Cincinnati Authority Tells
How to Dry up Any Corn
or Callus so it Lifts Right
Off
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied direct
ly on a tender, aching com stops
soreness at once and soon the com
loosens so it can be lifted out, root
and all, without a bit of pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store,
but is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft com or callus. This
should be tried, as it is inexpensive
and is said not to inflame or even ir
ritate the surrounding tissues or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this. advt.
The war is separating the sheep
from the goats. The men who support
the government loyally are known.
Also the men who kick and sneer and
growl and bark are known. When it
is all over, the renegades will be os
tracized. Which side are you on?
Negro women are being used as
section hands on the Central of Geor
gia Railway near Savannah, it is said.
Labor is at a premium. There is no
place for the loafer.

CAMPAIGN AGANIST ADULT
ILLITERACY IS PROPOSED
5,516,163 Persons Over Ten Years of
Age in U. S. Unable Read or Write
Washington, March 15. —In prepa
ration for launching a campaign
against adult illiteracy among the
American people generally and
against ignorance of the English lan
guage among foreign-born, Secretary
Lane today sought the aid of President
Wilson in pressing for passage of a
pending bill which would provide
funds to be used for this purpoose by
the Bureau of Education.
If the bill is passed quickly the plan
is to give special attention immediate
ly to teaching illiterate men, especial
ly thoose in Class A, who may be
called to the colors within a few
months.
Secretary Lane adrressed letters to
the President and Senator Smith, of
Georgia, and Representative Sears, of
Florida, chairmen of the Congression
al committees on education.
Secretary Lane’s Letter
“I believe,” he wrote, “that the
time has come when we should give
serious consideration to the education
of those who cannot read or write in
the United States. There are in the
United States (or were when the cen
sus was taken in 1910) 5,516,163
persons over ten years of age who
were unable to read or write any lan
guage. There are now nearly 700,000
vp:r>.\Y. M'RCH 1918
men of draft age in the United States
who are, I presume, registered, who
cannot read or write in English or any
other language. Over 4,600,000 of
the illiterates in this country were 20
years of age or more. Over 58 per
cent are white persons, and of these
1,500,000 are native born whites.
Economic Loss Heavy
“I beg you to consider the economic
loss arising out of this condition. If
the productive labor value after an il
literate is less by only 50 cents a day
than that of an educated man or wo
man, the country is losing $825,000,-
000 a year through illiteracy.
“It would seem to be almost axiom
atic that an illiterate man cannot
make a good soldier in modem war
fare. Until last April the regular ar
my would not enlist illiterates, yet in
the first draft between 30,000 and
40,000 illiterates were brought into
the army, and approximately as many
| near illiterates. They cannot read
their orders posted daily on bulletin
boards in camp. The ycannot read
their manual of arms.”
Whenever You Need a General Tonic
Take Grove’s.
The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless
chill Tonic is equally valuable as a
General Tonic because it contains the
well known tonic properties of QUININE
and IRON. It acts on the Liver, Drives
out Malaria, Enriches the Blood and
Builds up the Whole System. 60 cents.
Brace up and smile. The worst may
be over.
