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
it's occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, 1 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 1t
was so painful that / had to use
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of inflammation, possibly not more
than week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammations resulted in the
loss OF the nail. l 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.
Again i 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 a time, but 1t was
not a permanent cure; next tried
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that l 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. / 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 / could. / had not
used it but a few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently we'll There
was no more suppuration, nor inflam-
nation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment

cure" (Signed) Mrs. I. j. Horton,

MANY DEFINED PRINCIPLES
in PRUNING FRUIT TREES
Should Adapted Different varetes-In Forming Top
of Systems Are
Practiced.

The shape, however, should be largely
determined by the natural character
istics of the tree. Low-headed trees
produce the best results in many To-
calities. They are able to stsnd heavy
winds without injury, the fruit is near
er the ground and makes harvesting
crop and all orchard work much
easier, and the trunks are no. so like
ly to be injured by sun-scald.
If one-year-old trees are set out, the
pruning the first year will consist in
cutting the top back TO within eight
cen or twenty-four inches OF the
ground. The cut should be made just
above strong bud. During the first
season three or four branches should
be permitted to grow; the others
rubbed off soon after the buds ex'
pand.
In the spring of the second year, III
more than three or four branches
grew during the first summer, they

Great Baseball Play.

play you ever SAW" asked a friend of
Governor-elect John w. Tener.
THE greatest play I ever saw" said
he, took place in an amateur game
on town lot at Charleroi. The teams
were playing on a wet field and an
outfielder who wore derby hat went
after a high fly. He came to little
pond and taking his eye off the ball
made a jump to cross 1t. AS he was
leaping the ball struck him on the
head, went through the crown of his
hat and lodged there. The base run
ner was out and the fielder had not
touched the ball with his hands. Can
you beat it?"-Washington Core

No garden can be considered CON-

The seeds of annual sorts should be

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

grow undisturbed year after year.
When the roots become large they
may be divided and new plants start

OPINION NOT ALWAYS FINAL
Pretty Safe to Say That Doctors
Diagnosis Was "Away of"
In This Case.

The pretty daughter of physician
is engaged to college student OF
whom her father does not altogether
approve. His daughter Is too young
to think of marriage, the doctor as
serts; the college student is too
young TO think of 1t. likewise. 1t Is
out OF the question.
She explained all this to her lover
the other night.
Father says" she summed II up;
father says, dear, that will have to
give you up"
The young man sighed. Then it's
all over?" he murmured, with gloomy
Interrogation. And the girl laughed
and biushed.
Well" she said, well, you-you-
know that when the doctor gives you
up that's just the time for you to take
more hope. Isn't it sometimes that
way?'-Reboboth Sunday Herald.

Try r.. w. FISHERY

II is known that heavy pruning OF
the tops of fruit trees In winter or
during the dormant period has tend
cause the trees to grow larger. This
Is due to the fact that when pruning
Is done when the tree Is dormant the
plant food which Is taken up by the
roots early in the spring is concen-
trated into a smaller portion of the
top and results in the very rapid
growth of the parts left. Weak trees
are often forced into vigorous growth
by heavy top pruning which is done
in the winter or early spring.
When vigorous plants are given a
heavy winter pruning water sprouts
are often produced, because there is
more plant food sent up from the
roots than the top area can use, re-
sulting in the growth of dormant Ia
teral buds.
Heavy pruning of the top in the
summer or when the tree is in an
active state of growth has a tendency
to check the wood growth, causes fruit
buds to form and sometimes results
in the growth Of water sprouts. The
wood growth is checked because when
pruning Is done when the leaves are
performing their function of assimi.
lating plant food a large portion of
the area which is making plant food
is removed and the supply of pre-.
pared plant food is checked. thus
causing a decrease of growth over the
whole tree.
Heavy root pruning checks the
growth of wood by cutting off the
supply of moisture and crude plant
food. This results in an increasing
number of fruit buds. In sections OF
