Apply it the moment you feel a corn and it never will pain you again, Blue-jay does more than stop the pain. In a gentle way it under- mines the corn, In 48 hours the corn so loosens that you lift it out. About half the people who have corns know that Blue-jay ends them. We want the other half to know. Corns are utterly needless. One moment spent in applying Blue-jay means quick removal, without any pain or soreness. Ask almost anybody. Blue-jay has taken out sixty million corns, so most folks know about it. But nobody can tell you any other way to do what Blue-jay does. Start today to know the joy of never having corns, Blue-jay Ends Corns 15 and 25 cents—at Druggists Samples Mailed Free Bauer & Black, Chicago and New York Makers of Physicians’ Supplies Feith Wi ‘strength, rite pow.

Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson all made the mistake of encouraging the pass- age of too many laws affecting busi- ness.—Thomas A. Edison. With a minimum wage law one of two things will occur: either the em- ployees will give better and more efficient service, thus paying themselves for the increased wage, or the larger payroll will be a dead loss and we shall have to ask the consumer to pay the difference in increased prices.— Percy S. Straus, at the annual meet- ing of the National Retail Dry Goods Association. Transatlantic aerial travel with a dirigible of the type I have constructed is not only possible but practicable. This war has interfered wth my plans. I know that aerial travel will become the quickest and safest method. —Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. I should go so far as to recommend keeping a healthy, normal child in bed one day every few weeks that he might get thoroughly used to it and that the family might not be kept in actual torture when he is really ill—Dr. Charles H, Smith, at the New York Academy of Medicine. The German public looks to profes- sors for its opinions in a good deal the same way that the American public looks to journalists for its opinions.— President Arthur T. Hadley, of Yale. We can imagine no threat, no meas- ure, on the part of the United States which is capable of intimidating Ger- many.—Count von Reventlow, the naval writer, The trouble has been that we have erected a strange abstraction which has been named the criminal. This theory was bolstered up by the claim of Lombroso that members of the criminal class bore certain stigmata which marked them as different from other persons. This was completely disproved by an English physician, who made a study of convicts on the Isle of Wight and found that there were no such differences—Thomas Mott Osborne, warden of Sing Sing Prison.
