THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. JUNE 9. 1917.
Omahans in Cherry Blossom Land.
Ever since story-book days, the
Japanese have seemed one of the most
interesting peopjes on earth and their
habits, customs 'and manners in their
native land most worthy of study.
Whether story books describe them
accurately or not, the tales are won
drously attractive. There seems to
be a world of suggestion in i Jap
anese picture. Perhaps you saw re
cently the exhibition of Japanese
students' paintings in the public li
brary? Didn't that unusual quality
impress you?
Since "war winged its wide desola
tion" in Europe, making travel
across the Atlantic impracticable
Japan has vied with Honolulu and the
Hawaiian Islands as a Mecca for
American travelers. Senator and
Miss Jessie Millard, Miss Jessie Na
son, Mr. and Mrs. Dan McAvoy are
Omahans who have been to Japan
within the year. Mr. and Mrs. Philip
Metr are just returning from their
bridal journey there. Mr. and Mrs.
Lem Hill and Mr. and Mrs. V. H.
Eldridge are there at the present time.
Mr. 0. W. Eldridge of this city has
recently received word that his
mother was thrown from her rickshaw
and injured about tlje shoulder. She
was out for an afternoon ride, when
her coolie stumbled on the way down
a steep hill. The vehicle upset, with
the result that Mrs. Eldridge con
valesced in the Grand , hotel in Yo
kohama for a few days.
The Eldridges are spending eight
months in China and Japan, where
they combine business and pleasure
each year. In connection with the
selection of some, Oriental merchan
dise not long ago, Mrs. Eldridge re
ceived a letter from a Japanese mer
chant which might have given the
author of Hasirhura Togo a month's
respite from his labors. . This was the
letter:
"Mrss. Eldrige,
"Dear Madam,
"We are grad to see you again &
to hear good effect of your ordered
goods last year, and nice order will
repeat. ' ,
"2 days ago Mr. Eldrige came and

"Now wc hand you those sampls,
which price list enclosed herewith,

"At recent day, when Mr. Tamura

and ask order with thank preceed
ingly. "We are, Dear Madame,
"Your's faithfully,

PATRIOTIC ECONOMY
does not mean tha we should cease to buy any
thing but the necessaries of life and be mighty
frugal with even them. The business of a nation
is the life of a nation. Patriotic economy means the
conservation of food products. It may even mean
a demand for government regulation of food and
food prices.
Patriotic economy means the elimination of
waste and Americans need to learn that kind of
economy. But it does NOT mean the cessation of
buying or the withdrawing of money from circula
tion. Those who can afford to spend should con
tinue to spend as their needs require or their de
sires impel.

Stop Corn Pain In Two Minutes
By the Clock Easy and Simple
The magic of Ice-Mint does it. Soreness stops quickly and gradually
the corn loosens and conies out. Try it. Your
feet will feel cool and fine.
Thanks to a new discovery made
from a Japanese product, your
foot troubles can be quickly ended.
Ice-Mint, as this new prepara
tion is called, is said to shrivel up
hard corns, soft corns or corns be
tween the toes so that they can be
lifted out easily with the fingers.
Rub a little on any tender corn
or callous. Instantly the soreness
is relieved and shortly the corn or
callous will loosen so that it can
be lifted right out with the fingers
root and all. No foolishness.
Ice-Mint is a clean, creamy,
snow-white, nonpoisonous sub
stance and does not inflame or
even irritate the most tender skin.
There is no pain, smarting, or
even a bit of soreness while apply
ing Ic-Mint or aftrwafds. It acts
gently, so magically that you will
never want to run the risk of
blood poisoning by cutting a corn
again.
Ask your druggist for, a small
jar of Ice-Mint which will cost
little yet is sufficient to rid One's
feet of every corn or callous.
You'll like it immensely.
