PA|NF Ill TROUBLE
WITH FINGER NAILS
Sometimes Three Fingers Without
Nails at One Time. Began rs
Years Ago. No Permanent Cure.
Began to Use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. In a Short Time Nails
Were Well. No Further Trouble.

"I have suffered from the same trouble
fpainful 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,
asked my doctor to prescribe for me, but 1t
was not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflammation and
suppuration began at the base OF the finger
nail. Sometimes it was so painful that
had to use poultice 10 induce suppuration.
After the pus was discharged the swelling
would 90 down until the next period OF
Inflammation, possibly not more than week
or two afterwards. These frequent infam-
nations resulted in the loss of the nail
Perhaps ten years later, | began again
to suffer from the same trouble. Again |
tried various remedies, among them pre-
scription from doctor of friend Of mine,
who had suffered from like trouble. This
seemed to help somewhat for a time, but it
was not permanent cure, next tried pre-
scription from my own doctor, but this was
so irritating 10 the sensitive, diseased skin
that could not use 1t. | began to Use Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. ! had used the

night thoroughly, and as often beside as l
could. / had not used il but few weeks
before my nails were better, and in short
time they were apparently. well. There was

GOMPERS URGES FREIGHT
STRIKE Be ENDED
Says That Railroad Stock Will Drop
and Owners Will Ask for

Chicago, May 25. President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation of
Labor yesterday addressed meeting Of
striking freight handlers. He advised
the men to stand together and urged
the widening OF the strike by concerted
action, guided by the officials of the un-
ion.
Railroad stock that has not already
dropped since the strike of your union
will be affected, said the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor president, "and the
railroad owners viii be glad to make
peace if the freight handlers show a
solid front"
In response to question, Gompers
said
''Yes, III say something about pol
tiles This is it Politics is rotten
And to be more specifc!'
"There is no need to be specific. The
whole system is rotten, and there is
no need to separate it into bits to see
the rottenness."

Revival Of Tortoise Shells.

Tortoise shell has never gone en-
tirely out of favor, but just now it
is distinctly smart, and has forced even
the popular ivory into the background.
Toilet sets of fine she'll are lovely, if
perishable, and the modern girl collects
her set piece by piece, as her older
sister did ivory and her mother did sill
Yer.
Some of the sets are entirely plain.
The cost depends on the clearness and
quality of the she'll Others are carved
more or less deliberately. Still others
are inlaid with silver ornamentation.
The best looking is the plain she'll set
with monogram in raised tortoise
shell on each piece. As these must be
made to order they are decidedly costly.
Girls are bringing out from their hid
ing places the old-time high comb of
shell. 1t goes we'll with the chignon
and covered ears of the modern coiffure,
says the New York Times.
A bandeau of tortoise shell inlaid with
silver is reminiscent of the ancient back
comb worn by small girls in the latter
part of the last century.
Heavy hairpins of shell to hold the
chignon of heavy plaits are studded with
jet for wearing in the daytime, and with
brilliants for evening costume. Barrettes
of shell are studded to match, though
the woman of quiet taste always pre-
fers plain shell effects of exquisite pol
ish or delicate carving.
A gift for a man would be military
brushes of tortoise she'll. There is also
complete manicure set in the same
material that somehow seems more mas
culine than toilet fittings of silver or
gold.
A new desk ornament is a handsome
case of silver, with double openings and
a handle like flat market basket. The
lids are of tortoise she'll inlaid in silver
rims.
round silver Jewel case on feet, with an
inlaid tortoise she'll lid. There are small
er trinket boxes to match. Each case
is lined with velvet.
Very new for the shirtwaist set is
case of six tortoise she'll buttons in
laid with silver. Sleeve buttons can be
had to match, while the belt buckles of
shell, plain or inlaid, are popular and
unhackneyed.
The girl who cannot afford a gold or
enamel lorgnette viii find shell one
more useful than silver, which rubs off
on the face, leaving unsightly black
marks. The plain lorgnette, with the
raised shell monogram, is exceedingly
smart.
The opera glass of tortoise shell is
becoming a formidable rival of mother
of-pearl and aluminium. The last has
chiefly its lightness to recommend it.

Rutland, May pa record breaking
year for the marble industry in Vermont
is Indicated The large number OF Office
and public buildings under construction
throughout the eastern and central states
has crowded Vermont quarries and sheds
with work.
Sales during the first five months of

plants ON continuous day and night
schedules but are booked to capacity

LABOR NOTES OF
VIDE INTEREST

Forty strikebreakers have gone t.
work in one of the Burlington lumber
yards. They eat, sleep and have theiI
being right on the job On the other
hand, the wood workers are holding firm
and not man has returned to work. In
the language of the men, "It is better
to starye on the street than in the
mills hope that organized labor
throughout Vermont will see that sup
port is given to those hungry men and
their families. In the past, the union
men and women, aye, and even the UNI
ion bosses of this city, have sent hand
some donations to strikers in all parts
of the United States. 1t goes without
saying that it is our bounden duty, as
men upholding great principle, to see
that the wherewithal is sent our broth
ers III Burlington to carry this fight for
living wage and shorter work day
to a successful termination. 1t is near
ly impossible to believe that in the
Queen city of our beautiful state condi-
tions abound that one would more read
lily believe existed in Russia. To show
you the humane and kindly relations
existing between master and man, / give
the following illustrations given by two
different speakers on Battery park be-
fore what was claimed to be the larg-
est mass meeting ever seen in Burling-
ton. In one case, an employe had been
in the service of one firm for period
of ten years. During all this time the
employe had deducted from his meager
wages one cent day to provide for
medical attendance, should he get in
jured during working hours. 1t so hap
pened that this employee one day re-
turned from his dinner, took acute indi-
gestion and died just before the whistle
blew. This generous company sent for
a doctor and to make a long story
short, sent in the bill to the poor en-
ployes mother. In the other case, an
employee was half a minute late in the
long period of thirteen years service;
again the generous employer deducted
one-half hours pay from his faithful
slave.
Children are sent to work after school
hours, hauling heavy boards, and in
many instances the humble laborer is
sent home so as to give ample OPP
portunity for these children to engage
in physical culture for the benefit of
these lumber kings. 1t is the old story,
my fellow workers, only retold in a
more brutal manner. These workers
have voted for the conditions they have
received, only now they are aware that
the political game of voting for the
masters, who own their lives and the
mills they live in, is a chess game, with
them as the pawns. Only now are they
aware that If they are to exist at all
they must organize as unit on the
industrial as well as on the political
field They have learned their lesson
we'll; let us hope that the support Civ
Ell by the union men and women to this
hunger battle will leave a lasting i'm
preston on all the poor down-trodden
workers of Burlington's humber sweat
mills Remember, the strikers receive
no money, only the necessities OF life
in the shape of food, clothing and shell
ter.

ter element" of society, without any
consideration for those who create wealth,
is fast coming to close; when society
shall continue to be practically inverted
by having children Of tender years com.
pete on the industrial field with their
parents; when the courts, legislative
halls and officials in high places are
the puppets Of big business; when
women are forced into life of shams
in order to keep body and soul together;
all of these conditions have aroused the
people to a point where they have de-
termined to call halt and inaugurata
a new era, embodying the square deal"
in fact as well as in theory.

NO TRIAL BY JURY.
Petition of Harry Thaw Denied to That
Extent.

White Plains, n. Y, May 25.-"Trial
by jury denied" was the only memoran-
dun filed yesterday by Justice Martin
Keogh in the case of Harry X. Thaw,
who in his recent legal effort to obtain
his freedom from the Matteawan state
hospital asked that the question of his
sanity be passed upon by jury.
This opinion was fled by the secre-
tary of Justice Keogh, who himself will
pass upon the mental condition of the
man who shot and killed Stanford
White.

Washington, May 25.--A charge that

for which there was no provision by
law.
The clash marked the consideration

number of the firms involved conceded
their demands and the strike has prac-

A strike of between $4,000 and 10000
shoemakers in Lynn, Mass, in the near
future, is not improbable. A demand
has been made for a new price list,
granting an increase of three-fourths

The response to the appeal sent out by
the Central Labor union of Barre and
vicinity on behalf of the Burlington
strike, is meeting with fine success. In
many instances the manufacturers are
lending helping hand and the Ital
ian cooperative and Socialistic societies
have arranged to give a grand benefit
dance for the same purpose at an early
date.
