Scored a Big Hit.

The comic opera, "The Captain OF
Plymouth, produced under the aus
pices of the Federation of Women's
Clubs of Edgerton at Royal hall Thurs
day evening, fulfilled about every prom
Use of it's promoters, for it is generally
conceded as scoring decided success.
The leading cast of characters was
made up of 'Miles Standish," Philip
Coon; "John Alden" E.. L. Roethe;
Glider Brewster" Warren Coon;
Erasmus, Clarence Jensen; "Wat-
tawamut, Chief of the Pequots," Will
Dickinson; priscilla" Helen Coon;
'Katonka, and Indian Princess, /" Mary
Ellen Wesendonk, and Mercy" Edna
Wilson, which with a sextette of Pur-
itan daisies, soldiers, sailors, Indians,
and maidens of the colony comprised
nearly sixty voices. Local talent rare
ly carried their parts SO creditably as
on this occasion, for which much is due
to S. H. Buchanan, who staged the
opera and directed the orchestra.
The solos and choruses invariably
elected hearty applause and the COM
edy parts were decided hits. The music
throughout proved bright and catchy
and the dance of the sextette of Pur-
itan daisies one of the bright spots of
the performance.
The benefit was favored with a large
house that netted over $134, which in
deed is the most pleasing thing to
record of 'The Captain of Plymouth. !"

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

''I have suffered from the same trouble tpainful finger nailsl at different periods of my life. The first time of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying home remedies without getting helped, I asked my doctor to prescribe for me- but it vas not for a year or more that my nails and fingers were well. The inflammation and suppuration began at the base of the finger nail. Sometimes 1t was so painful that I had to use a poultice to induce siIppuration. 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 infiarn- nations resulted in the loss Of the nail I had sometimes as many as three fingers in this state at one time. Perhaps ten years later, began again to suffer from the same trouble. l began to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment. did not use the Soap exclusively but I rubbed the Cuticura Ointment into the base of the nail every night thoroughly, and as often beside as 1 could. had not used 1t but a few weeks before my nails were better There was no more suppuration nor infiamna- tion, the nails grew out clean again. One box of Cuticura Ointment was all that I used" (Signed) Mrs. l. J, Horton, Katonah, N. Y.. Apr. i3. 1910. On Sept. 2i, Mrs, Horton wrote: % 1 have had no further return q the trouble with my finger nails"
