or will, we are sure, cause regret throughout the county.

LETTER TO BUSINESS MEN

LETTER TO BUSINESS MEN Dear Sir:
 AS a business man your natural in- clinations are toward selling. Ours always have been; but now there's bigger consideration; this war has got to be won and any of our selling that stands in the way of that outcome, isn't patriotic; that's the way we feel about 1t.
 That's why we don't want to sell you any clothes if you already have all you need; to get more would be wasteful.
 That's why We say, if you do need clothes, get good ones; pay enough for the quality that endures.
 That's why we have nothing here but the best clothes like Hart Schaff- ner & Marx make; clothes that we know will last longer than others and will save money for you and will con- serve materials and labor.
 Yours truly,
 ROSENZWEIG'S

LIFT YOUR CORNS
 OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn or caIlus so it lifts out
 without pain.

You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by Cincinnati authority to use drug called freezone, which the moment few drops are applied to any corn or callls the soreness is re- lieved and soon the entire corn or cal Jus, root and all, lifts off with the fn- gers.
 Freezone dries the moment it is ap- piled, and simply shrivels the corn or call Jus without infaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but will posi- lively rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or hardened callus. If your druggist hasn't any freczone he can get it at any wholesale drug house for you.

SENDS REGARDS TO sLAcKERS

A copy of the "Hatchet," small magazine published on the high seas, has been sent home by one of the seamen in the U. s. Navy. The little paper is full of pep and encourage ment to the world. Attention is call ed to the following article which was given space in the "Hatchet." Now, since we've joined the Army,
 do you think you're doing right, When you treat the stacker better
 than the man who has to fight ? If he won't defend his country, he
 isn't worth a damn. Nothing but a nuisance in the eyes
 of Uncle Sam.
 From IS years to 40, he's supposed
 to volunteer,
 And buckle on his arms with little
 sign of fear.
 But you'll find his changing dollars,
 playing craps and at the dance For he'd rather go to hell than take
 trip to France. We're not supposed to grumble, but
 we think it's mighty queer, That the soldier drinks the water
 and the stacker gets the beer, We must always be in quarters rath-
 CT early in the night, And show up in the morning with
 our faces clean and bright. But the stacker is a piker, with no one else to please,
 Save the one-and- forty pounder
 that he packs around for ease; He is all for gain and pleasure
 and for his Country takes no
 chance,
 But he oughat to go to hell if he
 doesn't go to France

WORK OR FIGHT.
(St. Louis Republic.)

est. Louis Repubc.)
 .The most drastic step taken by the Government in it's effort to mobilize completely the man-powei of the nation since the selective draft law first went into effect, is embodied in the regulations IS sued by Provost Marshal General Crowder yester- day. ...: woe unavoidable under the draft Especially is this true where, Gen. Crowder says, Cit takes men from the farms and from all useful employments and marches them past idlers and loafers away to the army.
 this just complaint. It list of occupations which considered nonessential and provides that of draft age engaged in those occupations & or who have no regular employment, shall be called immediately for military service Previous classif cation on account of dependents will be dsre garded Furthermore, the list of nonessential n dlstlies may be increased almost without limit.
 Gen. Crowders comments on the order indicate that large movement of young men from the for bidden industries and from the ranks of the unem- poyed to the farms, shpbuding plants and other industries is the first effect anticipated. A considerable gain in men available for army service is inevitable, however as many youths Will prefer army service to going to work or looking for a new job. A great many, no doubt, who are not lacking in courage, but have held back because the law gave them exemption vii find a convenient in the Crowder ruling to break away from family or other influences which have kept them at home.
 The new regulations go into effect July 1. No foresee just how they will work Possibly some modification will be necessary from time to time. The purpose is right, however and the sent- ment of the country will approve the idea, espe cially applied to the "iders and loafers, who are a mockery to the brave boys that have donned the khaki and gone to the front. If the ruling re- suits in nothing more than the sending of such gen. try to the farms and workshops, it will be worth while.
 This is alone of military maneuver' again quote from Gen. Crowder. "It is a deadly contest of industries and mechanics Germany must not be thought of as merely possessing army. We must think of her as being army-an army in which every factory and loom in the Empire is a recognized part in complete machine running night and day at terrific speed We must make of ourselves the same sort of effective machine"

AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT

The appointment of E. J. White to be publicity agent for Alaska is admirable. better selection could not have been made. MT White has excellent abiitv ae writer and an executive and he possesses that rare quality usually designated as horse sense which is so necessary in such position as that which he has been called to fill. MT White is q trained newspaper man, and an excellent business man. He has watched the development Of Alaska for a score of years. He knows the Territory and her people He understands the possibilities of the North and her needs He knows what sort of pub
 city that is required to bring the sort of aid to this Territory that her welfare requires and he knows what we have that will appeal to the average man who is on the Outside.
 It was an excellent selection that Gov. Riggs made. and The Empire congratuates him and the people and MT White.

To these who have been following war develop ments there is not surprise in the announcement that the third German drive to be launched this year has resulted in failure.

 It was to be expected that drive in which 750,- GOO men were engaged would meet with temporary success. It be expected that the Germans would carry things before them for few days It takes some time develop such drive, and to determine where and how strongly to meet it. Until met, of course there successes.
 It is a matter for congratulation that the Ameri- cans were sent in to help stop the rush or the enemy. It is what the Americans are in France for and what those who there very much desired to do The circumstance that the Americans were crowded into the thick of the fight cannot fail to have a good effect the Americans. The successes they met with will give them confidence and knowl- edge how proceed with the greater task that is before them the Allies-that of driving the Ger of France and whipping them at home.

But we may look forward for a tremendous drive against the invaders this year. and may look with confidence for satisfactory results from it.
