thoroughly to prevent soft corns

for tired, perspiring feet.
Rub painful ankles with arnica,

Apair of sandals without backs

A clean pair of stockings should
be put on every day, even if your

TOWN OFFICERS ELECT.
Ed ILLEGALLY ?
SkOwhegan Grunge Hears How Law
Has Been DiSregarded.

That the town officers of SkoWhe-
gan have not been legally elected for
several years past was the astonishing
information youchsafed to his fellow
Patrons by George II. Burns at the
meeting of the Grange Wednesday
night. Mr. Burns quoted the law as
specifying that all votes should be
counted in open town meeting, and
then went on to describe how the
counting was usually done behind
screens, closed doors or something
equivalent. The subject up for dis
cussion was "A Citizens Duty in Town
Affairs, and Mr.. Burns expressed the
opinion that one of the duties at this
time was TO begin to talk. Articles
for the warrant of the annual meeting
also came up for discussion, particu-
larly one relating to the duties OF the
selectmen and assessors The rela-
ton between this and a square deal
for the taxpayers was explained by
