IN THE LAND O
 COMMON SENSE Says it is suicide to cut corns, and tells how they lift
 right out

You simply say to the drug store man, Give me quarter of an ounce of freezone." This will cost very lit tie but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from ones feet.
 A>few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted out with the fingers without pain.
 This new way to rid ones feet of corns was introduced by Cincinnati man. who says that while 1reezone IS sticky it dries in moment and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without inf,aning or even irritating the surrounding tissue or sk1n
 Don't let father die from infection or lockjaw from whiting at his corns, but cut this out and make him try it. Adv

FARMER CLAIMS HE HAS POTATO-
 TOMATO PLANT

With the fresh breath of Fairfield Woosis and the aroma of the soil fairly eEuding from his person, that horny handed and weather beaten yeoman and son of the heather, John Bucklin, familiarly known as Sheriff Buoklin' and Farmer John," breezed into police headquarters yesterday noon with the cheeriest kind of ''Howdy everybody" bearing in his arms a bouquet of young tomato plants for Lieutenant James O'Neil.
 When the ceremony of handing the plants over the desk, which has been baptized with the tears, both croco- dile and genuine, of many visitors, was finished, Farmer John" launched into a vivid description of his latest triumph a la Luther Burbank, a to- mato-potato plant.
 As his eloquence increased, so did his audience and even the entrance of Superintendent Redgate accompa- nied by Captain Began, failed to even disturb the speaker or his audience as the gospel of how to beat old man High Costa Living was being preached.
 There were some doubting Thom- ases among the audience, however. and upon those Farmer John' turned a scornful gaze and later a vitriolic tongue, saying in part, Tt seems a strange thing that all the puny, i'll nourished, half developed and peanut brained residents of a city who find 1t impossible to raise anything but dirt on the asphalt pavements, are the first people to cry fa.kir when some one who lives close to Nature unfolds some of her wonderful mysteries to their gaze.
 Come on you doubters. T'n show whether or not a potato and a toma- to can be grown on the one stalk. I'll show you how you can raise a double crop in your measly window box gard ems. If you will only come out to my farm I'll prove to you that if the city 1 people would only emulate the intel ligence and industry of the farmer, they would not be at the mercy of a delicatessen storekeeper."
 At the close of his address he had fully convinced his audience of the existance of the potato-tomato plant and there will be quite a delegation Of curious ones travel to Fairfield Woods next Sunday, weather permit ting. to see the crop which Farmer John'' is raising.

THREE BROTHERS ARE VICTIMS OF
 CIRCUMSTANCES
Paul, Benjamin and Byron
 Polaski, Enemy Aliens, In U. $. 20 Years.

Unsuccessful attempts to take up arms against Kaiser Bilr' then to be arrested for violating their enemy alien permits are the circumstances of Paul, Benjamin and Bryon Polaski brothers who were taken in custody by the federal authorities Monday. All three of the young men are well and favorably known in this city where they have lived for several years and it is the first time that they have been arrested on any charge.
 The men had taken out their first papers before war was declared upon Germany by the United States, they registered June last year under the selective draft law and also reported for registration 8 few months ago when all German male aliens regis tered with Assistant Superintendent of Police Suckley, showing in each case that they were law abiding citi- Zens. To show their love for this coun- try and demonstrate their patriotism, between the three of them they have bought $500 in Liberty bonds. Be- cause of the fact that they violated the terms of the enemy alien laws by not remaining at home nights the men were picked up.
 All have good positions. Paul and Benjamin are steamfltters and are em- ployed by the Kirk Plumbing com pany while Byron works at his trade as a polisher and buffer. Their mother lives in Wallingford and their other brothers and sisters numbering 13 are residents of Connecticut. Of the six boys but one was born in the United States, the others were born 'jn Germany and came to this country while very young. Their father died g, year ago.
 The thre brothers are now detained at the North avenue jail and what disposition the federal authorities will make with their cases is not known. The boys are anxious to get into the service and it is probable that they will get the opportunity.
