lNGROWN TOE NAIL

A noted authority says that a fey
drops of 'Outgro" upon the skin sur
rounding the ingrowing nail reduces in
fiammation and pain and so toughens
the tender, sensitive skin underneath
the toe nail, that it cannot penetrate
the flesh, and the nail turns naturally
outward almost over night.
"Outgro" is harmless, antiseptic
manufactured for chiropodists. How

conduct ol more military funerals in
Skowhegan than in any town twice its
size in Maine. Several towns and
cities made appropriations Of thou.

funerals of returned heroes. The
Skowhegan band has been out in force
at every funeral in this town, and in
