 'sTo help conserve the decreasing supply of wheat four so that more may be sent to Italy and her allies, the food administration has asked 400, 900 dealers in food commodities to pledge themselves to sell no flour ex- cepo where the purchaser buys an equal weight of one or more of the authorized food substitutes.
 The only exception is in the case of whole wheat and graham flour, which may be sold on a basis of five pounds of flour to three pounds Of suh- stitufe. This exception is made sizfe about 25 per cent. more of the Wtegt berry is used in the manufacture tot whole wheat and graham Hours than il. the manufacture of standard wheat flour

The profits to retail dealers in original mil packages should not exceed from $G cent sto s.129 per barrel, depending upon the character of service per formed. Where retailers sell in amounts less than original miE pack ages the gross profit should not ex- ceed one cent pound.

DON'T LET WIFE
 DIE OF LOCKJAW
WARN HER AGAINST CUTTING CoRNS BECAUSE THEY GAN
 BE LIFTED OUT.

Women wear high heels which buckle up their toes and they suffer terribly from corns. Women then pro- eeed to trim these pests, seeking re- lief, but they hardly realize the ter rible danger from infection, says a Cincinnati authority.
 Corns can easily be lifted out with the fingers if you will get from any drug store quarter of an ounce of a drug called freezone. This is sufIi- cient to remove every hard or soft corn or calIus from ones feet. You simply apply a few drops directly up- on the tender, aching corn. The sore ness is relieved at once and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain.
 This is a sticky substance which dries in a moment. It just sfrivels up the corn without infiaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. Cut this out and pin on your wife's dresser.

 terest and enthusiasm in war activi-
 ties.

 against real Germans in most real
 battles. They have genuine war stories to tell that are bound to prove in people as well as to the subjects of Great Britain and Canada The re- cruiting mission will accept enlist ments from all British subjects up to the age Of 55.
 X For eight months the British and Canadian missions have been at work in the United States and they have received applications from 45,g90 men There are 429 British subjects in Nor wich and it is expected that large percentage will be particularly inter estea in attending the rally. ] Besides some stirring speeches from those who have recently returned from | the front in France, there will be an oAC0He1t MublCAl program OI wal songs under the direction of James j Moore.

 As regards pay, etc. the Jewish
 regiment is treated exactly the same
 as British regiment. The men art sent direct to England and then on tt Palestine. Lieut.. Pepier says that i there ever was st brilliant opportu- nifty for the young man t is now, a! Palestine Is practically being mad, over and the opportunities for ad. lvancement are many. There is n, doubt in Lieut.. Pepler's mind but tha even after the war these men will no wish to return to this country as th1. will have established the future arnoni their own set and the chances to worl into the many positions will be some
 thing better than they could ever ac quire here.
