SAYS The DRUG IS
AN ETHER COMPOUND
Just few drops loosens any corn SO
it lifts out without pain.

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me a quarter Of an ounce
of freezone" This will cost very
little but is sufficient to remove ey-
cry 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 lif-
ted out with the fingers without
pain.
This new drug called freezone is
an ether compound discovered by a
Cincinnati man, who says that while
freezone is sticky it dries in a mo-
ment, and simply shrivels up the
corn without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or
skin.
Don't let father die of infaction or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns,

HOW TO GET CREDIT

Connecticut Farmers Can Get Loans
 More Easily Than in the Past.
 An accurate statement of farm business as a basis for farm credit, together with a discussion of an agri- cultural credit blank which has been adopted by number of Connecticut banks, is discussed in a bulletin by Prof. Guy c. Smith of the Connecticut Agricultural College, which is just off the press. Professor Smith, who has made a special study of farm credi-, has been working with the Committee of Food Supply and Conservation of the Connecticut State Council of De- fense and with the Connecticut Bank ers' Association to perfect a blank which may be used by farmers desir- ing credit. This blank is being fur nished free of charge to bankers and others when request is made to the food supply committee. ,e.
 Professor Smith points out in his bulletin several important things which bear upon the farm credit prop osition. He emphasizes the need for a personal acquaintanceship between the banker and the farmer, which may be attained through the establishment of checking account and other busi- ness relations. He explains how many

farmers are suCcessruI m pDLamIng credit by carefully following the bdsi- ness methods which the bank would require of any other business enter prize. For example" he says, "a few records of the farm business sys- tematically kept would probably do more toward improving a farmers credit than any other one thing which the farmer can do. Failure to limit the number of ones creditors, or too free endorsement of other mems notes is certain to injure anyone's creuit at a bank. Bankers have the facilities for finding out the standing of an ap- plicant in these respects, and this will account for the refusal of some re- quests for loans."
 Professor Smith tells of a promi- nent banker of Connecticut who re- gently stated that any farmer who will present credit statement to a bank will find it much easier to secure a loan than he has in the past. The credit blank being issued is designed to assist in the making out of such a statement for presentation to the bank Numbers of these blanks have been sent to the county agents and their help may be secured in properly filling one out if the farmer desires assistance.
 Professor Smith points out that at the present time probably 75 per cent. of the loans made to farmers are on a personal basis without a definite knowledge of the farmers business, whereas 75 per cent. of the loans made to men in other lines of busi- ness are made on the strength of detailed knowledge of their financial situation. Professor Smith declares that if farmers will put their requests for loans on the same business basis as does the manufacturer and other business men there is no question but that they will receive more liberal treatment by the banks.

An effort is now under way whereby the parents will Je instructed in the details of the thrift increment so that they, too, can assist, not only by telling the young people the de- tails, but also by means of tkeir own purchase of thrift stamps and of war
 avine5 certif aLes.
 It is probable that contests will soon be started in the schools throughout the state between the pupils of the different grades. By means of this method MT. Cheney hopes to greatly stimulate the sale of the stamps Needed lessons Of economy and thrift on the part of the children will also be aught. Teachers have been informed that the war savings movement in- wolves a practical demonstration of the ideas of thrift and saving which they for years have been trying to impress upon the minds of the children. 1t has been found that the pupils of the for eign classes of the larger cities are just as anxious to secure the stamps as those of American parentage.
 MT. Cheney says that parents will be encouraged to make the initial 25 cents outlay necessary for the purchase of the first stamp and its acc" mpany- ing thrift card. The children will then be given every possible opportunity to add to the number of stamps which they may obtain. Many of the boys are planning to do extra work in order to obtain the funds necessary to buy thrift stamps. Others will give up candy and other luxuries to which they have been accustomed. The girls as we'll as the boys will have plenty of opportunity to perform small tasks, so that they may fill their thrift cards with the 16 stamps which are neces- sary for the purchase of war savings certificate, secure the $5 war savings certificate and then start new thrift cards

Treadway urged the necessity for conservation of labor and materials in order to afford support to our troops who are now in training for the drive against the Kaiser.
 Superintendent Reiche of the Bris- tol schools also spoke at length. He urged every pupil to buy thrift stamps and war savings certifi cates. He suggested that instead of the 80 per cent. quota suggested by the State War Committee, that the quota be raised to the full loo per cent.
 Immediately after the meeting the pupils organized thrift association, and all agreed to save their spending money in order tC place 1t at the dis posal of the government.
