WARNS WOMEN AGAINST CUT

Because style decrees that women crowd and buckle up their tender toes in high heel footwear they suffer from corns, then they cut and trim at these painful pests which merely makes the corn grow hard. This suicidal habit may cause lockjaw and women are warned to stop it
 few drops of a drug called freez- one applied directly upon a sore >orn gives quick relief and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain. Ask the drug store man for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. which costs very little but is sufficient to re- from one's feet.
 This drug is gummy but it dries in Ia moment and simply shrivels up the corn without infaming or even irri- tating tte surrounding tissue or skin.

 Just a little talk to you about the great organization we are representing this afternoon, which was organized some 43 years ago. Today it is the most powerful woman's society in the world. In 1874 q states were repre- Sented at the first national convention but only nine were on a paid basis; $3S1 was the sum. Now every state and territory in the United States (and on paid basis of members) and 52 countries, even the isle of the seas. There is no place where the W. C. T. U. is not known, for the work of our can go anywhere.
 Everything that will tend to make the world a better place to live in or to make the people happier comes un- der some department of their work; but to obIiterate the saloon and the iiquor traffic is the cornerstone of the work, for from that come all the other evils. One of the greatest good things put through by us was and is the scientific temperance instruction :. in schools. Now we are seeing the results of the teaching in the children of to- day.
 The postoff1ce amendment forbidding the sending or advertising of. liquors in dry territory and the District of Co., lumbia dry bill, also a bill to submit to the people the. matter of voting on the national amendment. and the na- tional W. C. T. U. has been responsi@ ble for most of these bills, aided by the good men in congress. Two years ago there were nine states: now there are 25, with four more coming soon
 Now about Connecticut. Shall we be the last or shall we be like the OK who goes to be shod-dragged in. You know the process
