Without Any Pain Sore corns, hard corns, toft corns or any kind of a corn can shortly be lifted right out with the fingers if you will apply directly uoa the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. It is claimed tbat at small cost one can get a quarter of an ounce of freez one at any drug store, which is suffi cient to tid one's feet of every corn or callus without pain or soreness or the danger of infection. This new drug is an ether compound, and while sticky, dries the moment it is applied ami does not inflame or even irritate the surrounding tissue.

THE PEOPLE WE PAY POSTAGE ON MAIL ORDERS ROY FARMER LOSES IN SUPREME COURT Conviction of Manslaughter Affirmed Eight Other Rov .. Karnum, who was convicted o. manslaughter in the killing of Edna Morgan in the Cow Creek anyon on December S, 1914, when her charred body with a five months foetus beside it was found in the smoking ruins of a barn, lost his appeal to the supreme court, according to the decision render ed this morning by Judge McBride, which decision affirmed the sentence and verdict of the lower court. Judge Harris concurred aud Judge Burnett dissented. Edna Morgan was a 13-year old girl who lived a short distance from Glen dale, Douglas county, in the Cow Creek valley, and in an attempt to commit an unlawful act by violence in order to conceal the results of their illicit intercourse, the court declares it is sat isfied he either shot her or killed her bv other means. The decision of the court covers 37 typewritten pages and recounts the story of the crime in all its gruesome details. In brief, Roy Fa mam was con victed after all the evidence, circum stantial though some of it was, tended to show that he alone had been inti mate with the girl, that he alone took her to parties, games, etc., that he pro cured drugs of a poisonous nature from druggists for an alleged cousin who was m "trouble with a girl," that his actions all tended to show he was re sponsible. On the night of December, he lured her to the barn, out of which she never came alive. Shots were heard and pieces of melted lead were picked up beside her charred body. Figuring in the evidence were the tracks of a woman shoes which fitted with the hoeshe girl wore, the tracks of the heavy, hobnailed shoes he wore, the tracks of a horse, etc. In giving his dissenting opinion. Judge Burnett states there are clouds on the evidence, that hearsay evidence was allowed to go on record, and be believed another trial should be grant ed the accused.

EXPECT 10 UNCOVER Many Prominent Financiers Summoned to Appear Be fore Grand Jury Washington, Dec. 12. President Wil son late yesterday personally approved plans of the department of justice for a big nation wide food probe supple mented by special grand jury investi gation, where necessary. Following a conference of nearly an hour with President Wilson, Special As sistant Attorney General Anderson, in charge ol the probe, announced he would be unable to leave for Chicago tonight as scheduled to assume direc tion of the grand jury investigation there. He said, however, the grand juries ealled at Chicago, New York and Cleveland will go right ahead. Government suspicion, notably in the agricultural department, has been di rected towards the big packing houses for nearly a year. Those in intimate touch with the probe believe that it is in this direction the cudgel of the law will fall the heaviest. It is also considered highly probable that the grantl juries to be called in Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland and probably Kansas City, Minneapolis and Sr. Louis, within the. next few days, will delve into operations of chambers of commerce and other similar bodies. Anderson had no appointment withH President Wilson before leaving Wash-,fl lugiuii, out ii whs neiievea prooaoie e would see him for a brief informal talk. It is understood President Wilson has approve of Attorney General Greg ory's "carte blanche" orders to An derson.

There fallow depression, aches and pains, heaviness, drowsiness. Irrita bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu matism. In some people there are sharp pains in the back and loins, distressing bladder disorders and sometimes obstin ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes forms into gravel or kidney stones. When the uric acid affects the muscles and joints, it causes iirmbago, rheumatism, gout or sciatica. This is the time to try "Anuric" .Daring digestion uric acid is absorbed Into the system from meat eaten, and even from some vegetables. The poor kidneys get tired and backache begins.

Shipley Co. 145 North Liberty Street, Salem L TO PLAYSANTA CLAUS At the Same Time the Ques tion "Are You Lucky?" Worries Them Somehow the ivord has gone out that the fraternal bodies are going to play Santa Claus to all Salem at their big holiday "doings" at the armory De cember 21, 22 and 23. Folks who feel that "Luck" is one of their character istics are firm in the belie'f that all they have to do is to attend the pre-holiday "show" and their Christmas gift prob lem will be solved. Several members of the Moose lodge, who claim to be on the inside are pre paring to take advantage of their natur al luck and arc strengthening their chances by packing huge horse shoes and innumerable rabbits' feet. However, lodge officials claim that they are in wrong. They claim that arti ficial luck promoters will be of no avail that the natural "Luck" af each in dividual will be the only posible ad vantage. Why all this talk about "luck" ad "Are you lucky!" That is the question that is perplexing Salem folks. What is the nature of the proposed "Produc tion?" Why should "luck" figure so strongly in the matter? No one who knows will tell and those who don't know can't. There the matter stands. In the mean while the various fraternal organiza tions are. going ahead with their plans and keeping their council. Committees are meeting daily to complete the plans and seem to take a tienmsn delight in withholding the details of the show from the public. "It is best that you don't know what we are going to offer at the armory," declared the chairman of a lodge com mittee this morning. "You will be all the more gratified at the many surprises we are planning. When you enter the armory the surprise will more than com pensate vou for the curiosity of these itwo weeks- You will find more than 20 different features each one worthy of ivour patronage. Ani, of course, there jwill be a surprise connected with each land every feature of the "big show." I Apparently this fraternal show is a Ishow of contradictions and riddles. At least Satan can't figure it out. All tha: can be done is to wait and ask cack ! other "Ahe you lucky?" lows: Captain H. Doc, who has cbos en Dr. Morehouse, C. W. Elgin, C.
