Wgeks, Stonington, representive for the “State Couacil of Defense, has had reported to him a case of ground glass. found in chewing gum in Stonington, and hds sent sam- ples of the gum in question to the council at Hartford for more thorough examination before giving out all the facts in the matter. thorough report of his investigations here, and awaits further instructions from the State Council of Defense. When the matter was reportzd to him he started an inveStigation at once, under the instructions from Hartford, getting samples of the par- ticuiar make of chewing gum from all the stores in the borough that sell it. In one storé he found a package that arrived at the same time that the package from which the “ground glass gum” was cold, which had not been opened, and he seized the entire pack- age. In another store was a package from which five cents' worth had beer sold. He also took this. On Sunday Dr. Weeks and Dr. Thurber made an examination of one package of gum and found what was undoubtedly ground glass incorporated in ths sugar coating of the gum. At least, the sub- stance found, ‘when rubbed between two pieces of glass scratched the sur- face o fthe glass. These samples, too, were sent to Hartford. Dr. Weeks stated Monday that he did not think it wise to publish any names pntil after receiving a full report from the State Council of Defense in Hartford. SHOULD PUSH HOME GARDENS TO LIMIT Robert Scoville Receives Appeal From Federal Food“dminiuu!or. Robert Scov-llle federal food admin- istrator for Connectjcut, has received a letter from Herbert Hoover, the fed- eral food administrator, urging that home gardens b2 pushed to the limit this year, and that more attention be paid to such staples as potatoes and beans, rather than too many perish- ables. The railroad congestion, he said, would have been far more seri- ous had it not been for the household stores that were laid by last summer ang fall, relieving tne problem of dis- tribution somewhat. Admlnistrator Hoover’s 5 Feb 15, 1918. ministrator, Hi tfor Dear Mr. Scoville:—The extensive use of suburban gardens for planting, last year proved of oxtreme import- ance in inoreasing the national food supply. Even with the car shortage which has developed during the last three months and the total inabili¥y to move the large reserves of potatoes and beans, we have been saved from posi- tive shortages throughout the country largely by virtue of the accumulated household stores which are the resuits of home endeavor. . The food situation of the world must steadily degenerate as long as the war lasts. It is therefore, of prime im- portance to add every item to the to- tal production. Furthermore, oumover- taxed railways. which must comtinue to be overtaxed during the whole course of the war, will be greatly re- lieved if we have a larger area of gar- dens planted than last 'season. It seems to me that the experience of last season indicates that, aside from a moderate planting of perish- able vegetables for immediate use, the substantial part of such gardens should be devoted to potatoes and heans. Those two commodities can be raised in practically all sections of the Unit- ed States, are of the utmost value from a food point of view, and have the great advantage that they can be preserved in the househotd without ertificial treamment: I would be glad, where it has not already been done, i# you could stim$- late the creatio: campaign com- mittees com: the local agri- 1Te has made a/| letter fol- i LIKE BOLT FROM HEAVEN'S BLUE A happy discovery of Cincin- * nati chemist interests women here [ Your high heels have put corns on your toes and calluses on your feet, but why care now? A genius in Cincinnati discovered a magic ether compound and named it freezone. A quarter ounce of this freezone can now be had at any drug store for a few cents. Apply a few drops on your tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disap- pears and shortly you will find .the corn or callus so shriveled and loose that you lift it off with your fingers. Just think! You get rid of a hard corn, soft corn or a corn between the toes, as well as hardened calluses, for a few cents and without suffering one particle, without the slightest irrita- tion of the surrounding skin. Just a touch of this marvelous freezone on a sore, troublesome corn gives instant relief. _— cultural authorities, who co-operate ‘with the national department of agri- cuiture, the council of national defense and any other public bodies interested in this matter, and through co-opera- tion with them and your own officials secure the creation of committees in every town and village. Many such organizations already exist and only need to be inspired to more vigorous effort. The matter is one to which we cannot attach too much importance. Faithfully yours, HERBERT HOOVER.
