Lift off Corns!
Doesn't hurt a bit and Freezone
costs only a few cents.
With your fingers! You can lift off
any hard corn, soft corn, or corn j
between the toes, and the hard skin
callouses from bottom of feet. |
A tiny bottle of "Freezone" costs I
little at any drug store; apply a few
drops upon the corn or callous. In- !
stantly it stops hurting, then short- !
ly you lift that bothersome corn or !
callous right off, root and all, with
out one bit of pain or soreness. !
Truly! No humbug!

quarantining of the nearly 5,000
officers and men on their arrival at
Camp Mills and the segregation of
138 "war brides" under care of the
Red Cross after they were landed at
Hoboken.
A Filipino mess boy was found to
have developed a mild case of the
disease after the vessel left France,
and he immediately was quaran
tined with his three Filipino com
panions in the ship's hospital. Then
all persons on board were vacci

j 25 enlisted men of the Third Army

turned.
Naval officers who returned on the
Mobile reported 24 transports at
Brest waiting for troops to bring

Y. M. C. A. PERFORMED
HUGE WORK DURING
WAR, FIGURES SHOW
New A'ork, July 28. —First detailed
accounts of the receipts and expendi
tures of the Young Men's Christian
Association, made public here by the
organization's National War Work
Council finance committee, show that
$125,282,859 was received by it be
tween April 26, 1917 and March 31,
1919. Total expenditures aggregated
$97,817,005 in the period named, it is
stated, leaving a balance of $27,-
465,854, a sum estimated to be suf
ficient to carry on the work here and
abroad until next December 31.
According to the figures, which ap
pear over the signatures of George
I W. Perkins, chairman of the coramit
i tee, Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer
lof the War Work Council, and H.
iW. Wilmot, comptroller, slightly
more than two percent of the total
j funds contributed by the American
public were expended for religious
purposes in the United States and
overseas, while approximately 80
per cent was devoted to the purchase,
transportation and distribution of
canteen supplies and to entertain
ments, education and athletic sports.
Other Merchandise
In addition to the provisions of
free athletic supplies, which included,
among other things, in the United
States camps alone, 557,096 baseballs
and 20,000 sets of boxing gloves, the
report saysi the Y. M. C. A. distri
buted $36,832,449 worth of mer
chandise. Of this merchandise, sl,-
947,771 worth, or approximately five
per cent was given free to the sol
diers.
Of the $37,817,005 expended, it is
shown, more than $30,000,000 was
spent in the home camps, more than
$43,000,000 with the American Ex
peditionary Force abroad and $14,-
409,175 for work with the Allied
armies and prisoners of war. The
balance went for transportation and
other expenses. The statement ex
plains that the "Y" suffered a loss
of $1,478,084 in the operation of army j
post exchanges and canteens which, j
HAJRRISBTJR,G TELEGRAPH
owing to the depreciation In values
of French and English currency and
conversion of the overseas figures at
market rates, resulted in a book loss
of $2,432,089,
The report, the committee makes
clear, is not final because the war
service of the Y. M. C. A., which
reached its maximum in March of this
year, is being continued in the United
States and foreign countries. Three
war work campaigns for funds, it
points out, brought from the Ameri
can public $123,254,052, and this
amount, the report states, was
augmented to $125,282,859 by sums
from other sources.
07,000 Concerts
Some idea of the magnitude of
the work accomplished by the or
ganization is shown by the state
ment that more than 97,000 concerts,
vaudeville performances and other
entertainments were staged by the
"Y" in American cantonments to an
aggregate audience of 43,500,000 at
a cost of $1,166,767. In additiog,
free motion picture shows in the
home camps necessitated an outlay
of $2,328,271.
Erection of 950 hwts for men in
training camps on this side cost $7,-
698,984 and the outlay for mainte
! nance was $3,965,736. "These build
j ings," says the report, "were centers
,of religious, educational, entertain
ment and athletic activities for all
1 men who passed through the camps
on their way overseas or who used
the centers through the period cov
ered by the report and are still
using them."
Overseas, the statement says, work
of even "a vaster scope" was accom
plished. The 1900 or more "Y"
huts and tents built or leased for
the use of the A. E. F., cost $4,-
801,271, were equipped at a cost of
$2,950,421 and operated and main
tained at a further expense of sl,-
014,337.
Big Hut Facilities
Writing materials and newspapers
for the overseas men, including 400,-
000,000 sheets of letter paper, half
as many envelopes and 16,000,000
postcards, cost $2,296,88. For mo
tion picture shows, in which 13,000,-
000 feet of films were used in France
alone, and spectators aggregated 60,-
000,000, the "Y" paid $1,066,757.
More than 34,000 concerts and en
tertainments increased the expendi
ture by $850,969.
The cost of the "Y's" overseas re
ligious program was $467,584, or ap
proximately, two-fifths of one per
cent of the entire operating funds.
Educational plants, literature and
library work cost $991,932 and the
A. E. F., athletics cost $1,957,301.
The organization also operated, it is
explained, more than 25 "leave
areas" in various parts of France,
at an expense of $831,601 and a
chain of hotels for men on leave at
a cost of $477,956.
In the United States, it is shown,
the organization expended $2,105,-
816 upon its religious program in the
six military departments, which in
cluded the holding of meetings and
Bible classes, the distribution of
literature and the maintenance of
religious secretaries and musical di
rectors. Educational literature, to
gether with lectures, instruction in
the French language, and library
service, was provided at home by
an expenditure of $1,192,737 and for
sex hygiene education and literature
the "Y" spent $73,704.
Y. M. C. A. stationery for the
home huts, together with the finan
cing of camp publications, resulted
in a further expense of $923,629, in
cluding the purchase of 270,000,000
envelopes and twice as many sheets
of writing paper. The "Y," it is
said, also spent for its territorial
war work, in the Canal Zone, Porto
Rico, the Philippines and other ter
ritories, $260,634; in the munitions
and war industries, $192,388, and
in the Students' Army Training
Corps, $442,461.
Of the $16,042,695 spent for the
armies of the Allied countries, it is
shown, France received $6,738,744,
Russia $4,805,985 and Italy $3,139,-
951. Work among war prisoners
cost $1,058,591. The latter sum was
divided as follows: Germany, $117,-
988; Denmark, $99,087; Austria-
Hungary, $146,812; Switzerland,
$247,950; Turkey. $56,206, and in
other countries $390,545.
Motor Truck Service
Transportation of comforts and
luxuries to the canteens and sol
diers in the field, it is shown, repre
sented a considerable item, the in
stallation of a motor truck service
cost $2,702,034 and its operating ex
pense $1,170,761. This included the
cost of distributing Christmas gifts
and the conveyance of entertainers.
The cost of selecting, recruiting,
training and paying the sustenance
and traveling expenses of all the "Y"
secretaries was $3,056,502. Admin
istrative, general activities, cam
paign and publicity expenses dis
bursed in New York were said to
have totaled $3,164,802.
In accounting for the balance of
$27,465,854 as of March 31, 1919, the
statement lists asserts of the War
Work Council on that date as $43,-
333,166. These included, it is said,
$8,438,881 cash on hand; and assets
overseas amounting to $18,761,676.
Canteen supplies on hand and in
transit on that date also included,
it Is said, goods to the value of $5,-
992,591. Outstanding accounts, in
cluding unpaid pledges to the United
War Work Fund, were said to ag
gregate $9,735,366.
"On the same date," the statement
concludes, "current liabilities and
reserves amounted to $15,867,312,
including $2,792,964 in bills and
salaries due in the United States and
$6,594,720 due overseas. There was

ceived from the men of the A. E. F.,
for transfer to the United States. It
owed the British, French and United
States governments, for transporta
tion and supplies $3,022,538."

OLD FLOGGING
CUSTOM EXISTS
Students in the British Col
leges Retain Old
Practice
London. July 28.—The old custom
of flogging students is still in vogue
in British colleges, whose students
are as old as the average American
college man. The custom is most
followed in the higher class institu
tions, so that to have been flogged
at school or college is said to be the
mark of an aristocrat.
I At Cheltenham college the students
hazed Barnwell, the former tender
of the college baths because he had
deserted the baths, for higher wages
In an aircraft factory. They bom
barded Barnwall's house with bricks.
Thereupon, Barnwell's workmates,
with several hundred of the populace
inarched to the college and told their
story to the principal, Archdeacon
Waterfiell. It was agreed that the
students should pay damages and be
flogged by the Archdeacon. This
