Soapy Water for Nails.

After filing the hands are put into a
| small basin of warm, soapy water to stay
| for five minutes. Wtping need not be thor
Ough and the base of each nail must be
| covered with cold cream to prevent the
| softened cuticle drying too soon. Then
! dipping the OrangeWOod stick into the
water the tip is worked gently around the
| base of the nail to loosen the cuticle with
| out in any way tearing il. Following this
the manicure knife. also wet, is rubbed
around the cuticle in the same manner to
erase bits of flesh without scraping the
enamel. Moisture lessons the danger of
surface cutting, so the knife must be kept
Wet.
After minute so OF this the nail is
carefully wiped with soft towel and the
skin will probably be found rough All
projections are cut with the curved scis-
sors, and if the cuticle is very thick a
little may be removed, but too much
care cannot be taken to avoid cutting into
the live flesh. for if the skin bleeds the
surface. when ii is healed. will be thick In
quality. Better not to trim than to cut
too much.
AS each finger is snloothed cold cream
should be rubbed over the nail again.
Not until both hands have been done is

the powder. The surface is then rubbed
vigorously with the buffer until all pow

The first manicuring work begins with
filing the nails. trying to make them
slightly oval at the top. At the same
time care must be exercised not to break
away the flesh from the top corners, for
then the skin will fall back and the fin

SIMPLE WAYS OF
TREATING THE NAILS

Nails neglected during the summer
months usually give their possessors trou-
BILE before they are again in a presentable
condition. The dryness. the cause OF
their ill-kept appearance. is difficult to
correct when the cuticle that has become
brittle from lack of care breaks into
points that are painful as we'll as UNI
slightly. To cure this dryness applications
of grease are necessary.
If, however. an oily cream. etc, has
been thoroughly rubbed into the cuticle
every day for d week and the skin is not
smooth and the points tear deeper into
the flesh. then they must be cut.
Cutting the skin surrounding the nails
is necessary in this case, for If the points
are allowed to remain they are in danger
of being pulled back more Clipping must
be- only such rs to smooth the surface.

work a pair of manicure scissors, fine
ones. with pointed ends. are best. They
must be kept for this purpose exclusive
ly, for cutting even so slight thing as
Il bit of thread may strain them so as to
make them unfit for maniclring.
The method of treatment TO be followed

Paste for Brittle Nails.

When the nails break easily a condi-

paste to use at night is made of a quarter

London, Oct. 12.-News received t11is
morning from the storm centers In the

London that the powers will find a
friendly solution Of the crisis which has
agitated Europe for more than week.
Servia, it Is now thought, has fallen

assembly, passed this morning which
amounts practically to a vote of con.

the matter of Servia's attitude towards
Austria Hungary out Of the hands OF
that easily swayed body and placed il

cabinet are aware OF the actual con-

heed the warnings Of the powers and
take no rash steps. The powers can
therefore, continue their negotiations in
the matter of an international confer
ence without fear Of interruption by
an outbreak from any of the Balkan
states.
A majority Of the powers continue td
favor the conference and are opposed
to Great Britain's suggestion that the
matter could be more quickly settled
by an exchange of notes and possibly

1000 LAND SEEKERS GO BROKE
Gamblers Make Many HauIs at Dallas
and Gregory, s. D.

Dallas, S.. d., Oct. 12.-It is esti-
mated that 1000 land seekers who have
come to Dallas and Gregory have lost
their money at the gaming tables and
are broke" Many more who have lost
all their ready cash have been forced
to telegraph for money.
Nearly 5000 persons have registered
at these two points already and nearly
as many more are expected before the
period for registration closes. Hun
istered, but thousands have remained
for the drawing. These latter have, in
hundreds of instances, been the victims
Of the tiger" The gamblers have op-
Grated their games without restraint
and are said to have made remarkable
winnings. They run twenty-four hours
day, with the games as strong at
daybreak as when the sun sets. To be
broke in this country means something
to a man, because he is without friends
at time when it is not easy to make
new ones. Every outgoing train carries
many men who have lost their money
and are risking their lives on the
brakebea1ns of bumpers.
No land opening probably has ever
brought more people, and they all
come with money. Those who have the
gambling spirit flock to the roulette
and faro tables, with the result that
several hundred are living on charity
until they can get out of the country.

MORE EXAMINATIONS OF BANKS

Comptroller to Stop Even Minor Vic.
lations Of tho Law.
Washington, Oct. 12.-Comptroller
Of the Currency Murray has decided to
increase the number of national bank
examinations in many cases from twice
to three or four times a year. It is
not his purpose, however, he says, to
examine all national banks four or
even three times year, but the new
rule will be made to apply to all ma
tional banks that have in the past
shown a disposition to violate or evade
any of the provisions of the national
banking laws or regulations prescribed
by the comptroller of the currency.
Practically the only remedy In such
cases is to declare the banks charter
forfeited, but this action in nearly
every case would be regarded as en-
tirely too drastic considering the
character of the offense. Nevertheless,
Comptroller Murray says he is fully
determined to put a stop to all sucn
minor violations Of the law, and as
preliminary step in that direction
he will insist upon more frequent ex-
aminations than hitherto.
The main purpose is to keep in
closer touch with those banks whose
management is under more or less con-
stant suspicion.

PREPARING FOR SUNDAY.

ottumwa Will Have Base Ball Evan
geIist in November.
Ottumwa, Oct 12.--OttumWa has be-
gun in earnest the work of prepara-
tion Cor the Rev William A. Sunday
meeting in November. After a series
of conferences the final location of
the Sunday tabernacle was determined
upon and the lease for the Miss Nancy
Davis property at the rear of the First
Baptist church ON West Fifth street
was signed. This now settles definite
ly the place where the celebrated evan
gelist will hold forth while sojourning
in this city. The selection of the site
was made only after a careful canvass
Of all available locations that would be
suitable.
The work of surfacing the ground
will be started today, and several
loads of earth will be necessary to level
off the premises before the erection OF
the building is begun. An army of men
will be put to work as soon as possible,
and everything done to expedite the
construction of the tabernacle. 1t is
possible that the ministers Of Ottumwa
may effect an arrangement like that
done by the ministers at Jacksonville,
ILL.,, where meetings are now being con-
Quoted by the evangelist. The minis
ters called for volunteers to work on
the construction of the tabernacle, and
in response received delegation of
forty-five carpenters, who dedicated
their efforts as Carpenters Union day.
Many other men volunteered their SER
vices in the work of building, and the
women of the churches served dinner
to the workmen during the construc-
ton. Many conversions were made IN
the meetings held during the course OF
their labors in building among the
men working, before the real meetings
began. The building will seat nearly
5000.
