COUNTY CHORAL UNION
War Will Not Interfere With Work,
 Says Mir. StoeckeI.

There has been much speculation as to what effect the war would have upon the work of the Litchfeld county choral union, and rumors have been spread that for the duration of the war, there would be no work by this society. The following letters from President E. P. Jones, of Winsted and MT. Stoeckel, taken from the Hartford Courant and Citizen, respectively, prove to the contl ary.
 October 13, 1917. Dear MT. Jones:

 Very sincerely yours
 Carl Stoeckel.
 Oct. IS, 1917. Dear MT. Sherman:
 thank you for your letter of July 1st, and in reply beg to state that there is no truth whatever in the rumor that the Litchfield County Choral union work will be given up on account of the war. We do not regard this work as a luxury or all amusement but as of the highest educational value to those who take part in 1t and to the general pub lie. 1t works for good citizenship. It brings together people of all shades of religious opinion and it accomplishes the object of making for. the higher things in life. We shall continue to sustain this work as long as we are able to do so.
 I am, very sincerely yours,

LITTLE BIT OLD FASHIONED"

May. Robson, who is coming to the Maha1we Theatre, Ct. Harrington, Mass. on Friday, Oct. 18th in her latest American comedy. entitled "A Little Bit -Fashioned", by Anna Nichols, makes the star part so human, so quaint, so lovable, spontaneous and sensible, that she raises comedy far above mere means to secure a laugh and enthrones it among the world s most powerful forces for sympathy and universal good. To be funny and pathetic at the same time is something not easily accomplished, and Miss Robson is one of the few women of the stage who can be so convincingiy. There is no comedy star with record for the creation oF comedy roles that equals that of Miss Robson, and among the one hundred and fifty or more parts of the kind in'which she has appeared, none has equalled the opportunities of her present role in "A Little Bit Old Fashioned"

He is a musician of some skill, and taught school for the first time this year.
 E. s. Carr who has been distributing posters giving the young mans des- cription, stated that some evidence had been secured indicating that the miss ing man had come to Canaan, but whether he left this town by trolley or otherwise cannot be determined.

ENJOYABLE ENTERTAINMENT
Miss AIthea Clark Scores a Hit in
 Miss Hobbs".

Miss Althea Clark, or the White Lyceum Bureau, gave delightful i'm persona.ion of a clever comedy sketch entitled Miss Hobbs', before a repre- sentative audience at the town hall on Monday evening, This was the first of a number of entertainments to be given under the Mission Circle of the Pilgrim church, the coming winter, aud the keen interest which was manifested spoke we'll for its success.
 Miss Hobbs" is a comedy in four acts, and the lifelike impersonatioi- given to the characters by Miss Clark are worthy of commendation. She has clear strong voice. over which she exhibited perfect control in a manner both graceful and pleasing. The comedy is based upon the quarrel of & newly married couple, and Miss Hobbs, an eccentric young lady who does rot be- lieve in marriage, is the cause of many heartaches, until she, like moet women of her kind, meets the man who is her equal.
 Miss Hobbs finally falls in love with a young man, and just as they were about to get together on the couch, an accident to the lighting system of the town, very considerably happened, leaving the happy couple in total dark ness. The playlet ends with the unit. ing of the estranged couples in clever manner.
 The Mission Circle are to be congTs- tulated on securing such talent as Was shown and thoroughly enjoyed by all present Monday evening. The next number will be the Beverly Esertain- CTS, who will appear on November l6th-

POST OFFICE REGULATIONS
Confusion and Delay Caused by Im-
 proper Address of Soldiers.

There have been many misunder- standings of late, as to the correct way of addressing letters to soldiers at Camp Devens, Aver, Mass. Some of the packages and letters thus wrongly addressed, have been subject to con- siderable delay, causing undue criti. cism of the post office department in general. The draft has affected post office clerks as we'll as every other business, and while many mistakes ara undoubtedly due to inexperienced clerks, the trouble in the beginning is with the sender of the letter or pack age.
 For the benefit of those who are in doubt about the addressing of pack age, we wish to say that letters or other mail matter, intended for the soldiers who have been drafted from this town, should be addressed: "John Doe,-Company, Camp Devens, Mass. |" In all cases, be sure to put your own name and address on the letter or pack age.
 The following information regarding the sending of mail matter by soldiers, sailors, or marines in the service, assgnei to foreign duty has been issued by the Postmaster General:
 Section 4O6, Postal Laws and Regu. lations, is amended by the addition of the following as paragraphs and 4:
 3. Letters written and mailed by soldiers, sailors, and marines assigned to duty in foreign country engaged in the present war may be mailed free regulations as may be prescribed by the Postmaster General. (Act of Oct. 3, 1917, Sec 1100.)
 4. Only such soldiers, sailors, and marines, who are assigned to duty in a foreign country engaged in the present war are entitled under the provisions of the preceding paragraph to mail their letters free, and in order to be entitled to this privilege, such letters shall bear in the upper left COT. her the name of the soldier, sailor, or marine, together with the designation of the organization or unit to which he belongs, as for instance, John Doe Go. O, Fifth U. s. Regiment.
 The particular attention of postmas. ters is invited to the above order, No. 754, amending Section 406 Postal Laws and Regulations. by adding paragraphs B and 4, under the provisions of which all letters written and mailed by sol diers, sailors, and marines assigned to duty in foreign country engaged in the present war shall, upon reaching the office of address, be delivered with out collection of any postage whatever thereon, regardless of whether or not they are rated with postage due. These instructions are applicable to all letters which bear evidence indicating that they are from a soldier, sailor, or marine stationed abroad.
 The substance of this order, is to the effect that no postage Is required on mail coming from a soldier, sailor or marine, in a foreign country, but any one sending mail, whether they are iL the government service or not, i'll this country must attach the required amount of postage.
 There has been much discussion as to whether letter mailed with insuffi- cient postage. would be delivered to the addressee and postage collected. The postmaster informs us that a letter. bearing only two-cent stamp

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR C0RNS
Apply a few drops then lift corns or
caIIuses of with fingers-
no pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, WITHOUT particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is q
compound Of ether discovered by a Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trihe, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the
corns or calluses but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.

EVER .SAL|vATED BY
CALOMEl2. HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.

Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is dam
gerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for so cents large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe
