With your fingers! You can lift off any hard corn, soft corn, or corn between the toes, and the hard skin calluses from bottom of feet. A tiny bottle of “Freeaone” costs little at any drug store; apply a few drops upon the corn or callus. Instantly it stops hurting, then shortly you lift that bothersome corn or callus right off, root and all, without one bit of pain or soreness. Truly 1 No humbug I

Pigs Fooled the Butchers.

Three hundred pigs were on a San Francisco wharf on their way to death, waiting for a scow, when they turned upon their drivers, put them to rout and leaped as one ton of pork Into the bay. Sailors of the merchant marine, out on a boat drill, pursued them in the manner of whale fishers, but the pigs could not be pulled aboard, and they, on the other hand, succeeded in pulling some of the sailors over the side. When last seen the pigs were still swimming out toward the sunset.

HUMAN HEART WORKS HARD

Vital Qrgan of Mankind Can Be Keyer Up to an Energy That —y— is Astounding. It is an astonishing fact that the average heart - beats 36,000.000 strokes every 12 months, working, resting or sleeping. In that period it does work sufficient to fire with their present velocity a dozen of the largest projectiles that were used in the war, or to lift a light cruiser clean out of the water, says London Tit-Bits. If such is the ehergy of a single man’s heart, what is the aggregate force of 3,000,000 men In heartbeats? If It were concentrated into one explosion it would be sufficient to destroy utterly the Kiel canal. Such an explosion, operating in a moment of time, has never been engineered by man, although nature has exceeded it many times in her volcanic energies. To put it another way, the hearts of 3,000,000 men force a river of blood. 900 feet wide and six .feet deep, over a course of seven miles in a single hour, and in the course of a day as far as from Liverpool to Ealnhurgh, and in a week as far as from Paris to Constantinople.

Backyard Pigs.

One town of 2,000 people in Georgia produced 35,000 pounds of pork from pigs raised in back yards during 1918. The production of this meat was stimulated largely by pig club work conducted by the state college of agriculture, In co-operation with the United States department of agriculture.

ORATORY NEVER MERE TALK

Lord Brougham Has Pointed Out the Great Difference That Exists Between the Two. The truth is that a certain proficiency in public speaking may be attained with nearly infallible certainty by any person who chooses to give himself the trouble of frequently trying it, and can harden himself against the pain of frequent failures. Complete self-possession and perfect fluency are thus acquired, almost mechanically. and with little or no reference to the talents of him who becomes possessed of them. If he is a man of no capacity, his speeches will es course be very bad; but though he be a man of genius, they will not be eloquent. A sensible remark or a fine image may frequently occur; but the loose and slovenly and poor diction, the want of art in combining and disposing his ideas, the inability to bring out many of his thoughts, and the utter incompetency to present any of them in the best and most efficient form, will deprive such a speaker of all claims to the character of an orator, and reduce him to the level of an ordinary talker.— Henry Lord Brougham.

At Half Price.

After the ceremony was performed the bridegroom inquired of the parson as to what the fee would be. Whereupon he replied: “Half as much as your wife is worth.” The bridegroom handed him a sealed envelope and left with his bride. After their depatture the minister carefully tore open the envelope. It contained a quarter.

It Is the Easiest Thing in the World to Invest in War Savings Stamps

BY THE WIFE OF A FORMER U. S. ATTORNEY GENERAL

career; but whether the dream is of pleasure or advancement or altruism, the United States government has found a way to make it come true by giving everyone a chance to invest every spare bit of change at interest. No one thinks of running to a savings institution with an extra quarter, nor would he stop to invest a dollar gained unexpectedly by purchasing some article a little cheaper than’ anticipated, but it is the easiest thing in the world to buy a Thrift stamp with the quarter, or four or them with the extra dollar, right at the store where the purchase was made, for Thrift stamps are sold at alj banks and post offices and almost every large store, factory and office in the’ country. And when sixteen Thrift stamps have been acquired they can be exchanged for a War Savings stamp which bears over 4 per cent interest. Thus a little pile of money is accumulated without a person feeling that he is denying himself anything. For a little over SBOO (to take the maximum purchase allowed) collected and ’loaned to the government in this way, five years from now the government will return a thousand dollars. Besides this high rate of interest it must not.be forgotten that gov-ernment-securities offer an absolutely safe investment. As I said above, one has only to know War Savings stamps to buy them. They are the safest, the most convenient and most profitable investment in the country for savings and they afford an opportunity for patriotic action.

Don’t Damn by Faint Praise, but Jump In and Make Ideals Realities

EDITORIAL In “CARRY ON,” Reconstruction Magazine

Efforts have been made to tell every wounded soldier, either in France, on the transport bringing him home, or upon his arrival in this country about the plans of his government to cure him as far as is humanly possible, and then retrain him for a new occupation if this is necessary. Pamphlets by the million have been distributed telling these men of their rights, first in the ‘hospitals, then under the federal board of vocational education act and finally the provisions made for their compensation. In spite of these efforts many of these disabled men are still skeptical; stilb think That the government plans to cheat them out of their pensions; that since they have become permanently disabled fighting for their country this country is simply going to throw them on the scrap heap. These views are due. to an insidious propaganda which consciously or otherwise has been spread around. A one-armed soldier who had just returned from overseas and was in the Greenhut hospital in New York stepped into a drug store while out walking. “Where’s your artificial arm?” asked the druggist. :==sj yet from the government,” replied the soldier. “No, and you never will. That’s all bunk about Uncle Sam giving you a new arm; you better go and buy an Easifit arm for yourself.” Three disabled soldiers were talking tha other day. One of them said: “I rode downtown with a man today in his auto. This fellow said there was so much red tape in Washington that us disabled guys wouldn t ever gef any pensions. He also said we were fools to believe all that ‘bull’ about being retrained for new jobs. Guess he was right. I'm going to get my discharge and go home and try to find a job before they’re all gone.” Every patriotic citizen should stamp out such .propaganda just as thoroughly as they did the Hun propaganda during the'war. The gigantic task which confronted certain departments of the government may have slowed them up in the beginning, but every agency intrusted with this work is now hitting its stride. Our disabled soldiers will be reeducated, will be furnished with the necessary appliances when they are ready for the same, and will be retrained and placed in profitable employment. , It is your government and you have a part in this great work. Don t damn by faint praise but jump in and help make these high ideals realities.

Chicago Is Only One of Many; Every Big City Has Thousands of Offenders

Recently thousands of of purple phlox were carried away. The uprooted plants, withered and torn, scattered the roads for miles where motorists had thrown them away because they had faded, and the floors of railway cars were littered with dead violets, crabapple bloom and phlox. The savage instinct for grabbing thousands of phlox, trilliums and frail flowers of spring is kindred tp the same passion that devastated Belgium. It is destructive. The Friends of Our Nati< Landscape. the Wild Flower Preservation society, the Audubon society, the Prairie dub, Geographic society, Nature dub, many teachers in schools and flower iovers everywhere are trying to educate children to enjoy flowers and birds uid not to destroy them. «

If anyone is not accumulating a stock of War Savings stamps surely that person is not acquainted with all the advantages that W. S. S. hold for their owner. Without exception every person knows something he wishes to have which takes a sum of money he cannot well afford to spend. In thcase of adults it is often a trip they would like to take, the purchase of a piano, a collection of books, or some special educational course, or it may be funds for some philanthropic project. Tn the case of youth it is more often the opportunity to go to college or train for a favorite

Straw Hat Season.

The exact date upon which a man may appear each year wearing a straw hat has ever been the subject of controversy and considerable personal daring. Generally in the Pacific coast states the early days of May bring out a few’ of the summery headpieces, but Alaska —popularly believed to be a frigid zone the year round —this year set the record, it is thought, in the wearing of the first straw hat. On April 26, considerably before straws appeared in Seattle, Road Commissioner Robert Sheldon started the straw brigade.
