That's bad, girls, and you |know it. Corns destroy beauty and [grace, besides corns can be lifted out {with the fingers. Rid your feet of every corn by asking at any drug store for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost little but is sufficient to re- move every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, touchy corn relieves the soreness and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out without pain. This freezone is a gummy substance mwhich dries instantly and simply shrivels up the corn without inflam- dng or even irritating the surround- ing skin. Women must keep in mind that «<orniess feet create a youthful step which enhances her attractiveness. JAY M.

Russian Commerce. Recent events in Russia lend inter- est to a statement compiled by The National City Bank of New Pork, showing the trade of Russia with the United States, and with her nearer neighbors in Furope. The figures show that despite the rapid growth of our trade with Russia prior to the war we supplied less than 10 per cent of her imports, and took but about 1 per cent of her exports. Of Russian exports in 1913, aggregating $760,000, 000, over one-third went to German: and of her imports of that vear, ag- gregating $687,000,000, practically one: half were drawn from Germany. Great Britain ranked next to Germany as 2 market for Russian merchandise and s a source of her imports, while the \enxcflnnfls held third rank in her The | the countries from which Russian im- ports were drawn In 1913, and four- teenth in the list of countries to which the exports were sent. Russian official figures show that merchandise from the United States formed 9 per cent of her imports in 1911, 8 per cent in 1912 and 6 per cent in 1915, The total exports from the United States to Russia have grown from 10,000,000 in the fiscal year 1900 to 318,000,000 in 1910, $23.000,000 in 1912, 526,000,000 in 1913 and $51,000,000 in the fiscal year 1914, all of which pre- ceded the beginning of the war. In 1915 the exports to Russia jumped to $61,000,000, in 1916 $310,000,000 and in the fiascal year 1917 just ended $558,- 584,000. This increase since 1914, while largely war material, includes also railway supplies and material, automobiles, metal working machin- ery, leather and manufacturés thereof, copper, steel rails, railway cars, wire and miscellancous manufactures of iron and steel. The imports from Russia since the beginning of the war have fallen to an extremely low point, having been in 1913, the year preceding the war, $29,000,000, in 1914 $23.320,000, in 1915 3,394,000, in 1916 $5,917,000 and in 1917 $9,484,000. ‘Agricultural implements, binder twine, manufactures of iron and steel machinery, copper, railway material and supplies, automobiles, boots and shoes and material for their manufa DONT FUSS WIH MUSTARD PLASTERS! usberol Works Easier, Quicker " S mgrbut the Blister Msmmmmfimflflm“ ‘mustard, flour and water when you can in, soreness or Stifiness PLANTING TIME ORDER YOUR FLOWERS AN{ Mrs. Peter Jackson and daughter|and other spirits 1 shilling 8 pence to Vem were Putnam visitors Wednes- | 2 ahmmgs 1 penny per gill.
