Soil, prominent physician and sur
geon of that city and who is now an
army surgeon stationed at Fort Casey
with the rank of captain. Up to
about two years ago Mrs. Soil had en-
joyed her life long usual good health,
though never of vigorous strength,
but always active in her social obi
cations and home affairs and exceed
ingly popular amid a large circle of
friends. Within the past couple of
years her health has steadily been
failing and it is now about year ago
that DR.. Soil relinquished his prac-
tice at Monroe and took his wife to
southern California, accompanied by
her mother, Mrs. Fleming and
younger sister, Miss Bessie, where
for a time she seemed to rally and
get better. Later DR.. Soil joined
the medical staff of the United States
army and for the purpose of being
near his wife, secured a station III
the service nearby in California.
About two months ago Mrs. Soil
desired to return to Monroe and was
accordingly taken there. For a
tima she would show improvement
in her general condition, but this
would be followed by relapses. DR..
Soil was transferred to Fort Casey
and made regular and frequent visits
to his wife, directing her treatment
in consultation with DR.. Stockwel].
Too much in commentator Of the
life and character of Mrs. Soil can
not be said. She was remarkable
member of a remarkable family and
many Of the traits that make for
endearment and popularity at home
and in the business and social relations
she may we'll be entitled to central
place in this family group. The
great asscmblage at her funeral and
tha universal sorrow felt because she
has passed away are splendid mani
featations Of her worth and the esteem
in which she was held. Sincere
sympathy is extended to the bereav-
ed husband, parents, the sister and

COAST OF NORWAY IS
 CAREFULLY GUARDED
Claim Its Use by German Submarines For Bases is .ImpossibIe.

An Atlantic Port, Feb 1S.-The coast of Norway is so we'll guarded by gov ernment vessels and coast patrols that it's use by the Germans for submarine bases is impossible, according to Ad- miral Urban J. R. Borresen of the Norwegian navy, retired, who arrived here today on private mission.
 'Our system of protection is such,' ,'' the admiral said, that our coast is even better guarded than is the coast of Great Britain. I have son who is a captain in our navy and he is one of many officers specifically charged with the duty of preserving strict neutrality. In addition to our guard system, the depth of water along the coast would prevent it from being ef- fectually used for U-boat purposes. Ii is impossible for them to hide. out there" #
 Admiral Borresen added that the loss of 700 of their merchant ships and the death of more than $50 Norwegian sailors through submarine depreda- tions had embittered Norwegsans against Germany and their system ot naval warfare.
 Another arrival was Baron Knut Bonde, recently named as first secre- tary to the Swedish legation at Wash ington to succeed Baron Akerhielm.

State Fish and Game Commissions John M. Crampton has left for Wash ington to be present with other game commissioners and men interested in the ifs hand oyster industries in the United State sat a conference with Federal Food Commissioner Herbert Hoover to protest against the pro- posed federal law which will throw open coast and inland waters to any one who wishes to secure fish.
 The federal food regulator proposes to solve the food and high cost prob lems to some extent by thus getting people to eat more fish, and save the meat
 Franklin L. Homan. representing the oyster industry of Rhode Island and two members of the Rhode Island Shell Fish commission, have left the city to be present at the conferences and with them went Secretary Mar shall of the Connecticut Shell Fish commission. All these men with oth- CTS of states of the union propose to exert their influence with MT. Hoover against any such proposed relaxation of the laws governing the crustacean and shell fish industry of their states which have been established by a great deal of agitation, labor and police work
 MT. Crampton said before leaving that Governor Holcomb is in favor of no such lack of regulation of the fish 1 ing industry and his opinion will be communicated to MT. Hoover. Food Commissioner Scoville, of the state does not approve of it. 'If the gov ernment should so allow any one whc secures a federal license. as proposed
 to fish in any stream or coast water of the state" said MT. Crampron, ''the
 Holsters in waters of this state would

TO PLACE FooDsTUFFs UNDER
 PRESIDENTIAL CONTROL
The Object of a Bill Completed by the House Agriculture Committee.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-Specifc au- thority for the control of the manu- fracture and distribution of foodstuffs and of public eating houses would be conferred upon the president by the food conservation bill completed to- day by the house agriculture commit tee.
 Blanket authority asked for by Food Administrator Hoover was withheld, the committee deciding to confine the measure to the features emphasized by MT. Hoover at committee hearings as absolutely essential in the food conservation programme. A minority report is expected.
 By controlling manufacture, the food administration would be able to enforce any rules it might make for
 conserving wheat and other essen tial foodstuffs by the use of substi- tutes. Control of distribution would en- able the administration to relieve possible shortages in. any section by shipping food from other parts of the country.
 l In the hearings before the commit tee Mir. Hoover said it was not de- sired to attempt general rationing, but that rigid control of public eating houses was necessary to avoid waste and also to stimulate conservation in | the ' home. many housewives having knowledge of waste in hotels and res 1 taurants. 1 Housewives and farmers are not af- l fected by the measure.

 GOO pieces of the old blue uniforms, fell to the guardianship of an of-
 ficer who in the interest of the state the nation, and his own records, has shipped it away. Little indeed is | left of the old blue-coated guard.
 Within month, according to Col onel Wise, the guardian, the 1S.009 pieces Of blue uniform and a large quantity of quartermaster, engineer, medical and signal corps supplies, has been shipped to various govern ment depots and arsenals. It was all federal property anyway, he ex- | plained and had been forwarded where

 between the state and nation. It is possible he said, that the old blue uniforms will be worn by the United
 States guards. In any case, he said,

To Use Their Utmost Efforts In the
 Forthcoming Campaign.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo today appealed to Liberty Loan workers in the second federal district to use their utmost efforts in the forthcoming Liberty loan campaign, declaring that upon the speed and efficiency with which you psrform the work committed to you depend the lives of thousands of men and women in the world"
 ''The one thing that impresses me ii this great time and gives me a stimulus and intensity of feeling that cannot describe" wrote N:r. McAdoo in letter to Benjamin Strong, gov efaor of the federal reserve bank of New York. lis the reflection that as we go about our daily tasks here in comparative comfort, men are dying every minute upon those battlefelds in Europe.
 'tThey are shedding their blood with out reservation or hesitation to save US and to save civilization in the world. Our own gallant soldiers are beginning to shed their blood upon the sacred soil of France. Our gall lant sailors are being engulfed in the icy waters of the Atlantic as they go forth in the defense of Americas rights ir the perilous task of ridding the seas of German submarines.
 T want you to reflect today that upon the speed and efficiency with which you perform the work commit ted to you depend the lives of thou sands of men and women in the world because the more efficient America makes herself in this great time, the more quickly she organizes her might and asserts it upon those battle fronts the Ynorp uf1iclelv this war will come to a conclusion the greater the. mum Der of gallant soldiers and sailors who will be saved and the greater the mum Der of stricken civilians who will be brought back to life and happiness again"

!. GIRLS! YOU CAN LIFT THEM OFF Doesn't hurt a bit to lift your sore, touchy corns --4
 right out


 A noted Cincinnati authority dis covered a new ether compound and called it freezone, and a quarter ounce of it now can be had for a few cents at any drug store.
 You simply apply few drops of this magic freezcne upon a tender corn or painful callus and instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or caIlus so loose that you can lift it off with the fingers.
 You feel no pain, not a particle of soreness, either when applying free zone or afterwards, and it doesn't even irritate the skin.
 Hard corns soft corns or corns be- tween the toes, also toughened caI- fuses, just shrivel up and lift off so easy. It is wonderfull It works like a charm. Try it.
 Women should keep it on their dressers and never let a corn ache twice
