HOW GET
RID OF CORNS
Simple, Safe and Reliable Way.
No Pain or Soreness.

Thanks to a new discovery made from
a aJpanese product women will soon be
wearing smaller and prettier shoes than
ever. Corns are to be thing of the
past. A new preparation, called Ict-Mint.
is said to make any corn or callous shrivel
right up and lift off easily. Hard corns,
soft corns or corns between the toes can
be lifted right out root and all after
touch or two of Ice-Mint. It's wonderful.
No pain and rot a bit of soreness while
applying 1t or afterwards. People are
warned to stop cutting and trimming tlieir
corns and avoid the risk of blood poison.
Simply get a few cents worth of Ice-Mint
from your druggist, and from the very
second that it touches that sore, tender
corn, your poor, tired. aching feet will feel
so cool, easy and comfortable that you will
just sigh with relief. Think of it-just a
little touch of that cooling, soothing Ice
mint and real foot joy is yours. 1t is
the real Japanese secret of fine, healthy
little feet and is highly appreciated by
women who wear high heel shoes and men
who have to stand on their feet all day

For Burning Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should
not be applied if good clear skin is
wanted. From any druggist for 35c, or
S1.00 for large size, get bottle of Zemo.
When applied as directed it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching,
and heals skin troubles, also sores,
burns, wounds and chafng. 1t pene-
trates, cleanses and soothes. Zemo is
a clean, dependable and inexpensive,
antiseptic liquid. Try it, as we believe
nothing you have ever used is as effec-
tive and satisfying.

DISCHARGED SOLDIERS REGIS
TRATION.

A bill relating to the recording of
discharge papers of soldiers, sailors
and marines who served in the war
with Germany and have received hon
orable discharges has been passed by
the legislature and is now in effect.
The bill provides that every soldier,
sailor or marine shall mark the word
"shalP') cause to be recorded with
the register of deeds of some COM
munity in this state, in suitable
record book to be provided by the
county, his certificate of discharge
The register will make no charge for
this service. The record of any such
certificate heretofore made is also
legalized. Every honorably discharg-
ed person should at once attend to
this and see that his papers are re-
corded, so that in future years there
will be no chance for argument re-
garding any mans eligibility to any
benefit or pension or other feature
that NAV affect his standing as a SOL
dicr. The experiences of many Civil
war veterans in failing to properly
record their papers should serve az
a warning to the soldier of the pres
ent day and everyone should make
his record clear by having his pap
ers recorded.

LIGHTNING RODS.

Lightning uncontrolled is freak
ish, cuts up antics, vet it is no freak
of nature, and its general record is
quite consistent
The positive electricity of the
clouds and the negative electricity Of
the earth, attract each other. An
equalizing current passes between
the two. Because resisted in its
course this current causes lightning
and fires The problem then is to
offer a ready medium Of transit for
this current. The materials of which
farm buildings are constructed are
poor conductors. so better medium
Of transit or conductor must be pro-
vided for these buildings.
Pure copper cable. weighing not
less than 3 ounces per foot. or gall
vanized iron, weighing not less than
Az ounces per foot, are such con-
ductors.
The rods. unless more than two
ground wires are required, should ex-
tend along diagonally opposite cor
ners of the building and along the
ridge of the roof. but not in close
proximity to interior piping
All exterior metal work on the
building such as roofs, cutters, down
sDOuts, hay carriers. door tracks, etc.
should be carefully connected with
the lightning rod system.
Points Of the same material as the
rods should be placed twenty feet
apart All chimneys, cupolas, dorm
ers. ventilators, silos and other ele-
vatiOns should have separate points
To be effective the grounding must
be to permanent moisture, not less
than 5 to 10 feet deep. Grounding
to underground Waterpipes is good
In shallow soil, copper or steel
ground plates, put down as far as
possible. are helpful The most prev
alent defect of lightning rod systems
is insufficient grounding.
To protect stock, wire fences
should be grounded every twenty
rods.

LIKE A CIRCUS ID RUSSIAN CHILDREN
Ru A..nniatad prs,s

Headquarters on Vaga River, Russia. October 20.--The debarkation of Ameri- can troops at this little town was better than a circus for its population, who treated it as such and spent hours and hours watching the proceedings.
 The town is hilly with big grass-cov- cred cliffs right at the rivers edge, break ing into sort of a natural amphitheatre at the landing place. The townsfolk. partic- ularly the children, came to this amphi- theatre early in the morning and clung until late at night to the coveted places nearest the old paddle steamers and barges from which the Americans de- parked.
 Efforts of husky American engineers to move their wagons up the hills aided, or rather deterred. by Russian horses who couldn't understand the language, brought glee to the dirty pinafored little Russian girls and Iong-trousered, grimy faced, chubby lads, whose ears were tcl<led by strange swear words.
 Entrance to the boats was prohibited. but the kiddies with all the zest of American youngsters sneaking under the tent at circus, stole up the gang blanks and knew the smiling Tanks were only joking when they poked at them with their bayonets.
 This town treated the Americans, and also the Russians and others in the allied contingent, as saviors and deliverers from the bolsheviki. Every time boat load of troops went up the river to the front a great crowd gathered on the cliffs and cheered them, and when the town s own company of Russian soldiers went off to fight the cliff was fairly black with singing cheering throngs.
