mouth bass have been milking the

The discovery was made by Sammy

Dairymen had been noticing losses
In their milk supplies and blamed

baas, the other small-mouth. The
small-mouth flsh was driven off and

To the campaigner for cheaper
bread, a bread mixer looks almost as
necessary as a rifle to a soldier. It
may win a battle.
There are several fine bread mixers
on the market. In tho typo pictured
today, bread can be mixed and knead
ed without a finger touching the
dough. Moreover, the utensil can be
washed up very quickly because there
are only two parts to be cleaned. The
pun Itself Is seamless.
Recipes for many kinds of bread
accompany all of the mixers. As a
rule "setting the sponge" takes about
three minutes. The hand process re
quires from 10 to 16 minutes. And
the labor of kneading la accomplished
In less than one-flftli of the time
taken for kneading on a board.
In time of need
Every woman should know the comfort, and experi
ence the relief of a reliable remedy that can be de

ache, dizziness, languor, nausea and constipation. At
such times, nothing is so safe, so sure ana speedy as

Bu Special Cnrreipo-ilent.
Trenton, Sept. 19.—Provost Marshal
General Crowder, at Washington, who
has been directing the work of the
draft throughout the country, has wir
ed Governor Edge asking his opinion
as to what should bo done with the ex
emption boards after they have com
pleted the task of raising the first quo
ta for the National Army. Ho Is un
decided whether to release them from
further duty outright or to continue
theni, and If so, how?
The governor yesterday conferred
■here on the proposition with Acting
Adjutant General Gllkyson, of Tren
ton, Major Harry Krammer, of Cam
den, who has been In charge of the
military enrollment work for the ad
jutant general's department, and the
three chalrmon of the Federal District
Exemption Hoards, as follows: District
1, William C. Heppenhelnver, Jersey
City; District 2, John Ο. H. Pitney,
Morrlstown; DLstrlot 8, John R. Camp
bell. Trenton.
It was the concensus of the confer
ence opinion that the boards should be
continued, but not at the same rate of
speed or work which lias characterized
their efforts. Perhaps the plan of
meeting a half a day a week will be
adopted, In order to give the men
time to devote attention to their per
sonal affairs which have been neglect
ed In their patriotic work for the gov
lernitient.
The government will In a day or so
make his reply to Crowder, with his
opinion on the subject.

Ladies! Why 1
Keep Corns?
Lift a corn or callus right off
without one bit of pain.
Yes! You truly can lift
off every hard corn, soft
corn or corn between the
toes, as well as hardened
callouses on bottom of
feet, without one bit of
pain.
A genius In Cincinnati
discovered freezone. It Is
an ether compound and
tiny bottles of this magic
fluid can now be had at
any drug store for a few
cents.
Apply several drops of
this freezone upon a ten
der, aching corn or a cal
lous. Instantly all sore
n e s s disappears and
shortly you will find the
corn or callous so shriv
eled and loose that you
lift It off with the fin
gers. You feel no pain
while applying freezone
or afterwards.
Just think! No more
corns or callouses to tor
ture you and they go
without causing one
twinge of pain or sore
ness. Keep a tiny bottle
on the dresser and never
let a corn or callous ache
twice.—Adv.
