DESERVES A SOLD MEDAL FDR THIS 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.

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.
