Mr.. CROSBY FORGOT!
His Act of Charity Ruined by a Lapse
of Memory.

Friends of E. H. Crosby are telling
this one "on'' the prominent Topeka
merchant:
The other morning Crosby, despite
the snappy wind and low temperature,
decided to walk from his home to his
store. On his way he noticed a. small
girl. Her clothes were ragged and
thin, her nose pink and her ears were
almost blue. 1t did not take a second
glance to see that she was Shiver1ng
and uncomfortable.
Crosby stopped the child Aren't
you cold ?" he asked. The little girl
admitted that she was. Crosby took
her along to his store. There he took
her around to the different depart
ments. counters and floors and fitted
her out with a new dress, warm coat,
a snug cap and mittens. Then he sent
forgot about her.
Along about IL o'clock he felt a
tug at his coat He recognized the
girl standing beside his desk.
well, little GIRL he smiled, you
look nice and warm. Are your" Then
Crosby suddenly suspected that a
mother with more pride than anything
else had sent the child back to the
store to refuse charity" He won
dered how much tact and diplomacy
might be necessary to persuade the
mother that the child needed the
clothes.
"Oh my yes'' said the girl, I'm nice
and warm all right. but mamma sent
me back to get the green stamps"

DON'T LET WIFE
DIE OF. L0CKJAW
Warn her against cutting corns
because thew can be
lifted out.

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then pro-
coed 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 suffi-
cient remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. You
simply apply a few drops of freezone
directly upon the tender, aching corn.
The soreness 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 1t just scrivels up
the corn without inflaming or even ir-
ritating the Surrounding tissue or skin.

Maj. Gen. William NJ. Wright has

for the men were not learning any

break rock in the Indictment weather

So Monday a set of new rules were
posted, and when the news is spread

all its popularity. The rules follow:

of food or candy will be permitted.
The men will drill from 1880

on the house military affairs commit

mo thought of an early peace can
be allowed to cut down Americas war
preparations" said Kahn today. They
must be on an immense scale, for it is
our hope that the immensely of these
preparations itself will hasten peace.
This war is as much a war of morale
as of men and the critical year of the
war is at hand, as President Wilson
said.

should have the psychological effect
of bringing the German leaders to
terms. but if it fails, we will be much
better prepared to fight to the end.
"A slackening up in the war work,
so easy to come from the reports of
German rcvolts, or in any way cutting
down the war program would be
most fatal mistake at this time. 1t
can mean nothing but lengthening the
war"
For Universal Training.
To help drive home to Germany the
realization that the United States is
throwing all it's resources into the
fight and will fight to the end. Kahn
not only favors registering for the
draft all who have become Il since
the date of the first registration, but
also training the young men from Is
to 81, so that they will be able to take
their places in the army when they
become of age Likewise, he favo.s
listing the men above the draft age to
As to be used in Industrial work so
the government by an order can eff

war work.
Kahn is not dissatisfied with the
record of the war department and he
believes the war machine is rapidly
developing speed and much greater
efficiency But he is particularly
anxious that the whole program be
gradually increased and that peace
rumors shall not act as a brake on
the work.
Appropriation To Be Largest Ever.
The military appropriations bill,
which will carry more for any division
of the government than any bill ever
reported, is fast being completed.
Hearings will be completed early this
week, Chairman Dent says, and the
little difficulty in reaching agreement
over the various items is expected Tor
the committee is determined that any
future delay in the war work shall
not be charged up to any insufficient
