"Gets-It" For Corns On
Your Piggy-Wiggios!
Quit Puttering With Corns. Use Tills
Sure, New-Plan Corn Cure
A few drops of "GETS-IT." the big
jrest seller in the -world to-day of any
corn remedy, is enough to spoil posi
tive doom to the fiercest corn that ever
cemented itself to a toe. It's good-by,
Tbeae little toaa
bad "GETS-IT" hadoooa.
Johnnie. You apply "GETS-IT" In
two seconds—no fussing with plasters
that Uon't stay put, with salves that
make corns "pull' and make the toe
beefy and raw, with knives, scissors,
razors and diggers that make corns
grow faster and that may cause blood
poison from corn-cutting and corn
bleeding. "GETS-IT" shrivels up
corns, they come right off. That's
the new principle. It's just common
sense. No more corn-pains. "GETS
IT" is safe, and never hurts the flesh.
Get rid of corns and callouses.
"GETS-IT" is sold at 25c a bottle
by all druggists, or sent direct if you I
wish, from E. Lawrence & Co., Chi-!
cago.

STREET REPAIR JOB
TO BEGIN TOMORROW
Paving Company Busy on Mul
berry St. Eridge; Other
Improvement Work
All the outdoor undertakings of the
city, Including reconstruction of
bridges, the building of new sewers
and street repairing, in addition to the
big projects along Paxton creek and
the River Front are now under way.
To-morrow the Central Construction
and Supply Company will begin the
resurfacing and repairing of depres
sions on the Mulberry street bridge,
which has required attention for some
time. Automobile owners have espec
ially noticed the dips here and there,
especially at both ends of the bridge,
and the resurfacing is intended to
overcome the* conditions.
The Harrisburg Railways Company
has already relaid its tracks in Derry
street between Thirteenth and the city
line near Ninteenth, and will imme
diately begin construction of the sec
ond track, so that this work can be
completed with as little delay as pos
sible. On these lines wood blocks are
being used along both sides of the rail
and it is thought these blocks will be
more satisfactory than the bricks that
have been used in other parts of the
city.
Alderman Charles P. Walter, the
street repairing contractor, has begun
operations and will be busy through
out the summer, inasmuch as there is
much repairing to do, many of the
streets having large holes and other
defects which must me remedied. The
work on the Spring creek sewer is
progressing, but it is thought several
weeks will elapse before the big job
shall have been completed. Mean
while, the roads through the Cameron
extension are in rather unsatisfactory
condition.
It has been decided by the Depart
ment of Streets and Public Improve
ments to reconstruct the bridge over
the Jonestown road at Walnut street,
and it is understood that the work on
the River Front will be resumed with
in a few days.
If Huerta Is Killed
Villa Gets $75,000
Special to The Telegraph
San Antonio, Tex., April 30. A
prominent business man in this city,
who is a personal friend of the Mexican
rebel leader. Villa, said yesterday:
"On the day that Vlctoiiano Huerta
meets a violent death the family of the
murdered Francisco I. Mailero will pay
to General Francisco Villa $75,000 in
gold.
"This may seem a strong statement,"
he continued, "but I know it is true.
Remember, I do not say I know that
Villa has agreed to kill Huerta for
$75,000. That is not the bargain. It
is simply that on the day that Huerta
?, killed Villa gets the gold. And more,
villa has a practical hostage.
"Tn his camp to-day is young Kaoul
Madero. Huerta might be able to com
pose his differences with the other rebel
chiefs and line up a united Mexican
force against America, but in Villa—
who personally has a long score with
Huerta—the dictator has one foe who
will never rest while ho is above
ground."

ther work was expected from the com
mittee now in Philadelphia.
An all night session was held at the
headquarters of the Brotherhood of
Federated Employes, 1334-«£ North
Sixth street, at which plans were dis
cussed for future action. When the
following notice was posted this morn
ing at the local shops and throughout
the railroad yards the members of the

Altoona, April 30, 1914.
The statement given out to the
press last P. M., by J. H. Mc-
Devltt, at Altoona, and W. H.
Pierce, at Harrlsburg, to the effect
that General Manager Dong had
acceded to the demands of the
B. of F. R. E., is absolutely with
out foundation.
Mr. Long did not see Messrs.
Morfit and Smyth yesterday on
this question, nor did he make
any statement to them; neither
did he see any committee of the
B. of F. R. E., yesterday, or make
any statement to them.
There has been no change in
the policy of the company in
handling any grievances to be pre
sented by its employes.
G. W. CREIGHTON,
General Superintendent.
President Pierce said that there
had probably been a hitch somewhere
and that another conference was held
this afternoon at Philadelphia and
until a report of this conference was
received the men would continue at
work. At noon the following dispatch
was received by Associated Press from
Sunburg;

What Is Woman's
Beauty But Health
And the Basis of Her Health and
Vigor Lies in the Careful Reg
ulation of the Bowels
Tf woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be a
picture of loveliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. It lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis of
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headachos, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless oyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the food?' are served daintily
and they do not 1 exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may lie
it is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and
one especially suited to their delicate
requirements, is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women
endorse highly, among them Mrs. C. S.
Vance, of 511 S. Ray St., Xew Castle.
Pa. At times she had spells of indi
gestion so severe that she thought she
would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her
stomach and bowels, and she attri
butes her excellent health to-day to
this remedy.
All the family can use Dr. Cald
wells Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of
mothers give it to babies and children.
It is also admirably suited to the re
quirements of elderly people, in fact to
all who by reason of age or infirmity
cannot stand harsh salts, cathartics,
pills or purgatives. These should al
ways be avoided, for at best their ef-
OBJECTIONS TO
MERCANTILE TAX
Appraiser Hoffman Holds Session
For Complainants Against
Assessment
Appeals from
mercantile tax as
sessments wore
heard to-day by
Appraiser Harry
K. Hoffman and
his deputy, Joseph
A. Koons. The
hearings are held
In accordance with
the provision of
the tax assessment
law, which grants the objecting mer
chants a chance to be heard on the
subject of levies.
The mercantile appraisement this
year didn't vary materially from that
of other years and the assessments
will total approximately the same
amount. About a dozen merchants
raised objections, however, although
no changes were announced by the
appraiser to-day.

Secretary Bryan Is
Not in Gamboa's Class
Special- to The Telegraph
Chicago, 111., April 30. Blame for
the continuance of Hherta in power In
Mexico was laid at the door of the
United States by Professor Frederick
Starr, of the University of Chicago, in
an address before a meeting of congre
gational churches at Aurora yesterday.
"Huerta would not have lasted six
weeks," he said, "if the United States
had let him alone. Huerta was of no
consequence when the United States be
gan on him, and now he is the biggest
man in Mexico.
"It would have been hard to find a
man less fitted to deal happily with
Mexico than John Ijind, because of his
aggressive personality. He was sure
to be beaten in a diplomatic exchange
with Gamboa, who knows more about
diplomacv in an hour than our friend
Bryan does in a week. He can write
a better diplomatic paper asleep than
our Secretary of State can awake.
"All may still be well in Mexico, but
the United States has to recede from
her position.
"War in Mexico would be a hideous
spectacle. It would mean the physical,
mental and moral degradation of the
whole people. Our soldiers would be
come savages in that clime."

Compilation of Party
Enrollment Started
Late This Afternoon
Because of the failure of more than
a dozen registrars to return their
books up until noon today nothing like
an accurate idea of the Spring pri
mary registration and enrollment yes
terday could be obtained.
Party workers and others who kept
pretty thoroughly in touch with the
registration places estimated the en

changes in politics were noted. In
some districts the Republican enroll
ment reached the two to one propor
