PUT ON FEW DROPS
 AND LIFT OUT CORN
Try This Yourself, Then Pass It Along to Others. 1t F
 Workss

Good things should be passed along. It is now said that a few drops of a drug called freezone applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness and soon the entire corn root and all, can be lifted out without pain.
 For little cost a quarter of an ounce of freezone can be obtained from any drug store which is claimed to be sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 This is a drug recently announced from Cincinnati. It is gummy but dries the moment it is applied and simply shrivels up the corn without in1aming or even irritating the healthy tissue or skin.

Steve Zink. Is, likewise admitted having won about 20 cents playing nine ball at the alleys" Sergeant A. J. Richard son testified to Investigating the case. Mr. Rogers said Potash has previously declared he was IS when he was questioned and he also explained that his policy is to eject all boys when they appear to be under IS. It is hard to determine the age of a youth, he said, and he makes a practice of asking boys their age. Charles Bren- necke, manager of the pool room, said that both Gardner and Potash had previously assured him that they were over IS years of age. Horace Holmbold, employed at the alleys, said he has asked the boys their ages and they all declared they were IS. Attorney M. H. Camp appeared for Rogers and explained that he has a hard task to determine the age of youth and often has to take the age of boy as given by himself. A fine of S1O and costs was imposed
 Joseph Hykowski, violation of pro- bation, was ordered to furnish a bond of $10O and pay his wife $10 per week for three months or go to jail.

CHIEF RAWLINGS PRAISED
Chairman King of Police Board Brands Reports of Claims of In- efficiency as Malicious.

Chairman P. F. King of the police commissioners today branded as false and malicious the statements pulp in an out of-town paper yesterday, concerning member of the board criticizing Chief Rawlings methods in conducting the department, and also opposing the proposed increase in sal ary from $2,000 to $2,200 for the ef- ficient head of the department.
 Chairman King said that no board in the municipal government had worked closer with heads of depart ments than the police board with Chief Rawlings. The reported attack on his ability was not even mentioned or suggested at last Friday nights meeting, and the chairman was at q loss to know just how so false a rumor could be published he said. The chairman also said that such rumors have a bad effect on the department, as it creates within the patrolm the feeling that the board has no faith in the chief, and in consequence some of the men may have a tendency to lag in their duties.

Interesting the pub

interesting the puD- He Hervfce corporations, telegraph of fees and similar places which do not fall under the classification of stores. These agencies will handle the stamps and sell them to the public. It will be seen that New Britain will never be so completely organized as when this Thrift Stamp campaign gets under way.
 Owing to the illness of Lewis Stephenson. the advertising manager, there has been slight delay in get ting the War Savings campaign start ed, as it was the desire of MT. Gill patric to start the advertising work with the opening of the campaign. MT. Stephensons illness therefore caused the delay, but it is expected that everything will be launched in the next few days. Everyone is en- thusiastic and waiting to take hold and push the Thrift Stamps. Not a single rebuff has the committee met with, once the plan has been ex- plained, but on the other hand there is the most enthusiastic cooperation on every side.
 The Boy Scouts. who did such splendid work for the Red Cross, are going to make a canvass of every home and leave advertising material and get the first order through the free postal card. Uncle Sam's agent, the letter carrier, will bring the stamps around the next morning. Thus every home in the city will be reached. The Scouts will also be or ganized as selling agents to canvass from time to time the various homes and take more orders at the same time placing service flags in the windows to show that the home is doing it's share in Thrift Stamps. Anyone who does not want to wait can start in at once by getting the stamps at the banks or at the post office. Buy Thrift Stamp today, and stamp on the Boches a, Made in America victory.

that Mrs. Nettie Burden, State agent
for the Society of Prevention of Cruelty
for Children, left town Thursday morn
ing for Augusta with three sisters, aged
10. and 3 years. from the town of
Mapleton. They were kindly cared for
here in Pressure Isle by friends of child
hood and members of the w. c. T. u.
and w. r. c., who helped to fit them
up with clothing after they were taken
from their parents by Mrs. Burden and
officials, and all possible was done to
make them comfortable and safe. The

est in the case for some time and on
Saturday when the oldest girl was
driven from home and came to Pressure

she was interceded for and the proper
people were notified. Now the trio is
in a fair way to be nicely cared for at
