This will cost very lit tle but is sufficient to remove every nard or soft corn from one’s feet. A few drops of this new ether coni- ‘ pound applied directly upon a tender. I aching corn should relieve the sore «iess instantly, and soon the entire corn. . root and all. dries up and can be lifted out with the fingers.

Bo* 2 5 * Racine, Wts« Read Billy Sunday’s Sermons in The Journal * _ Concerning Mrs. Tubbs and Turkeys My Dear Mrs. Thomas: Seeing your letter in The Atlanta Semi-Weekly Jour nal of October 26, 1 am writing you for information in regard to the "play” you had for your <*hureh. ,We are wanting to raise seme money to furnish our Sun day school with necessary equipment, and thoifght we could use the play. We will appreciate any suggestions you may see fit to offer. Our Sunday school is in the rural sectio'n. seven miles from the nearest little town. We have a banner school and also have reached the standard of efficiency as required by the north Georgia .con ference. I was appointed superintendent three years ago, and have been doing all that I can to •uake it a success. Can you tell me where to get the colored pic tures of the different nations? I want to use them in our missionary work. Sincerely, MRS. BLANK There have been so many letters ask ing for the name and address of the play I mentioned two weeks ago I.am going to write to you through The Jour nal. The name is “Mrs. Tu*bbs of Shan tytown." and the price is 25 cents a copy. Denison A Co., of Chicago, are the publishers. Just address your letter T. S. Denison Co., Chicago, 111., and en close the money. Write your letter plainly and don’t forget to sign your name and address. We had only two books, but it is better to get three, for there are three characters that have ro much to memorise that they need books. The books can be bought by the ones using them, or they can be owned by the club giving the play. After three or four weeks' passing them around they are pretty well worn. The other char acters can copv their parts, or get them copied by Oome one writing good, clear letters: and right here let me tell you how to copy your part. I learfied from a stage director. Read the play oyer careftfllv so as to get the story settled in vour mind. Then write the last two or three words of the one who speaks before vou do. that is called your “cue. Then when there is a long conversa tion. or an act before you come in again, note the fact in parenthesis. Be sure and notice where you go in, whether the right or left side, and learn from the beginning not to turn your back to the audience. Have your stage from the first, if it’s only an im aginary one. We made the fireplace our audience at first. And when you hang your curtains be sure and fix them so that you can go behind them. Where Mrs. Tubbs puts the light in the win dow we used a Candle, as it s safer. The play takes a little over two hours, but there- isn’t a drag in it. We omit ted a long song thaCs printed In it, and the menagerie part, we hadn’t stage room for that. Some have written to buv our old books, but we have been Invited to go to other places and have been to one other already, so we still need the books. If nothing prevents we will Play In Littleville next Friday night. I have banked SSO for the 'hunch It gives me a great deal of pleasure to know that mentioning this effort of ours will help so many worthy causes. There have been about thirty letters in the two weeks, some from the Red Cross, some from schools, some from churches, and others from «ocleties. Have a good-natured crowd in the play, and vou will enjoy each rehearsal and be ready to get up another when needed. As to the colored pictures of the na tions, I think that the Methodists Pub lishing huse. Nashville. Tenn. can sup ply you. I wonder how many Sunday schools can say as much as has been said about the one mentioned in tms letter? Sometimes the question is ask ed. ’’What’s the use of mission study classes?” and here is a good answer: Because the missionayr enterprise is the chief business of the church It is not simply an outlet for the church’s sur plus energy and cash: it is the church s business. For this the church exists. To make missionaries, to send them, to support them, to reinforce them. If the missionary enterprise is not the church s chief business, what is? Study missions, because the knowl edge of missionary enterprise alone makes possible its proper support. If we knew enough of the real situation of the world s need of the gospel, we would give Intelligently, give more, and not grw weary of giving. We cannot un derstand missionary problems without missionary study. Now, about those turkeys. The lady did not give her address. As soon as she sends it these letters .vi'l be sent to her. This has been a ba 1 year tor turkevs. A lady writes me tha. she ’s going to get rid of her bronxi tui keys because she did not raise one th<s year. What guarantee have "you of success with others? I raised five out of fifteen, three her.s and two gobblers. My pair would make "honorable mention” anywhere. All through this section the Bourbon, or Kentucky Reds, are raised and there are plenty who did not even get one third or one-sixth. The poultry judges who came to see my chickens had ns many good things to say for the turkeys. I am going to use the same pair next year, and their eggs are al ready engaged.

FBOM SUNNY FLORIDA. • Dear Household: I have been think i lug foi; some time that I would write from this part of sunny Florida. After ■ living for more than twenty years in i Mississippi I came to the Land of Flow i ers to avoid bad weather, but the cold ■ weather has come south, too. The veg etables and tender fruit trees have felt the effects of the cold very much. But God reigns. Let the nations of the 1 earth rememer. , "Lord, our God, is clothed with might, The winds obey his will, ( He speaks, and in the heavenly height, The rolling sun stands still.” Another word as to the future of Flor ida. There are millions of acres of land waiting to be ’drained and dredged and i j then Florida will be as far ahead of ■ | California as a winter resort as Flor- ida oranges are sweeter and nicer than California oragnes. Whether the •gov ernment will do the dredging and drain ing this deponent saith not, but the time will come and the fertile soil will • bring forth millions for those who will tickle the land and make it laugh in fatness. It is with pleasure that I always turn to the “Our Household” and “The Country Home” page of The Journal. The first thing I do I always take a look 1 at dear Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Felton. ■ I admire their letters very much. I send love to the Farmer. Hope that • you both will be abundantly blessed, is the wish of, MRS. D. E. POLLOCK, i Wauchula, Florida. TO A BROWN-EYED FRIEND. By Albert Irving Mason. Little Brown Eyes, come smile on me, For I have fought with care all day, And I am lonely as I can be— Little Brown Eyes, ever feel that way? Ah, all my burden will lighted be, Little Brown Eyes, when you smile on me. Little Lute Voice, come sing me your song. For the chords of my heart are mute with pain, And I feel for the burden I’ve borne so long. Like a poor beaten butterfly out in the rain. Beaten and spent and faint—don’t you see? Little Lute Voice, some sing to me Lily-bright Fairy, come sit by me— See. I’m starving for just your cheer! The dreary moments will flit by me Like golden fireflies when you draw near, • • And hope awake like a new-born star. Dear little Fairy, how sweet you are! ANSWERS LETTERS. Dear Mrs. Thomas: I received the i package of letters you sent me. There were so many I could not an swer them all. This letter is a reply to the unanswered ones. The land that I wrote about before is in Madison coun ty, Fla., around Greenville, twenty miles from Madison. Rent for farm i land is $2.00 an acre. Lately there has been two large tracts of land sold to start a big stock farm. Over 2,0J0 acres in all will consist of this stock farm. My hubsand was talking to a party from Georgia last week; he was looking out for a location in this coun ty, he said land was renting for as high as $9,00 an acre where he was from. lam no land agent, so the best, way to see this county is to come and look. Farms for another year are fast renting and selling. The cashier at the bank at Greenville will give any in formation concerning Madison county lands that is wanted. Now just a little about chickens: T have forty little ones and twenty-eight hens, eggs are 40 cent here now but they are as cheap to eat as any other food so they are used for our table. I •am trying some Indian game chickens, they are black, good layers and ’tis said they will fight a hawk. They are | busy chickens requiring little feed, for they like to make their own living. My husband thinks they are good boll ■weevil destroyers. We killed a large rattlesnake last week. It had fourteen rattles and weigh ed eight pounds. Mrs. Sullivan, I don’t think I would care for ranch life in your cold region. I prefer sunny Florida I have a sister Who Ilves on a ranch at Dawn, Tex. They raise Hereford cattle. Some day I want to take a trip out there. A great many in our community have been called to war. This is my first year on farm. I am very busy out here: have giny children and chickens to look after, B together with all household duties. ffl Mrs. Thomas, you wrote In the sum <mer about us women jumping from one 9 job to another, and if we overworked wourselves it was our own fault. When Jone has children they feel they must not stop till their work is over, and that’s never. I have a neighbor with eight Z)children. She seems to get along bet s'ter than I do with three. There are Ci x>me smart women and noble mothers Ji who, I think, will surely deserve "stars j' in their crown.” ’ My letter Is rather long, so I will ’i close, hoping you will answer the roll <1 call and tell us what they are doing these glorious fall days. J MRS. MADISON. ONE WOMAN’S | -STORY 1 CHAPTER CXX. I HAD asked no questions during luncheon, neither had Myrtle vol unteered any information concern ing the mysterious "something Impor tant” further than her remark anent thf musicale. So, when the dessert had been served, I asked: "Was the musieale all you wanted to see me about, Myrtle?” "I shan’t say a word until we have finished,” she said determinedly. “So it won't do you any good to ask ques tions. I decline to have my salad spoil ed by discussing either your affairs or mine.” “But, Myrtle, is there really something the matter—something wrong?" "Nothing that cannot be helped, my dear,” she replied: but 1 noticed that her eyes didn’t meet mine with her usual frankness, and that her voice did not sound quite natural. It seemed to lack in heartiness, or something. "Will you do me a favor?” she asked, as we rose from the table and made our way to her cozy sitting room. “Why, certainly—if I can.” "Well, promise'me to follow my ad vice, to do as I say until you have prov en me to be in the wrong; will you?” “Os course, I will,” I laughed. “But why all this mystery?” "Because I want to help you from per haps making a wreck of your life; be cause, Margaret, I haven’t been blind to your unhappiness, even though your pride has qpt allowed you to make me a confidant. Now, Margaret, tell me have you thought you had any real reason to distrust Robert, to be jealous of him? I'm not asking out of curiosi ty, dear.” What should I say? Should I con | fide in Myrtle? These questions ran swiftly through my mind and I de cided that I must know what she had 1 to tell me. even though I had to give her my confidence. "How did you know?" I queried. “I didn't know —about you, I mean. But I had a pretty shrewd idea. I have ; watched you when Robert has been go ing out, or has told of his engagements, and the misery, the unhappiness in your eyes have been a revelation to me.” “Yes, I have been miserable, am miser able, more miserable than you even sus pect, Myrtle,” and the flood gates un- The gountry home ONE WAY TO MUBDEB AN ENEMY. A good many years ago there was a remarkable athletic club in New York City. One of the members (as was much later discovered! became very in imical to another one of the club who was proficient, an expert In the athletic exercises, but without suspicion of this man, a personal enemy. About Christ mas time fhls expert received through the mail a bottle of effervescing salts, a brand very popular at that time. It was handsomely fixed up and was sent anonymously. The man who received it showed it to his sister and niece, who lived with him, and left it standing in its handsomfc metal case on his dresser. Some days later his sister had a little spell of colic or indigestion, and re membered the bottle of effervescing salts on her brother’s bureau, and her daughter fetched it from her uncle’s room. The usual dose was dissolved in a tumbler of water, according to direc tions, and the sick woman died very soon in horrible agonies. When the medi cine was examined and analysed a dead ly poison was found, incorporated with the salts, and then the story of the attempted murder of the athletic club member became national. The wrap pings on the package fortunately had been preserved. The narrow ribbon tied on it led also to detection. The chain 6f evidence was a long one, but the thing was unwound so skilfully that the man who attempted to poison his club mate, and did really kill his colleague’s sister, was unearthed .in a small Brook lyn laboratory and convicted by the court. Week after week the trial'drag ged along and the newspapers were full of it, because it was a cause celebre. The man who escaped the fate of his aged sister died in IJJew York.yesterday. He had no recommendation to national fame, except that he spared neither time, strength or money to run down the murderer who, under the guise of holiday friendship, had placed a deadly poison in his reach and all because the murderer envied the expert his success in the exercises of the athletic club. The lesson is a plain one. Don’t tamper with medicines that are not sworn to by a druggist of good repute. THE BEAUTIFUL MOON. My front porch faces the east. When the moon is at the full and begins to rise from the horizon, it is by far the most beautiful thing in the heavens. As I saw it last night it seemed partich larly attractive. When I remember that American boys in France could see this beautiful moon, as I was looking at it, and they would take comfort in the tact that their loved ones at home were also gazing at the glorious orb and thinking of them—irr that war-devastat, ed country in the eastern hemisphere. When the moon is low on the hori zon it is peculiarly large owing to the laws of refracted light, but w’hen it soars high above the treetops, radiant in glory, and moves majestically—the Queen of the Night—it is the most marvelous exhibit of celestial grace and beauty that the Almighty maker of heaven and earth has made into a glo rious moving picture. This picture has never failed to apepar on time, in the lapse of centuries and during the cycles of eternity yet to come—the moon will be its perfect self and always on duty to celebrate the marvelous skill and wisdom of its Creator. I often wonder what the people in the moon think of us. The earth is so much the larger body and the moon goes about and around us once a month—the calendar month—and is so much nearer to us than any other celestial body— that the scene must excite unfailing curiosity. But the moon In France is the same old moon that shines in Georgia and the soldier boys must be saying "I wonder if mother is looking at it right now?” A MOST WELCOME LETTER. Woodland, Ga„ Oct. 31, 1917. Mrs. W. H. Felton, Cartersville, Ga. My Dear Mrs. Felton: Along the high way of life duty calls us to many places, and today I lay aside other duties to pen you a few lines. As The Semi-' Weekly pays its welcome visits to our home wi’h the picture of your dear face in it, I feel it would be a great pleasure to talk face to face with you and tell how much I have appreciated your good advice and counsel to the old and young. It seems to me you have hit upon every topic that could help man kind. You have reached down into the depths of the lower regions and to the vaults of high heaven with your pen Could any one do more? May God crown your efforts with a rich inheritance in the realms above and may your remain ing days on this earth be peaceful and happy. Trusting you are safe in the hands of Him who doeth all things well. I re main, Your friend. MRS. M’ATTrfE. C. By Carolyn Beecher loosed as I told her of all the long, lonely years when I had been neglected, left alone. "He always gave business as an excuse—when he gave an excuse, which was seldom. But I have been so shut out. Myrtle, so absolutely shut out from him, his interests.” "Vou must remember. Margaret, that Robert is a peculiar man, a peculiar type In some ways. He is so serious, so unlike most men of his age; always has been. You can scarcely judge him' by any fixed standard.” “I haven’t. I have excused every thing. everything, until lately, I have felt I could not go on much longer. Then I think of the children, and go on waiting—but now without hope. Now— since she has so interested him.” “You mean Phyllis Lawson?" “Yes. It seems you do know,” I said bitterly. "Yes, I know! nothing against Rob ert, nothing about their friendship. But I do know that is what is worry ing you. and if I can I mean to help you.” ..‘‘You are kind, Myrtle, but it is too late.” "Bosh! It’s never too late—until they are gone.” My brain whirled. So Myrtle too thought there was danger. I wondered wearily if she really thought he would go, or if she was simply trying me. “I hate her! I wish she was dead,” I began stormily, outraged in every fiber of my being that any one, even Myrtle, should know and pity. “Don't Margaret," Myrtle pleaded. "You can’t fight this thing—ls there is anything to fight—by getting angry. Now listen to me!” Her peremptory tone and calm man ner quieted me, and I was glad to obey. “In the first place, dear, I don’t be lieve there is a single thing wrong in Robert’s friendship for Phyllis Lawson. He likes her probably, Is Interested in her because of her cleverness. Then she was his client, you know. You have religiously refused to know her, to in vite her to your house. When you meet her you show your dislike. very plainly—that was one of the things which aroused my suspicion. Don’t mis understand me, and please do not be angry when I tell you that I don’t think you are quite fair to Robert. I do not believe that a man of his colos sal, his overpowering ambition is going to compromise himself by giving cause for scandal. But, ’Margaret, it Is just his kind of men who make the woman who loves them think so because of the neglect, either real or fancied, which is their lot because of this very ambition.” "But you haven’t told me what to do. nor how you knew that Mrs. LaWson was coming between Robert and me.’ "I will tell you, but you must prom ise not to tell any one I have spoken to you of it. Ned would be furious.” CHAPTER CXXX. AFTER I had solemnly assured Myrtle that I wouldn’t divulge anything, she went on: "Ned’s stenographer that pretty Miss Bailey in Robert’s office, it seems, »re inseparable. One afternoon Ned was in his office when she came in. They evidently thought he had gone, and were not at all discreet In what they said. Miss Bailey told of Mrs. Lawson’s visits to your husband’s office; of how Robert required her to make correc tions in Mrs. Lawton’s manuscript. Then she told her that you called one day when Robert was out; that she thought it was Mrs. Lawson, and let you know she didn’t like her. She said you told her you didn’t like her either, and that she knew by your manner that you were jealous, and that she didn’t blame you. Remember, Margaret, I am only repeating what Ned heard. You know better than I do if there is any truth in it.’ I blushed hotly with shame and con fusion. To think that my foolish speech, regretted as soon as uttered, should be repeated. Why in the world had I ever been foolish enough to make such a remark? “I was almost desperate that day. Myrtle,” I confessed, "and purposely tried to draw Miss Bailey out. I am so ashamed.” “It was foolish, Margaret, but it’s done, and there’s no use fretting over it. I should not have told you that part of the conversation —what you said about Mrs. Lawson —only I wanted to put you on your guard.’ “I know,” I stammered. “You must change your attitude to ward Mrs. Lawson, Margaret. She is clever, unusually interesting, and has been immensely successful. Every one receives her, and you must also. Let Robert meet her in his own house —if he meets her anywhere. Don't be stub born, Margaret,” as I shook my head. "Remember, dear, I went through near ly the same thing—it was worse, if any thing, because the woman wasn’t a Winter Eggs-Sure Any poultry raiser can easily double his profits by doubling the egg production of his hens.

Many mar ried women have as much to contend with at sometime during their lives, some a good deal more. Don’t ruin your whole life by planning to leave Robert. Try to keep him and your home togeth er.” "How do you know I am planning to leave him?” I was nettled that she should seem to take any action of mine for granted. "I am not blind, Margaret. You have some sort of an idea that if you fit yourself properly you can support your self and the children—if Robert would let you take them—and that is the rea son for all this work and study with your piano and your voice. Am I not right?” Then, without waiting for an answer, she went on, "Give it up, dear. Your husband is worth more than inde pendence, your home more than a little pride. Then, too, dear, have you any right to take Robert away from the children, or them away from him? Doesn’t Bruce need his father? Betty too? Why. dear, there isn’t a single good reason for you to leave Robert— If you love him.” “If Robert would let me take them.” That idea had never occurred to me. Why, he couldn’t prevent my taking them. They were mine—and his. Yes, for the first time in all the time I had been so unhappy that I contemplated the time when we might separate I thought of the children, Bruce and Bet ty, as belonging to Robert as well as to me. Then what had Myrtle said, “I had no single good reason to leave Robert—if I loved him.” Why, that was just the reason I had thought of a separation. I loved him too well to go on enduring his neglect— the thought that he cared for some one else. Perhaps if I were away from him I should not feel so keenly, would learn to forget that I loved him. * “But Myrtle you don’t understand,” at last I spoke. "I cannot remain after Robert is aware that I know—*-about Mrs. Lawson. Had he known that I was cognizant of lus—friendship for her, I could not have remained so long. And so far as pretending friendship for her, inviting her to my house. I would die first. You mean well Myrtle, but you are differently constituted. I can’t take your advice. I’m sorry you know, but perhaps it doesn’t make any differ ence, for it may be public gossip before very long.” "Oh, I hope not!” she exclaimed, then sadly. “So my interference has done no good?" "Don’t call it interference. I know it was friendship for Robert and me that made you speak. But I must work out my own salvation —or the other thing, in my own way.” After this I talked about* every topic under the sun. save the one uppermost in both our minds. Myrtle was plainly uneasy, and I caught her eyes fixed or> me once or twice. But when she saw i was aware of her intent regard sh made a marvellously quick shift of ex pression. But she was not quite quic I enough for me to miss the sorrowful I pitying look in her eyes as they mt I mine. ”1 must go!” I exclaimed as the cloc | on her desk pointed to 4 o’clock, promised Bruce I would go riding wit him.” "You won’t let anything I have sa! come between us, will you, Margaret. Myrtle asked wistffilly, as she kisst me. "I meant to help.” "No, indeed! I haven’t so man friends that 1 can afford to lese then We’ll forget that we ever discussefi any thing more important today than Mary’ johnny cake and broiled chicken.” I SOIO.OO PEERLESS PHONOGRAPH far Only 50Q.85 an amazing offer 09 This is the Peerless Grand Phonograph, a magnifi cent instrument that reproduces the human voice and c uH musical instruments with a clearness and fidelity of tone, not surpassed by any make, regardless of price or reputation.

A Doctor Said Operation or Death—But Medicine Cured. ■ Des Moines, lowa.—“My husband says I would have been in my grave today had it not been for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.

Richmond, Ind.—“For two years I was so sick and weak from female troubles that when going up stairs I had to go very slowly with my hands on the steps, then sit down at the v top to rest. The doctor said he thought I should hare an operation, and my friends thought I would not live to move into our new house. My daughter asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound as she had taken it with good results. I did so, my weakness disappeared, I gained in strength, moved into our new home, do all kinds of garden work, and raised hundreds of chickens and ducks. I cannot say enough in praise of Lydia E.
