THE SHOES 1 CAN'T WEAR All Because of a "Touchy" CORN : you can wear them, Madam --and now. | Simply place on that corn a little Blue-jay plaster, and never again will you feel it. In two days there will be no corn. It will disappear for good. Millions of women know that. They don't pare corns. They don't use old-time methods. And they don't suffer. eb a com they end it. We are ar to join them. Corns are needless since Blue-jay was invented. So they are absurd. You can prove in one min- ute that BABY CARRIAGES AND GO-CARTS. (Continued from page 8.) There is a constant stream of pri- vates from overseas units coming-to the Infantry School of Instruction to qualify as N. C. O.'s or officers. The reputation of the school, under Lieut.-Col. D. Barrager, has spread broadcast until now every unit in the district wants to send every man who can be accommodated. The result has been that the only danger to avoid is an overcrowding, which will not develop as long as the pres- ent motto of efficiency first is recog- nized. Great credit must be given to the staff of the school for their wonderful work in training N. C. O.'s and officers, as Kingston's name has gone throughout Ontario for hav- ing one of the best, if not the best, Infantry Schools, 'The following have just reported to the school to take the course: 80th (Belleville) Battalion--E. G. Hudgin. 109th (Lindsay) Battalion--M. C. Brokenshire, G. H, Potts, J. R. Col- ton, 130th (Perth) Battalion--G. F. Crowe, J. H, Bates, 8. H. Powell. 136th (Port Hope) Battalion--K. 0. White, D.

C. H. A,, for the big cabaret that is being held in the City Hall on Wednesday night. Re- hearsals have been held every day for the last week, and the principals have become very proficient. The men at the barracks are very enthu- siastic and filled with prbmises for a most wonderful night's entertain- ment. One thing that has been rather a surprise is the apparent.gck of in- terest on the part of the citizens in the big events. Hundreds of dol- lars should be subscribed without hesitation to the request for funds for this unit. This battery has had pasesd through its hands hundreds of men, and every one of them has left behind many dollars for the citizens. Every . person has bene- fited by these men being here. ---- § A Board of Officers composed as under, assembled at Brockville on Tuesday for the purpose of conduct- ing examinations in connection with the P. 8.

R., who is recruiting for that regiment in Military Dis- trict No. 3, was in Trenton on Mon- day, and secured four men at a ban- quet given some of those who are soon going overseas with a draft. Two men from Kingston joined on Tuesday. The great advantage of- fered by this unit is the fact that ev- ery man sent over so far has been drafted into some cavalry regi- ment, Lieut. W. A. Mouck organized a very successful picnic at Verona on Tuesday for the men of the 146th | Battalion detachment there. Lieut.- | Col. C. A. Low was present, and de- livered an address.

The experience of generations has proved its great value in the treatment of indigestion, biliousness, headache and constipation.

Red Armstrongy the Hamilton pitcher Shag has signed up this year, has failed to report at Warren, Pa. Shag is burning the wires looking him up. Artie Edmunds, the well known Toronto wrestler and boxer, has en- listed. He finally succeeded in breaking into the Toronto Beavers. He was turned down several times on account of a defect in one eye. There is one -spot in Ontario where lacrosse is In for a good sea- son this year, and that is in the Trent Valley district. Campbellford have already visions of capturing the in- termediate O. A, L. A, honors. Four Indian players, of great renown, have wandered into Campbeliford recent- ly, while a trainer has been secured from Cornwall. Sporting organizations of Canada have done nobly in the cause of pa- triotism, but they will alt have to doff their caps to the North Wakefield Baseball Club, whose team in Gati- neau Valley League has been wiped out entirely*through enlistment. The members of last year's squad are all in khaki. Gunner Willlam Henry Pettit, of the 20th Battery, was killed in acc tion on April 24th. Pettit was a member of the Toronto R. and A. A. Rughby team of 12.14, playing in the scrimmage and on the wing line. Merlin Kopp, the former St. Tho- mas Canadian Leaguer outfielder, is making good with a vengeance at Buffalo. With the International League club he had a big week, pol- ing out a homer on Friday with two on bases, having four putouts, a sto- len base and a sacrifice fly that scored a run. Kopp will be recalled by Washington if he keeps up his sen- sational work. Dutch Schroeder, the big left- hander who pitched for Hamilton early last season, and was given a trial in Ottawa, was stopped at the Canadian border last week when he tried to enter this country to play ball with an independent team at Revelstoke. The immigration offi- cials could swallow the mame of Schroeder at this particular time, and turned "Dutch" back. The French Government has reviv- ed the embargo on the exportation of all horses. About sixty Percherons horses came to the United States dur- fag the short time the doors were that any more will be released until the war ends, horsemen say. Notwithstand- ing the importation of more than 500,000 horses and mules since the outbreak of hostilities, they are be- coming scarce and high in France. Common work horses are selling up to $400 and $500. Probably the most movel method ET seen was students of University, plan.

A Japanese student who happened by copied it inte Jap- anese, and while at work was spied by a German student. who followed suit. The new idea took, and seven- teen other studerts who knew for- eign languages transcribed the origi~ nal announcement on the sidewalk. Canadians are greatly pleased with the work of "Glad" Graney, the St. Thomas boy with the Cleveland club. He has been stinging the ball in great shape, and seems to have taken on a new lease of life, His fielding has also been sensational. Up to date he has had ten home runs, and every day he does something that helps the Indians to victory. He is one of the many Cleveland players who have braced up since Tris Speak- er joined the club. Herbert Shocker will likely draw his walking papers shortly from: the New York American League Club, He has failed to make good-im- several starts, and Manager Donovan believes he ncgds more schooling 'The "Yanks," however, will keep a stitng on the spithall pitcher. He may be farmed out to'one of the Internation- al league or American Association clubs. As to experience, a New York paper remarked that this was sadly lacking in "any guy who would slip a fast one over the heart of the plate for Napoleon Lajoie." Toronto News: There is one game in this world where the question be- tween the professional and the ama- teur is not of any material differ- ence, and that is the "war game." Two great hockey players went out of Kingston when the first eall to arms was sounded in Capt. George Richardson, one of the greatest ama- teur players that ever wore a uniform for Queen's and the Frontenacs, and Pte. Alan (Scotty) Davidson, prob- ably the greatest forward that ever appeared in the professional game as a member of the N. H. A. Both of these star athletes went down fight- ing to the last, and the question of whether they were amateurs or pro- fessionals did not matter when they decided to enlist. One sometimes gets a little tired listening to these amateur moguls who never do any- thing to help along anything, but simply rave about how much better an amateur is than a professional. J.C. Kofoed, writing in the Base- ball Magazine, claims that "Kid Gib- son originated inside baseball twen- ty years ago while he was captain of Kofoed he Giants and Anson's Chicago Colts were fighting it out. In the eighth inning, with the score 9 to 6 in favor of the Giants, the Colts fill- ed 'the bases with two out, and Jim- my Ryan at bat. "In those days Ryan was one of the greatest sltiggers, and a long hit then was bound to tie the score. Glea- son, ever alert, saw that the compara- tively weak-hitting Decker was next at bat. He ran over to Jouett Mee- kin, who was on the siab, and whi pered something in oo 'Wikon, says " { Ryan had not a chance to touch any {of them. A moment later he fanned Decker, winning the game. It was the first time on record that a twirl- er deliberately passed a man (fore- ing in a run) to take a chance on 4 weaker hitter." Billy Gibson, American representa- tive of the Buenos Aires Government, which will promote a big boxing car- nival in July, yesterday offered Fred- die Welsh, lightweight champion of the world, £25,000 to defend his ti- tle in a twenty-round bout with Ben- ny Leonard in the Argentine metro- polis. Gibson will leave on Satur- day for Buenos Aires, and expects to have « reply from Welsh on Thurs- day. He also hopes to have the sig- natures of some of the best boxers in the United States to contracts calling for their appearance in Buenos Aires during the boxing carnival. Gibson had made big offers to Charley White, of Chicago, Mike Gibbons, Kid Lewis, Jack Britton, and a number of other good boxers, and said that many of them would make the trip to South America. Montreal Star: The death of an old time athlete, "Professor Jim fjteven- son," is announced as having kén place yesterday at the Hotel IMefl af- ter a short illness, pneumonia being the cause. Stevenson came from Brockville and was one of two brothers, both of them athletically inclined. "Jim," after gaining many amateur fictories, turned "pro.", became a trainer for the Montreal Ameteur Athletic Association, and used to coach many aspirifgg amatenr athletes privately. He also used to manage a boxing academy for a while, but during the last few years very little was heard of him in the athletic line. Football has suffered particularly hard through cagualties at the front. Ross Binkley, Art Muir, Bill Jarvis and Jeff Taylor crossed the Great Divide last year and only recently there arrived news of the death of Major Tout Leckie.
