LISTEN TO TH|S! SAYS CORNS LIFT
 RIGHT OUT NOW


 You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use drug called freezone, which the moment few drops are applied to any corn, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all lifts out with the fingers.
 It is sticky ether compound which dries the moment it is applied anc simply shrivels the corn without in. flaming or even irritating the sur. rounding tissue or skin. It is claimed that quarter of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or cal. Jus.
 You are further warned that cutting at a corn is a suicidal habit. Adv.

PRcMHT TO REGISTER
Young Men Aaswer Presidents caIE- Ali Moved by Spirit of Patriotism Few SIac.<ers.

The shrill shrieE of steam whistles and sirenG on local manufacturing plants and the chorus of bells from church towers and from mills brought home to The people of Danielson on Tuesday morning that the time for the classes called to register for the battle for liberty was at hand. It was a new and thrilling experience to many of this generation, this call to war, and it did not go unheeded.
 Promptly at the hour of seven host of young men surged about the registrars at the town hall, anxious their names in their count-y's cause nd they did what they were called upon to do without fuss or feathers but with right good will and pur- pose.
 Throughout the morning up, to II o'clock the whole force of registrars were kept steadily busy and then came a luH. Throughout the day ev-- erEtfiirg concerning the registration plans moved smoothly anG regC laEly Exceedingly small difficulty was ex- perienced in getting all the ir.forrTfa- tion desired. Young men who rrc- seHted themselves evidently caxnc prA- pared to promptly answer the quea- tions they knew would be ea1sd of them. interpreters were on hand to assist the registrars in getting iIifc~- nation from those speaking foreign languages and gave irvs luab!e service.

There was no stacking upon the part of those who came to register. Every man seemed ready.
 It was considered Tuesday night net unlikely that some y3us1g mar who should have done so did not register Tuesday, but these are few and far between The caecsirs- ur process will bring them to light
 At noon here t1is number regis tered was 275. and early tn the after noon il had TUT v=e:t orer the 800 mark. Different sets of registrars worked in reiiefS. s,, to3t there was always a sufficient fGre-s on hand to keep things Inezs.ne brissiy.

Union St. Jean BaDtiste Among Lat est Subscribers-MiII Operatives and Others Aiding Safes.

From many sources in town come reports of generous subscriptions in the aggregate to the Liberty loan. It is particularly pleasing to those who are conducting the campaign here for subscriptions that so much interest Is being taken by the public at large. Seemingly the publicity work that has been done has had the excellent ef- feet of bringing home to many peo- pie the fact that the bonds represent about safe an investment as there is on earth, and buyers of the issue are coming out from many unexpected quarters.
 At the Quinebaug mills the em- ployes are showing general interest and there is a steady flow of sub- scriptions there. Reports equally en- coura ging are being received from the other mills. It was announced Tues day that the Danielson council of Union St John Baptiste has voted to subscribe for S3,G0O worth of the Lib- erty bonds. This organization has shown it's patriotism from the dec laration of war. promising the ma terial support of it's members in every legitimate way for the successful pros
