Tslls why n corn IL SO painful and

Press an electric button and you
form a contact with live wire which

press against your corn it pushes its
sharp root down upon a sensitive
nerve and you get u shock Of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns.

step into any drug store and ask for
quarter of an ounce of freezone.
This will cost very little but is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. A few
drops applied directly upon tender,
aching corn stops the soreness in
stantly, and soon the corn shrivels up
so it lifts right out, root and all,

BLANCHING CELERY BY
BOARDS AND BY PAPER

Celery is blanced by one OF the
many processes through which the
light is excluded from the growing
leafstalk. The normal g.owtn IF
the leaf is not hindercd, but through
the absence of sunlight, the develop
ment of chlororphil (green colorinp
matter) in the leafstalk is checked.
Of the many materials and devices
used lin the blanching of celery
probably the best results are had
from the use of boards, paper or
earth.
Blanching by Boards.
Early celery, or that which is to
De harvested before the cool months
OF fall is generally blanched by
means of boards. The boards used
Tor this purpose should be from 10
to 10 feet in length, II to Ia inches
VIDE, and one inch thick. When the
leaf stems are about one-haf inch
N dlameterat distance of about
one inch from the ground, the
olanching process may be begun.
The boards are placed flat side down
On both sides of the row with one
edge near the plants. In this posi-
zion the boards on both sides af the
row are brought to a vertical posi-
ton at the same time the lower edge
OF each board just touching the base
OF the leaves. The boards are held in
this position by stakes driven in the
ground or by short pieces of laths
tackled across the top of the boards
at SIX foot intervals. The boards NAV
also be held in place by means of
hoocks made of heavy wire, which is
decidedly the most rapid way of
spacing the boards, but the plants
must be large enough to assist in
holding the boards in an upright posi-
ton. Great care must be taken to
prevent the light reaching the plants
| from the lower edge of the boards. AS
precautionary measure against this,
the soil should be slightly banked
against the boards by means of a
celery hitler of cultivator. When
the celery is blanched, which will
! require three or four weeks, it is
harvested and the boards may be
used again during the same season.
When the celery is to be blanched
by the use of boards, paper or tile,
some of the elf-blanching varieties
should be used; and it must not be
| forgotten that the rows are three
feet apart instead Of six feet, as in
the case of soil blanching.
The advantage of this method over
the soil method is that double the
number Of rows can be gotten on
the same area. However, the soil
blanched celery is of better quantity
| and is more easily handled.
Blanching by Paper.
or the three methods mentioned,
blanching by means of paper is prob
ably, at this time, the most delicate
and impracticable for the CONNER
| cial grower. However, there are
many forms Of paper blanchers on
the general market, some of which
ire being used very effectively. Prob
tbly the most practical paper blanch-
ng device is where ~" rolls of build
ng paper (processed paper for this
)urpose) are used in much the same
way as where boards are used. Af-
ter the crop has been harvested, the
paper may be rewound and used
mother season.
The same planting distances apply
% this method as for boards.

A MENACE TO AMERICA


One Of the ablest writer's in Geor.
gia and one of the most modest with.
al, is Mr.. N. L. Willet, who writes to
the Augusta Chronicle under the
head of Common Sense Comments" "
He formerly wrote "Plant Hints
for that paper but his articles took
such wide range that the more COM
prehensive title ust mentioned has
been adopted.
In recent paper on Proletarian-
ism, Mr.. Willet presents forcibly some
facts that the people of this country
should seriously consider. Regret
that ihe Advertiser has not space at
this time to give the article entire.
Here are some sample paragraphs:
1T is sore fact that the spirit
OF the Bolsheviki is not confined TODAY
to Russia, but is found here in Anne
rlca and in England, France and Ita-
ly. In its essentials, proletarianism
Is Away international, and along with
international aims, at international
revolution; which means, IN turn, uni
versl chaos, disruption and downfall
and anarchism.
"Proletarianism has BETRAYED and
destroyed Russia. Even if Russia is
resurrected. it will take fifty years to
put her economically and morally
back to her old status.
The man gets payment by the
month or by the year, and the man
has bank account and who builds a
nome for himself, puts himself auto
matically out of the ranks proletari-
anism. He is a man that his country
and society can bank on, and he in
turn carries in his heart hope for
the morrow"
"Proletarianism has confiscated ali
>f Russia's wealth; wealth to it is a
iiabolical thing except as owned by
tself. The slogan of these proletari-
ans is help yourself" to money.
ands, houses, clothing, food or what
lot. The prolctarian in Russia has
1een easily transformed into a robber
md thug and wholesale murderer.
mere Is not one atom of the con.
'tructive in him. Nothing in Russia
is going forward; everything is going
backward. 1t is a land of terror and
oioodshed and dissolution. And il
IN the mind of the Russian prole-
tariat that this Russian condition
shall pervade throughout the world
nder international revolution"
Referring to Mr.. Willet's article,
Mr. Jacob ID. Dean, of Mt. Carmel,
South Carolina, railroad employee
writes to the Chronicle letter that
Editor Layden characterizes as a mas
terpiece and says further more:
1T is humble, heartfelt expert
ence talk by one who has walked
iife's thorny path--to happiness and
intelligence. But he was not afflicted
with the spirit of proletarianism: -
Is some of his less successful fellow
workers were"
Mr.. Dean, referring to men who
began service with the railroad wher
he did, says:
"A spirit of discomfort, a desire tc
rove, too prone to be led away by
very new notion some fellow pre-.
iented to them, finds them now, an
sorry to say, almost past, and past
he meridian of life in just the same
condition they commenced. This j.
written as an admonition from an ole
employee to those that have just com
.nenced in the service-to stick, save
and keep everlastingly at it. Lister

THE MUD OF FLANDERS

A London dispatch says that, on
his return from trip to the front,
Maj. Gen. Maurice, formerly director
OF military operations at the War
Office, was asked by the Associated
Press correspondent what phase of
battlefront activity impressed him
most.
Always the same thing-the
mud" he replied. 1T is the most re-
markable mud in the world. AS an
enemy, it is more persistent than the
Germans and more deadly than his
artillery.
Il had most remarkable object

mud during my week in the battle
area. visited hospital where there
were two of our men who had been
rescued after spending thirty hours
in the grip of Flanders mudhole.
The two men, advancing across No
Mans Land in the semidarkness, had
stumbled into hole, and found them
selves inextricably in the clutches of
the thick mud at the bottom. When
rescued they had been there for thir-
ty hours and had been drawn waist
deep into the clay.
"All sorts of erpedicnts were used
to ertricate them, and it was finally
found necessary to fit harness to
them and pull them out with a team
of mules. Both men had their hips
and knees dislocated in the process.
