After four > years spent in the center of P.irJw^e's ollosal struggle, Pleasant A. Stovail, I'nitoil States minister to Switzeri land, declared on his arrival here 11 that the economic situation in Ger- 1 many is acute, and that he believes n the backbone has been broken. Since the publication of President Wilson's J reply to Pope Benedict's peace proposals, in which the President stated 1 that the United States is warring J upon the German Government, and J not upon the German people, the re- j vulsion against the war, Mr. Stovall i said, has been spreading rapidly through Germany. "The effect of this statement was v for a long time not noticeable," he asserted, "but slowly and surely it is i sinking deeper and deeper into- Ger- | man hearts. If left to themselves the \| German people would make peace to- i morrow. As it is, forces are at work 1 iu Germany which will eventually N no man can safely predict how soon, compel the German Government to make peace with the world. o WOMEN TORTURED!

This is sufficient to remove every hard or soft ^ corn or callus from one's feet. You \ s.mply apply a few drops directly ? upon the tender, aching corn or cai- ^ lus. The soreness is relieved at once I and soon the entire corn or callus, I . I root and all, lifts out without one 1 particle of pain. j This freezone is a sticky subsCT^ice j which dries in a moment. Tt just shrivels up the com without in flam- j ing or even irritating the surround- I ink tissue or skin. Tell your wife I about this. adv.
