If the hands are not good and the
nails badly shaped, try to improve the
latter by training the cutlcle. Every
night soak the fingers in hot water for
five minutes, Then with an orange
wood stick press back the cuticle to
lengthen the nails. Afterward rub in
cold cream. Do not omit this or the
soaking will make the cuticle very
dry.

Campaign.
ExoNERATES REPUBLICANS

Atlanta. Ca, Sept. 2S.--In reply to
the charges of former United States
Senator Pettigrew, Thomas E. Wat
son tonight issued the following
statement to the Associated Press:
The reason why Mr.. Bryan has put
forward Pettigrew to attack me is
that of my exposure OF Bryan's deals
with the negro leaders and with sa-
loon interests of Maine. Indiana and
Ohio are hunting the peerless leader.
The deals are disgraceful and ought
to be exposed.
AS for Pettigrew shall not notice
further than to say that II anybody
ever offered me $4,000 for ten
speeches on any earthly subject the
man who made the offer was more
literally supplied with money than
sense. I made my campaign for the
principles which the presidential
ticket Of Bryan and Watson advocated
in 1896. Bryan had deserted these
principles and had gone over to the
gold standard men. The populists
called upon me to take up the Jeffer-
sonian propaganda where Bryan had
left off and l did SO; republican
money had nothing to do with It,
whether the Roosevelt managers
gave financial aid to those who man
lged the populist campaign, l neither
know nor care. Everybody who
knows a thing about 1t is we'll aware
Of the fact that the campaign funds of
both the old parties come from prac.
tically the same source.
bryan we'll knew that the Parker
campaign fund of 1904 was raised by
the Wall street element OF his party
1t was the money Of Ryan and Bel
mont which paid for the luxurious
special train employed by Bryan in his
campaigning for Parker. According to
Bryan himself the source Of the cam
paign fund of Judge Parker was GER
tainly not less tainted than was that
of the campaign fund OF Roosevelt
Bryan's own brother and brother-in
law got $4,000 of the Parker funds and
violated the law Of Nebraska by their
failure to render an account Of what
went with 1t. That $4,000 came from
August Belmont and Thomas F Ryan
and although Bryan said that he would
refund the money, he has not done so
Before Bryan fires off his mar
Pettigrew at me again he had better
do one of two things-either dlsgorge
Ryan and Belmont's $4,000 or explain
what became Of It.
