I SAVE DAD'S LIFE i GET IT FOR HIM | ; • i • Says it is suicide to cut corns j and tells how they lift i right out. i . ? Ton simply'say to the drug store man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone." This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one's feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should re lieve the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted out with the lingers with out pain. This new drug called freezone is nn ether compound discovered by a Cincinnati man, who says that while I'reezone is sticky it dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irri tating the surrounding tissue or .skin. Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whittling at his corns, but cut this out and make him .try it. 432 Market Street I United State* Fjd Ailiuinln (ration IJcrnae Number 3r..TJ."

The day's advices in dicated again . that Field Marshal Haig's men were obeying to the let ter his call for unyielding resistance. The weekly review published by the War Department, although it car ried operations only up to last Sat urday, showed that War College opinion saw, then Indications that the German wave was reaching its crest. In Allied diplomatic and military cir cles the same impression prevailed yesterday, strengthened by more re cent reports from the front. Dispatches indicate that the fiercest fighting is on the northern line of the new salient driven into the Brit ish front north of Arras. The struggle for possession of Nouve Eglise and towns in that region looks to observers here like an ef fort by the enemy to force a way behind Ypres and the consequent abandonment of that place and a withdrawal of a large section of the British line. The Germans were in possession of Ncuve Eglise by last accounts, but they had previously captured it, only to be driven out again. The situa tion bad not stabilized on this par ticular front further than to show that the enemy is meeting with stub born resistance to his effort to widen his lighting front to the north. Time Helps Allien Kvei:,v hour gained by the British in holding this ground means in creased probability that they will hold it permanently. Time allows the assembling of supporting forces in sufficient strength to meet any shock. Or should a withdrawal and realignment on better positions be judged desirable, time will give op portunity for the preparation of these positions. II is possible that the plans of General Foch, commander-in-chief of Ihe Allied and American armies in France, hinge upon developments in this narrow sector of the broad bat tlefront. Such moves as he may be ec ntemplating may well depend, it is said, upon the stabilization of the Allied left flank. On the right the French appear to have succeeded in effecting such a stabilization. Pre sumably any plans for .a counter < ffensive would be dependent upon > these two positions, j There is no question that many of ; fleers here view the situation as se ! rious. They do not all share the hopeful outlook indicated by the War ! College review for last week. Even I if the present, thrust toward Bethune ; is checked, they believe a third as ' stiult at other portion of the British frot is to be expected, com | ing with the suddenness of a storm j from a clear sky. Kxpect llrlve by Auxtrla I There have been many reports in ' diciiting that the Austro-Hungarian | forces were preparing for a drive | I against the Italians. When it will 1 |be started cannot be foretold, but I I some observers think that in case of j I a detinita check to the German move ment the Austrians would launch ! their effort." In that case the scene of opera j tions on the west front might shift 1 far to the south to the area where I American troops are on the front. I The railway function through which 1 French or British forces sent to | Italy naturally would pass lies be- 1 I hind that sector. It is believed pos- | I siblo that the Germans might throw 1 ] their weight in that direction in an | I effort to prevent any support reach- | I ing Italy. DR.
