Education Is First.

OF all the things in the world that
are attracting most attention these
days, education perhaps stands first.
There is a decided tendency to get
away from books and to study facts.
It may be thought that this is new
method in educational matters, but as
a matter of fact it is a very old one.
In the essays of Michel de la Mon
taigne there is one on the instruction
Of children which pleads very eloquent
ly and very earnestly against the
prisonlil1e life of the average school
boy and urges the discarding Of books
and the study Of the facts of life.

LAKES OF SODA IN AFRICA
Lake Magadi Consists Of q Solid Block
Of Pure SesquiesrboHate
Of Soda.

If Great Britain succeeds in hold
ing German East Africa, she win come
into possession of one of the greatest
deposits Of soda in the world. England
has already an enormous deposit in
Lake Magadi, which lies east Of Lake
Victoria Nyanza and about $50 miles
from the sea. and consists OF a solid
block Of almost chemically pure ses-
qHicarbOnate of soda with a surface
area Of ut least fifty square miles. 1t
is known to he nine feet deep, and
may be fifty or a hundred.
This lake is generally dry, when It
looks as If frozen. After a rain II is
covered with a layer of strong soda
water. It is fed by many springs, all
charged, and some of them saturated
with soda. This proves that some
where near by there is a far larger
deposit.
Across the border line In German
East Africa are Lakes NatrOn, Egassf
and LawaYamwerie, larger than LIKE
Magadi and formed of almost pure
carbonate of soda. 1t is these that
will become British in the event Of
England winning the German colony. !

 LOCAL LADY
Mrs. r. l.. Wallace, 391 Chestnut St.. This City, Received Wonderful
 Results from Lax-a-Tonc

If you are not known at a bank and wish to get accommodation, the banks will require an endorser. As Lax-a-Tone was not known in New Britain, we did not simply tell the New Britain people what a wonderful remedy we had, although we knew it. We have given you endorsements from reputable people here and let them tell you their experience with Lax-a-Tone. In other words, we have not asked you to take our unsupported word, as we feel if a remedy has merit it can easily be proved, and the proof of the pudding is in the eating. We have given you many endorse nlents of New Britain people and we intend to give you many more and keep on giving them to you until every man and woman in New Britain |. who is suffering from constipation sour acid stomach, gas. bloat, dizzy spells, torpid liver. sick and bilious headaches and those suffering from a un-uown condition of the system with poor blood, blotched skin, bad breath, and furred tongue, is thor oughly convinced that Herbal Lax-a- Tone will help him or her. So do not delay but get in the health column and 1t will suprise you what one bot tie of this remarkably remedy will do.
 Mrs. Wallace says:
 T have suffered severe distress from stomach trouble, would have sour stomach gas, bloat and terrible headaches I needed a tonic badly and am pleased to state that Herbal Lax-a-Tone is a wonderful remedy for the ahOye trOnb1es"
 The Lax-a-Tone man is at the Econ omy New England Drug store, 365 Main St., where he is introducing this remedy to the New Britain public.

Any corn will dry up and lift out says a Cincinnati
 authority.

Let folks step on. your feet hereaf- ter; wear shoes size smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks or pain through you, according to this authority.
 He says that a few drops of a drug called freezone. applied directly upon a tender, aching corn. instantly re- lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain.
 This drug is sticky, but dries at once and is said to simply shrivel up the corn without int1aming or even irri- tating the surrounding tissue.
 It is claimed that @ quarter of an ounce obtained at any drug store will cost very little but is sufficient to re- move every hard or soft corn or cal lous from ones feet. Gut this out especially if you are a woman reader who wears high heels.
