PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

II have suffered from the same trou-
BILE painful finger nails) at different
periods Of my life. The first time Of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, / asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but 1t was
not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The infiamma-
ton and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes It
was SO painful that l had to use q
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
Of Inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent infiammations resulted In the
loss of the nail. had sometimes as
many as three fingers In this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again tried various remedies, among
them prescription from a doctor of
friend Of mine. who had suffered
from like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for time. but 1t was
not permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was SO irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that could not use 1t.
began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment / had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect I did not use
the Soap exclusively, but rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base Of
the nail every night thoroughly. and
as often beside as I could. had not
used 1t but few weeks before my
nails were better, and in short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, nor inflam-
nation. the nails grew out clean
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that / used in effecting a
cure" (Signed) Mrs. l. ]. Horton.

GROWING HERBS
is ESSENTIAL
Nothing Can Quite axe Their
Place An HousehoId-Seedso Of
Annual Sort Should be
Sown Early.
By r.. q. wEATHERsroNE.)


No garden can be considered com.
plete that does not include goodly
variety Of herbs. for nothing can quite
fill their place In the household.
The seeds of annual sorts should be
sown early, but Of the perennial var
ieties land many of the best are that
the seeds sown in midsummer will
produce strong plants that may be
freely cut from the following year.
Make the soil rich, mellow and fine
before sowing the seed. When the
seeding plants are large enough they
may be transplanted to the border
beds, or the fence-row where they can
grow undisturbed year after year.
When the roots become large they
may be divided and new plants start
ed If more are wanted, though two or
three plants Of one variety will fur
nish all good-sized family will need,
as the leaves should be cut several
times during the season.
The leaves should be cut when full
ly grown and before the plant blooms,
choosing a<clear, dry day for the work.
Spread in cool. shady room to dry,
az drying in the sun or by the fire
spoils both color and flavor.
When thoroughly dry powder the
leaves by rubbing between the hands
and store away in tight cans or boxes.

should be cut out, making the cut
near the main stem and parallel to
It, The remaining branches should be
cut back to within three or four buds
OF the main stem, making the cut just
above strong bud.
In the spring of the third year all
but three or four branches are cut
out, including the terminal branch,
and the others are cut back to within
three or four buds o fthe stem from
which they grow, the idea being to
produce three or four well developed
and well situated twigs on each
branch each year. and having the
branches so placed that the tree will
grow into a symmetrical form and be
open enough SO that the sunlight can
get into the center of the tree, thus
adding much to the color Of the fruit.
BY cutting each seasons growth back
to within a few buds Of the last sea.
sons growth the tree is made to grow
much stockier than 1t otherwise
would.
The pruning after the third year
is very similar to that given in the
third year. Three or four twigs are
selected on each growth, the others
cut out, and the remaining twigs cut
back All cross limbs or limbs that
are too close together. or that rub
together should be cut out
