Women then proceed to trim these pests, peeking relief, but they hardly realize the terrible danger from infection, says a Cincinnati auth ority. Corns can easily be lifted out with the fingers if you will get from any drug store a quarter of an ounce of a drug railed freezone. This is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. Tou simply apply a fw drops directly upon the tender, aching corn. The soreness is relieved at once and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain. ' This Is a sticky substance which dries 'n a moment. It Just shrivels up .the corn without inflaming or even irri tating Hie-surrounding tissue or skin.

Excepting by the steam road, there is no more transportation service be tween Danielson, Wauregan and Cen tral Village. A few vehicles have plu?s.l tnrougi via the direct route to Wauregan, but that stretch of state road is still piled high with snow. Motor trucks that get through from Putnam are bringing a supply of rreta meats to Danielson and to other places in this vicinity. -Mr. and Mrs. Owen Bell and their two children are ill at their home on Maple street.

Banks here were closed Thursday in observance of Lincoln's birt-bda. While it has been next, to impos sible to get many kiuus of u..ei needed supplies, including gome food stuffs through to Danielson for the past week, owing to restrictions on shipping and tieup of transportation lines, a consignment of straw hats has just come through to a local dealer. And they were delivered to him on a sleigh. One coal concern here Is stiplating that driveways leading to inlets to coal bins must ibe shoveled out before deliveries of fuel will - be assured. This concern rightfully feels that the time of its drivers cannot be wasted shoveling snow. s The highway from Elmville to "East the American and French national anthems. The exercises will close with bene diction. It is hoped to arrange for a parade of the members of the legion and members of other patriotic bodies and of citizens generally, escorted by St. James' band prior to the holding of the memorial service, which the members of the legion will attend in uniform. Something over 30 appeals from as sessment valuation figured by the fioard of assessors have been received by the members of the board of relief for Killingly. This is a gratifying small number in view of the fact thnt more than S00 owners of property had their assessments materially in creased in the revaluation work re cently completed. - At Dayville. Thursday, forces of men were engaged in digging out sidings that have been closed to use for more than a week. The long passing siding south of the station remains snowed under. Where the rails are being uncovered of snow it is found that there is a coating of ice over and along the sides ot the rails and this has to be picked away, a slow and trying task. The same conditions will be found when the ef fort is made to reopen the trolley line, especially through Danielson, j where Vehicular travel has packed I the snow down over the traeks in one solid mass. . Representatives here of a big oil company had a motor truck out mak ing deliveries on Thursday. For sev eral days past a bobsled, on which cans filled with oil have been carried, has been the chief means of getting supplies to surrounding towns, al though deliveries in Danielson have not been so difficult. Tournament games at the Bohe mian club were continued Thursday evening, the interest among the mem bers being well maintained . been received her. Joseph Leiselle, member of the night switcher crew in the local rcalroad yards, was injured during Wednesday night while assisting in re-ralling some cars that had dropped off the iroh in the yards. Loiselle was slightly crushed when his legs slipped under the wheels and was in imminent dang- i er Of being kHfed. His iniuries were of ! reported on Thursday morning as not LOUIS E. KENNEDY DANIELSON Undertaker and Eeihalmer oecl Attertion te Every Detail PUTNAM A passenger train that reached here from Boston just before noon Thurs dav brought several tons of beef and other meats assigned to one of the! city's wholesale concerns. This re ceipt of meat, by American Railway Express, was especially welcome here, for it meant a boost to the surplus on hand and is for distribution not only in this city but also In the surround ing country. Bread, suchas is reg ularly shipped in here, butter, sugar, and other such commodities were re ported as short in Putnam in some of the stores Thursday. Some stations also were out of gasoline. The demor alization of the freight service as the result of the storm is responsible for the shortages and near-shortages that the city is facing at the present time. A beef house here is taking care of its trade in surrounding towns, sending out big motor trucks to get meat to Danielson and at points farther south on the state highway. The fire at the Tatem handle factory holler house was caused, it was stated Thursday by James B. Tatem, Jr.. by an explosion that blew open the fire box door under a boiler and spread the flames throughout the boiler room. Soft coal that was put into the firebox on top of a quantity of sawdust and shavings is believed to have caused a combination of gases that ignited and blew open the door.

Nearly B clergymen are expected to attend the meetings. There is no comparison as to quan tity between the amount of snow now on the streets of Putnam aiid the banks of it that were deposited here by the great blizzard of March, 188S, Judge L. H. Fuller, a resident of Put nam for over half a century, said on Thursday.- As an illustration of how! the streets in the business section were buried under 'the masses of snow in '88. Judge Fuller cited the fact that a drift in front of the Elks' building and directly opposite the entrance to Burt's store reaehed to the sign over the doorway, and a high post there at the edge Of the sidewalk, was buried. This post supported a mortar and pestal and an eagle arid only the eagle's head protruded through the snow. In observance of Lincoln's birthday banks in Putnam were, closed Thurs day. Pu lip in schools also were given a half-holiday. . Attorney Charles L. Torrey appeared for a client in the town court of Killingly at Danielson, Thursday aft ernoon. Poultry, dairy, hees, pigs and crops will be discussed at an extension school to be held at Abington March 8 18.. As there is much interest in the lecture to be given, a large attendance is anticipated. The capacity of the hospital her to care for patients has been so tested that it has been necessary to place some patients on cots. The hospital serves Putnam and all of the sur rounding towns, and there is ver in creasing evidence that its capacity to care fnr patients should at least be doubled. L. M. Keith is president and A. C. Keith secretary treasurer of the newly incorporated Keith Trucking and Garage company of this city. The Putnam High School basketball team went to Danielson Thursday ev ening for a game with the Killingly High School team.
