LIFT YOUR CORNS \ j
OFF WITH FINGERS |
I How to loosen a tender corn '
or callus so it lifts out -
without pain.
Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone. applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels tip the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from one’s feet
If your druggist hasn’t stocked this
new drug yet, tell 'him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from hif
wholesale drug house.—a<lv.

were fired upon front1 close quarters.
On inquiry Lieutenant Hathbone as
certained that the shots came from a
soldier who had run amuck, and had
posted himself with loaded rifle and
fixed bayonet farther down the trench.
Lieutenant Hathbone borrowed a rifle,
and, accompanied by -Corporal Feld
wick, advanced along the trench until
in view of the mentally deranged man.
They then advanced with rifles at the
ready, the officer calling upon the man
to surrender. -Heceiving no reply, they
then dropped their rifles and rushed
him, and after disarming him took him
to the neai-est dressing station. Cor

| Suffering and German/s Dark
j Outook.
From th© St. Lout i Pest-Dispatch.
While it is true, no doubt, that the unrest in {formally today is
due in a large measure to the privations and sufferings that the peo
ple of the empire have unde* gone since duly, 1911. it. is in reality
the couteirplal ion of the near future which is filling the 1-0:111 try 1
with mutterings from Kinden to Momel. It is a lilac 1; prospect that
Germany is facing, and the meanest peasant knows i? despite the best
efforts of the government’s paid optimists. Here are a few of the
-things that are tending to make the peace without victory idea ex
tremely palatable in the central powers these clog days:
The Russian army is on the. offensive with a great lorn- hanging j
on the brows of the. Carpathians, ready t.o break into Hungary, the
flour barrel of the* Teutonic buncl.
A reorganized Rumanian army, 400,000 strong is on the eve of
plunging forward to retake its occupied wheat fields and oil lauds.
In the rear is an allied force of 500,000 or more with a Greek
army of 200,000 being put into shape for a smash at the Bcrlin-Coa
stantinople life artery.
The United states, with unlimited money, men and food supplies
will soon make its great weight felt. j
Neutral countries who have been feeding Germany with the
crumbs from their ample tables will soon have no crumbs to give
away. I
The British-Franco armies on the western front are hammering
successfully on the western front.
The submarine war, of which so much was expected, lias been
a bitter disappointment to the people. It is steadily decreasing in
effectiveness.
Copper, steel, rubber and other essentials of war are growing
scarcer and the United States is taking action to see that no new
supplies reach Germany.
China and other quasi-neutrals are getting ready to lend effective .
assistance to the allies.
The burden of financing Turkey and Bulgaria is becoming op
pressive.
Thdrc is a growing bitterness in the dual monarchy against Ger
man control that may at any time break out in open revolt.
These are some of the things that the future holds forth for the
German people. The situation is calculated to upset even the stolid,
government owned mind of a Prussian professor.
Bank Loans on Potatoes.
*
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
At the request of the food administration department, the federal
reserve board has classified potatoes as “nonperishable” and per
mitted the rediscounting of paper with warehouse receipts as collateral
by national reserve banks. The member banks will have to determine
on the margin of security, and on the sort of warehousing done. * The
view of the food administrators, accented by the bankers, is this:
Potatoes, properly graded and packed and stored in weather proof
and responsible warehouses would undoubtedly constitute a readily
marketable nonperishable staple, within the meaning of the Regulation,
Nowt it is clear enough to any man who comes from a potato
raising country that the potato is not “nonperishable” in the sense
in which the term is applied to wheat or to cotton, but within time
limits, determined by atmospheric conditions, a bushel of potatoes is
of fixed value in the maintenance of human life.
The effect of the new regulation should be to stimulate the raising
of potatoes. Some economists may doubt whether easy storing with
a cash advance on what is stored will tend to bring down prices to the
consumer. But the facility of holding visible supply may be balanced
by the ease with which government can lay its hands on hoarders, if,
or when, congress enacts the food law. The experiment is interesting.
It goes a bit further than the old Farmers’ alliance, or the people’s
party ever sought to have the government go. Actually, though not
technically, it is the government that does what is ordered by the
federal reserve board, because the whole banking system is upheld
by the United States credit, and is trusted fully as the depository of
government funds.
SOME LESSONS FROM THE WAR.
The American Journal of Public
Health publishes ah article on sanita
Uon and hygiene in the war zone writ
ten by Mr. Saville from English and
French publications. The following
methods and other facts are taken from
this article:
For dry antiseptics the - French use
jhloride of lime (as a deodorant), ferric
sulphate (to prevent fermentation), and
juicklime (to destroy organic matter).
Formalin solutions are used as body
iisinfectants. For field use the only
lislnfectants used are as follows:
Chloride of lime. Put 3 ounces in a
luart of water, then dilute to 10 quarts.
Corrosive sublimate. One quart to
1,000; 30 grains of sea salt to the quart
»f solution adds to the efficiency.
Heavy coal oils in emulsion with
urater 50 to 100 to the 1,000 are deodor
ints especially valuable in urinals.
Bedding and linen are sterilized by
(team.
To sterilize feces and urine use £ per
■ent copper sulphate, 2 to 3 per cent
:resol, or 4 per cent chloride of lime.
Lice are removed from the hair bl
ubbing in equal parts of kerosene and
dive oil. This is left on 24 hours and
hen washed off. Benzine, kerosene,
md 10 per cent acetic acid used singly
ire also effective. ,
Lice in the clothing are removed by
i powder composed'of 2 per cent iodo
iorm, 2 per cent creosote, and 96 per
cent naphthalene. The seams are
smeared by mineral oil, nine parts;
soft soap, five parts; water, ope part.
The care of the feet is of first im
portance. Each regiment has at least
one expert chiropodist. For corns daily
painting with a .solution of 60 grains
of salicylic acid, eight grains of canna
bis indica extract, and one ounce of
flexible colodion is done. After a few
days of this the corn is ready to be re
moved.
All blisters on the feet are pricked
at the end of the day and painted with
tincture or iodine.
Boots large enough to permit the
wearing of two pair of socks are worn.
The pair* of socks next the skin are
.woolen.
Boots are oiled twice a day inside and
out with castor oil or olive oil.
Socks must be clean each morning,
Jf fresh socks cannot be had each day
the used pair must be turned inside out
and aired. *
The British allow one quart of water
for each 7V4 miles marched when the
infantry is on the road. Men on the
march are allowed one gallon of water
a day for drinking purposes; in camp
at least three pints. The water allow
ances for ali purposes when men are in
barracks is 20 gallons.
The simplest method of sterilizing
water is by cooking it into a weak tea.
Sterilization of water by chemicals has
been very satisfactory.

Monopoly on Mission Boxes.
From Answers, London. *
It i» curious how certain trades and oc
cupations remain peculiar to certain
families.
There is one curious occupation, which
employes a large number t men today,
which, is in the hands of the same family
that has been associated with it for many
generations. It is the making of mission
ary boxes.
It might be supposed that any car- j
penter could knock together a suitable i
receptacle for contributions# to mission- ;
ary and other charitable funds, but the J
fact remains that every missionary so
ciety, every church organization, that j
requires a collecting box'goes, as a mat- :
ter of course, to this old established firm j
whose Speciality it is to make such
boxes. . |
It is a thriving business, and one
which has profited rather than suffered
through the war, for the institution of j
flag days and other means of collecting
funds has led to an enormous increase
in the demand for boxes.

For Safety's Sake.
Two brothers who live in an East
Lancashire manufacturing town were
noted for being exceptionally well
served with nasal organs.
One of the ring spinners at the mill
where they worked invited them to a
wedding, and promised to send a cab
for them, says London Tit-llits.
The cab duly arrived, and the two
brothers entered and planted them
selves down, one at each window.
In order to create an impression dur
ing the drive to the wedding, the two
brothers were looking out of the cab,
one on either side, so that the people
could see them.
All went well until the cab came to
a rather narrow‘railway arch, which
our travelers had to pass through. The
cabman looked back to take his ltoar
tngs, and seeing the two brothers’
ncses sticking out of the windows on
either side, shouted:
‘‘I'm them elbows in, please!"
