Because style decree that women crowd and buckle up their tender toes in high heeled foot wear, they suffer from corns, then they cut and trim at these painful pests which merely makes the corn grow hard. This su icidal habit may cause lockjaw and women are warned to stop it. A few drops of freezone applied directly upon a eore com or tender callus gives quick relief and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, lifts oft! with out pain. Ask the drug store man for a tiny bottle of freeeone, which costs but a few cents, but Is suf ficient to remove every hard or s-oft corn or callus from one's feet. Freerona dries in a mo ment and simply shrivel up the corn or callus with out even Irritating the surrounding ekin. Women!

' Secured Big Sums of Money Before Fraud Was Disclosed Impostor Invited to Luncheon by Naval Officers at New York Navy Yard. AU Visited the Edison Laboratory. Washington, Aug. 20. The myste rious stranger, passing himself off on naval officers - and others as a son of Secretary Daniels, has obtained numer ous sums of money and to date has eluded capture. The Navy Department today issued a warning against the impostor. Ac cording to the department's announce ment the first occasion was July 9, when the impostor introduced himself to the officers of he receiving ship at the New York navy yard and was in vited to luncheon. He said he had lost about $47 and succeeded in bor rowing from the ship's paymaster $20, furnishing a regular navy receipt, which he signed "Herbert J. Daniels." On July 25 the same man called on the principal of the Mont Clair, N. J., academy, introducing himself as Frank Danjtels, a son of the secretary, and said he had been commissioned by Rear Admiral Usher, of the New York navy yard, to arrange for an encamp ment on the academy campus for 200 sailors. He also expressed a desire to visit Thomas A. Edison at his labora tory at Orange, N. J., and this was arranged through Dr. Reese M. Hutch ison. The Navy Department -statement says that Dr. Hutchison lost $250 in cash by taking the stranger's check. ' When Dr.' Hutchison came to Wash ington he handed Secretary Daniels a letter from his "son" and the fraud was disclosed. In the meantime, the impostor had again called at Dr. Hutchison's home in Orange, N. J., saying he was going to stay there a week. He borrowed a camera from the butler and then pro ceeded to the Edison storage battery plant, where he got $30 from the su perintendent on a bad check. "As soon as Secretary Daniels learn ed of the fraud," the statement con tinued, "the authorities were notified to be on tne lookout for the impostor. On Sunday July 2, a secret service man, in company with a policeman, saw the young man on Park avenue, in Orange, and approached him with the intention of placing him under arrest. However, the young man wore a different suit of clothes from that he has worn when he was at Dr. Hutchison's, and had no glasses, and the secret service man not being sure of his ground, did not ar 5st him. Since that day the impostor has not been seen." ' CONSTANTINE'S SYMPATHIES WERE ON THE KAISER'S SIDE But Failed to See Any Advantage in Mobilizing Greek Army. London, Aug. 20. -Athens dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company says that among the diplomatic docu ments found in Athens since the change of government is a dispatoh of former King Constantino written a few days after the war began in response to a message from Emperor William, who proposed Greece should range herself with the Central Powers. Constantino said: 'The emperor well knows my per sonal sympathies as well as my politi cal .opinions attract me to his side. Nevertheless it is impossible for me to understand in what manner I could be useful to him in mobilizing my army. "The Mediterranean is at the mercy of the united fleets of England and France, which could destroy our navy and merchant marine, occupy our is lands and above all prevent concentra tion of my army, which could be ef fected only by sea, in the absence of railway communications. Without it being in our power to be useful in any particular we would be wiped off the map I am necessarily of the opin ion that neutrality is imposed us." Go tlieb von Jagow, then German for eign secretary, replied to Constantino that Emperor William would under stand the necessity of maintaining neu trality at present. He advised Constan tine to reach an understanding with Sofia and Constantinople. ADDRESS MUST SHOW UNIT TO WHICH SOLDIER BELONGS Otherwise Mail Cannqt Be Delivered to the Men la France.
