HUSK SOUTHERN CORN dusked Corn Is Freer From Insects 1 And Can Be Stored And Fumigated More Economically. Southern farmers should husk their 1 ar corn in the field and not store it 1 eith the husk on, according to spe- ' ialists of the United States Depart- ( nent of Agriculture. The husks car- ' y from the held to the crib the in- ' ect pests that attack corn, and the 1 amage to the corn is thereby increas- 2 1. It is possible to fumigate huskd corn more effectively at less ex- 1 tense, and a much greater amount of c usked corn can be stored in the f ame crib room. This advice, which is contrary to * le custom more or less general in * ie South of storing corn with the ? usks on, is based on recent investi- 1 at ions. It is found that cribbing s rn with the husks on insures carry- 0 ig practically every insect from the e old to the crib, and it practically c oubios the volume of storage room r Mjuired per bushel of corn. c The amount of carbon disulphid a eeded to treat unhusked corn in opl cribs is much larger than that reuired for husked corn in closed I ribs. Husking in the field will leave ; ( t least three-forths of the insects t n the husks in the field. This will o educe subsequent injury during stor- t ge. i i nere is no neeu tor an open crib a 1 which to store the thoroughly well- li latured corn of the South. Storage r oows must be made tight enough h >r fumigation. The dosage required t ?r l>are ears will he about 10 pounds f carbon disulphid per 1,000 cubic ~ et, or one-half the amount needed ith the husks on. Store as soon as >rn is thoroughly matured and fumi- j ate promptly for best results. If j isect attack develop in the crib treat t' gain, using a heavier dosage. Doing ' ^ he work during warmer weather will ' lcrease the effectiveness of the gas.

Miss Channing is 1 an American who writes of what she t has seen. In order to help in a small way to spread the awful truth of German depravity that threaten.-, humanity, we are publishing some extracts below. A year ago, when the French were still at Verdun and the Germans?to quote the now famous phrase?were "still at Noyon," the most striking thing to the foreigner in France was the attitude of the French themselves toward the enemy. France was invaded; for ulready two years she had been fighting on her own soil the greatest fight in history; her sufToring and her losses hail passed all measure; yet rarely from any source did nnp hpnr n word of hittornov? TVw. t-,.1 dier had always a irncnms phrase * for the soldier's valor?the Boche, * the Hun, was not infrequently Fritz c to the Allied troops; even behind the :1 ranks, where feeling always runs higher and more bitter, there were contempt, dislike, an iron resolution, s but an absence of violent expression. ' "We do not hate said more than one civilian to me. It is not in our tern- c perament. If we learn t<>. it will be ' you Anglo-Saxons who will teach us." In New York I had listened skep- 1 tically to a Herman friend, insisting ' that the French feeling for the Her- c mans was friendly and that the re- 1 grettable incident of the war had hardly disturbed it. That was his thoroughly German reading of the s French containment?an exhibition n small of that Teutonic inability to understand the other man which has made German diplomacy a won- J :ler of the World and will in the end lose that world to the German. But ' he calm of the French people might cally have misled subtler brains?a fear ago. That was a year ago. Today there ' s another tale to tell; there is an- *' ?ther France w:th another temper To- 1 lay the French have learned to hate ' ?and it is not the Anglo-Saxon who ^ aught them; today the German pa- 1 v hctically complains that the very ^ hildren of France are being reared n this hatred of him. And in this tatement, and in the German sense if injury undbr it, we have presentd to us the whole of that psychologial phenomenon which will engage * nen's attention for generations to ^ omc?including, I doubt not, genu^ tions of Germans. s Twentieth Century Hun*. ^ We can deal briefly with the ' o iYeneh half of that phenomenon. ' v Jreat as the change in the French \ emper is, there is nothing mysteri- ; t ius ahout it. France is an old mili- i t ary nation; she has always been be- ! T ng invaded by Germany except when, j ?> s in the Napoleonic past, she was c lerself the greatest invader of Ku- j ? ope. Moreover, the French people v lave no equal in the world for clari- ii y of thought; it is their trait?that u iREAT BRITAIN ADOPTS OUR ANSWER I tl is n very great honor that Eng- * ind has paid President Wilson in this tatement. The official announcement is made hat Great Britain has advised the Jnited States that President Wilson's eply o Pope Benedict's peace pro-1 osal is, in effect, Great Britain's re-1 ty, as indicated recentlyl in a state- I lent by Lord Cecil. The sugar refineries have volunarily placed control of the sutrar in-' ustry in theh ands of the food adlinistration. That is sweet in them. ' r It is said that the President's reply o the Pope made the Kaiser mad. 1 !e has been acting like a madman or three years. ______! , n A Nervous Woman Finds Relief From Suffering. Women who suffer from extreme i nervousness, often endure much J _ suffering before inding any relief. | Mrs. Joseph Snyder, of Tiffin, O., bad such an experience, regarding whtch the saya: "Wt T p was baflfaat with narvoua proatra- I ^ could not ^ w'*>l *** hua- ju lalfilMJIalllflUr band Innlnted on |(( my taking I>r.

MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. ? r> ta \ 1 Y Charming >n which they pride hemaelves, that vhich the world concedes them. With t goes a kind of inevitable justice. ^To mere war, not even the most unjrovoked and aggressive the world las seen, could ever have brought hem to their present state of mind. What then did bring them??what lew thing, since Belgium, since Lou.'uin, since the Lusitania, since Verlun? The answer can be summarized in wo words: Deportations, devastations. Since Verdun France has witlessed the wholesale enslavement of free peoples in the conquered provinces. Since February she has lookid upon her ravished territory and istenC7t to the tales of its liberated nhabitants. All that went before?all the brutal onduct of a war supplanting nc epted polite warfare?all the slayng and ravishing, the looting and mrning, the breaking of faiths, the itrocities heaped to pile up convicion; but the French human clung? is the American human mind still dings?to the desperate belief that ill this might somehow he accounted or by a misled populace, a great outage, we were fond of saying, all oldiers do mud things under its sway. Cot until brought face to face with >rutality organized into a sys'em, ruelty reduced to a science, a coldy calculated and ruthlessly executed irogram for destruction by exrranilitary measures of a whole peopb, ihysically, morally, politically and iconomically, could normal mankin 1 iccept such truth for truth Even now it is rtill our American lelief that deep down ir. the German oul is a kind of imprisoned orotheroul which, as th" President has said, ve dimly feel ourselves conscious of ighting to deliver along with the est of Germany's victims. For this ond belief of ours we are acquiring i o present mcri t? whatever nay be the future of it! The German soul does not desire to >e delivered by us, is not grateful; nd France, polit;'/ tolerant of our niiahle we tkne:*?, Waits grimly fur his fond illusion, too, to be dispelld. If we are rcu'ot-.nblc, we cannot xpeets Europe, reduced to a sham dt>s by the German, to feel otherwise; and certainly if we can be paient with that darkly-enchanted Gernan soul we can be something more han patient with the illumnied sou! f a France blinded, if anything, by xcess of light?that, light which treams from flames of sacrifice and ackward from the starlike track of he escaping soul of Youth. But worse than all material detruction was the destruction of the uman material. The German rule f the occupied territory can be coneyed only by borrowing Mr. Bran I Vhitlock's words concerning the same hing in Belgium?that it is "enough o make one despair of the future."

SELLER I Local Brokerage and Insurance RUBY, S. C. A KEnVDUS WRECK iom Turee Years' Suffering. Says Cardui Made Her WeU. Texas City, Tex.?In an interesting atement, Mrs. O. H.Schill, of this town, )l/Ci '1 Pr*r* lltrno I ~ ,ja. v/i it.fc is i suiicrcu unioia ^ony with my head. I was unable to o any of my work. I just wanted to sleep all the time, for lat was the only ease I could get, when was asleep. I became a nervous wreck ist from tha awful suffering with my lad. I was so nervous that the least noise ould make me jump out of my bed. I id no energy, and was unable to do lything. My son, a young boy, had to :> all my household duties, i was not able to do anything until I ok Cardui. I took three bottles in all, id it surely cured me of those awful ;adaches. That has been three years jo, and I know the cure is permanent, r I have never had any headache since king Cardui. .. Nothing relieved me until I took Cardui. did wonders for me." Try Cardui for your troubles?made am medicinal ingredients recommended j medical books as being of benefit in male troubles, and 40 years of use has ! oven that the books are right. Begin ' king Cardui today. NC-134 I tyranny, the robbery, the brutality? these things must be heard on the spot, and heard thus calmly stated, for the human mind to be able to take them in. When at parting a single halting word of personal syml pathy could not be forborne, we were , begged to remember that our hostess ! considered herself "one of the very most fortunate of all." Such today are the women of France. But the composure of the French people in its totality, the poilus and the civil population, is a thing unique; there is something frightening in it. There is also something contagious. As you live on in France it grows harder and harder to speak or write of the things that are ah- j sorbing everybody's whole attention, j This is not apathy?it is an inner I concentration on an end. Words kill no Germans, we have found, and the German has himself reduced the whole present duty of civilized man to that one tragic necessity. If nothing but killing can save the whole planet from becoming one vast pays devaste, ruled over by the bru- ' tality of Prussian militarism, evidently the stern business must go on, without passion, without malice, until we have killed the necessary number. Not because they are Germans, but because they are momentarily the enemies of humanity. I said it was impossible to pity France, but it is very possible to pity Germany. Pity, however has nothing to <lo with desperate necessity of the moment. Mankind is fiphtinp for freedom; the two ultimate things are engaged! Probably there is not a woman in France today, however penile, who would not willingly go into the trenches and take her share in the killing of that which threatens all motherhood, all womanhood, all childhood yet all the time with a great pity in her heart. Certainly women at all noble-minded would rather go into the trenches than stay behind and incite others to po?our present harder task. Some of us are <1 riven to envyinp our brave Russian sisters. Rut hard or easy matters nothinp now?we are all alike convinced that it is better that not only the German race, but the entire human race should disappear from the planet in a final affirmation of man's will to freedom than to drap on in Prussian chains. Those who think otherwise are those who have not looked on at that Prussian system ut work and who lack imagination to conceive it. They have not seen the people of the liberated regions arrive in groups, dumb and terrible, like hunted animals, almost dehumanized by misery. (if mothers whose young daughters have been torn from them, the tongue lacks language to speak. One wonders, as one listens, that there is a woman left sane where the German army has passed. The War Scars of Women And here let me say, if after this war the women of the world are not heard from, then is all prophecy vain. We hear?hear endlessly?of the valor and the sufferings of the men, and neither can be overstated, but the agonies and valor of the women cannot be stated ?until the war is over. Then some one woman or all womankind will bring in the indictment which the war is silently maturing in the dumb souls of millions of women. The men of the world are preparing to settle that world presently, round a table, by themselves, as they have settled the world down all the ages. Never in that world were the men of the world so loved, ' so admired, so nearly idolized by its ' women as they are at this moment; we can hardly look on them unmoved so ennobled do they seem to us bv their sacrifices, by their devotion to something besides ourselves. Yet if the men think they are go ...... M?M? >V \ ' I I II' I I Willi art' pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from loewjaw or blood poison ^ are now told by n Cincinnati author (ityto use a drug called freezone, | f which the moment a few drops are ap- ( plied to any corn or callus the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, lifts off ( with the fingers. Freezone dries the moment is is an- ^ plied, and simply shrivels the corn or 'callus without inflaming or even irrii i tating the surrounding tissue or skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost ' very little at any of the drug stores, c but will positively rid one's feet of ?' every hard or soft corn or hardened c callus. If your druggist hasn't an v freezone he cun get it at any whola sale drug house for you. 2-Adv. I ' things carried by every man in his heart that makes the Frenchman : now look on the German as he does j ?as something no longer of human j brotherhood?and makes him smile a little bitterly at our innocence, as he regards it, of the Gorman nature. It is not for us to flaunt a superior virtue here?for us who have seen nothing, suffered nothing. For three years the Frenchman has been study- ^ ing that nature at close hand, in its every brutal and lawless exhibition. ' We at most have road?and doubt-, ingly?of those things; he has felt them in the flesh dearest to him. There is no need to exaggerate. Only a fool imagines all the atrocities in this war will have been Gorman atrocities; war begets atrocities in the atrocious exactly as peace does; but the atrocious system is a I'rus sian product-?"made in (J??rniany." Ami here I should speak of another singular feature displayed by the German character in this war, which rarely is spoken of, thouirh widely known, because it can only be decently hinted at. Nevertheless, it out;ht to be spoken of, for it lends further color to the most hopeful view we can take of Germany's case | to-ilay?that there is in it sonic thine profoundly pathological. Wherever the German has hen he has left a trail of filth. Nothin.e has more deeply impr' <>d the French mind than the exhibition of this trait. Settbee Freedom's Fate At:.I tin French are very calm observers. I' is never anywhere the usual costs of war they dwell on; such thinjrs are n entioned with a "Rut that ivrha; - was considered a military virtue - r necessity," and they seize with ap:- '< nt relief upon an act of chivalry; 'Ihe humane surgeon; the sohlier |,Imp- tears as he fulfills a hard order?which yet he always fulfills; the officer who shoots down his own trooper found committing violence. These things urc trraieiuiiv r?-corded. Hut. over and over t'- mind returns to its marvel at the < .ra-barburous ami the superunci ;-n. In all that, so universally ? ? ? , <>11orated, there seems something n >t sane. Such as it exists brutal, unclean, rapacious, and cruel beyond words? the Prussian military system, with all it implies, asks and has asked for three years nothin but opportunity to he applied also '<? America? with the ready co-operation of whatever we have of unassimilated Prussian in our midst. Nothing through these three long years has stood between us and it but England's navy and i he glorious army of France and her allies. American women, American children, have been sheltered beneath the folds of the allied flags. This would be reason enough, were there no other, for calling our own armies and enlisting our youth. American men can no longer rtnnd by while the men, the youths, the mere boys of other nations defend their women, their children, their flag. But it is far and beyond all this. American women and children ?America itself?are hut side issues of the greater matter now; we have long passed beyond the question of saving any country or any group of countries. The fight now is for world-wide things, for the entire huui'n race, for the planet itself? which will not he worth living on if Ciermany wins. Life without Freedom?who would consent to live it? The fate of the far plains of Mis"ouri and K ansas, of the lit if?- mining I town of Montana, of the charmed J coast of California, of all the stately j _V-* You reckloss mon on/1 nr/v^AM ...L_ "Over There" (Continued from previous page) mj ears, and the detonation which instantly followed shook the slanting sides of the shell hole until dirt in little dusty rivulets came trickling down upon me. Wounded us I was, I dragged myself up to the edge of the hole. There was no trace anywhere of the four men who had Just left me. They have never been heard of since. Their bodies were never found. The big shell must huve fallen right among them and simply blown them to bits. It was about a quarter to 7 in the morning when 1 was hit. I lay in the shell hole until 2 in the afternoon, suffering more from thirst and cold and hunger tliun from pain. I only hoped the (Jeriuans wouldn't drive our men back over me. At 2 o'clock a hatch of sixty prisoners came along under escort. They were being taken to the renr under tire. The artillery bombardment was still practically undiminished. I asked for four of the ( prisoners and made one of them get. out his rubber ground sheet, carried around h!s waist. They responded willingly and seemed most ready to help inc. I had a revolver (empty) and some b<>nd?s In my pockets, but I had no need to threaten them.
