Most of us get old, feet first. The
bunions get stale, more wearisome and
painful. Corns get harder and more
stubborn as the feet become more ten
der. At time when old people need
their feet most, they can use them less
unless they use TIz.
If you have never used TlZ before,
your first use of it will bring back some
of your girlhood days. TlI will make
your feet feel young, strong and vigor-
Gus. They'll never be tender, never chafe
or ache, never get blistered or swollen,
and your corns, bunions and callouses
will be no more. Nothing will do it
or can do it like TIZ. Don't expert
ment with other things; other people
have done that for you and they are
al now using TIZ.
/ TIZ acts on a new principle draws
out all the poisonous exudations that
make foot troubles.
TIZ, 25 cents box, sold everywhere,
or sent direct, on receipt of price, by
Walter Luther Dodge & Co., Chicago, Ill.
Recommended by all drug stores, depart
ment and general stores.

Workers and Strikers.

The business world is made up OF

cess, but it is only temporary. In the
| beginning of her career, girl should
make up her mind to be a worker. She
must work not merely when she is under
supervision, but must work steadily
whether she is being watched or not.
| She must be sincere The girl who
never arrives a minute ahead of time and
who is never willing to stay a minute
over is not sincere about her work. The
girl who does Just what she considers she
is paid for doing, and not one jot more
will not be likely to be offered higher
position if an opening occurs. If she
expects advancement, she must show her
self interested in her work-not inter-
ested in the pay envelope and the hands
of the clock, says the San Diego Union.
II she is properly interested in her
work she will be punctual and regular
and will keep early hours at night so
that she comes to her work each morn
ing feeling "fit," with rested body and
clear brain.

ests are absolutely essential. Nothing
is more disgusting to a business man
than 10 overhear some slip of q girl in
his employ chatting in loud tones and
in q frivolous way about his business
affairs.
Such girl instantly loses his respect
and usually her position. too. All too
late she discovers that 'the tongue is an
unruly member" and regrets her lack of
reticence. Her self-respect and an Unborn
high sense of honor should seal the lips
Of the business young woman concerning
the affairs of the firm for which she
works. Her employers methods may
not always be above criticism, but it is
hardly girls place to criticize him in
public, to jest about his peculiarities or
to spread abroad his affairs.
The business girl should take delight
in proving to her employer that she can
be trusted not to divulge his business
affairs, and thus at the same time prove
to mankind that the old proverb which
states that a woman is not able to keep
a secret is, among business women at
least. quite untrue.
Whatever line of work a girl enters
upon. If she begins her career equipped
with these qualifications, in addition to
the universally necessary virtues of hon.
esty, tTuthfulness, etc. she has every
chance Of becoming successful woman
in the business world.

QUEER QUITO.
A City With No chimneys and Where
Carriages Are curiosities.

Carriages Are curiosities.
Travellers in South America see many
strange places, but the queerest of all
is probably Quito, the capital Of the
republic Of Ecuador. The first thing
which strikes visitor to that city is
that there are no chimneys to the
houses.
Charcoal is all that is burned there,
and consequently no smoke arises. An
other popularity is that while the
streets are well paved you may pass
days in the city and nevsr see wheel
ed vehicle.
There are some carriages In Quito,
but they are rarely used, and when
one of them comes rafting along ev-
erybody turns out to look at 1t as at
some curiosity.
A third popularity Is that while the
bulk of the population dress in ponchos
"a kind of cloak or loose garment and
short linen trousers a considerable
number of people--white men-are to
be seen walking about and wearing
frock coats and tall hats. These men.

lightened and cultivated men, natives
Of Spanish origin, who claim that they
form the nation Of Ecuadorlans. In
dams. of course. do not count.
Every white man in Quito who can
possibly manage 1t wears this sort Of
coat and hat to emphasize his impor-
lance and highly civilized condition.
This dress justifies him in calling
himself doctor and others in SO styling
him, and he also thinks that it gives
him n claim to come into your apart
ments without being invited and try
to borrow 5 cents from you.
