Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will cost but a trifle, but Is sufficient to rid one's feet of ev ery com or callous. I'm a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callous. In stantly the soreness disappears and shortly I he corn or callous will loosen and can be lifted off with the fingers. This drug freezono doesn't eat out the corns or callouses but shrivels them without oven irritating the sur rounding skin. Just think! No pain at all; no sore ness or smarting when applying it or afterwards. If your druggist don't have freezone have him order it for you. Adv.

APPLY AT ANY POST OFFICE for SERVICE UNDER THIS EMBLEM Man who wear this emblem are U.S. MARINES In food production per acre, corn excels all other staple crops. In pounds of protein produced per acre it is exceeded only by soy beans and beans, says the United States department of agriculture. The great stock feeding and dairy Industries of the country are based largely upon the corn crop, as are also Important manufacturing Industries, such as starch, glucose, corn oil, and related products, various food products, and alcoholic beverages. Corn Is the greut feed crop of the nation. Fed with legumes and grasses ft Is unequaled as an economical raw material for the production of meat, and butter. Because Its high starch and oil content makes It primarily a fat producing feed, corn is of almost inestimable value in finishing stock for market. The remarkable development of the pork Industry in this country has been due to the high feed value and abundant yields of the corn crop. Of all types of stock feeding, the pork industry is associated most closely with the corn crop. Of the 85 per cent of the crop consumed on the farm, all except a small percentage milled for human food Is used for stock feeding. The extent of the dependence of the feeding Industry upon the corn yields Is indicated by the fulrly consistent relationship maintained between corn and live-stock prices. By far the greater port of the corn used In feeding is fed as ear com, with the dry stalks and blades used as roughage, either as pasturage in the field or as cut stover, To a less extent the grain is fed in the form of shelled corn, milled products, und various manufactured feedstuffs. Another form In which corn Is largely fed Is silage. Silage, at present, Is of more Importance to the dulry Industry than to the stock-feeding Industry, but its use In fattening steers Is Increasing rapidly. Its most extensive use is found in the sections where dairying is a leading type of farming. While the silo has become a more or less familiar sight to almost every section where corn Is grown, It Is used most extensively In Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, New York, and New England, It Is used also largely In other states of the corn belt and In the central Eastern states. Among the common cornmeal dishes eaten In the South are hoe-cake, a mixture of cornmeal and water with or without salt, cooked in a frying pan or griddle; corn bread or pone, made with the addition of baking powder or Its equivalent and baked In the oven; griddle cakes, prepared from a thin batter with the addition of a leuveulng agent; egg or spoon bread, differing from ordinary corn bread In that eggs are used; and com dumplings, usually cooked with either meat or vegetables. Cornmeal is used In puddings, wat tles, poultry dressing, meat, and fish dishes. In the North, where corn products are consumed to a less extent, the preference Is usually given to meal made from yellow corn, r.lthough the so called hominy (grits) made from white corn Is a common breakfast cereal. Hasty pudding (corn mush) and Johnny cake (corresponding to the hoe cake of the South) have been made In New England households since colonial days. Indian pudding, a populur dessert prepared from cornmeal, milk, and eggs, has long been regarded as one of the necessary adjuncts to the New Engluud Thanksgiving dinner. Other forms In which corn Is consumed are grits, consisting of the" hard portions of the kernels, but not milled so finely as meal, eaten as a breakfust cereal or as a side dish with meats ; hominy, the snme as grits but milled more coarsely; and lye hominy, or hulled corn, prepured from the whole grain after removal of the hull with caustic soda. The latter products are usually eaten as dinner dishes and serve largely to replace vegetables. Aside from its direct uses for stock food and for human food, corn Is the raw material from which numerous products are manufactured. These prod ucts Include articles both suitable and not suitable for food purposes. Baseball "Aces" Magnets When En Route and Help to Keep Turnstile Spinning The ball club that bus to worry along without a playing "ace" Is a hack num ber us a drawing card on the road.

Owners of hack yards In cities and towns are asked to do everything in their power to help the meat and egg supply by raising small flocks of poul try In bnck yards. Farmers are re quested greatly to increase their farm uncus or hens so that 100 on every farm will be the average for the na tion. The following statement regarding the poultry needs Is taken from the otlicial agricultural program for 1018 Issued recently by the United States department of agriculture: "Poultry production should be in creased greatly, especially In bnck yards and on farms, where waste ma terial Is available and the purchase of expensive grains and other material Is not required. "Increased poultry production may be attained most economically by early hatching; by confining mother hens at least ten days after the chicks are batched ; by reducing losses on ac- count of rats, weasels and thieves, and i from cold, damp conditions; by thor I OUgh sanitation; by discouraging the j marketing of early-hatched pullets as I broilers; by eliminating non-producing hens and keeping good layers through at least two laying seasons ; and by I the poultryman raising his own feed I as far as possible."

The "aces" are the biggest assets the magnates can beast of, and If you will lamp the rosters of the sixteen major league clubs you will Had at least one player on nearly every roster who fig ures as the real drawing card of the team on the road. Tyrus Raymond Cobb is the greatest drawing card In the business. He Is worth more to Detroit on the road than all tile rest of her players put together, for the fans In rival towns go out large ly to sec Cobb, unless the Tigers are up there tight lag for a pennant, and the rablds In small towns within easy riding distance of the big league cities never miss a chance to he on the Job when Cobb Is billed to cavort ut the hall park. So Cobb alone Is worth thousands of dollars to Detroit at the turnsttles In the course of a season. Foch's Name Not Teutonic; Almost Rhymes With "Hush" Numerous Inquiries have been re elved regarding the correct pronuncia tion of the name of the new geueralls- liuo of the allied armies. On paper Koch seems Teutonic, savs the Chicago Herald, and suggests throaty gutturals of the kind that are 10 longer popular in the civilized world. Hut tlie name Is pronounced is if it were spelled Posh, with u short "o," like "uh." and almost rhymes with "hush." Tills Is on the authority of I.e Coulter des Etats Cuts, a French dally newspaper published In New York. General Foch is a Basque from the Pyrenees, not an Alsatian.

Sudden Retreat of an Army Is Often Reduced to Chaos And the Resultant Disorder "Moving a great army Is an affair of time-tables. There Is room for only a certain amount of men and mate rial on tin? roads and railways at one time, and every man and every wagon above that maximum becomes a factor of confusion and retards the movement of the whole mass to a dangerous degree," writes O. Ward Price in the Century. "The sudden retreat of an army Is often reduced to chaos, first, because a thoroughly worked out plan of general retirement exists but rarely In the stroug-boxes of any general stuff, and, secondly, because lu the absence of a time-table drawn up in detail and strictly en forced, the elementary principle .of self-preservation leads every uult of the army to put itself on the road just as quickly as It can get trans portation.

"The artillery officer firmly resolves that he will save his guns at all costs ; the heads of the supply depart ments are in charge of valuable stores which their army needs for Its very existence and which would be of great aid to the enemy If captured, and the troop leader naturally argues that It would be futile to allow his men to be cut off when a general retreat has been ordered. So If the organization of withdrawal Is left to the discre tion of the people Involved in it, as It has to be when the whole thing has not been deliberately arranged before hand, confusion is almost inevitable." Take Tip From Old Mother Nature When in Doubt About Time to Plant Your Garden (From the United States Department of Agriculture.) By watching the processes of moth er nature and taking a tip from her, the home gardener who Is not certain when he should plant his seeds may get some valuable Information. Garden specialists divide vegetables into two clusses "warm temperature" and "cold temperature" vegetables. When peach and plum trees are in blossom, they say, It Is time to sow in the open ground such seeds as lettuce, radish, parsley, beets, turnips, cabbage, cat rots, peas, and onions. The wrinkled peas should not be planted until later, as they are more likely to rot in cool ground than are the smooth varieties. When the apple blossoms fall it is time to plant the heat-loving vege tables, such as cucumbers, beans, sweet corn, pumpkin, and squash. This is suid to be an old but excellent rule.

Emulating the famous hunter of the olden days who killed , two birds with one stone, a New Jersey manufacturer has recently brougbt out a combina tion tar and gravel heater that heats these two dissimilar materials quite in dependently but with one operation. The device, which Is shown In the ac companying illustration, is particularly fitted for street paving where block pavements with tar Joints are laid. The apparatus consists of two main parts, a rectangular tar kettle and a Y-Bhaped gravel bin, with n furnace extending beneath both parts, from one end to the other.

The Wisconsin law provides that financial consideration may be given by the state to people who plant and cultivate trees by the roadside. Ev ery person along or through whose lands a highway passes may plant and cultivate on one or both sides of the road where he shall own land, trees of such varieties as commonly grow at least 40 feet high. These must be set two rods or less apart and in a row within eight feet of the outer line of the highway. When such trees reach 12 feet In height the superintendent of highways shall give the owner upon request a certificate accepting the trees as pub lic shade trees. Thereafter they be long to the public and are protected as public property, but the title to them or to the fruit they bear belongs to the owner as long ns he maintains the trees and replaces such as die. The owner shall receive an annual bounty of three cents for each rod of highway along which such trees are planted on one side and six cents if planted on both sides, to be credited on his highway taxes.
