If you've ever had corns, you've tried lots of things to get rid of them -salves that eat your toe and leave the corn remaining, cotton rings that make your corns bulge out like pop eyes, scissors and knives that make corns bleed and sore, harnesses and bandages that till up your shoe, press on the corn and make your foot feel like a paving block. What's the use? Why not do what millions are doing, take 3 seconds off and apply "GETS IT". It d tes, yot put your stocking on right way; and wear 'your regu lar shoe . -Your corn loosens from the toe, C lifts right off.

AME RICA'S GRE ATEfI' RURAL DRAMA SCREENED Famous 1l1ayers Adapt Denman Thompson's Classic, "The Old Home. stead." In the flood of thrilling romances, vulgar comedies and sex dramas, it is a relief to find a good old-fashiohed play like Denman Thopmson's rural classic, "The Old Homestead," being adapted for the motion picture screen. This beloved old comedy-drama, which for over thirty years has held the laughter and tears of the public un der its magic spell, has been adapted by the Famous Players Film Company and will be the Paramount Picture at the Idle Hour this week Wednesday, Dec. 6th. "the Od ldomestead." like "I'ncle Tom's Cabin," has proven its popular ity and its undying interest to genera tion after generation of theatre-goers, and it is estimated by Prank Thomp son, son and heir of the celebrated iatlhor-aetor, from whome the rights to the a(aitation were obtained, that in the three decades during wh IIc the play was being ptr'esented on tlte stage, It was seen h" over twenty million peolp1le in t ll ' nited iStates and ('an ady. 'T'hough It migh t seem that such an estimate was too high, it, must be temtemib''ted thait duitring the entIrte Pero tIil hat I )enmann Th'llompIson was pre'senttig thle play and a pplearing as lie bieloved J1osh WhIt (ombI ini person, there wvas at least one oth ercom pa ny toaurting thle coutr in~ th le samtie play.

In that, fact lIes the'O exlantiat ion of the auniversal a ppealI whIiIch this slum 1)1e play has had from the (lay of its fIirst liresenitat ion. It was wayt3 back in 1875 that Thompson first conceived the idlea which he wotrked otat as a short sketch. under thle name of ''.Josh Whit comb." 'The success of this short play encour aged him to ex pand it. Into the form in which it w~as pr'esenitedl for ovetr thirty year's as the famIliar "Old Ilomestead." it is, of course, thIs ver sIon which has been convertedl Into a motIon pictutre.
