 This is the third in 8 series or cen1- onstrations to be given in St. John's hall and judging by the increase in attendance. they are proving their popularity.
 At the meeting a.snotice was given of the patriotic food exhibit to be held in the hall March Sand g. One of the main objects of the exhibit is to bring before the public the necessity for conserving wheat, meat, sugar and fat, and to give the women a chance to exchange recipes. Since the new fifty fifty ruling in regard to the buy ing of wheat, many have wondered how they could use such a large amount of substitutes. The exhibit is to help out in regard to this, and to show that it is possible to conserve and at the same time have the proper amount of nourishment supplied in an attractive, appetizing way.

Coroner Arthur G. Bill of DanieIson was in this city Thursday morning to conduct an inquest relative to the death of Henry Ravenelle whose body was found floating in the canal near the plant of the Manhasset Manufac- turing company Wednesday afternoon.
 Mrs. RaveneIle, wife of the dead man, was called and testified that her husband had left their home early one Saturday afternoon in the first part of November. last, and that he had not been seen nor heard from since that time, excepting for a report that he was in a saloon on Elm street a short time after he left the house.
 Evidence showed that Ravenef1e had been drinking considerably for sev- |eraI weeks prior to his having disap- peared. Evidence given by Mrs. Rave neIle was corroborated by boarder at her home.
 It is assumed that Raveneiless drowning was accidental, and this be- lief Is shown by the return entered On the death certificate.

HIGH HEELS PUT
 CORNS ON TOES
TELLS WOMEN HOW TO DRY UP A CORN SOFT LIFTS OUT
 WITHOUT PAIN

Modern high-heeled footwear buekies the toes and produces corns, and many of the thousands of hospital cases ot infection and lockjaw are the result of woman's suicidal habit of trying to cut away these painful pests.
 For little cost there can be obtained at any pharmacy a quarter of an ounce of a drug called freezone, which is sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or caflus without tht slightest danger or inconvenience.
 A few drops applied directly upon the tender, aching corn stops the sore ness and shortly the entire corn, root and alI lifts right out. It is sticky substance, which dries the iilonteft 1t is applied, and thousands of men and women use it because the corn shrivels up and comes out without if1ffan1ing or even irritating the surrounding tis- sue or skin. Cut this out and try it if your corIIs bother you.

 1 Suction Pipe Repaired.
 Employees of the city water depart 1 ment were engaged Thursday in re- pairing the big suction pipe through which water has been pumped from Little river, through the auxiliary sta- tion recently established into the city mains.
 The breaking up of heavy ice i11 tthe river Wednesday caused the pipe
 to snap off. The pipe was put in only a few days ago, when the ice on the river was approximately two feet thick.
 l Mayor A, W. Marcy said Thursday jafternoon that the new pump ordered lsoTne time since for the pumping sta- ltion at Harrisviae had arrived during the day. This pump will be put into lservice as quickly as. possible.
 Thursdays extreme cold weathei brought return of conditions that icaused the water pipes to freeze by lscores throughout the city during tht past few weeks. Main street. where Ia hole was drilled through the pave iment to release water from a broker main, was coated with ice Thursday. Notwithstanding all of the water ltroubles of the past few weeks, tht lweatller man was doing more stunt:
 on Thursday that threatened further difficulties, but there was consolation
 in the promise of the weather burear
 that the present cold wave will be O lshort duration.

Sul- livan, in hopes of locating MT. Ratf- bone. The chairman finally learned that the somewhere" was in France, and the following letter, received on Monday, Feb IS, tends to show what one soldier in France thinks of the folks in his home town:
 Trance, Jan. 26. Mir Sullivan:
 Dear Sir:-T received your letter and the $10 all right. Jan. 8. That is pretty good time considering some let- ters are two months on the way. Fitchville did pretty well to raise $50 at one pull!
