Cincinnati man discovers drug
that ioosens corns so they
lift out.

Local druggists are having a ire
mendous call for freezone, the drug
which is said to shrivel q corn, root
and ALL without any pain
A few drops of freezone applied di-
rectly upon a tender, aching corn re-
lieves the soreness at once, and short
ly the entire corn, 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 ones feet. 1t
Is a sticky substance which dries at
once, and does not infanne or even
irritate the surrounding tissue or skin.
There is no excuse for anyone inviting
death by Infection or lockjaw from
cutting their corns now.

SON OF DEMOCRACY
AT THE LYCEUM

Hundreds of school children on
the advice of their teachers and with
the assistance of their parents have
viewed the great master picture, My
Mother" the first of the SERIES 1.-THE
Son of Democracy" telling incidents
IN the life of the great martyrcd
president, Abraham Lincoln, that was
shown at the Lyceum theater Mon
day and Tuesday of this week. To
day it will be flashed on for the last
time. Anyone who has not thus far
viewed the film owes to himself or
herself the privilege of seeing it. If
your children are old enough to sec
and. understand, it is your duty to
make sure that they see it and learn.
There is a sort of romance about
tie life of Lincoln that has perneat-
Ell and surrounded the life of NC
ether president the country ever had.
Here is a true type of working up
from the bottom, for If to win ones
way from a mere log cabin to the
White House is not advancement
won by dint of sheer hard work. then
there is no such thing as winning
ones way in the world. Lincoln is
an example for every boy to follow,
and to keep from a child an oppor-
clearly than ever before, the facts
concerning the early life of Lincoln is
an injury to that child
There are ten pictures in The Son
Of Democracy" series, and My
Mother,' is the first. They are SO
arranged that to miss one does not
mean that the others spoiled. Each
is a different story and could be
shown in any order desired were it
rot for the fact that the producers
have followed the incidents of Lin
coins life in the pictures just as
they occurred in his real life. Pau
line Frederick in 1.-The Hungry
Heart and a good vaudeville will be
shown also today.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
will bring Vivian Martin back to the
Lyceum, this time in an uproarious
comedy, 1.-THE Trouble Buster Miss
Martin, through her dainty work her
past few appearances at the Lyceum
has become one of New Britain's
most popular picture actresses. II
this new picture she will undoubted-
" climb into greater favor than ever
before. She portrays a role in The,
Trouble Buster that again shows
her street waif. with only one
friend, q small newsboy. To tell the
story would be to spoil the picture.
but Lyceum patrons are assured that
they will laugh and then again they
may do a little crying when they
view Miss Martin and her capable
cast in THE Trouble Buster
Commencing tomorrow also, there
will be a. new bill of vaudeville. and
good pictures in addition to the fea-
ture.

Of poisons.

Millions of folks battle internally

you say. Well, it is guaranteed to
perform miracles if you could be-
lieve these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men
and women who, Immediately upon
arising in the morning, drink a glass
of real hot water with a teaSpoonfui
of limestone phosphate in it. This is
a very excellent health measure. It
is intended to flush the stomach, liver,
kidneys and the thirty feet of intes-
tines of the previous days waste, sour
bile and indigestihle material left
over in the body which if not elm
mated every day, become food for the
millions of bacteria which infest the
bowels, the quick result is poisons
and toxins which are then absorbed
into the blood causing headache, bill
ious attacks, foul breath, bad taste,
colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery,
sleeplessness, impure blood and all
sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to OBJ
tain quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store This
will cost very little but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, SO limestone phosphate
and hot water act on the stomach
liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast
ly more important to battle on the
inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impure
ties into the blood. while the bowel
pores do.

That is just the sort of work inert,

And you can't build character with

RAILROAD RUMBLES
FREIGHT TRAFFIC
NEARING NORMAL
Yards at Northumberland Are
Starting One Hundred
Trains Daily

Northumberland. Pa, Feb. ell
Pennsylvania railroad classification
yards here is rapidly approaching
the normal. Embargo on freight for
points west of Altoona has been
lifted and more than fifty locomo
tives have been commandeered from
other roaus at the direction of Di
rector Geerral McAdoo. At the pres
ent time, it was stated to-day, more
than 5000 cars loaded with essen
tials leave the yards every day.
Much of this is coal.
While freight congestion is clear
ing up wonderfully, there still re-
main thousands of cars in the yards
and on extended sidings. One of the
drawbacks, it was said, in clearing
up the jam is the congestion on
other lines.
Some roads, according to officials,
are in such a congested condition
that they are unable to accept GER
tain freight from the Pennsylvania.
and as a result they eventually hnd
their way into the Northumberland
yarGs to await orders.
Many Trains Daily
Thawing weather of the past week
has been considerable alu 10 lhesS

No estimate could be obtained OF
the number of cars sidetracked ana
in the yards. Railroad olilclals
stated, however, that employees are

Enable Officials to Get

Relief in the severe cold weather
has greatly improved the operation
of the local steel plant, according to
an official this morning. Much inn

coal is obvious. Although danger of
coal shortage has not passed, re-

days is kept on hand at the plant.
During the severe weather it was i'm
possible to keep a days supply on
hand.
Commenting on the conditions
among steel plants in Eastern Penn

BY the end of the week the steel
industry bids fair to be operating at
eighty per cent. of capacity. I'M
proVement has not come to mills

a ten per cent. basis, and fuel sup
pies have since been little bettered.

lions of inadequate motivepower are
expected to be only gradual. In
roads have been made on the great
stocks of finished. product which
have blocked mill space for some
time, and general domestic business
now waits on how much mill ca
paeity will exceed Government re-
quirements.
Echoes of the trying period will
be heard for some time. One mill
suffered ninety per cent. reflections
OF full operation on specification

RHEU MATISM LEAVES
YOU FOREVER
Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
Dissolved and the Rheumatic Poison
Starts to Leave the System Within
Twenty-fOur Hours.

Geo. A. Gorgas, whom you all know
is authorized to say to every rheuma-
tic sufferer in this vicinity that If two
bottles of Allenrhu. the sure con-
querer of rheumatism, does not stop
all agony, reduce swollen joints and
do away with even the slightest
twinge of rheumatic pain, he will
gladly return your money without
comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvellous re-
suits have been accomplished in the
most severe cases where the suffering
and agony was intense and piteous
and where the patient was helpless
Allenrhu relieves at once. Imme-
diately after you start to take it the
good work begins. 1t searches out the
uric acid deposits, dissolves the secre-
tions and drives rheumatic poison out
of the body through the kidneys and
bowels.
It's marvellous how quickly it acts.
Blessed relief often comes in two
days, and even in cases where the suf-
fering is most painful all traces dis
appear in a few days.
Mr.. James II. Allen, the discoverer
of Allenrhu, who for many years suf-
fered the torments of acute rheuma-
tism, desires all sufferers to know that
he does not want q cent of anyone's
money unless Allenrhu decisively con-
ouers this worst of all diseases, and
he has instructed Geo. A. Gorgas to
guarantee it in every instance
