The War Trade ssoard has lim
ited the importation of crude rub
ber to 10 0,000 tons a year, and has
instructed its Bureau of Imports for
the current quarter to limit the is
suance of licenses to a total of 25,
000 tons up to June 31, 1918. Some
changes may be madeafter exper
iences are gained by this three
month's test. Imports of crude
rubber during the previous year had
been at the rate of 157,000 tons
per annum, so the cut is over one-third.
. You corn-pestered men and wom
en need suffer no longer. Wear
the shoes that nearly killed you be
fore, says this Cincinnati authority,
because a few drops of freezone ap
plied directly on a tender, aching
corn stops soreness at once and
soon the corn loosens so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without a
bit of pain. .
A quarter of an ounce of free
zone costs very lUtle at any drug
store, but is sufficient to take off
every hard or soft corn or callus.
This should be tried, as it is inex
pensive and is said not to inflame
or even irritate the surrounding tis
sue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.
Railroads in the first three
months of this year earned only
$71,705,000, as compared with
$179,431,000 for the same period
last year, making a loss to the gov
ernment under the system of com
mon operation of about $109000,
000. This report by the Interstate
Commerce Commission covers all
but five of the 190 railroads in the
country.
The total of the third Liberty
Loan is $4,170,019,650. an over
subscription of 39 per cent, above
the three billion minimum sought.
The number of subscribers was
about 17,000,000. Every federal re
serve district oversubscribed. Sec
retary McAdoo has asked that per

a successful ranch owner writes-
"The day I bought my first Smith

Today the things that could only be
done when the weather was right are
no longer a source of worry"

With the French Armies in
France, May 26. Germans captur
ed by the French testify to the bril
liant work of the Entente Allied
aviators, who, the prisoners say,
leave the Germans no peace. Fears
are 'expressed regarding future op
erations by Allied airmen on the
Rhine cities, which they believe
will be laid in ruins. The Germans
declare their anti-aircraft defences
are insufficient to prevent the Allies
visting either day or night the Teu
ton camps .cantonments, depots and
airdomes, where, they say, enor
mous damage already has been
done.
Other prisoners assert that Em
peror William hesitated a long time
before starting the offensive this
year, but that General Ludendorff
obtained the upper hand by promis
ing to force a peace by beating the
Allies by Easter. The Crown Prince,
with the military caste in Germany,
they say, succeeded in ejecting Ru
dolph von Valentini from power af
ter he had predicted a catastrophe
for the German arms.

There is nothing- surprising in
the news that Germany is melting
nickel and minting zinc coins.
The kaiser is right in telling
his people. that his sword will be
forged into plougshares. but he
doesn't, want to lose sight of the
fact that Uncle Sam is the black
smith who will perform that job.
. The American torpedo boat de-
strover that developed 3 8 knots on
her trial trip should give the Kaiser
some idea of the speed he eventual
ly will have to generate in traveling
back to Berlin.
Why Percy Sobbed.
One afternoon two' tramps knock
ed at. the back door of a farm house
and meekly asked the farmer's wife
for. something to eat. Instead of
giving them bread, she seized a
convenient broom stick and began
to beat them over the head with
such good effect that they precipi
tously fled for the gate. A mile
down the road one of the tramps
stopped running and sobbingly
dropped beneath a tree.
"Why, Percy," exclaimed the oth
er, solicitously turning to his com
rade, "did she hurt you?"
"No," answered -Percy, with an
other burst of sobs; "fortunately,
most of the blows went wild."
"What's the matter, then, old
fellow?" queried the second, "Why
those tears?"
"Tears of sympathy," answered
Percy.
'Sympathy for that lady's poor
old husband." .

Save, your hair! Double its beauty
in a few moments
try this!
If you care for neavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incomparable soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it im
mediately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannoV have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have dan
druff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its- lustre, its strength
and its very life, and if not over
come it produces a feverishness and
itching of the scalp; the hair roots
famish, loosen and die; then the
hair falls out fast '
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin; faded, dry, scraggy or
too oily, get a small bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter for a few
cents; apply a little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this
was the best investment you ever
made.
- We sincerely believe, regardless
of everything else advertised, that
if you desire soft, lustrous beauti
ful hair and lots of it no dandruff
no itching scalp and no more fall
ing hair -you must use Knowlton's
Danderine. If eventually why not
