MESSAGE IS READ 10 CONGRESS

Wants Repeal Only As It Applies However to Bser and Light Wines. flNTERNfTlONAL NEWS SERVICE1 WASHINGTON, May 20. President Wilson today called upon the Sixty-sixth congress to amend or to repeal the war-time prohibition measure insofar as it applies to wines and beers. In his message the first that he has not delivered in person since taking up the reins of the government the president asserted his belief that the demobilization of the army had progressed to such an extent that "it would be entirely safe" to remove the ban upon the manufacture and sale of wines and beers. WOULD DO XT HTTiTSEItf. He plainly Indicated that had he the authority he -would take the necessary action himself; but lacking it, he urged the congress to act. The president also urged: 1. Adoption of the equal suffrage amendment. 2. Certain revision of the tariff laws. 3. Repeal of the so-called luxury taxes and continued high levies on Incomes, excess profits and estates. i. Legislation to safeguard the public interest before the telephone and te'.egrarh systems are turned back to private ownership. 5. Laws to facilitate American enterprise in foreign trade. 6. Assistance for returning soldiers In finding Jobs for which they are fitted. IQNOSBS TOHXICHT QUESTIONS. The message does not touch upon the International situation, but the president promises to address the congress upon these matters on his return. "It would be premature to discuss them or to express a Judgment about them before they are brought to their complete formulation about the agreements 'which are now being sought at the table of the conference," the president asserts. The president's only reference to the League of Nations Is but a passing one. but at the same time it reflects his confidence that the league will be consummated. SEALS WITH LABOR. Dealing with the necessity for national action to bring about an enlightened labor policy, the president observes: "Agencies of International counsel nd suggestion are presently to be created in connection with the League of Nations in this very field: but it Is national action .... that must bring about the actual reforms." Recommending the repeal of the taxes upon retail sales, the president pointed out that they are "unequal in Incidence" on industries and individuals, ind that their collection is difficult and expensive. "While they were Justified by the pressing war time necessities, he observed, "they can scarcely find sufficient justification under the easier circumstances of peace." In urging certain tariff changes, the president points out the close relation that has existed between the manufacturers of dyestuffs on the one hand ind explosives and poisonous gases on the other. He then says: "Although the Vnited States will gladly and unhesitatingly Join in the program of International disarmament. It will nevertheless be a policy of obvius prudence to make certain of the luecessful maintenance of many strong ind well equipped chemical plants. The German chemical Industry, with which he will bo brought into competition, d'gs, and may well be again a thoroughly knit monopoly, capable of exercising I competition of a peculiarly Insidious lad dangerous kind."

This kind of rough talk will be heard less here In town If people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn stops soreness at once, and soon the corn dries up and lifts right out without rain. A delightful surprise awaits all who try this. He says freezone is a sticky substancwhich dries Immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissues or skin. A Quarter of an ounc of freezone which will cost very little at any drug store. Is said to be sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet.
