cover half million men have been
drawn by the first draft from our
farms. Over 2 100000. 900 mechanics
and farm laborers have been induced
by war industries to leave the farms
and so to the cities. With the world
facing food famine this is a bad sit
uation. We must have, food. Our al
lies and this country must have food.
The question is-how to tap the re-
sources Of this country's nan-power
where it will be most useful.
First. of course, we must differen-
tate between the essential and non
essential workers. In future drafts
into the army this distinction must be
made more simply We must spare
the men who produce ships, ammuni-
ton, food and other necessaries, and
even refuse to let them serve in the
army, insisting that they work in The
essential industries.
1T is mistake to imagine that the
farm worker is not a skilled worker.
Green labor can be used, but it is just
as difficult on the farm as it is in the
machine shop.
1T is possible that we may get! some
new labor by temporarily vacating the

that the tribes resident here before
US found the practical equivalents Of
all the provisions which the inhab-

In the matter of sugar the source
for all the eastern part of this con

maple busted themselves each spring
time in he task OF manufacturing the

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR Germs
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calIuses off with fingers
no pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without a particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is a
compound of ether discovered by a Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of frcezone, which will cost but
a trife, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the
corns or calluses but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freeEone have him order it for you.
