Rub a little soothing', cooling ice
mint on those poor, tired, swollen,
burning feet. Ah, how cool, easy and
comfortable it makes them feel. In
stantly corns and painful callouses
.stop hurting and you will want to
dance for joy. No foolishness. Ice
mint will shrivel up any corn whether
hard, soft or between the toes so that
it can be lifted out easily with the
lingers. There is no pain and not one
bit of soreness when applying ice-mint
or afterwards and It doesn't even ir
ritate the surrounding skin. Try it.
Just ask in any drug store for a little
ice-mint and end your foot troubles
for good. It costs little and acts so
quickly and gently it seems like
magic. You'll say so yourself.—Ad
vertisement.
3-Grain Tablet Makes
Flesh.
Any one wishing to add to their
weight, improve their color, and re
store a normal condition of the stom
ach and nerves, should adopt the won
derfully successful treatment known
to physicians and druggists as "3-
grain hypo-nuclane tablets," put up
In sealed packages with full directions
for home use. Red lips, pink cheeks,
and 10 to 30 pounds increase in weight
■re not uncommon results from sev
eral months' usage. Ask your physi
cian or a well-stocked druggist for
them.—Advertisement.
The Builder
Of a House
does not care whether
the lumber is short leaf,
or long leaf, or loblolly.
He wants a strong stick.
A piece of lumber that
i• not strong is a piece that
is weakening the whole
building.
The lumber dealer is re
quired to know the differ
ence between the many
grades of lumber, whether
it is short leaf or strong
leaf, etc.
We have made a care
ful study of lumber and
when we recommend a
piece will give good ser

it doing just as represent

WILLIAM 11. HOWARD
Bell Telephone Company men In
Harrisburg learned with regret to
day of the resignation of W. H. How
ard, division publicity manager, who '
will return to his home town of
Bethlehem to manage the large re-]
tail coal business of the F. G. King I
Coal Company, of which eventually]
he will have a partnership. The j
business opportunity offered was so 1
unusual that Mr. Howard felt com
pelled to sever his long connection
with the Bell Company. He was
first employed by the Bell as cashier
of the Reading district in April, 1907,
and was promoted to be Bethlehem
local manager in.July of that year.
From that position he was advanced
to division publicity manager in
August 1914, which position he has
since held with headquarters in Har
risburg and residence at Camp Hill.

ried on Thursday to Miss Harriet
Mildred Drew, of Illinois, in the!

Catarrhal Deafness
May Be Overcome !
A simple, safe and reliable way
that calls for no ugly trum- .
pets, phones or other
instruments.
To be deaf is very annoying and
embarrassing. People who are deaf
are generally mighty sensitive on this
subject. And yet many deaf folks
carry around instruments that call at
tention to their infirmity. Therefore
people who are hard of hearing, who
suffer from head noises, or who are
actually deaf from catarrhal trouble,
will be glad to know of a simple
recipe that can be easily made up at
home for a few cents' cost that is
really quite efficient in relieving the
disagreeable deafness * and head
noises caused by catarrh.
From any drug store get one ounce
of Parmint (double strength) about
75c worth. Take this home and put
it into a simple syrup made of
pint of hot water and four ounces of I
ordinary granulated sugar. Take a
tablespoonful four times a day.
This treatment should by tonic ac
tion reduce the inflammation in the
middle ear that a catarrhal condition
would be likely to cause and with the
inflammation gone the distressing
head noises, headaches, cloudy think
ing and that dull feeling in the ears
should gradually disappear. Anyone
who suffers from catarrh, catarrhal
deafness or head noises should give
Parmint a trial. It is pleasant to take
and is quite inexpensive.—Advertise

Get Out and Hoe
Garden Says Herrick
Cleveland, May 2.—The country
' would be safeguarded against de-
I liciency of foodstuffs if every able
bodied man and woman in and
around villages, towns and cities
-•should rultivate al! the available
! vacant plots, according to Myron T.
! Herrick, member of the National
Emergency Food Garden Commis
sion. He declares that the produc
tion of food from this source would
| assure abundance of food for all our
i needs.
"It is the duty of all to get busy,"
he said to-day. If you cannot go to
the front, get out in the backyard
and hoe."
Aside from the patriotic side to
| this work, Mr. Herrick explained the
; good returns that can be realized by
the planter on this kind of invest
! ment. ,
j One of the most wonderful suc
| cesses through the cultivation of
small plots mentioned by Mr. Her- i
rick was the case of John S. Ware, I
of Bridgeton, N. J., who produced 1
more than $2,100 worth of vege
tables on one and one-eighth acres
of ground, not counting what was
used by his family.
Bridgeton !s less than one-half day
by freight from New York City. If
all the farm land and vacant city
lots within that distance of the
metropolis were cultivated. New
York would have foodstuffs produced
practically at its very doors in suf
ficient quantity not only for the
needs of its millions, but also with
I a surplus to send to the hard-pressed
people across the Atlantic, accord
ing to Mr. Herrick.
Mr. Ware's example has ben fol
lowed by others in Bridgeton until
the town has become the center of a
veritable garden spot. This outdoor
life, besides being profitable, brings !
health and longevity.
Mr. Herrick suggests that one- j
fourth of a.n acre would be the!
proper amount of land to cultivate |
for a man who has office hours to j
keep.

Carson Resigns as Head
of the British Navy
Hy Associated Press
l..ondon, May 2. Rumors of im
pending cJiuiifjes in tne admiralty
continue current, one of them point
ing to the* early resignation of . c 'ir
Edward Carson. The Times claims
to have authority to state that there
is not the slightest difference between
Sir Edward Carson and his col
leagues, either regarding the naval
policy or any other issue, but adds;
"if Sir Edward Carson should de
sire to leave the admiralty, which is
likely enough, it would bo for entire
ly different reasons. He is being at
tacked on many sides for various mo
tives and, although nobody is more
hardened to criticism, he may con
ceivably feel that the work of the
navy is prejudiced by his proml-
nence in controversies with which
sailors are not concerned." (The
latter expression is accepted as an
allusion to the Irish.)
