Ohio volunteer in fantry, has told the story of liow he and his comrades went to war in 1SGL According to Private Goodwin’s ac count he and his fellow enlisted men went to war on flat cars, locating them selves as they could amid their wagons and guns, and taking the smoke and cinders and weather as they eafne. The commissioned officers were provided with passenger coaches lighted with one candle each. The regiment, trav eling in this style, reached West Vir ginia just in time to enter the battle of Rich mountain. Private Goodwin’s pay was $8 a month and no provision for the family left behind and no guar anty that his Job would be held open for his return. Even the worst of war traveling in 1916 was luxury compared with the best in 1861.—Buffalo Enquirer. !' .«?*■ ■ I _ ■ : . ~ - - - "__-• ~ - ■ ■*.

WOMEN PREPARING FOR WAR Five hundred women, members ol (he Women’s League for Self Defense, meet regularly in one of the armories ’of New York city and are drilled for military service by army i fficers. One of them is here seen learning the use af the ritle. Increased Use of Milk. That the high cost of living may be reduced by the increased use of milk, a highly nutritious and digestible food. Is the opinion of A. E. Perkins, dairy chemist at the Ohio experiment sta tion. He says that a quart of milk is equal in food value to three-fourths of a pound of beefsteak, eight eggs, 15 pounds of oysters, two pounds of fish, six pounds of tomatoes, or three pounds of apples, and the milk is more easily digested and far more econom ical than many other foods. DECLINED TO BREAK WITH GERMANY Left to right. King llankon of Norway. King Gustav of Sweden and King Christian of Denmark, who held a conference recently in Copenhagen and who have declined to follow America's lead and break off diplomatic relations with Germany because of the "ruthless” submarine warfare. The Scandinavian countries are pledged to act in concert on all questions arising from the war. ONE-MAN SUBMARINE J-1 One-man submarine .1-1, lying In the water at Naples. Cal.

SEVEN YEARS AGO ANO TO-DAY Then He Had 6 Mules, $660 • Cash and Some Equity—Today He Has $20,000 and Owns 2 Sections of Land. The story of the wealth of Western j Canada cannot be told too often; the :rutli will bear rejieatings. And in telling of it it is hoped that advantage will be taken of the great opportuni ties that Western Canada offers by those who are today struggling for a , mere existence, by those who are oc cupying lands, high in price and high in rentals. From grain, live stock and dairying in 1910. there was a return from the three Prairie Provinces of 325S.000.00t*. or an increase of four million dollars over 1915, and US million dollars over 1914. pouuunii hum v■ Miipany says: Some of our contract holders have paid off their purchase money on lands bought a year ago nut of this year’s crop, and what one man can do anoth er can do. Thousands of Southern Al oerta farmers harvested an average of 40 to oO bushels of No. 1 wheat to the acre. These farmers have more real money to spend than any other people on the American Continent. J. D. Johnston of Bladsworth. Sask.. left Johnson County. Kansas, seven years ago When he left he had $660 in cash, six mules, some settler's effects and an equity in some prairie land. Mr. Johnston tells his story: “In my seven years' residence in Saskatchewan. I have raised seven good crops the value of this year's crop alone being Twenty thousand dol lars. I now own Two Sections of im proved land. 17 horses and mules, 40 cattle, a large steam thresher and a full line of farm machinery.” We have made five trips to Kansas, one trip to the Pacific Coast and re turn. We have enjoyed the society of a class of people than whom none oet ter can be found. The climate is healthful and invigorating. The soil is fertile and productive, well adapted for the production of the best quality and large yields of all cereals and vegetables, wild and tame grasses. II is an excellent stock country.” The question of taxes is one that carrier with it considerable weight. Coming from a man like Mr. Johnston the same weight should be given the answer. He says: The tax system especially commends itself to me as being simple, reason able and just. All direct taxes are levied on the land at its appraised market value, exclusive of improve ments thereon. No tax on personal property. This tends to discourage the holding of lands by speculators who prevent its cultivation or improve ment. hoping to realize profits from the enhanced value of their holdings due to the industrial activities of the bona fide settlers. It tends to encourage the settlers to rear substantial improve ments upon their land without paying a penalty in the form of taxation therefor. It encourages the raising of live stock and the possession of other personal property necessary to the de velopment of the country. “The laws are well and economically administered. Citizens of the Domin ion vote on election of members of parliament and members of thp Pro vincial assembly, while on questions of local Improvements and school mat ters the franchise is exercised by rate payers. irrespective of citizenship. The people are enterprising, school facilities are good Taxation, just and reasonable. Military service volun tary. Patriotic fervor unsurpassed, law and order the rule, and crime the rare exception. It is the land of banks, schools, telephones, grain ’le vators. broad, fertile acres, good cli mate. good citizenship and abounding In opportunities for the industrious man or woman of good morals, in short, the land of promise and fulfill ment. I know of no better anywhere. ’ —Advertisement. * Had No Actual Evidence. It is on record that the prince of Orange, filled with rage because he had been beaten at Fleurus. Leuze. Steinkerque, and Nerwinde, said, al luding to the marshal of Luxembourg— “Can it be that I shall never beat that hunchback?" “How does he know that I am a hunchback?” said the French marshal. "He never saw my back; I always saw his!” j WOMEN! IT IS MAGIC! | LIFT OUT ANY CORN l • 4 J f i Apply a few drops then lift J corns or calluses off with i fingers—no pain. Just think! You can lift off any corn or callus without pain or soreness. A Cincinnati man discov ered this ether compound and named it freezone. Any druggist will sell a tiny bot tle of freezone, like here shown, for very little cost. You apply a few drops di rectly upon a tender corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. A Freezone is wonderful. It ■ dries instantly. It doesn’t Beat away the corn or cal | ius, but shrivels it up with I out even irritating the sur | rounding skin. Hard, soft or corns be r i 11 nj tween tne toes, as weu as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain be I fore or afterwards. If your druggist , hasn’t freezone. tell him to order a small bottle for you from his whole sale drug house.—adv. The pure bean cheese of the Orient is made solely from prepared casein curd.
