"GETS-1T,' is the first one ever
known to remove corns without fail.
without pain and without trouble.
This is why it is the biggest-selling
corn cure in existence today. 1t is
now used by millions. because 1t does
away with sticky tape. with plasters
and cotton rings that shift their DO
sition and press down onto the corn,
with salves that raw up the toe,
with harnesses" that cause pressure
and pain, with knives, razors and
files, clawing and pulling at a corn.
"GETS-IT" is applied in two Sec
onds. Two drops applied with the
glass rod do the work. Pain goes.
the corn shrivels vanishes. Accept
no substitute. Try 1t on any corn, wart,
callus or bunion tonight.
"GETS-IT" is sold by druggists
everywhere, 25c a bottle. or sent die
'ect by E. Lawrence & Co.. Chicago.
"Gets-It" is sold in Columbia Dy

REMODEL|NC BUILDINGS

Old Residences at Jackson Place and

Jackson place for the Carnegie Endow-

These two buildings are old residences
with dark cellars, poor lighting and out

formerly was occupied by the Bureau OF
American Republics. The buildings have
been entirely revamped, and brought ur
to the requirements of the owners. New
electric lights, modern plumbing and a
complete ianitors quarters have been In
stalled. The work also included remodel
ing board room, library, Office rooms and
! making necessary changes to connect the
two buildings. The work was done by
Frank l.. Wagner, builder.
The buildings arc the headquarters for
the Carnegie Endowment for internation-
al Peace. The offices Of the secretary,
| DR.. James Brown Scott, who is the chlet
administrative officer of the endowment
are located in the buildings as are also
the Offices of the division of international
Law, OF which DR. Scott is also the direc-
tor. Branch Offices Of the endowment are
located in New York and Paris
All the important administrative work

Of that material is between ID and 70 per

1t is known locally as the Garden of

picturesque cottages. one OF which, called
Paradise, has raised high above its

CHARACTER0 Of HOUSE
GOVERNED BY WINDOWS
The Proper Location Is Difficult
Problem, Writer
Declares.

Architects prize window. With il
they can give a i.ouse character and
charm not TO be obtained oy any other
means, according 10 L. l. Harrington in
keith's Magazine. Now. the window prob
lem is not simple one. and it must be
studied from two distinct poin,s of view
outside the house and in. When YOU have
arranged your windows SO that they give
your house picturesque appearance from
without, you Will find, as likely as not
that they come at the most undesirable
points in the various rooms. Locate them
TO the best advantage so far as the in
terror is concerned and. behold. they are
ugly as you view them from the street
The design of the windows themselves
IS a matter to be decided with care. and
AGAIN there are two points Of view. effect
and cost The latter point in particular
must be thought of by the builder of a
modest home. because it is a great saw
ing to buy stock frames and sash rather
than those made for a special purpose
Large lights Of glass are easier to clean
tnan small lights. but they have less char
acter. In some instances the subject is
argued with heat by the architect and the
mistress of the house to be. A fair COM
promise is tie use OF two lights in the
lower sash and four or six in the sash
above IL the windows are rather small,
there may be bit one light in the lower
sash. In general j large window with a
solid sheet of glass is frankly ugly and
minus single redeemng quality The
one possible excuse for such a window
is sometimes found in Z landscape view
of great beauty.
Two types of window, the bow and the
dormer. may give character to insipid
looking houses or they may make them
uglier than before. All depends upon the
way in which they are handled There
are rules to be observed and harmony of
design and proportion to be sustained.
Take a bit of advice and get a good
architect to draw the plans when you de-
eide to add a dormer or bay There are
several distinct styles of doriner and If
the wrong kind is chosen the result is a
sad misht. Fully as important. though,
is the matter of proportion. When this
is just right, one or moro dormers may
help in giving character TO q house

OCCuPATIONAL DISEASES.
LIN Dusty Trades.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

One of the most vital problems in
american life is that of occupationar

this country to a higher economic
plane. who would look beneath the oft
repeated boast that this is the best
and on earth for laboring men and
Women-aye. and for children-cannot
do So without graphing with the in
dustrial conditions which are sending
thousands of toilers to premature
graves each year. Many more thou
sands are struggling with diseased
bodies, undevelopcd minds and bitter
hearts to save pittance for dependent
ones barely to exist upon when they
themselves go next year to join those
Who depart this year.
Lead poison, coal mine fumes, fbrous,

paralysis and tuberculosis, besides a
,ost of insidious though less spectacu-
lar diseases. How 10 they attack the
workers. and what is the result? What
teps to offset their rayagcs have been
AIKEN in Europe. and what should be
lone here. 1t is the purpose of this
series of nine articles based largefy
on reports of the United States bureau
OF labor statistics. Department of
Labor. to answer these questions as
clearly and as fairly as the data at
hand will permit. This article will deal
with consumption in dusty trades

study of occupational diseases became

terment, and the uplift or pulling down
of the masses. the harm done by dust
wa realized by physicians and indus
trial workers. This was true especially
of Great Britain. Germany and. to
lesser extent, of France and Austria
On the other hand. only few physi
clans and earnest sociologists here and
there took a scientific and humanitarian
interest in the dusty trades of this
country until the federal bureau of
labor began its official Investigations
five years ago. This investigation has
resulted in startling and valuabl. dis
closures. The reports and compila-
tions on dusty trades prepared by Fed
labor form the basis oi. this article.
The forty-two dusty trades peculiarly
susceptible to CONSUMPTION or hbrcld

viz. exposure to metallic dust. exposure
to mineral dust. exposure TO vegetable

includes paper manufacturing hands. cab
met makers and operatives il nearly all
