And now the be- loved prima-donna has made a recording of “The Nightingale Song’’ that is the one most beautiful interpretation of which a record has ever been made. Voice of Gold and Human Nighfingale You hardly know which to marvel at the more: the beautiful call From voice that deepens to a thrilling, gloriously tender tone in the phrase “Once Again!’—the ca 1 sing—or at the response of the “nightingale” itself. ! Never such bird-notes from human source as come from the lips of little Miss Fagan! to the nightingale to low, sweet' trilling to joyous burst of song, they have all the woodland beauty of the ecstatic bird-call that poets have sung about in every age. A Record You Will Love Whatever your taste in music may be, no matter how . simple or favorite. phenome: highly critical, this record is Whether for the sake of the exquisite nally gifted little whistler—whether *““The Nightin- almost sure to be your Voice or the gale Song” appeals to you most or “Listen To The Mocking Bird,” on' tl arare treat and delight. he other side—you are sure to find this record Itisarecord to play to your friends, to hear when you are alone in the twilight, to bring joy to the children—to be the one record of which you'll never tire!

' DEPORTATIONS CONTINUE Americans at Berne Question Reports That Kaiser Has Ordered Exile of Belgian Citizens Stopped. Berne, via Paris, April 5.—An artl- cle in French and Swiss papers ques- tioning the reports that Belgian de- portations have stopped has led Amer- icans here to assert their belief that the reports probably are untrue. They say that in addition “to deporting Belglans to Germany, the Germans have placed many thousands not far from the front in northern France. Belgians to the number of 60,000 or 70,000 are said to be working with- in range of big guns of the allles but in general to have escaped injury as the French are using their big calibred weapons as little as possible in order to save the towns of their Tfellow countrymen. 2 The Americans declare that the only Belgians of military age who are safe from deportation are the throngs who are under arrest on charges rang- ing from esplonage to concealing Bel- gain and French citizens. This num- ber is very large and increasing daily. 3 4 WHITLOCK RETREATS i BEHIND HIS PEN Issues Statement of Appreciation of Treatment Given Him by Germans Before Leaving Belgium., Berne, via Paris, April 5.—Minister.

You 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 relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the enti: oorn, root and all, can be lifted ou with the fingers without pain, This new way to rid one’s feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that while freezone is sticky it dries in a moment, and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without inflaming or even irritating 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 e ———————E—— LUNCH S BISCUIT Crisp-Pure ) Unexcelled : W h o lesome- § ness At All Grocers, ! ; I i ! /a ANOTHER FRESH CAH HORSES WILL ARRIVE APRIL 3rd, 1917, Choicest lot of horses shipp this season.
