Foot Troubles
This new discovery, made from a
Japanese product, is certainly a won
der the way it draws out inflamma
tion from a pair of swollen, burning,
acliing feet. It takes the soreness
right out, then the corn or callous
shrivels ana lifts off.
Hard corns, soft corns or corns be
l ween the toes, just shrivel up and
lift off so easy. It is wonderful. Just
think! Not one bit of pain while ap
plying Ice-mint or afterwards. It
doesn't even irritate the surrounding
skin.
l'ou will never have to cut a corn
again and run the risk of blood poi
son. Say good-by to your old corn
salve, plasters and bundling tape for
that pet corn of yours is sure to be
h "goner" if it over feels the magic
touch of Ice-mint.
It imparts such a delightful, sooth
ing .cooling feeling to the feet that
you will sigh with relief.
Ice-mint is the real Japanese secret
for tine, healthy little feet. It pre
vents foot odors and keeps them
sweet and comfortable. It is greatly
appreciated by women who wear high
heel shoes.
Just ask in any drugstore for a lit
tle Ice-mint and give your poor, suf
fering, tired, swollen feet the treat
of their lives. It costs little and
there is nothing better.—Advertise

the town was tagged by the kiddles
from the first to fourth grades who
gathered in the sum of $105.75,
Which was more thab the sum need

fund to help buy materials.
So enthusiastic are the young peo

on Friday afternoon in the gram
mar school taught by A. A. Arnold,
and completed 110 shot bags. Girls
who were not engaged In this work

of the pupils returned a half hour
earlier to the school in the afternoon
to get a good start. The energy and

OLD PENN STATE
SPIRIT REVIVED
When Picture Theater Man
ager Secures State Police
Students Start Things
Bellefcinte, Pa., Feb. 18. —At last
has the true Penn State spirit re
vived at the Pennsylvania State Col
lege, and as a result, or perhaps as
the occasion, things have been
popping at the college towh near
hero during the past week. Ever
since the fall term opened. State
College has been depressed by the
exigencies of war. and the students
have fuller: to respond to college
spirit owing largely to the fact that
largo numbers of the student body
are now in active military
The loss of friends and college
chums has cast gloom and lack
interest among those remaining.
Recently, however, a new man
ager of the two motion picture the
aters in the town advertised on the
screens that ho intended enforcing
strict order among the college ho>s
who nightly attend the plays, the
situation becoming acute an even
ing or two ago when the boys, in
answer to the challenge, Invaded the
movie houses with mouth-organs,
mandolins, guitars, ulteleles a n
alarm clocks, the music of w "*
they accompanied with cat-calls and
jeers at the management.
The manager might have laughed
the matter off, but he was adamant
and night before last ho had three
state policemen on hand to enforce
order. As the "state cops" paraded
down the aisles of the theaters the
student-i silently got up behind them
and left the theaters. The news
spread ai d within a few minutes a
crowd of 2,000 students had as
sembled and in a goqd-uatured
manner subjected the "state cops
to a lot of raillery and proceeded to
raise merry cain.
The "s'udes" lost no time In
securing a quantity of paint and dur
ing the night signs protesting against
the movie management were strung
up throughout the entire town. A
branch college clothing store, con
ducted Ly the proprietor of both
movie theaters, came in lor its share
of decoration and artistic merit ran
riot with ingenuity in the gratuitlous
decoraticn supplied to all three
places by the students. Capping the
"red night" the manager was hung
in effigy on the college campus.
The students considered theientire
affair £> righteous protest against
the "canning" of the old movie
manager and the matter . would
likely have been dropped, but the
new management saw things in a
different light and on Thursday the
state porce arrested two students
who had been recognized in the
crowd of 2,000 celebrants the night
before, namely, Howard H. Wilson
and Richard T. Dolphin. Both young
men happen to be exceedingly pop
ular with tha student body and
when the news' spread that they
had been- "pinched" a mob of 1,500
students assembled in an ugly mood,
though no violence was attempted.
The two young students will be ac
corded a hearing before Justice of
the Peace Kline Woodring of Belle
fonte, to-morrow evening, for whjch
they both entered bail.
Sentiment at State College favors
the student body and on l<>iday
evening "The Lone Wolf" played to
practically empty houses. It is pre
dicted that both movie houses as
well as the store will be for sale.
