Cincinnati Man Discovers Drug that

Good news spreads rapidly and

a Cincinnati man, which Is said to

A quarter Of an ounce costs very

ficient to rid ones feet Of every hard

You apply just few drops on the
tender, aching corn or toughened
callus and instantly the soreness Is
relieved, and soon the corn or callus
Is so shriveled that 1t lifts out with
out pain: 1t is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the sur
rounding skin.
This discovery will prevent thou

We aren't haying farming weather
over here these days, to my notion.
It's been very rainy for the past few
days, and continues to rain. Most
everything looks like spring now,
though. The fields of small grain
! look so green it reminds me Of home.
| The Alps are very pretty as they
are getting green. To look back
! across them reminds me Of the old
: Appalachian region, which extends
across the northern part of Oconee.
Guess those old mountains have
their green suit on by this time.
Mama, you have been asking me
all about my fare and health, so I'll
just tell you. A soldier gets accus-
toned to practically any and every
mode Of life that man could expe-
rience. I have slept in every way a
man could imagine-on strawless
ticks, with straw on the ground, on
cement floors, plank floors and any
other conceivable manner that man
could experience-and I'm still liv-
ing and enjoying the best Of health.

EXPRESS COMPANIES MERGED
Into Ono Gigantic Corporation-$3O,
100000 Capital.

Washington, May 26.-One union
express company for the United
States was created to-day by agree
ment between Director General Nc
Adoo and the Adams, American,
Wells Fargo, and Southern compa-
MES, whose transportation business
will be merged under a new private
corporation with capital of more than
$50, 100000, to be known probably
as the Federal Express Company.
Geo. c. Taylor, now president of the
American, will be head of the new
company.
After July 1, when the com bination
becomes effective, shippers will direct
shipments "by express" without re-
gard to company and soon therefore
the individual names of the separate
companies will begin to disappear
from wagons, stations and cars. The
company will be express carrying
agency Of the railroads. operating
privately, but under contract to turn
over so Il per cent Of their gross rev
enues-morc than $200,OOO,OO0 last
year--to the roads for transportation
privileges. Three smaller railroad
owned companies, the Western.
Great Northern and Northern may
join the combination later.
Some Wages Raised.
pending application for 10 per
cent increase in rates filed before
operation of railroads or the express
combination were contemplated will
be passed upon soon by the Inter
State Commerce Commission. More
than 100000 employees of the four
companies are to be retained under
the new corporation and their wages
will be raised in many cases, accord
ing to Mr.. Taylor.
Through economies BY the COM
mon use of wagons, trucks, distrib-
uting stations, city Offices, ware
houses, railroad cars and other
equipment and the simpl fication of
accounting, the merged companies
hope to save many millions of dol
lars and to render better service.
Though the merger.is arranged un-
der war exigencies. it is planned as
permanent, and accomplishes the OBJ
ject which has been discussed in vain
for almost a century OF competitive
conditions. Last year, the four lead
ing companies barely made expenses,
and the Adams recorded deficit.
Early months this year showed even
worse record, owing to the general
demoralized conditions Of railroad
transportation, the rising cost of ma
terials and shortage of labor.
The new concern, whose name will
be the Federal Express Company, un-
less existing small companies with
that name in two States object, will
have stock Of $30,0O0.000, repre-
senting the actual value Of proper
ties pooled, and in addition enough
stock to provide working cash.
