Your Health
tBy DIR. X. II. Bishop
Watch Your FfngernaiIs

~
One indication OF your general
health is the fngernail.
II your nails are brittle or snow
white specks, something is wong
your general health is not UP TO par.
Besides acting in this way as a
health index the nails perform the
function Of protecting the tips of
the fingers. They save the fingers
from pressure and injury and give
them strong support.
The ems OF touch thus is made
more accurate.
In order 70 help the hngernaiis
perform their functions Il is neces-
sary to keep them in perfect eondi-
ton.
The nails should curve from side
to side. have a smooth, shiny sur
face and be pink in color.
The white surface OF the nail at
the root. commonly called half
MOON" should be in prominence at
the base of the nail.
After the hands have been washed
thoroughly an orange wood stick or
nail file should be used to remove
the particles OF foreign matter from
the under surface.
Never. use the point OF scissors or
the blade of a knife because either
of these cause the under surface to
become rough and hold particles of
dirt o securely.
After the use Of the nail file or
orange wood stick the nail brush
should be employed and then again
the stick or file.
II the under surface of the nail or
the skin becomes roughened, dip the
fingers in cold cream and let the
nails take up as much of the cream
as they can. Then dip them in tall
cum powder. This should be done
before retiring.
The small flaps of skin which lap
over the nail should be pushed back
very gently with an orange stick
every day. Be careful not to tear
this skin. because hangnails are thus
formed which allow germs to enter
the body. These torn fragments may
give rise to bone felons or even TO
blood poisoning.

able occasion.
The dress itself is simple enough.
There is a very long. slim. tight
basque, bu.toned demurely down the
back and the skirt is gathered upon
this waist with a pert. Outstanding
frill. And that's all there is to it.
But, oh. the chic of it,

EGYPTIAN COTTON
CROP TOTAL WILL
Be $4,000 BALES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The
final estimate of cotton production
in Egypt for 1922 is placed at $4,000
bales of Ats pounds net, according t.
a cablegram received by the depart
ment of agriculture from the Inter.
national Institute of Agriculture al
Rome. The corresponding officia.
estimate for 1921 was 6S4,000 bales
but receipts indicate that the crol
probably exceeded 100000 bales. The
area this year is estimated at !, ST.
900 acres against 100000 acres las.
year.
The warm weather during October
in Lower California has improved the
crop prospects in that state and the
former estimate of about $4,000
bales, may be reached, says the de-
partment. In the Laguna district
the crop is particularly picked that
estimates of production are conflict
ing, ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
bales. On the basis of these esti-
mates 100000 bales is regarded as d
reasonable rough estimate for the
two districts which produce pract1
cally the whole Mexican crop.
In India the condition of the crop
during September is reported as haV
ing been generally good. In Bengal
districts, however, ram caused Sc
rious damage. Typhoons in China in
the middle of September caused Sc
rious damage to the cotton crop IN

Disappearance Still
Remains a Mystery

HOGANSVILLE, Ga, Nov. a.
The mystery of the disappearance of
J. c. Todd, well-known farmer, bust,
ness man and former chairman of
the Troup county board, remains
unsolved, although his brother, A.
+. Todd, and other relatives, togeth.
err with the town and state authori-
ties, have conducted an unrelenting
search for him. A close watch has
been kept for him in Tallapoosa,
where he has a daughter, and in
Jacksonville, where he has son, but
nothing to throw light on his dis
appearance has been uncovered.
His family learned after the de-
parture of Mr.. Todd that he had re-
signed as director of the Bank of
Hcgansville, and as chairman of the
1'roup county board. Tie last heard
OF him was last Friday when he
drove his automobile to a farm in
Meriwether county and left it, say
ing that he was going to Jackson
vile. He bought a ticket to New
nan, boarding the train at a small
station, and no more has been heard
Of him.
When last seen Mr.. Todd was
wearing a dark suit with blue vest
ard a SLOUGH hat. The entire COM
nunity has been deeply affected by
the disappearance of Mr.. Todd, and
every effort is being made to learn
soma news of him.

UNIQUE SUIT WON
BY TEXAS WOMAN
AGAINST HUSBAND
BY JAMES r. RECORD
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright, 1929

FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov. "a
It cost Lee GOWN, of Henrietta, near
here, 800 to lie to his bride.
Instead of asking a divorce Mrs
Emma l.. GOWN, young and come
ly, sued her erring spouse for dam
ages. She demanded 100000, but
the jury called that amount well
down.
In her suit, however. lawyers be-
lieve she has established a prece-
dent that will prove a forerunner of
litigation of an entirely new char
acter. Not a single word was said
about divorce. 1t was d straight
out and out damage suit.
On the witness stand Mrs. Gown
alleged that when her husband
courted her he made many promises.
He told her that he was wealthy,
would establish her in a fine home
and allow her an independent in
come.
After the ceremony was Ierformed
she said she discovered not only was
her husband not the rich man he
had represented himself to be, but
that he had failed to keep single
one of his pre-nuptial promises.
Before she married GOWN, it was
proven, Mrs. GOWN had been a very
successful business woman but she
gave up her career to become chate-
laine of the GOWN household.
Attorneys for the husband con-
tended that there was no basis for
the suit. They applied for dismissal
on the ground that her only remedy,
if, indeed, she had any at all, was a
suit for divorce on the grounds of
fraud.
Mrs. GOWNS lawyers took the OPP
posite position. They argued that
inasmuch as an individual is liable
in damages for violating civil con-
tracts. and that. after all. marriage
is a civil contract in itself, a hus-
band should be held liable for breach
of such an agreement.
The court upheld this contention
and the jury, composed entirely of
men, found in the wife's favor for
$1,500.
Attorneys representing the woman
said today that they believed this
suit was the first of it's kind ever
instituted. If the decision finally is
upheld by the appellate courts, they
believe it is likely a new field for
litigation will be opened up in this
country. Heretofore when fraud be-
fore marriage has been alleged it has
been held only a divorce suit would
