Shelf Papers.

The next time you are cleaning the
pantry shelves fold at least three
newspapers the longest way of the
full sheet, says the Indianapolis Star.
Place them on the shelf with the fold
in front and fit snugly. The next time
you want clean paper slip the edge
of knife along the fold of the outer
sheet and remove the soiled top. The
remainder of the sheets will be left
intact for future use, and much time
and labor will be saved to the house.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

Il have suffered from the same
trouble painful finger nails) at differ
ent periods Of my life. The first time
Of It's 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 infamma-
ton and suppuration began at the base
of the finger nail. Sometimes it was
SO painful that had to use a poultice
to induce suppuration. After the pus
was discharged the swelling would go
down until the next period of inflam-
nation, possibly not more than week
or two afterwards. These frequent in
Examinations resulted in the loss of the
nail.
Perhaps ten years later, I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again tried various remedies, among
them prescription from a doctor of
a friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for time, but it was
not permanent cure; next, tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was SO irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that l could not use it.
/ began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment I 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
1t but a few weeks before my nails
were better, and in a short time they
were apparently well. There was
no more suppuration. nor infiamma-
ton, the nails grew out clean again.
One box of Cuticura Ointment was all
that l used in effecting a cure.

N. Y, Apr. 10. 1910. On Sept. 81, Mrs.
Horton wrote: Il have had no further
return of the trouble with my finger
nails" Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, sam

Tendency In skirts.

The skirts to suits are frequently
made with tunic effect, or a side
trimming, says the Dry Goods Econo-
mist. Sometimes both sides are
trimmed, while in others only the left
side. The slashed effect, with simulat-
ed underpetticoat, is also excellent.
and frequently the slashing is made
with an underskirt of self material,
but laid in inverted plaits SO as to
give little more fullness in walking.
While there seems to be slight ten
dency toward little more fullness in
the skirts, the general effect is one of
narrowness, and buyers are still ask
ing for skirts that measure from two
O. two and one-half yards.

Dried Fruit.

Dried fruit tastes just as good when
stewed in the oven, and this method
has its advantages-the fruit will not
dry and burn, it will remain whole,
and may be cooked while roasting or
baking. Wash the fruit, pour boiling
water over it and let it stand in COW
cred dish until ready to put in the
oven. Then add the sugar, cover light
ly and let the heat of the oven do the
cooking. Prunes are always delicious
when stewed in this way.
