GRANT SCHOOL
BOY GETS STARS
Third Grade Room at Lincoln
Wins First Place in
Reading Contest
Thus rar one boy, Willie Silverman
of Grant school, is the only young
ster in Salem who has won four stars
this year under a reading plan estab
lished two years ago by the school
librarian. .Several others hare gain
ed three. Miss Hutton's third grade
room at Lincoln school baa been
awarded first place among all the
schools, nineteen children having
earned their stars. I
The scheme, which worked out
successfully during the past school
year, is carried out in 'this manner:
For each grade from the third to the
sixth inclusive ten books are selected
which are considered the best books
for that grade. The names or these
books are printed on a card and a
card Is placed in the hands of each
child at the beginning of tbe school
year. The plan is for the teacher
to check the child's card after he has
finished reading each book and when
the child has read eight of the ten
books he may take his card to the
public library and have a star placed
upon his library card. - The child's
name is then placed upon the honor
roll. There Is a1! different colored
star for each grade and there are
many children anxious to secure the
four stars.
Following is the list of children
who hare gained their stars this
year:

Says that every time you cut
or pick at a corn you -invite
lockjaw
Tou reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns ""and who
have at least once a week Invited an
awful death from lockjaw' or blood
poison 'are now told by a Cincinnati
authority to use a drug called free
zone, which the moment a few drops
are applied to any corn, the soreness
Is relieved and soon the entire corn,
root and all. lifts right out with the
fingers, without one particle of pain.
This freezone is a sticky substance
which dries the moment it is applied
and just loosens the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. He says a
quarter of an ounce will cost very
little at any of the drug stores, but
this is sufficient to rid one's feet of
every hard or soft corn, or callus.
You are positively warned that
cutting or picking at a corn is a sui
cidal habit.
