properly, ana unless you carefully and painstakingly fol- low good directions your nails will be hurt rather than improved by "do- ing your nails yourself.
 In the first place, the nails should never be cleaned with a sharp instru- ment The s:eel file is for filing pur- poses, and shouldn't be used to clean the nails. Contact with the sharp steel tends to coarsen both the nail and the skin underneath. And as 1t increases the space between nail and skin the possibility for collect ing dust and dirt is even greater.
 To clean the nails dip the point of an orange wood stick in lemon juice and you will not only be able to cleanse your nails of the natural dirt, but also to remove from under the nail any stain no matter how ob- stinate. If the skin under the nail has been made sore or excessively tender by previous wrong handling then carefully wind a bit of absor- bent cotton on the orange wood stick before using it.
 The Proper '"Tools."
 The skin around the nails should be pushed down with an orange wood stick twice each day, and also with the ends of the towel when. ever washing the hands. If there is a tendency to ragged corners about the cuticle rub some good salve into it every night.
 To manicure the nails properly fl is necessary to have the proper equipment, which consists of:
 Orange wood stick.
 Emory board.
 Manicure scissors.
 Salve or cream for callous parts

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Amer1ca'
army and navy programs will depend
largely upon President Wilson'S sue
! cess or failure in securing adoption
of his plan of non-militarism while
abroad.
What he wants, as already gener
ally outlined, is to have Britain aban
don her idea of unbridled sea suprem
| acy. He wants her to pool her nava
strength in an international navy
He opposes any idea of an American
British navy. At the same time ne
wants the armed camp spirit removed
from the world in respect to the
army. If England refuses to hearker
to his program as to naval armament
this government will go ahead will
a program destined to make thu
United States the equal and perhaps
superior of England on the seas. L
England does agree to President VII
sons proposals, it is likely that thi'
government will relax some with IT
plans for the future.
These are plain facts, on excellen
authority in connection with Pres1
dent Wilson's peace program and tn
army and navy future.
