Guilty In that direction.
Getting the nails flexible is the first
process In improving their shape, and
this work is accomplished largely by
the use OF grease. For this purpose
glycerin or sweet almond oil is excel
lent, for both are very penetrating.
For strained or infamed eyes make n
solution Of borlc acid and warm wa
ter or Of hydrogen peroxide and warm
water and bathe the eyes by the use OF
an eyecup. A medicine dropper is good
for this purpose, though more tedious
to handle.
II your skin is inclined TO break ont

cakes except on extra occasions. Moth
ing is more ruinous 10 the complexion
than our American breakfast Of hot
cakes loaded with butter and possibly
maple slrup eaten for 365 days in the
year.
This cough slrup is easily made and
very good: Take a small handful Of
dried hops and a small handful OF
dried horehound and put into a cup

then strain through a cloth. Add to
this one cupful OF honey and two cup

MORE ARGUMENT
IN CANDY CASE

Judge Bradford in the United States
Court today heard argument on the
demurrer filed by the defendant in the
case of Taylor Brothers Company of
Kalamazoo. Mich. VS.. Frank II. Fleer
and Company, a corporation of the
State OF Delaware.
The Taylor Brothers Company
brought action in the United States
Court her sometime ago, asking that
the defendant company be enjoined
from interfering with the business of
the former concern by threatening pub
lications that il they continued to use
the advertisements of the complainant
suit for damages would be instituted.
The trouble between the two firms
is the similarity of the names of
brands of candies manufactured by the
two concerns. The Taylor people make
what is known in the candy world as
"Ghiplets" and the F1eer concern makes
the well-lmown 'Chicklets."

THE logical step for prohibitionists
in New York State is to bend their
energies to enforce laws already in
statute books and which are not now
enforced.
If the community dema Z Is an open
Sunday 1 would even fav4r this, but
let the laws be enforced, whatever they
may be, for if laws mildly destricting
the sale of liquor do not have public
sentiment behind them there is small
chance that an absolutely prohibltory
law would receive the endorsement of
the people. which is essential to its en-
forcement."

looking product Of such an effort as he
had made. Like all speeches of states
men. 1t was sent to the speechmaker
