Nothing But "GETS.IT" Will Do This
to Corns and Cal1uses.
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. It's pain
less, It's the common sense way, the
simplest, easiest, most effective way
in the world. It's the national corn- -
cure. Never fails.

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

there wvas at least one oth ercom pa ny
toaurting thle coutr in~ th le samtie play.
It is lierestinug to know that,
Thomp isoni drew~ hiIs chara'5cterts fr'otm
teal li fe and Ithat Ithe nit ue .1 oshuai
Whitcotmb is actually a composite of'
the nametis of' t wo New I lainpshlire
neighbiors whiom the authiotr knew and
admtnIrted. Thea scetne of thle ruat ip iIort
lion of' thie driatma was laId in and1(
a bout th le Tihomaipsoa home In the farim
(istrmict of the adjacenit couintry, and
every chiatacter' in the play had its
counttetrpairt in real life.
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
