New Corn Remover in Big Demand Says Druggists Since the virtues of ice-mint as a corn remover became known in this country druggists have been having an extraordinary demand for this pro duct and it is predicted that this slim mer women will wear smaller and prettier shoes than ever. The fact that this new discovery which is made from a Japanese pro duct will actually remove corns—roots and all—and without the slightest pain or soreness, is of course, mainly responsible for its large and increas ing sale. You apply Just a little on a tender, Helling corn and instantly the sore ness is relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled that it may be lifted out with the fingers—root and all. Ice-mint is a clean, creamy, snow white, non-poisonous substance and will never inllame or irritate the most tender skin. Cutting or paring corns often pro duces blood poison and people are warned to stop it. Just ask in any drug store for a small Jar of ice-mint which will cost little yet is sufficient to rid one's feet of every corn or callous. You'll like it Immensely.—Advertisement.

HOPKINS & SON, New York IIIUIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIUUIUIIIU iTTURSDAY EVENING, LEGISLATURE RAILROAD MEN WRITE GOVERNOR Ask Him to Stand Against the Bill to Suspend the Full Crew Law Operation Members of .the legislative boards late yesterday addressed a letter to Governor Brumbaugh protesting against the McKee bill to suspend the full crew law. , The letter was as follows: "Our Dear Governor: "We aro prompted to address you relative to the proposed act of assem bly suspending the so-called Full Crew Bill during the period of the war and for six months thereafter. "Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in addressing you stated that he did so in his ca pacity as a member of the committee of Railroad Executives in co-opera tion with the Counsel of National Defense. For the same reason '.hat Mr. Rea alleges should prompt you to favor the suspension of the Full Crew act of assembly we adopt and advance as among our reasons for the retention of the Full Crew act— to wit. We also realize 'the supreme importance and necessity of utilizing to the utmost in the present emer gency all the man power that the State and Nation possesses and that the present period is radically dif ferent from the ordinary conditions existing before the war." "Are we mistaken in our judg ment of real genuine patriotism? Is it patriotism for a railroad president, a member of the committee of the Railroad Executives properly called upon to render assistance to the committee on national defense to first give expression to the thought of the railroad system of which he is president and suggest that the so called Full Crew bill on the statute books of Pennsylvania be suspended? Experience and the test of thorough trial has shown that the so-called ex tra man is a necessary member of a railroad crew on all of the larger trains both freight and passenger un der all conditions. How much more necessary is this one man needed in the time of great national strain? The railroads have asked the gov ernment to spare the drilled and ex perienced soldier to guard their property—the roadbed, bridges and culverts. The railroad men by rea son of their training to both hard ships and dangers do not hesitate at this time to offer their services to the country. The entire train crew provided for by statute can be sworn into military service and perform the service of guarding the trains and every service necessary in the pro tection of the railroads while on duty. "We do not understand the phil osophy of suspending a good thor oughly tested law for the purpose of securing inexperienced men for the military service and taking from the military service experienced men. Tho power now rests with the gov ernment to take many of the young men from the service. Their em ployment is not a protection under the selective conscription act of Con gress—do the railroads expect less danger and trouble in operating their trains during the war? The oper ation of the trains carrying soldiers and the traffic by reason of our war are to be safeguarded and more so at this time than during the peace period. "In our preparation for war is this not the time for the adoption and preservation of every appliance both mechanical and human for the pro tection of our citizens, soldiers and traffic upon the -great railroad sys tems of our country? "In view of the above statements of fact, therefore, we beg of you' in behalf of organized labor that you do not accede to the request con tained in the letter of Mr. Rea and use your Influence to secure the pas sage of tho McKoe bill. On the other hand wo most earnestly Implore you to maintain your stand as the friend and champion of labor and do what you can to maintain tho present law on the statute books of our Common wealth. "We beg to remain, "Yours very respectfully, "S. R. FARNER, "Order of Railway Conductors. "G. B. ROWAND, "Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, State Legislative Boards."
