 Sore Feet

A Cleveland letter carrier, a popular veteran, suffered so greatly from sore feet that periodically he had to lay of and stay in bed until his tired, aching. painfully swollen feet got we'll enough that he could resume his route.
 It happened that among his "cus- toners" was q we'll known pharma- , ceutical manufactory whose chemists had just perfected a balm containing organic iodine (a new scientific dis coyery) and other powerful antiseptic, astTingent, Eerm-killing, healing medic .ation for the relief of sore feet. They decided to test it out wi& their friend, the postman.
 Results were almost miraculous far beyond their fondest hopes. The new balm instant,y soothed, relieved the aches and pains t1c old man had suffered nightly. In a few days all swelling had vanished, corns and call iouses had disappeared. Now he walks lis daily miles with youthful sprite- fulness and perfect comfort!
 This amazing prescription is called McCulloch's Foot Balm It is deli- cately scented and doesn't stain clothes, hose or bed linen. It worked wonders with the old postman. It is ouerenteed to bring YOU relief-or money back! Try it-ToDAY.. At all good drug gistE '

need care in an institution. The total number of invalids is 71,20o. The wounded officer receives an average pension of about $50 a month; the wounded private gets only s1.So.
 And the Central Powers
 The Central Powers, of course. also are paying in manpower and money for the madness of war Take the case of Germany:
 At the end of May, 1929, the latest period for which official fig ures are available, S07.596 wounded German veterans were receiving compensation in one form or an- other.
 disqualification. once the biggest problem faced by the government in connection with the wounded and disabled veterans, is no longer a pressing necessity. At the end of June only eight hospitals and two sanatoriums were being operated by the government, while eight other similar institutions remained under contract to accept former soldiers upon order from the Ministry of Labor.
 Approximately two and half per cent of the annual budget of the Hungarian government is being set aside each year to care for Hun gary's world war invalids, widows and orphans. About s3,456,000 was appropriated for this work.
 According to the national statis- tics bureau. the number of war in valids in the country at present totals 117,10S. all of whom are re- ceiping compensation in one form or another, Virtually three-fourths of these men were disabled through wounds received on the field of battle.
 Distressing facts arc these con- corning the outcome of mankind's savagery.
 But let us return to Dominick Parks, there in that hospital wheel chair. What does he say about 1t?
 "The government has done every thing possible for me. A wound is all in the game. Would I enlist again if there was another war? Sure-if they'd take me-"

URGED
 TRIBUTE 0F QUIET
World Has Forgotten Man Who Conceived TWo-Minute Silence

London. Nov. II UP)-Today the world stands still for two poignant minutes. Its people will spread a wreath of memory over the battle fields of Flanders. Yet only his widow and few friends will re- member the man who, in flash of genius thought of this silent tribute
 He was Edward George Honey an Australian journalist. who died in poverty in England in August, 1922. Only 8 bare mound marks his grave in the tiny cemetery at Northwood. Middlesex., His widow some months ago, was tramping the mountains of south Wales six days a week trying 10 earn a living in the insurance business.
 It is told that Honey suggested the two minutes silence in an article in the London Evening News, May s, 1919. When he was earning liv- ing in Fleet street under the nom de plume Of Jarren Forester
 After referring 10 bonfires stretch ing across England in the manner of the Elizabethans. Honey proceeded. Cannot we spare some fragment of those hours of peace and rejoicing for silent tribute to the mighty dead? Individually, yes, but na- tonally? l ask five little minutes five silent minutes of national re- sion"
 The official rehearsal at which Honey was present showed that five minutes would be too long for great crowds to retain an immobile silent attitude and two minutes then was fixed.
 Two years after his suggestion was adopted Honey fell ill of tuber- culosis and was unable to bear the strain of journalism. His end was hastened by the effects of his war service.
 He never desired to be connected officially with the great silence, ac- graphic description of the last time he saw him.
 "Sitting before the fire" he writes, The was bent and frail although he was only 36 years of age. Each vio- lent fit of coughing racked his body which consumption had reduced to mere shell. He sat there with his overcoat buttoned up to the chin.
 T think the fact that he lived to see his idea adopted gave him in- finite satisfaction"
