They 11 wrap their toes up with bandages into a package that fills their shoes full of feet and makes corns so painful they've got to walk sideways und wrinkle up their faces. Or they use salves that eat right into the toe and make It raw and sore, or they'll use plasters that make the corns bulge, or pick and gouge at their corns and make the toes bleed. Funnv. Isn't It'' ••GETS-IT" Is the simple, modern won-' fler for corns. Just put .'! drops on. It ? rlp instantly. No pain, fuss ot trouble. The corn, callous or wart loosens and comes off. Millions use nothing else." "GETS-IT" is sold and recommended by druggists everywhere, 26r a bottle, or tent pn receipt of price, by K. Co.. Chicago. lll.—Advertisement.

JAPS IN U. S. MAY BE RECALLED | If Japan Gets Java and Su matra They Will Go There The Hague, Netherlands, Dec. 14. j (Correspondence of The Associated! Press.) "If Japan gets Java and Sum- 1 tra from Holland as a present, the 1 hundred thousand emigrants in the' United States can be recalled, so that' America will also then be satisfied," declares the Japanese ex-minister and 1 publicist, Yusaburo Takekoshi. in ins I latest contribution to a well-known i Japanese review that has served once again to fan Dutch suspicions regard-1 ing the land of the Rising Sun. "I j therefore think that country is in en tire agreement with our policy," he adds. The article is a plain, unvarnished demand by this former Minister of Education that Japan shall take ad vantage of the present favorable junc ture to annex the Netherlands East Indies. "If," he exclaims, "things are allowed to go on as they are going there is every chance that Japan will get as good as nothing for the mobili zation of a big army. I do not de sire that the government shall pur sue a quixotic policy, but I do desire that it shall strike a great blow to secure the safety of the nation and increase its influence, now that such a i fine opportunity offers, an opportunity | which, if allowed to slip by, will not' recur in a century." Should Germany prove victorious, 1 he argues, she will get the British and , French colonies, and Java and Sum tra will also fall into her hands; if the war ends indecisively, Germany will cede Alsace-Lorraine to France in exchange for French possessions like Annum and Tongking, in which case the position of Java ami Sumatra will be seriously threatened; wliilo if, on the other hand the Allies win Great Britain will turn egoist, and in that case again the fate "of those islands will cause Japan much anxiety. "In view of these considerations," reasons Yusaburo Takekoshi, "it is better for ; Tapan to demand Java and Sumatra | from Holland now, for.the powers at i present leave Japan a free hand and do nothing but nurse her friendship and good will." He further urges the necessity of Japan, an an industrial country, hftving more tropical terri tory whence in time of need It can get its raw matrials, and on the j other hand throws doubt on Holland's ; record in the matter of preserving neutrality In its colony, and on its fu- ! ture ability in this respect, thus ren- j dering the East Indies a potential | handy basis for Japan's enemies. . The Dutch press emphatically re | futes all suggestions that the Nether lands has not strictly carried out the i duties of neutrality in every instance, and while not Inclined to exaggerate ! the importance of such solitary ut | terances as the foregoing it considers I it wise that the nation not let this j campaign escape its attention, "waged ■ as it is by a man of influence in Japan j against the highest interests of ou? country." I MRS. MARGARET A. GRAY | Mrs. Margaret A. Gray, 70 years old, died Monday night at her home, 2727 ! Butler street, Penbrook. She is sur -1 vived by six children, Mrs. Philip Del l mas.
