These reflections were induced last Sat

notion to call at the camp exchange to
see how things were going. And mere is
what he found:

two hands could manipulate them, There
was no NOISE OF colAusAoAt. psN snS 49,
slant activity was nerve-racking.
Hello "Waiting?'' Line is pusy!

These and many other sofl-yoced ex-
presslons were heard from the four young
women.
The camp exchange is housed near

switchboard and instead of the light sys-
tenn which prevails in the city, the phones
are operated by the magnetic system,
necessitating the ringing OF the operator
every time call is desired.
Fully $500 calls are handled daily and
many of these are long distance calls.
There are nine operators attached to the
building, one of whom is ON at night.

and many visits were made to Au-
gusta for candies. oranges, apples and
an array of gifts that surprised and

and the men speak of the building god
mother in terms Of the highest praise
and affection
In planning these features for the
entertainment and happiness of the

Sure! High Heels
Cause Corns But
Who Cares Now

Because style DEGREES that wom-
en- crowd and buckles up their ten
der toes in high heel footwear
they suffer from corns, then they
cut and trim at these painful pests
which merely makes the corn grow
hard. This suicidal habit may
cause lockjaw and women are
warned to stop 1t.
A few drops Of a drug called
freezone applied directly upon a
sore corn gives quick relief and
soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts out without pain. Ask the
drug store man for quarter Of an
ounce of freezone, which costs
very little but Is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet.
This drug Is an ether compound
and dries in q moment and simply
shrivels up the corn without In
