Cincinnati man discovers drug that
ioosens eorns 50 they lift out

Local druggists are having a tre-
mendous call for freezone. the drug
which is said to shrivel corn, root
and all, without any pain.
A few drops applied directly upon
a tender. aching corn relieves the
soreness at once. and shortly the en-
tire corn, root and all, lifts right out
with the fingers.
This new drug is being dispensed
at small cost in quarter ounce bottles.
which is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft corn from ones feet. It
Is a sticky substance which dries at
once and does not infiame or even r..
ritate the surrounding tissue or skin.
There Is no excuse for anyone invit-
ing death by infection or lockjaw
from cutting their corns now.-Adv.

SUMMARY OF THE FIRST
[NSTALMENT OF DIARY


Th- arsf part OF Ruth RandalI's
diary wns printed excIusiveIy in
The Washington Times yesterday.
She started the diary ON Dece
Il. 1911. a month and n half after
her marriage to Norman Brown
Randall. The instnImeBt brought
her tragic life story up to Octo-
bcr rs, 1913.
In the very beginning the bride
wrote of her husbands failure to
shower ON her the kisses for
which she hungered.
She described how her soul
wss tortured by her vain struggle
to hold her husbands love.
She also told of how she went
to work TO help support them, as
he had a low-paid job. He was
twcnty-one and she was twenty.
The inst"iment ended with her
expressed yenrninE for mother

man, every woman, and every
boy and girl of an age to understand
it, could read that story,
When one reads her life story one
hears the cries of a heart not evil by
nature. full of generous impulses,
striving to do good. And one sees
that heart crushed and forced into
evil ways by the acts of others. some
blindly well-meaning. some merely
selfish, some with deliberate evil IN
tent.
Every parent should take to heart
the story OF Ruth Randall, Tor II
might be the daughter OF any one of
us who next lis driven along that pain.
when We have better learned the
lessons Of good citizenship and our
duties to each other. we shall nave
fewer such tragedies among girls VINO

Worst Blow.
WHOLE VILLAGE VANISHES

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-. March H.
With fourteen known dead and sew
eral missing. grave fears were held
today that re-establishment Of COM
munication with isolated Ozark points
will add still more names to the
death toll of the tornado which late
Thursday swept the Shepherd OF the
Hills county.
Huge Dam Threatened.
Three were killed at Nevada. where
the force OF the storm was first felt
The full fury of the storm was ap-
parently spent in Turkey Creek val
ley. The little village of Melva was
practically wiped out, and eleven are
known to have lost their lives there,
several Of the dead being children.
a dozen other small villages dotting
the Ozark hills in Turkey Creek valley
were swept by the storm, and it is
from these that 1t is feared belated
reports will bring news OF addi-
tional loss of life.
White river was still rising early
today as a result of the heavy rain
fall accompanying the storm, and a
huge dam at Power site, at which is
located a, biz electric generating
plant, is threatened
A relief train sent out by the Mis-
souri, Pacific brought the injured and
homeless to Branson, the largest Of
three resort points in the shepherd
of the Hills" country. Efforts were
being made to reach isolated points
with motor launches:
Seven Children Dead.
The greatest loss of life resulted
from the wind which swept through
the valley of Turkey Creek in Taney
county, located in the extreme south
western portion Of the State. This
is in the Ozark region.
Three men were killed in Nevada
when the upper walls and the roof Of
an office building were blown over
upon a small shoe shining stand ad-
joining it,.
Seven Of the dead in Taney county
were the small children of Ran and
William Box, brothers, living in the
town of Melva. The wives of both
men also probably were injured ia
tally. Mrs. Alva Howard and child
were killed at Melva. William Jack
soa, who lived near the town of
Branson. is dead and a sister is Sc
riously injured.
John Gross and his wife. who lived
on farm near Oasis, north of Bran
son. were blown away with their
home and no trace has been found of
either the home or it's occupants.
The wind played many pranks. A
work train of eight cars south of
Branson and on which the wives of
six workmen lived, was moved 200
feet down the track and the cars un-
coupled, but no one of the occupants
was hurt.
The dead at Melva are Paul Pier
son, twenty-one; William Bothlow,
twenty-five, and Harry Brewer, TWEEN
ty-three.

Ambassador Jusserand May

ernment Known.
RUM0R GIVEN CREDENCE
Presidents Statement About
MiIitaristic Spirit Is Basis
For Attack.

1t is believed here today that
France has offered some kind of a
protest to the United States against
the charge of militaristic tendencies
contained in the lett Of President
Wilson to Senator Hitchcock bear
ing upon the treaty situation.
Officials of the St-te Department,
when asked if a protest had been
made, refused to discuss the matter.
This was q reversal of the State
Departments attitude of the past
few days, when it was denied that
such a step had been taken.
Attitude Is Different.
This attitude of officials added
strength to the impression that
France had made known her objec-
tions to the Presidents words.
1t is not believed that th- protest
took the form of a mote nor perhaps
even a memorandum. but that French
Ambassador Jusserand called at the
State Department and made known
the official attitude of HE govern
ment.
