Tells Why a Corn is So Painful and
Says Cutting Makes Them Grow.
Press an electric button and you
form a contact with a live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it ushes its sharp
roots down upon a sensitive nerve and
you get a shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone. This
will cost very little but is sufflicent to
remove every hard or soft corn or cal
lus fro mone’s feet. A few drops ap
plied directly upon a tender. aching
corn stops the soreness instantly, and
soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts
right out. rqot and all, without pain.
This drug is harmless and never in
bamcs or even irritates the surround
in gtissue or skin. advt.

JACK DILLION IS
DAD LUCK SCRAPPED
BY H. C. HAMILTON.
NEW YORK. March 15.—Jack Dil- (
lon, erstwhile Indinapolis bearcat,'
mankiller, and holder of several other >
titles, is the most unfortunate scrap-]
per inhabiting the United States. His
refusal to battle Jim Flynn after he
had lost his chance to get on with
Les Darcy, brought it out fully.
When Dillon came to New York not
a long time ago Billy Miske battled
him for ten rounds and did a fairly
good job of it. Dillon scored heavily
against the St. Paul false alarm, but
he was surprised the next day to dis
cover that nearly every newspaper U
the city had come to the conclusion
that Miske had beaten him.
Then Jack came back to New York
and met Miske again. He didn't make
quite so good a showing, but he did
well and easily held Miske to a draw.
However the critics again set it down
as a victory for Miske.
Then Dillon got mad. He came to
the conclusion that his former rough
ness had got him in bad. He had
made such a habit of beating up his
opponents that critics were unable io
see his side of the bout when he fail
ed to knock somebody down a few
times when he appeared in a ring.
So he got himself matched up with
Al McCoy as a prelude to his battling
Darcy. He McCoy so bad 't
was a shame, but he was incensed
when he awakened the next morning
and found himself criticized for not
knocking McCoy out. In fact. two
rounds of the scrap were credited to
McCoy by more than one.
McCoy tpok a beating that many a
heavyweight would have fallen under.
He was hit plenty of times and ae
was hit hard. He deserved full credit
for winning the bout just as he did,
but he didn't get it. Dillon says he
won’t fight again in New York. No
one can censure him for such a de
cision. He was rapidly losing his
reputation when he decided to go back
to Indiana.
GERMAN OWNER OF NEW
YORK BARBER SHOPS
SAYS BACK WILSON
NEW YORK, March 15.—The German
proprietor of a string of barber shops
here today sent a circular to all his
foreign born employees urging them
to “stand behind the President, what
ever decision he may make.” The
writer is a native of Germany who has
made all he has in the United States.
“You, or your fathers before you.’’
says the letter, “came to this country
seeking social and political liberty.
That you should retain in your hearts
the love of your Fatherland is but nat
ural. But now that the country of our
adoption is itself threatened by the
danger of war in the defence of the
honor and integrity of its people and
its institutions, there is no allegiance
which can be yours save the single,
absolute and unadulterated allegiance
to America.
“Stand behind her as one man in
her hour of arises, even though you
be brought into conflict with your
own blood and bone.”

GftRE FOR THE LAST
WAR BOND’S ISSUE
| ROME, Italy, March 15.—Italy will
be able to redeem her war bonds to j
the last lire through the earnings of
I the new industrial enterprises develop- '
* ed by the war,‘according to Minister]
of State Luigi Luzzatti, Italy’s best
known financier. To a correspondent ‘
1 cf The Associated Press he said:
' “‘ltaly is far richer than strangets
I give her credit for. It is a striking
I fact that we have surprised ourselves (
1 during the struggles of this war. In
I time of danger we have discovered
1 capacities which have astonished us,
’ particularly in our industries. We
have now operating more than 2,000
I factories for war materials, employ-
I ir.g about a half million workers.
| Americans know how saving are the
' Italians who go to them. Therefore it
i may not astonish them to know that
in war time our savings banks are
'actually increasing their deposits, de
' spite the heavy popular subscriptions
to our war loans.
“Among all the new nations, this I
wish to declare: Italy in the past has
always been the best payer of her
| debts, punctually; no one more than
I we have a stricter idea of the day of
payment, the keeping of which con
stitutes the financial honor of a peo
ple. an honor which should be as un
-1 stained as that of its military or polit
-1 ical honor. I
I “All the foreign governments that
' extended us faith and credit when we
1 were Piedmont and later when we
1 were United Italy have been satisfied.
' We sold them our loans far below par
! thereby giving high rates of interest
■and other profits; afterwards, we were
: happily able to take up our loans at
' face value and when our bank bills
1 were the equal of gold money values
in every country, even that of the
American dollar. We had no difficulty
in converting the nationaly bonds to
the value of $1,600,000,000 or 8,000,-
000,000 lire.
“Tn July, 1914, Italian money was
quoted at par in New York. The sor
rows and hazards of the war came, and
| today our money has depreciated
thereby more than thirty per cent.
"Already there are nations seeking
1 to occupy the place in Italy held be-
* fore the war by Germany. Among
! these are said to be the United States.
■We welcome commercial relations
1 with the United States. We are al
' ready a large buyer of her goods. But
I if the United States wishes to trade
with us, would it not be better to show
I her interest substantially?
“Undoubtedly we are suffering from
I the old time-worn system of interna
tional exchange which permits of for
tunes being bade through speculation.
What we need and what the world
needs is an international Chamber of
Compensation which I have propose 1
1 many times, the latest time being at
: Paris last year, the operation of
j which would be a great peaceful bond
sustained by honest, reciprocal in
lterests.
“Europe just now has too much pa
per money while the United States
has too much gold. The United States
not only should, but will have to, re
store the gold to the countries which
suffer from the lack of it, and the
i sooner she restores it the sooner will
I she ameliorate the crisis which al-
I ways comes to a country too rich in
| gold.”

THE AMERICUS TIMLS-RECORDER.
ISLANDERS GET FIRST
MAID FROM UNITED STATES
NEW YORK, March 15.—For the first
time since its colonization in 1789 by
mutineers and Tahitian women, Pit
cairn Island, that geogrohpical period
in the Pacific ocean between Panama
and New Zealand, where steamers stop
sometimes as often as once a year, will
receive mail service from the United
States via the steamship Australplaln,
sailing from this part today.
Probably the only person in the
United States to whom this news is
valuable is Miss Emily McCoy, who
left Pitcairn 15 years ago to come to
the United States to study nursing.
There are about 150 inhabitants on the
island, and Miss McCoy says divorce
and unequal suffrage are unknown
among the islanders.
; WHEN YOU WAKE ’
! UP DRINK GLASS '
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from j
•yatem before putting more
food into stomach.
•ays Inside-bathing makes any-
lone look and feel clean,
, sweat and refreshed.
Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowels pores do.
I For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be car
ried out by the body. If this waste
material is no eliminated day by day it
quickly ferments and generates pois
ons, gases and toxins which are ab
sorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
whcih is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
botvels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with a dull, aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
! have billious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of pro
nounced improvement in both health
and appereance shortly. advt.
