'Statistics recently announced put the number of immigrants last year at 107,600." Before the war France, like 'coniers, The movement began | with £8,300 men, women and children. * [Now thirty stations have been estab- lished for examining and registering the Immigrants. 18 The ce goes much further. It | finds work for these people, that is, it directs them to localities where they are needed, and looks after their lv- ing conditions, encouraging and fos- 'tering the movement in every way. |All expenses arg covered by a tax of migrant.

Measures in United States. - The Provost Marshall has defined productive and non-prodvctive occupa- tions and there is no escape for those who cannot be classed among the pro- ductive workers if they are of draft age. Non-productive occupations in the United States are defined as fol- lows:-- First, persons engaged in the serv- ing of food and drink or either in pub- lic places, including hotels and social clubs. ! -y Second, passenger elevator opera- tors, attendants, footman, carriage gpeners and other attendants in clubs, hotels, stores, opera houses, office buildings and bath-houses. Third, persons, including ushers and other attendants engaged and occu- pied in connection with games, sports and amusements, except actual per- formers in legitimate concerts, operas and theatrical performers. Fourth, persons employed in domes- tic service. | . Fifth, sales clerks and other clerks employed in stores and other mercan- tile establishments, If a man of draft age registered in due course and waiting his selection for the draft be not employed in pro- ductive occupation, or if he be idle partially or completely, he must held himself on immediate call for the army. The regulation is applicable to idle registrants, to gamblers of all descriptions and employees of - race tracks and bucket shops, to fortune- tellers, clairvoyants, palmists and people of such vocations. If the Board of Appeal so judge, idlers may have their deferred classification with- drawn and their names will be report- ed to the Adjutant General. of the State for military service. The only excuses for idleness and non-produc- tive employment on the part of a man of military age are set down as sick- ness, reasonable vacation, lack of reasonable opportunity for employ- ment, temporary absences from regu- lar employment, not to exceed one week, unless such are habitual and frequent or domestic circumstances involving hardship to dependents if a change of employment were ordered, or where such change would necessi- tate night work on the part of women under unsuitable conditions. In the State of New York, the sher- iffs, state police, district attorneys, magistrates, other officers of the law, and the State Industrial Commission, under the State Anti-loafing legisla- tion, are combined to enforce the Fed- eral Order and assign men where nec- essary to jobs of a productive charac- ter. 'It is estimated that 1,000,000 will change their employment as the result of tis order of General Enoch Crowder. It is pointed out, however, that no man should give up his pres- ent employment, even though of the non-productive class, until he has either procured work at an essential industry or such work has been pro- cured for him, as it is recognized that a man employed at non-essential work is better than a man not employed at all. The Work of the Moment. Canada's Anti-loafing Law has been in operation since early in April and every male person ovér sixteen and under sixty years of age,' unless a bona fide student, or physicially unfit, or reasonably unable to find employ- ment, must be engaged in some useful occupation. ' In Canada the most essential indus- try at the present time is agricultural, Food production is a necessity of the present moment. More than 65,000 able-bodied men, in addition to the men already employed on the land, such as the Soldiers of the Soil and the boys and women of other organi- zations, will be needed to save the crops this season. There is no room for loafers; no time for idlers and there should be no mercy for tramps and mere pool-room sports.

' Apply a few drops then just lift them away with fingers. This new ' drug is an ether com- pound discovered by a Cincinnati . chemist. It is called freegone, and can now be obtained in tiny bot- tles as here shown at very little cost érom any drug store. Just ask "for freezone. Apply & drop or two directly upon a tender corn or callus and instantly the soreness disappears. Shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it off, root and all, with the fingers. , Not a twinge of pain, soreness or irritation; fl not even the slightest | smarting, either when il applying freezone or | afterwards. This drug doesn't eat up the corn or callus, but shrivels them so they loosen and come right out. It is no humbug! It works like a charm. For a few cents you can get rid of every hard corn, soft corn or corn be- tween the toes, as well as painful calluses on bottom of your feet. It never disappoints and never burns, bites or inflames. If your druggist hasn't any freezone yet, tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. Sash - NO FOUNDATION FOR TRAVEL RESTRICTION RUMORS The volume of tourist trafic from the United States this year has been considerably lessened by misleading press despatches appearing in Ameri- can and Canadian papers regarding the Canadian Registration Act. It was unwarrantably stated that visitors to Canada from the United States would be compelled to register at a post office before they could se- cure accommodation at a hotel, that passports were absolutely necessary, and more recently the absurd rumour was widely circulated that women from the United 'States would not be allowed to return home. This latter ridiculous report is specifically denied by Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent of Immigration, who officially designated tion in fact." Senator Gideqn Robert- son, a member of the Dominion Cable net, and Chairman of the Registration Board, is equally positive in his denials of the other mischievous re- ports. The actual facts are, according to the official statement of the Regis- tration Board, that the Registration Act applies only to people permanent- ly resident in Canada and does not af- fect even remotely anyone living in the United States; that no registra. tion at a post office is necessary, and that no passports are required. The possession. of papers showing the holders to be American citizens is all that is necessary to cross into Cana- da. At the International boundary liné the holders of these papers are given an identification card by the Canadian Immigration Ofolals, which enables the visitors to travel freely where they wish without any inter ference on the part of Canadian of- ficials. Senator Robertson, Chairman of the Registration Board, has announced that "neither in the instructions is- sued, nor the regulations for Cana- dian registration, is there anything that would indicate desire or inten- tion to impose restrictions upon Americans or aliens, entering, travel ling in, or leaving Canada." visitors who have already come Canada verifies Senator Robertson's statement, but unfortunately there are many across the border who have not read this announcement, and may still be influenced by the false reports to stay at home, spoll their vacation, and cause a mutual loss to themselves and to Canada. 3 / remit emp Sure He Would Be There. Private Murphy, after seven days' C.B. for fighting in the canteen, was being lectured by his captain. "You must," he said, "count fifty very slowly whenever you lose your temper, and never fight again over trifies." Murphy meekly promised. A few days later the captain found Murphy in a furious temper, sitting on the head of a struggling comrade. "Didn't you promise me," cried the officer, "always to county fifty before glving way to that temper of yours, Murphy?" : "Oi did, sir," replied Murphy grimly, "and that's what O{'m doin'; Om just eitting on him so that he'll be here when Oi've done the countin'."

Mas- sage this fragrant, creamy lotion daily into the face, neck, arms and hands and just see how freckles, tan, sal- owness, redness and roughnefs dis- appear and how smooth, soft and clear the skin becomes.
