VW LYNCHING AND MERCY WOMAN WHO TOOK | ARE BOTH SUGGESTED FOR CHILD FLOGGER: Justice Russell Receives 200 Letters on Punishment of Man Who Beat Boy. Letters to Justice Russell of the Court of Special Seasions for and against Joseph Martin, @ candy store keeper of West Twenty-ninth street, who is awaiting sentence for horse-whipping @ fowr-year-old child who annoyed him, to pour in to-day. Nearly 200, parts of the city, were re- are strongly against the eamdy man. One or two go so far as to auggest a proper pun- ishment would be an application of “lynch law.” Some say the man should be ‘fed to a post and beaten with @ whip—the same punishment that he inflicted upon the ehild. John Thompson, who keeps @ store at No, 410 Washington street, writes to Justice Russell as follows: “If I were to judge Martin I would leave him go free. I have suffered the same tormenting from ‘youns- asters as The mothers are the ones to blame. If they would look after thelr children such things would never happen, Good lectures should be given to such mothers as cannot take care of their ehildren.” A letter signed “George Clark and John 8, Edwards’ cuggests that Jus- tice Russell have Martin pintoned to a Post and beaten with a four-inch iron pipe instead of a whip. A communication signed reads: If Martin was a negro no tloe could have saved him f “Negro” a mob. Nothing could have saved “A Lover of Justice’ writes: ‘In the olden days a man that did anything like Martin did would have been strung up by the thumbs and then have a good lashing given him. ‘That's what shoula be done with Martin, I feel it is my duty to express an opinion.” \ . for he is nothing but a brute. | ‘nother woman writes from No. 108 West Qne Hundred and Forty-fourth “Martin should be sent to the pile and put to work mantcuring rooks, You should have no mercy for a man like t' hb rt foster mother, has left woman, o14," name.

The Evening About Your Corns A corn is simply a lump of hardened skin, catised by friction of the shoe, The severe pain is caused by the pressure of this hard lump upon the sensitive nerves beneath. If you remove the pressure, you remove the pain. ‘ A foolish and dangerous way to.attempt to cure « corn is to use “plasters” or ‘cures’ corns. Any chemical or drug strong enough to eat issue Is dangerous to live tissue. Many cases of blood poison- ing have resulted from this practise. Chiropodists treat corns by paring off this hardened skin, but most of them are expert enough to do it saiely. Any one, however,—man, woman or child,—can shave off this hardened skin, with the utmost ease and absolute safety by the use of ANTICOR, the Perfect Safety Corn Shaver, which can be purchased at any Drug Store, Department store, Hardware store, and almost any Haberdasher's, Narber shop, Stationery store, Shoe store, ete., for #5 cents. } This splendid little instrument is wonderfully simple in construction, impossible to get out of adjustment and eo made that it is absolutely impossible for it to cut you. You will recognise all of this the instant you see it. Don't continue to suffer the tortures of corns, when absolute and t relief is in sight. Don't put powerful chemicals on your feet, when ANTICOR will instantly remove the hard center of your corn and atop the pain easily, comfortably and without the slightest risk. Go to your nearest Dealer. They all recommend ANTICOR; so will your Doctor, if you ask him.
