Home Manicuring Lessons
By
DR.. WIN. C. KORONY
Lesson No. l

!, You so often hear women complain that
they cannot keep their nails IN good condi-
ton on account of household duties This
sntiquated idea has logE since Dcen exploded
for the modern Simplex method of manicur-
ing makes it possible for the busiest Of
housewives to have beautiful wsll-kept nails
Heretofore it difficult to overcome
ragged cuticle, hang-nails and discolorations
but now it is easy matter. All you need
is bottle of Simplex Cuticle Remover. Ap-
ply freely around the nails, using the mani
cure stick wrapped with cotton, slightly
pushing back the cuticle at the same time
Allow it to remain the nails for a few
moments, then gently work around the nais
with the manicure stick until they are en-
tirely free from all dead or ragged cuticIe
Never cut the cuticle, as this stimulates
quicker growth and also hardens it.
Being a physician and chemist I have
made careful research for scientific prepara-
tons for the care of the nails, especially for
home use, and the results of my efforts are
the renowned Simplex Manicuring Prepara-
tons. sold by all first-class dealers in toilet
articles.
My next lesson will appear in an early is

Balm watched the fitting lights of the
city pass the window of the tsxicah
and leaned back against the cushions,
holding himself, as it were, in a state of
nervous tension. One thing after an
other had worked upon his feelings until
he was ready to shout aloud with the
uncertainty Of it all
He caught himself recalling Frances
little laugh, and the way her lips curved
as she smiled 1t was utter madness, he
knew, and he pointed this out to himself
very clearly, but for some reason the
girl had made a big impression on him.
He had known her much less than "a
hours and yet she filled his mind to the
exclusion of all else.
And now what had happened to her, and
to his friend Judge Crane? They had
disappeared. spirited away into space,
while he had been absent less than five
minutes 1t was battling, and as he had
not the slightest idea where to start

that his driver seemed to grasp the stu

from his seat and jerking open the door

FARMERS NEED HELP. ;

According to specialists of the
United States department of agri-
culture, there is plenty Of farm work
for anyone who wants job pitching
hay, shocking grain, or laboring at
other farm tasks throughout the
western irrigation belt. A recent re-
port from the Truckkee-C Carson irri-
'gatiea project says that labor is ex-
tremely scarce and farmers are pay
ing $3.50 to SIS a day, including
board and lodging, for help during
the haying season. Fourteen-year-
old schoolboys are being paid So a
day plus their board and lodging.
Indications are that harvest condi-
lions will be as bad, if not worse.
The general impression that there 10
a labor surplus and work deficit
throughout the country certainly is
not true ON the reclamation projects.

THE COLORS.

An interesting little scene was
witnessed at the Auteuil barrier DUR
ing the recent strike movement in
France. Infantrymen had been post
ed to guard the tram line at par
.ticular point, and on the advance of
a crowd of strikers bearing the red
flag the men took up their positions
barring the road. The situation
looked ominous enough and there
seemed every likelihood of a col
lision, when trooper appeared with
the colors, and advancing to the front
of the line displayed the blue, white
and red of France. The effect of the
beloved colors, symbol Of so much
sacrifice and so much glory, was al
most instantaneous. The crowd
stood silent a moment, then the
revolutionary flag disappeared and
soon after the strikers had all dis
persed.

WHERE WAS KABBErS ruuI7
Seemingly colored Porter Had Lost o.
| Mislaid the Token That Brought
Him Luck.

As the. train neared its destination
the porter appeared at the forward
end of the parlor car, whiskbroom in
hand, ready to begin. The first pas
.senger approached didn't want to be-
busted, and SO the porter turned to
the passenger in the end seat on the
other side Of the aisle. There, how
ever, he met with the same lack of
response; and it was just like that
precisely the whole length of the
car. Every seat was occupied, and
there ought to have been something
in that car, but the porter didn't get
a rise. It was hot day, the people
were tired, and they just didn't want
to bother about it.
J The last man to step out of the
car at the station, who had observed
all this, ventured to hand to the por-
ter the amount that be would have
given ii he had stood up to be
brushed, at the same time remark
ing:
Pretty light business, wasn't it ?"
'fWell," said the Porter, "you've
got to make the best of it, take it as
it comes"
But it certainly was a very light
