Colonel Green Is to Wed CHICAGO, July 10. Edward H. R. Green of New York and Terrell, Texas, son of the late Mrs. Hetty Green, and Miss Mabel E. Harlow, of Highland Park, a suburb, are to be married today, the announcement being made by Mrs. George H. Campbell, aunt of the bride. At the offices of the county clerk of Lake county, Mr. Green made the following answers in filling out the application for a marriage license: "Edward H. R. Green, Terrel, Kaufman county, Texas; aged 43. Miss Mabel E. Harlow, Highland Park, Lake county. Ills.; aged 47 years." Miss Harlow is said to be wealthy in her own right and has devoted much time to charities both In Chi cago and New York. Colonel Green, who shares the $100,000,000 estate left by his mother with his sister, Mrs. Matthew Astor Wilts, said he was marrying for something millions cannot buy "a real home." Colonel Green, who said he had been perhaps the "mo6t proposed to man in the world, and who declared that the newspapers had caused him to receive 9,000 letters of proposal in the past fifteen years, showed a hu man and democratic side in discussing his marriage. "I am marrying the best and most sensible little lady in the world," he said. "I am marrying a quiet little lady to whom I can go when I am burdened with the troubles of the world; I am marrying for a real home. I want to say right now that I am not marrying a society bud. I am marrying a truly sensible woman. I do not know who is going to be the boss. All I can say is that I am going to try to be." The Forum (All articles for this column must not exoeed 800 words. Contributors must sign their names, although the name will be withheld by the management at the request of the writer. Articles having no name attached will be thrown into the waste basket.) To the Editor of the Palladium: Does the part of a woman registering to vote lay her liable to a poll tax, while if she does not register she is not liable to a poll tax? I. H. D. Women do not have to pay a poll tax. The fact that they have registered or intend to vote has nothing to do with the paying of the tax. Asccordlng to the Indiana statute, every man between the ages of 21 and 50, inclusive, must pay what is known as a poll tax, whether he votes or not. This statute does not say anything about women voting or paying a tax. A bill was presented to the Indiana General Assembly at its last session which would require women to pay a poll tax, but it did not become a law. ACKERMAN TO SAIL FOR - MEXICO CITY THIS WEEK Word has been received here that Carl Ackerman will sail the latter part of this week for Mexico City..

AMERICANS HAY CAPTURE MANY BRITISH HEARTS

English Paper Sees Yankee Fighting Men Marrying Girls Over There. LIVERPOOL, July ; 10. Speculating editorially, on whether the men of the American army will marry English wives to any appreciable extent, The Liverpool Post says: "Will American men marry here? We wonder if the coming of the American army will have any effect upon the matrimonial prospects of our girls. For some reason, the men of the New World have hitherto never shown any great eagerness to' take brides from the Old, and even the theory that this is because it has not been the way of the American man to cross the Atlantic, though It is consoling to our national vanity, does not work. "For it is noticeable that the Canadians, who have abounded in Cur midst the past three years, are not nearly as fondv of marrying into this country as are, for example. Australians. "Few of the young men from Australia seem o want to return home without English brides, but the Canadians either are married when they come or show a disposition to remain single. "Still, there is no need for the girls to despair yet, and if some of them do spend their lives in the United States we shall be surprised. Certainly it will not be their fault, as they show a most amiable desire to like an? of the American naval and military and medical men they have seen, although in some ways the fellow citizens of President Wilson are so curiously un like our own men." SLEUTHS ON TRIAL IN ORUGER HEARING NEW YORK, July 10.

Published report setting September 15 as the date of the next Liberty Loan and the amount as three billion dollars drew a formal denial from Secretary McAdoo. WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER PARE A CORN If you are troubled with corns or calluses, do not run the risk of blood poison by paring them. Statistics 6how that many deaths have occurred from this seemingly Innocent practice of paring corns. Simply go to your druggist apd get a few cents worth of Ice-Mine,s rub a little on any painful corn or callus. Immediately the pain will disappear and in a short time the corn or callus will loosen and lift off easily with the fingers root and all leaving the surrounding skin in a healthy, normal condition. This, together with the fact that IceMint overcomes such affections as sore, tired, aching, puffed or burning feet and makes them cool, easy and comfortable, is probably responsible for the hearty endorsement given it by druggists. To rid one's feet of every hard corn, soft corn, corn between the toes or painful calluses in such a pleasant and safe way, makes It seenf the helghth of folly for anyone to pare a corn, and people are warned to stop IL Adv.
