A brisk, lively top is what carms more than a lovely step is what charms more tlfan lovely kin, but your high heols have caused corns and you limp a little. That's bad, girls, and you know it. Corns destroy beauty and grace, besides corns are very easy to remove. Rid your feet of every corn by asking at any drug store for a quarter of / an ounce of frcezone. This will cost litt'e but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, touchy corn relieves the soreness and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out without pain. This freezone is a gummy substance which dries instantly and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding skin. Women must keep in mind that comless feet create a youthful step which enhances her attractiveness. Adv. 4., No. 666 This Is a prescription prepared especially (or MALARIA or CHILLS A FCVKR.

FOLLOWING I FALSE GODS By 8. 8TANWOOO MENKEN, President of the National 8ecurlty League. Just as the test of the Individual Is || best found under the stress of great j umi or piay or passion, so nations | prove themselves In time of war and i are able to Judge. ! not alone of the soothe measure ^of ^ for they admit It; j and yet, when we | a . look back over ' 8. Stanwood ... , i . our history and I Menken .. . x consider how we | have met great problems?such as | slavery, by n great war; tarllT, by ' fourteen hills nnu a like number of panics; conservation, currency, hank j lng, anti-trust and railroad questions, ( by making the same matters of poll- I tics?It may be doubted whether we j are quite as great ns we think we are. | In considering how we exercise our ; judgment, we should remember the 9 extent to which we have devoted our- j selves to the education of the young | and the large sums we have spent ai . all times for tuihiie / imnio -*--- " colleges. When we look hark nnd see j the mistakes we have made, It would j almost appear as If we had failed to j apply much that had been taught us In 1 school and college, or that perhaps the j school and college had not taught u*? j how to solve great political measures. j Then, again, the thought c? tnes tf> us ! of whether or not we have not had j false lcuders, and have not clung to j false gods. Corporation Wrongs. We all remember the outcry against < ' vested Interests of the capitalists. ~~ There have been great wrongs done by many corporations?some of their IS franchises have been obtained by cor- K ruptlon and theft and groat Injuries |H have often been done to the rights of K the people; and so. when we found M times hard and things going wrong. ? we have vented our anger upon cor- . B porntions and upon the capitalists who B controlled them. In many cases we H allowed ourselves to become angry R with a class or with certain Individ- B mils and expended our strength on H our temper, raliter than upon a study Iff of the cure of the conditions about SI which we complained ; and In many jfa Instances we punished corporations H for lite wrongs of their predecessors BH In ownership, much as sins of parents (9 are visited upon their children. M Demagogues, knowing the public b molMi appealed to prejudice ami lg- H norance itt discussing public matters B nnd made Issues like current^, nntl- Kd trust laws nnd the railroads political E footballs. Just as If the question of I whether money could be saved by | Joining together companies nnd pro- |i vldlng for economy In purchases and I sales was political. Of course It was i a matter of economics (which Is the B science of commerce). Such matters | chii mr n conrerence net ween ropre- H tentative* of farmers, laborers, sel- H entlflc students of world conditions.

The thHfty. Intelligent, Industrious European Is ^ apt to t* a good merchant, and ws tire ^ going to bnve a hard time competing 1 c' with him for commerce and for world I position, so we must consider all of | our problems mc re carefully than ever before and cast aside those men who R at tempt to lend us awny from a p1 thoughtful, dispassionate view of great r,: questions. ^ Graft nnd negiect In local comntunl- j ties of political duties by the avernge ^ citizen are responsible for the mlsgov- B ernment that breeds disrespect, where m we should have pride because of the J efficiency of our people.
