Few Drops When Corns Hurt,
 Pain Stops! Corns Lift Out
Don't let corns ache twice! Lift any corn or
 callus off with fngers-Here's magic!

Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or cal lus. Instantly the soreness dis appears and shortly the corn or callus will loosen and can be lifted of with the fingers.
 Freezone doesn't eat out the corns or calluses but shrivels them without any irritation.
 Womenl Keep freezone on your dresser and apply a few drops whenever a corn begins aching. Pain stops, corn goes!

must fight the war to it's logical con elGsion-untl the Wilhelmstrasse is beat en and cries for peace.
 WHAT JOTFRE THOUGHT
 In the beginning. diplomats of the allied nations did not believe that the United States would be required to man the western front They could not inn asine . contingency as a result Of which Germany, opposed by their united strength aided by Ameri San finances, would threaten their destruction.
 As a matter of fact, Marshal Joffre, when in Washington last summer, de- clared that the part of the United States in the war would be that of the rich brother In effect. he declared that all would be well if the United States SUD- piled the allies with money, food and munitions of war, and at the same time. prepared Q force in order that it could defend itself if ever endangered by for eign attack
 FROM SHIPS TO MEN
 At that time the cry of the allies di- rected to American shores was: "Ships. ships and more ships" The allies needed supplies. The United States permitted the allies to extend their fingers into its treasure at will It fed them 1t clothed them. It gave them munitions of war.
 And then the allies asked the United States forlnoral effect, to send to France an cXpeditionary force The United States compiled. That expeditionary force, for moral effect and because of it's intrinsic value in time of great need, Was thrown into actual battle.
 And then the truth flashed home. The allies were in need of men, real men, to relieve their own distress, and hurl back the onrushing Han.
 . The cry is now: Give us man power"
 AMERICA MAKES RESPONSE
 To the present cry the United States is responding just as it responded when the allies asked first, for money and supplies; and, next, for an evpeditionary force.
 There leave Atlantic ports each month for France more than 10000 men. 1t is the present calculation that shipping will be available by the end of the July year to maintain in Europe between 2,00000J and 300O,00O men.
 When that hours arrives, the United States. with the moral assistance of the allies, will be prepared to care for the Hun. America wifi take the place of England and France on the firing line, and England and France will take Amer ica's place as the main supporter behind the lines.
 FINAL VICTORY
 And thus it will happen that the Amer ican army, held at present in contempt by the Kaiser, will be the army which hurls the Germans back into the gates of Berlin.
 England and France are asked by America to hold the Hun in check for one more year. The inc1catons are that England and France will be able to com ply without suffering the disseverance of their lines, or the surrender either of the channel ports or Paris.
 Germany is expected to be on the ag- gressive for several months to come then to suffer permanent check. For several more months, England and France will pelt the enemy in a position from which he cannot retire. And then America, 9,000,000 strong, will ask it's battle-worn allies to step back and let a real man get to the front.
 That is the logical conclusion accord
