Yon say to tho drug store man,
"Giro mo a small bottlo of freezone."
This will cost very llttlo but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ono's feet
A few drops of this new ether com
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves tho soreness In
stantly, and soon tho entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with tho Angers.
This now way to rid ono's feet of
corns was Introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
a moment, nnd simply shrivels up tho
corn or callus without Irritating tht
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesnio drug house for you. adv.

Feed the Fighters! Win the War!!
Harvest the Crops Save the Yields
On the battle fields of France and Flanders, the United States boys and the
Canadian boys are fighting side by side to win for the World the freedom that Prus
danism would destroy. While doing this they must be fed and every ounce of
muscle that can be requisitioned must go into use to save this year's crop. A short
harvest period requires the combined forces of the two countries in team work, such
aa the soldier boys in France and Flanders are demonstrating.

FIERCEST FIGHTING OF WAR
Russia's Military, Economic and Po
litical Troubles Are Disturbing
Pope's Peace Proposals Discussed
President Wilson Regulates
the Prices of Coal
In America.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Civilians far from the scat of war
wondered why the allies did not deliver
their smashing blows ut the kaiser at
the same time, giving liliti no oppor
tunity to shift his troops from ono
front to another, Instead of taking
turns In hitting htm. That Is Just what
they did last week, for British, French
and Italians all began offensives thut
developed Into the most furious bat
tles of the war so far. The Anglo
French forces ueurUho Belgian coast
vigorously renewed .Jhe attacks begun
the previous week and pushed forward.
The British hurled themselves against
the defenses of Lens nnd forced their
way further Into tho outskirts of that
coal center, repulsing all counter-attacks.
General Petaln's men attacked
along tho Chemln des Dames, and then
delivered a series of smashes at tho
Germans In tho Verdun sector, taSlng
the twin summits of Dead Man's hill
and other strong positions that the
crown prince had held for a year and
more. In Alsace there was lively fight
ing. At tho samo time the Italians
were carrying on a monster offensive
against the Austrlans along the entire
Julian, Isonzo and Carso fronts, from
Piava to the sea. The Austrian defen
ses were leveled by a terrific artillery
fire, new crossings of the Isonzo were
forced, and Cadrona's troops advanced
considerably on their way to Trieste
despite the difficulties of the terrain.
Wednesday tho British again at
tacked fiercely in the Ypres region and
after a bloody combat succeeded in
taking Important positions along tho
Ypres-Menln road. A little further
north, In tho blood-soaked Langemarck
Frezenberg sector, they hit the enemy
hard In an effort to take the ridge,
known as Hill 85, where the Irish mndo
a gallant but losing fight the week be
fore. Germans Resist Stoutly.
The Germans have massed Immense
numbers of troops at the points of at
tack and are resisting desperately uud
making almost continuous counter-attacks,
but up to the time of writing
they had been unable to regain any of
the lost ground.
All the allied armies took grent num
bers of prisoners and guns nnd Inflict
ed terrible losses on their hard-fighting
opponents, and they themselves
lost many men, for the attacks were
delivered with rather less than tho
usual regard for life. In Flanders and
France tho tanks played a large part,
and on all fronts the aviators were ex
traordinarily active and bold. The Ital
ians Introduced one novelty. When
their assaulting troops moved forward
they were preceded by a squadron of
airplanes forming the first line and
vslng their machine guns on the Aus
trlans at short range.
General Pershing and other Ameri
can officers were present at the new
battle of Verdun.
Disturbing News From Russia.
The week's news from Russia was
rather disquieting. Petrograd present
ed to America and tho entente allies a
statement Indicating that Ilussla would
be unable to continue In the war un
less Immediate, adequate and continu
ing assistance were given. She has no
Intention of making separate peace,
bat says she cannot keep up tho fight
unless her associates furnish her at
oace with materials and provisions.
T Russians fear they will be driven
out of Moldavia within three weeks,
and lust Monday the Germans began
an offensive In the Hlgu region thut
forced the Slavs back toward that ctty.
At the south end of the line the Rou
manians still ure making valiant efforts
to hold back the Invaders. There Is
no longer any doubt of the bravery of
the Russians or of their desire to keep
on fighting the common enemy of the
world, but It seems that they cannot by
themselves surmount the great eco
nomic obstacles that confront them.
The governmental troubles of Rus
sia also are approaching a crisis. Tho
"extraordinary national council" being
about to meet In Moscow, the constitu
tional Democrats, discontented busi
ness men nnd dismissed generals, gath
ered there ready to demand radical
changes. On the other side stand tho
cabinet and the Soclullst left. In pre
liminary discussions Prince Trou
betskol, Generals Aloxien and Brus
slloff nnd others attacked tho cabinet,
excepting only Kerensky, nnd declared
tho government had fallen Into tho
hands of corrupt men of Petrograd,
who think only of their own Inter
ests. The Soclullst orders that de
stroyed discipline In tho army wero
bitterly criticized.
As had been foreseen, tho pope's
peace proposals wero received decently
by all the belligerent nations, but with
more than an undercurrent of skepti
cism by the nllles. No definite reply
to them has been made at this writing
by any government, but representative
speakers of the different parties in Ger
many all Indorsed In general tho Vati
can plan, and It Is believed Berlin may
go so far as to offer autonomy to Alsace-Lorraine,
which of course would
not in any degree sntlsfy France. Aus
tria, too, as was expected, approves tho
proposals, but Insists uny settlement
must Include the abandonment of
Great Britain's naval bases at Gibral
tar, Malta and the Suez canal. Can
one Imagine Great Britain willingly dis
mantling theso guardian posts of tho
route to her Immense domains In tho
Orient? The vociferous assertions of
the German press that the pope's pro
posals were not Inspired by Germany,
and the Intimations that they really
were due to British suggestions can
only be considered as more "bunk" and
serve to confirm the suspicion that the
plan had Its Inspiration In Teutonic
sources.
German Poison Gas In America.
The poison gases emitted by the pro
German press and all the other traitor
ous agencies In America are not grow
ing noticeably less In amount of viru
lence, but Uncle Sam Is beginning to
apply the antidote with considerable
vigor. In many cities "soap box" or
ators aro being gathered In by federal
agents and several moro rabid papers
have been denied tho uso of tho malls.
Tho German-American press of tho
largo cities Is still too clever to sub
ject Itself to that penalty, but if It
keeps on Its present course1 doubtless
some means will be found to suppress
It Regretfully It must be said thut a
disgracefully large proportion of the
Germans In America naturalized or
not Is proving disloyal to tho land of
their adoption. This Is shown by such
Instances as the annuul picnic of the
Schwabenvereln in Chicago, where for
several days tho assembled Germans
occupied themselves In denouncing
America's entry Into the war, abusing
tho president, sneering at our armed
forces and muklng fun of tho draft and
the National army. The same thing
Is going on all over the land, where
Teutons get together, but they are pre
paring to reap a harvest of woe for
themselves, for the men of the depart
ment of Justice are cognizant of their
words and acts. It Is comforting to
believe that the grent mass of German
Americans aro truly loyal, but thou
sands of the more Ignorant are led Into
disloyalty by the falsehoods of German
secret agents and by the utterances
of the La Follcttes, the Reeds, tho
Masons and tho William Hale Thomp
sons for whom all native-born Ameri
cans blush.
Former Ambassador Gerard, Secre
tary of Commerce Redllcld, and other
prominent men found opportunity Inst
week to denounco bitterly tho coward
ly, treucherous pro-Germans and pusl
lanlmous pacifists, who are doing all
they can to muke the world unsafe for
democracy.
The threat of the I. W. W. to tie up
the Industries of tho West, Including
tho harvest, If their leaders were not
released was met promptly by the ar
rest of a lot more of tho gang, nnd tho
great strike fizzled out miserably. No
sooner was this trd'ublo passed than thu
machinists nnd bollcrmnkers, employed
In the Atlantic const shipyards, were
called on to quit. This of course would
put a stop to vast amounts of govern
ment naval work, and the United
States mediators got busy at once. Sev
eral thousand men stopped work, but
most of them either pledged Secretory
Daniels that they would not quit, or
delayed action until n vote could bo
taken.
President Cuts Coal Prices.
Having started Mr. Hoover well on
the food conservation campaign, Pres
ident Wilson last week turned to tho
nlmost equally pressing coal problem,
which for several weeks had been ex
ercising the wits of various state ad
ministrations. Having studied tho pro
duction cost figures supplied him by
the trade commission, the president Is
sued nn executive order fixing a tenta
tive scale of prices for bituminous coul
at the mines In nearly all coal produc
ing districts of tho country. These
prices in somo Instances are more than
$1 n ton below tho voluntary prices
fixed at the conference last June. Tho
scale Is subject to change when a meth
od of administering tho fuel supplies
of the country has been determined
and put Into operation.
Later In tho week tho president
nnmed Dr. Hurry Garfield fuel admin
istrator, fixed anthracite prices for
producers and Jobbers and set a limit
on profits to be made by bituminous
wholesalers.
The senato spent most of tho week
In consideration of the revenue bill.
Among other tilings It Increased the
finance committee's Incomo tax pro
visions by a total return to tho treas
ury of $73,000,000, adopting unanimous
ly tho Gerry amendment, which adds
$40,000,000 to tho returns from in.
comes of half a million and over.
Japan's Mission In Washington.
Tho Imperial Japanese mission was
formally received In Washington by
Secretary Lansing and other govern
ment officials on Wednesday. Its head,
Viscount Ishlt, mado it clear that tire
mission has come not on a commercial
or political errand, but to decide on
how the two nations can best co-operate,
In both a military nnd an eco
nomic sense, In carrying on tho war.
The neutral countries of Europe so
called, though no conntry there Is any
longer really neutral are still trying
to get around tho American embargo
that is so painful to their pockctbooks
and their stomachs; but tho Indica
tions aro that unless they quit supply
lng Germany with foodstuffs, their suf
fering will only Increase. Switzerland
and Holland, which depend on Ger
many for coal, havo contracted to lend
tho kaiser large sums In return for tho
privilege of continuing to buy their fuel
from his country.
Hungary took a real step toward
democratization and freedom from Ger
man and Austrian Influence In tho ap
pointment of Dr. Alexander Wckerle
as Hungarian premier, to succeed' Es
terhazy. Tho new premier Is popular,
Democratic, a financial genius and Is
known to bo no friend of Germany.
The new nationalist movement In Hun
gary has attained great strength, and It
Is said King Charles Is In complete har
mony with tho desires of the nation.
German aviators dloUnguIshed them
selves last week by another raid on
English coast towns In which 11 per
sons were killed, and by deliberately
bombing two French hospitals behind
the Verdun lines and then shooting
down tho doctors and nurses, who were
trying to rescue the wounded soldiers
from tho resulting conflagration. It
would seem that the chivalry of avi
ators is one-sided.
