STRIKERS WILL
 HOLD MEETING

The striking bayonet straighteners of the Remington Arms Co.,, will hold a meeting at the Machinists' club to- morrow eveningito discuss the situa- tfon. According to Samuel Levitt, business agent of the Machinists' union. the places made vacant at the Remington factory by the strikers have been filled. but whether or not the new men are turning out satis- factory work is another question. Levitt states that there is a large quan- tity of work piling up at the factory which under ordinary conditions and with, the competent help employed before the strike, would probably be turned out promptly,
 About twenty per cent. of the men who went on strike some weeks ago because of an alleged cut in wages, have succeeded in securing work else- where.

Cincinnati man discovers drug that loosens corns
 so they lift, out.

Local druggists are having a tre- mendous call for freezone, the drug which is said to shrivel a corn, root and all, without any pain.
 A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness at once, and shortly the en- tire eorn., root and all, lifts right out with the fingers.
 This new drug is being dispensed at small cost in quarter ounce bottles, which is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn from cones feet It is sticky Substance which dries at once, and does not iHfiame or even ir- ritate the surrounding tissue or skin. There is no excuse for anyone invit- ing death by infection or leckjaw from cutting their corns n6W.-Adv, <
