ASSOCIATED Press. }


MOSCOW, Tuesday, April Rus
STA will form an army of 100000
men, not inferior in power and equip
ment to the Germans and Japanese,
M. Podyoisky, assistant secretary of
war, declared today at conference
in Moscow Of the various military de-
partment heads. This would be the
first step in arming the whole Rus
sian nation. He said the army or
ganization was impossible without
the old officers and outlined meas
ure to enlist the services of all gen.
erals and publish their names, giving
to citizens the right to state objec-
tions to anyone.
NJ. Podvoisky reported progress in
enlistments for the Red Army, which
was satisfactory in some places,

ARTFUL DODGER
HAS NO CHANCE
Put a few drops on that old
touchy corn then lift it
out without pain

Ouch ! ? This kind of
rough talk will be heard less here in
town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
a few drops of drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching corn
stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn dries up and lifts right out with
out pain. A delightful surprise awaits
all who try this.
He says freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries Immediately and
never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding tissues or skin. A quar-
ter of an ounce Of freeEOne which will
cost very little at any drug store, is
said to be sufficient to remove every
had or soft corn or callus from ones
feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement
since the Inauguration of the high
heels.-Adv.
