went into place. He did not hesitate,
although the time was so limited, to
alter or change details which he found
did not appear just as he had expected.
This seeking the best results was
well Illustrated In finishing the private
dining room. The nodded panels and
cornices OF this room McKim thought
were too coarse In scale when he saw
them on the wall He had portions
of them made more delicate. New
holdings were made and put up, then
others, until he finally selected those
most appropriate.
The new holdings threw cornice or
naments and the center out OF scale,
and these had to be removed and 9th
ers secured after several trials before
he was satisfied with the room as
harmonious composition.
1t was necessary to build structure
for the public Office separate from the
residence. McKim determined to place
this at the end of the west terrace.

every way subordinate to the main
building While he considered 1t
temporary building, it contained all the
Office rooms needed for the conduct of
the presidents business. McKim's hope
was that an adequate Office building,
with stately apartments. for diplomat
ic and other functions might be built
some time in the near future facing
the capitol at the executive mansion
end Of the avenue, thus restoring the
original idea of reciprocity Of sight be-
tween the executive and legislative
branches of the government
This one story office building was
much ridiculed because it did not COM
pete with the White House and was SO
simple in its design.
At a private dinner in Washington,
among some dozen guests, McKim and
government official were present.
The official began to belittle and to
ridicule the Office building of the presi-
dent. McKim said:

ident selected Charles Folien McKim
to restore instead Of to enlarge the
building.
McKim gave his whole attention to
design, from the broadcast principles
controlling the relations and unity be-
tween the larger elements Of halls and
rooms down to the minutest details Of
mantels, stucco ornaments and light
ing fixtures
The broad principles Of the work
consisted in restoring the terrace on
the east, removed during GRANTS ad-

houses and propagating beds, remov-
ing the presidents public offices from
the residence to a separate structure,
restoring the interior from the ground
to the roof and refurnishing the prin-

While McKim was maturing his de-

the ground to the roof was being torn
out, leaving only the walls, windows
and upper floors.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets Get

the bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath fird

Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar.
coated tablets are taken for bad

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act
gently but firmly on the bowels and

purifying the entire system. They do
that which dangerous calomel does
without any of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets without

DIR. F. M. Edwards discovered the
