There are various preparations sold
by manicures TO remove stains under
the finger nails. With careful laws
most Of these can be relied upon, but
IL there is any doubt about a special
preparation substitute lemon juice.
As a stain removes 1t is excellent,
and the woman who keeps half a
lemon on the stationary wnshstand
where she washes her hands rarely
.Swill have to blush for the unsightliness
of her nails.
OIaIfc acid Is also good, but is ins.
furious to some skins. 1t should be ap-
piled with a bit Of cotton on the end of
an orangewood stick. In using the
lemon the tips Of the fingers can be
rubbed into a section of it. Later rinse
we'll with clear water.
Stains on the sides OF the fingers are
quickly removed with n moist puInice
stone. This Is Invaluable to get off the
first blotches after preserving, paint
ing or doing any dishguring work. In
cases where the skin under the nails
has roughened a little powdered pun
ice can be moistened with lemon juice
and applied with an orangewood stick.
Never scrape away a stain; 1t rough
ems both cuticle and nail and becomes
a dirt catcher rather than dirt re-
mover.
Soaking the tips Of the fingers in
olive oil will help to keep the skin
about the nails In good condition.

Summing the Hair.

The reason that some women's hair
is so thin Is because they never give
the air a chance to get at the scalp,
especially with the number OF rats worn
nowadays. But. even Ii you do not
wear them, give your hair a summing
at least once a week and every day II
II Is possible. Your hair needs such a
treatment, and so does your scalp, for
the cold dries the natural n~ourishment,
and thus the hair Is likely to become
dry and lusterless. Take all the hair
pins out of the hair, remove all the
tangles by running the fingers through
It. then seat yourself In a comfortable
seat by the window through which the
sun Is streaming. Toss the hair about
from time to time aud massage the
scalp to get the glands working prop
erIy. Part the hair in different places
so the sun will get all over the scalp.
Do this for an hour IL you can; but, If
not, half an hour Is better than none.
You need not fear headache unless 1t
is the hottest part of the summer.

on what someone is saying to ask IL they do not wish to be helped to

the pangs Of hunger If she waited for a IuI in the conversation to offer

SCHUYLER GETS CONTRACT

The worth of DR.. Schuyler, Of this
place, is shown by his ever increasing
practice. He has been most attentive to
his patients and his loss has been small
He endeavors to keep abreast of the times
in the world of medicine. In the last
decade medical science has advanced rap
idly, and by close study he has managed
to keep in touch with the new theories
and methods of his profession.
The Doctor is physician to all the mines
in this district; and now a new contract
is on its way to England for its final
signature. This contract embraces the
medical practice of the whole Of Elias
Meyers Flint mines, it to be valid for the
period of two years. After the first day
OF November, 1911, his contract will be
operative, and he is promised that large
crew of men will then be subject to his
ministrations.
