RENFREW’S RECORD, ALVA, OKLAHOMA
Lift off Corns!
Doesn't hurt a bit and Freesone
costs only a few cents.
With your fingers! You can lift oft
any hard corn, soft corn, or corn be-
tween the toes, and the hard skin cal-
luses from bottom of feet.
A tiny bottle of “Freezone” costs
little at any drug store; apply a few
drops upon the corn or callus. In-
stantly It stops hurting, then shortly
you lift that bothersome corn or callus
right off, root and all, without one bit
of pain or soreness. Truly! No hum-
bug I
It Is easier to want things than it Is
to get them.
WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWMtf-ROOT
For many yean druggists hare watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
It is a physician’s prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver end blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit
end it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and atart
treatment at once.
However, if you wish lint to test thia
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer ft Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure end
mention this paper.—Adv.

“Meats in Storage”
Every working day of the year
75,000,000-pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs—and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the U. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June 1, 19L0,
there were 1,348,000,000 pounds of
meats in cold storage. If the meat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be 20 days’ supply.
This meat is not artificially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats in storage consist of—
65 per cent (approximate) hams, bacon, etc.,
in process of caring. It takes 30 to 90
days in pickle or salt to complete the
process.
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year.
6 per cent is lard. This is only four-fifths
of a pound per capita, and much of it will
have to go to supply European needs.
19 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part of
which is owned by the Government and
was intended chiefly for over-seas ship*
ment. If this were all diverted to domes-
tic trade* channels, it would be only
1 Yz lbs. per capita—a 3 days’ supply.
100%
From this it will be seen that “meats
in storage” represent merely un-
finished goods in process of curing and
the working supply necessary to assure
the consumer a steady flow of finished
product.

Wailing Wall of the Jews.
KE-00—Te-ke-oothe
notes ring ont, poignant,
pitiful; “Te-ke-oo.” Once
again It resounds In the
hoary rifts of the "walling wall,” rem-
nant of Hebrew glory, symbol of He-
brew fall. Piercing, clear, It heralds a
mighty surge of grief. For from the
gloom of a hundred souls a cry Is
wrung, uncanny In the smiling sun-
shine, writes Marian Weinstein to the
Chicago Dally News. The Jews of
Jerusalem have come to mourn, to
pray. They have brought to their
Father the sting of their newest afflic-
tion, the fresh page In their long
tragedy—the slaughter of their breth-
ren In free Galicia.
The bearded elders In their faded
caftans bend and sway over their
huge tomes. Their .earlocks brush
the yellowing leaves of prayer. Apart
on the cobbled street sit shawled
women, aear, fleshless, resting their
quivering forms against a native hut.
Their younger sisters, old-young wom-
en, press the temple ruin. Now they
fondle the stones and now they clutch
them in despair, choking dry sobs.
Beyond, a girl Is weeping. She has
lived through a Russian pogrom.
There Is a lull In the wall. For a mo-
ment the mass of motley headgear-
skull caps, turbans, fezzes—ceases to
away. But only for a moment. And
now the little Talmud Torah boys
come from their schools, tiny replicas,
with their side curls and long coats,
of their elders. They file In under
their rabbi’s eye, a look of awe on
their pale faces.
All United in Mourning.
Jerusalem has forgotten Its squab-
bles. In this hour of prayer and
mourning before their Maker all Jews
are brothers. “A dole, a dole,” a
wretched bundle of rags whimpers
through the crowd. Between two
sputtering candles against the wall a
khakl-clad soldier from the Jewish
battalion pauses to read the call to
this prayer that was posted for days
In the streets of the Holy City, in
Hebrew and In Yiddish.
“Terrible reports come to ns, one
after the other, from Galicia. Ene-
mies of Israel shed Jewish blood
like water. Hundreds of Jewish vic-
tims have been murdered amid all
sorts of atrocities, Countless Inno-
cents, men, women and children, our
people’s most pious souls, have fallen.
In Lemberg alone 108, butchered and
burned, were buried In one grave.
Scores of scrolls of the law have been
destroyed, and such outrages were
committed as In the day of the de-
struction of the temple. All our
brethren In Galicia are In deadly ter-
ror.
“Our elders, therefore, have met
and decided that the whole communl
ty—men, women and children—should
assemble Tuesday at 8 o’clock, Arabic
time, at the temple ruin to read the
psalms and blow the shophar that the
Lord above may take pity upon our
brethren.”
“Ibrahim! Ibrahim!” A shrill cry
strikes the air. From the roof of her
stone hut a swarthy Arab woman calls
her Ron, who has somehow been
caught In the wailing, swaying multi-
tude. “Ibrahim 1”
At the Walling Place.
The Jewish soldier rescues the re-
luctant Ibrahim just as a score of
British Tommies appear in the wake,
of a Moslem guide.
“Here you have the Jews’ walling
wall," he recites in a sing-song. “The
upper stones were built In the time of
the Romans, but the lower blocks be-
longed to Solomon’s temple. Here the
Jews come every Friday to wall.”
The Jewish soldier has recognized
a fellow Jew In an American Red
Cross doctor, standing thoughtfully at
the edge of the praying crowd.
“From what part of the States are
you?” he whispers eagerly. “I’m from
Phllly. I thought you might be, too.”
Down the stony steps leading to the
walling place new figures are ever
hurrying, scurrying. The Talmud
Torah children are leaving with their
rabbi. The weeping girl leans against
the Arab hut now, her eyes half
closed, her lips trembling. The old-
youn; women still cling to the wall as
If the God whose ear they seek were
in Its very stones.
“A dole, a dole," The beggar renews
her quest.
The sun Rinks lower and lower, but
still they come, old and young, the
Jews of Jerusalem. The praying
forms never weury. Ever their cry
rings above the noise of the city, a
centuries old cry.
DIDN’T LET STOMACH KNOW
Simple Mannar In Which a Struggling
Pittsburgher Acquired •
Competences.
A Pittsburgh man, by thrift and
economy, acquired a competence from
a most humble beginning, but until he
related his experience to his friends
In the bank where he did business they
were unable to discover the real secret
of his success. Here Is his story, ac-
cording to the Pittsburgh Dispatch: He
started to work on the South side at $8
per week and was soon advanced to
$10 and later to $12. When he was
marked up to $14 he got married, be-
ginning double team life In two rooms
In one of the alleys nigh to Carson
street. His boss thought so well of
his marriage he added $2 more per
week to his Income. He bought a small
lot In the alley, put up a little house
and ere long was living free of rent
Then he annexed a lot, erected another
house and found himself a landlord.
Another legacy of $2 a week was his
good fortune and at last followed pros-
perity that enabled him to live with-
out dally toll. “Well," said the presl.
dent of the bank, “you have not told
these tellers and young fellows In the
bank the real secret of your success, as
you confided It privately to me," and,
laughing, the man said: “Oh, yes, I
know what you mean. Well, boys,
told you I started at $8 per week and,
believe me, no matter how often
was advanced In wages, I never let my
stomach know that I was on any other
than $8 weekly allowance." This ex-
plained his comfortable bank balance.
Moral: Go thou and do likewise. “Own
a home.”
Cultured Hindu*.
In Bengal there are about seventy
millions of people, and they boast of
perhaps the best culture In India
the present time. The language as
written language Is only fifty years
old. Though for over a thousand
years It has been a dialect, there Is In
Indian history unfortunately no trace
of Bengali having been an Important
literary tongue. The language has
borrowed Its alphabet, grammar and
vocabulary. There are numerous Per-
sian, Arabic and English words Incor-
porated In It, and the wonder of It Is
that, Instead of having been degraded
Into some vulgar form like pidgin
English, Bengali has become the most
literary, scientific and perhaps the
most philosophic of modern Indian
languages.

The exact data upon which a man
may appear each year wearing a straw
hat has ever been the subject of con-
troversy and considerable personal
dnrlng. Generally In the Pacific coast
states the early dnys of May bring out
a few of the summery headpieces, but
Alaska—popularly believed to be a
frigid zone the year round—this year
set the record, it is thought, in the
wearing of the first straw hat. On
April 26, considerably before straws
appeared In Seattle, Road Commis-
sioner Robert Sheldon started the
straw brigade.

Workmen Marooned High In Air.
A violent windstorm recently swept
across Great Salt lake, and overland
Into Ogden, which It coated with
a thin layer of salt. Buildings,
pedestrians, sidewalks and automobiles
were all “salted” impartially. The
only real damage done, however, was
in the destruction of a 200-foot scaf-
fold around a concrete grain elevator.
Six unfortunate workmen, who were
on top of a finished part of the eleva-
tor, 100 feet In the air, at the time of
the collapse, were completely marooned
until rescued with extension ladders
by the local fire department.—Populaf
Mechanics Magazine.
Personal Illustration.
The master of a Glasgow school was
presiding over the reading lessons of
the third standard when the child
whose turn It was to read came across
the word “hireling.”
“What Iff a hireling’?” asked the
teacher.
The boy thought for a moment or
two, and then replied, “I don’t know.”
The question was next propounded to
the entire class, with a like result.
The master then explained the mean-
ing of the word as lucidly as he could,
and, at the conclusion of his expla-
nation, repeated the question.
"Please, sir," replied the boy ad-
dressed, “you’re s hireling; you’re
paid to teach us."
Worth Seeing.
“Lady outside wants to see yon."
"I wonder If she’s worth seeing?”
“She Is. Blue eyes, golden hair, per
feet figure. Oh, boy!”—Louisville
Courier-Journal.
Quite Naturally.
"How did the play about the amir
leur cook pan out?"
“Oh, It had a lot of good role*."

It takes a lot of salve to turn a hu-

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised (or the purpose of making
thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck
and butt, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by tbt
soft curved
lines of health
and beauty,
there are evi-
dently thou-
sands of men
and women
who keenly
feel their ex-
cessive thin-
ness.
Thinness and
weakness are
often due to
starved
nerves. Our
bodies need
more phos-
phate than 1*
contained In
modern foods.
P h y ■ 1 clans
claim there 1*
nothing that will supply this deficiency
so well as the organic phosphate known
among druggists as bltro-phosphate,
which Is Inexpensive and la sold by most
all druggists under a guarantee of satis-
faction or money back. By feeding the
nerves directly and by supplying the body
cells with the necessary phosphoric food
elements, bltro-phosphate should produce
a welcome transformation In the appear,
ance; the Increase In weight frequently
being nstonlshlng
Increase in weight also carries with It
a general improvement In the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should soon disappear,
dull eyes ought to brighten, and pale
cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect
health. Miss Georgia Hamilton, who was
once thin and frail, reporting her own
experience, writes: "Bitro-Phosphate has
brought about a magic transformation
with me. I gained 15 pounds and never
before felt so well."
CAUTION:—Although bltro-phosphate la
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. It
should not. owing to Its tendency to In-
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

This being true, it is easy to believe
that by keeping the kidneys and diges-
