Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain
JONES HAS STAR QUARTET OF SOUTHPAWS |
Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the Augers if you
will apply on the corn a few droits of
freezone, su.vs a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get a small bot-
tle of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid one's feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore-
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment It is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift oft your corns and calluses
now without n bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get a small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.—adv.
Wouldn't Hurt Her.
Frances was mischievous, yet when
she wished to send a message to a
friend or relative she Invariably said.
"Tell them I am a good girl." One
day a friend had been visiting her
mother and was leaving for another
city to visit one of Frances' aunts,
and she asked her what she should
tell her Aunt Mary for her. As usual,
Frances said, "Tell her I am a good
girl."
"Why, why," said the friend, "how
can I tell her that?"
"Oh, well," she said, "It won't hurt
you to tell a He."

Water-Waoon Revolutionists.
In the course of a conversation with
one who was In Petrograd at the time,
staying at the hotel which served as
headqunrters for the revolutionary
party, I heard two or three significant
facts, says a writer in the Westmin-
ster Gazette. One throws light on the
morale of the troops who carried out
the coup d'etat. The Hotel Astoria,
three doors off, had served as a nest
for the reactionaries, and was snrked
by order, but when the troops came to
its extensive wine cellars, they carried
every drop of its contents to the street
and poured them Into the gutter.
BEST LEFT-HANDED PLAYERS IN LEAGUE.
"The best quartet of left-handed pitchers in the league" Is the boast of
St. Louis fans when discussing the chances of the St. Louis Americans in the
1917 pennant race. Earl Hamilton, who In 1915 was one of the best young
pitchers in the league, is expected to repeat. Hamilton, whose shoulder failed
him last season, was given a new contract this year with a salary cut, and
Instead of balking went to Cuba, where he trained faithfully. Willie working
against the St. Louis Nationals in the spring series he shot over a few fast
ones which not only baffled his opponents but made Fielder Jones sit up and
smile. The quartet of southpaws includes Wellman, Koob, Plank and Ham-
ilton.
Wellman was forced to quit pitching because of an ailing kidney, and
though he stuck until the middle of May in hopes that he might overcome his
illness, he was finally forced to turn in his uniform and go to his home for an
operation.

Idiosyncrasy of Former Leader
of Chicago Cubs—How He
Called Pitcher Ritchie.
The conversation In a Chicago fan-
ning bee turned to Frank Chance.
"Th- re was a great fellow," said
Artie Hoffman, former utility star of
the Cubs. "I used to travel around
with him, keeping tab on our players,
three or four times a week.
"One night Chance was loafing In the
lobby and insisted on iny remaining
with him to keep him company. We
were all supposed to be In our rooms
by eleven o'clock, but we sat and sat
and sat. Finully It got to be half past
one.
"'Why don't you go to bed, Frank?*
I said. 'If I had as much money as
you, I wouldn't worry whether the fel-
lowi got In on time or not.'
"Chance glanced at the clock. 'Go
to bed yourself,' he snapped. 'You're
breaking rules.' And me sitting up to
keep him company! Can you beat it?
"And could Chance call a fellow?"
continued Hoffman. "Well, rather. I
rethember we had a three-gnine series
with the Giants one week, and Ritchie
went In to pitch for us. He won It.
"Right after the battle Chance told
him he'd have to work the third, too.
Meaning he'd get only one day of rest
In between. Ritchie was willing.
"The night after he won Ritchie
stayed out late, and what he didn't
get In the clubhouse was a caution.
Chance landed Into him proper. He
told him there wasn't a chance for him

to pitch. Then, five minutes later, ho
told Ritchie he had decided to send
htm in.
"Ritchie pitched his head off, and
won, three to one. As soon as the gang
reached the clubhouse Chance dug Into
his locker, before he'd even changed
his togs, and drew out a fat roll of
bills. He stripped two fifties and
handed them to Ritchie.
" 'You're a funny guy,' said Chance,
'but you can certainly pitch.'"

he came over, shook hands, smiled and
said, 'I'm ready this time.'
"Witnesses, Judges, attendants, In
fact, everyone connected with courts,
looked at Miss Moscowltz with great
curiosity at first. Witnesses would not
talk to her, und one day a man walked

really give you cases to try?'
" 'Sometimes,' the little lady an-
