j HOW'S THIS? ; ! CHS LIFT OUT WITH FlNSERS-NDPfilN!

Thanks to a new discovery made from a Japanese product your foot troubles can be quickly ended. Ice-Mint, as this new preparation is called, is said to shrivel up hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes so that they can be lifted out easily with the fingers. It's wonderful. Think of it; only a touch or two of Ice-Mint and real foot-joy is yours. There is not one bit of rain or soreness when applying or afterwards and it doesn't even irritate the skin. If your feet are inclined to swell or puff, or if j'ou have cracked or bleeding toes, it will draw the inflammation right out and quickly heal the sore and tender places. It is the real Japanese secret of fine, healthy, little feet and is greatly appreciated by women who wear iiiKa npei snoes ana hy men who have if sianu on tne'r teet all day. Try it. Just ask in anv drur stnn fnr a small Jar of Ice-Mint and learn for yourself what solid foot comfort really is. There is noining line it. Adv. IS TO HAPPEN TIT? TIMES BXTKEATJ AT STATE CAPITAL. INDIANAPOLIS, June 29. No one seems to know what will happen next in the constitutional convention case. First, Judge Thornton, who decided that women had no right to vote "or the election of delegates to the constitutional convention, said this meant that they had no right to register for that election. Then Attorney General Stansbury gave an opinion that women had a right to register, in spite of the Thornton decision. Next. Judge Thornton any county clerk that permitted women to register for the constitutlonol convention election would be in contempt ef his court. But now Judge Thornton and the registration board of this county have reached an agreement that women may continue to register and. although he says he sticks to his decision, Judgo Thornton says he will not entertain any contempt proceedings in his court In case any one should happen to attempt to hale the women or the county clerks into court. Therefore, registration of women for the special election has been resumed. This means that all county clerks In the state are authorized to resume registration without being in danger of contempt of court. The appeal from Judge Thornton t o the supreme court has been set for hearing on July 10. The Thornton decision does not prevent women from voting at city elections next fall, and they should, therefore, register for that purpose if they wish to vote then. 1CDI1 TO m FLOATING DEBT . NEW YORK, June 29. Though officials are silent concerning future plans of the Sinclair Oil & Refining Company, it is understood that the details now be ing worked out call for an issue of a large block of common stock. This block will probably run between 200,000 to 250,000 shares of no par value and will be offered to stockholders under $40 a share. The original plans are said to have called for a considerably smaller amount of new stock with an under writing price of $40 or better. Since that time the wisdom of an increased amount of cash has been brought home to the directors and In order to make tho market for the stock more satis factory, the underwriting price will probably be below that originally con sidered. The outstanding capital as now con stltuted consists of 970.074 shares without par value. The authorized issue at present is 1.000.000 shares. H. F. Sinclair, president of the Sinclair Oil & Refining Company, who is in Chicago, said: "We are making arrangements to retire the floating indebtedness and provide for development work. The corporation is earning at the rate of $12,000,000 a year. The pipe line to Kansas City will be completed and in operation July 15. This will materially increase earnings. The completion of the pipe line to East Chicago will fur there increase earnings. There is no thought of discontinuing dividends as the outlook for the oil business was ntver brighter. Some t the rumors I have heard are ridiculous." PLYMOUTH PUNS ' CBHTJOO RALLY Gov. Goodrich and Former Secretary Bryan to Speak on July 9. PLYMOUTH. IND.. June 29.

Contractors who figure in the sewer deal are Heiny and Holben, Fred Farr. and the Illinois Improvement and Ballast company, con tractors to the steel trust, who finally landed the sewer Job.

WOLF MARGQV1CH ISJLSO ACCUSED Indiana Harbor Roumanian Leader Brings Grave Charges. An incident growing out of the recent Red Cross war fund solicitation at Indiana Harbor came to a focus Wednesday when John Pete, respected Roumanian leader in the sixth ward air! h member of the soliciting committee, filed an affidavit against Wolf Marcovich and his two sons, Paul and Mike Marcovich, 3716 Cedar street, charging them with assault and battery rnd provoke. The action was filed In Judge Prest's court, Hammond, by deputy Prosecutor W. O. Thomas. Mr. Pete, who was very active and earnest in assisting to boost the war fund, says that he and John Sulski went to Marcovich's place to ask Wolf for a contribution; that this was the third or fourth time that he had been there but had never been able to find Mr. Marcovich in; that Mr. Marcovich refused to make any contribution; that he became angry and called the solicitors vile names; that he said "to h 1 with you, to h 1 with the Red Cross, and to h 1 with the American government"; that after he and Sulski had gone out of the place and were on the sidewalk he was set upon by Mike Marcovich and hit in the face. , Those who know John Pete and his ability to take care of himself under almost any sort of an attack are complimenting him upon his restraint when hit by young Marcovich. The mlow drew blood and had the dispute been over anything but a government matter John would probably have taken matters into his own hands and shown who was the master. As it was he choked his wrath and turned away, believing that the offense ' was too great to be settled by a etreet quarrel. No complaint has been made by Mr. Pete to the federal authorities, .but the story reached the ears of Federal Inspector Bragdon while at East Chicago this morning and It is probable that some action will be taken in regard to what Marcovich is reputed to have said about the American government and the Red Cross. rc T 9 ,
