THE WEEKLY MANICURE

I know one woman who says she always nanicures her nails when she feels nervous, because manicuring is such soothing occupation. This sounds as though the manicure times were rather irregular. Most of us find our nails must be done thor oughly once a week. with a little at tention bestowed upon them every day as well.
 The nails need only be filed once a week, the steel file should be used then and the nails should be made just a little shorter than you like them. The fingers should be kept for ten minNes in a bowl of warm soapy water to loosen the cuticuIe, the bits of skin that grow over the nail should be scraped off with a cut icle scissors fThen a littRe cream should be rubbed all around the nail If there are any ridges they should be filed smooth with a bit of pumice. Then the cream should be wiped, but not washed off. and the nails given a vigorous buffing with polishing powder.
 Then the fingers should be washed in soapy warm water with small stiff brist1ed brush. This will take off all the cream and the powder. The nails are wiped dry. cleaned, the cuticle pressed back with an orange wood stick and the nails given a final polish with a clean cuffer free from powder.
 So much for the weekly manicure. Every day the cuticle of the nails should be pushed back with an or angewood stick, and once or twice during the week the edge of the nails should be reshaped with an emery board. Stains are easily removed with lemon Juice.

MISS PRINGIE,S ADVICE

Well, well, what tempest In teacup dearie after all. There's nothing to feel so cut up about. not a bit of it. You're just suffering from human nature, same as we all have had to do in our time and you take it harder, because you've been used co such exceptionally straight forward people and ways of living. It's splendid to have been raised un- der the stars little girl. You don't half know how lucky you are. You can never be quite as stuffy as the rest of the people about you. neverl''

Vio1a:-Lemon juice in the rinse water after a shampoo will not hurt the hair. even though the water Is hard; however. there is no reason for using hard water, as 1t can always be softened; or enough rain water can be caught for this purpose
 Mrs. F.. P.:-The use of a. coTn- plexion brush is a matter of personal preference. There are some people who enjoy the stimulation they can get from scrubbing the skin. while most people prefer to cleanse the skin of the face and throat through gentler methods, such as creams or hot and cold water. A brush that Is used on the face should never be as stiff as one for the entire body.
 Betty:-Toilet waters are mildly astringent, which makes them useful in very hot weather for relieving the tendency to perspire excessively.
 Mrs. W. G.:-When using the hen na paste for darlzening the grey streaks, it should be applied while it is very hot and allowed to stay on the hair from 30 minutes to two hours, depeding upon the shade you desire. If you are merely unting the grey hairs so they will not be noticeable, three to ten minutes will be long enough for the application.

CAUTIONS WHILE REDUCING
 WEIGHT

My Dear Reduing Class:
 Today ends the, three weeks series on reducing weight If you have been faithful, you have lost at least ten pounds of your excess. and you are feeling 100 per cent. better in every way. You are happy that you feel like accosting every over weight person you see and telling them that it is unnecessary for them to be so burdered-
 While it might prove em barra ssinS to do that to strangers, you can pass the joyful news on to your friends.
 If the thousands all over the land who have been following this class work, will do that, we will have started such a tremendous force for the betterment of health and looks an efficiency of our people that in 8. years time it will be a ; rarity to see an overweight individual. and we will not be accused of being a na- aon of over-eaterc while other ma tions are starving.
 As I have told you, I am not going to desert you. shall write fre- auently on reducing. In a week or so am going to ask you for a report. Watch for it. Meanwhile, heed these cautions
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-05-01
Cautions

Don't lose more than two pounds a week after the first loss.
 2-After a loss of 30 or 40 lbs, it is wise to rest a month. Go back to your maintenance diet, but don't gain. Begin your diet again for your fur ther reduction.
 3-Don't make 3. practice of talk ing physics If necessary, add roast ad bran to your diet. increase your cellular vegetables, take some gran ulated sugar or a little mineral oil.
 Don't oveheat at one meal and thus perhaps undo the work it has taken you three days to accomplish. Don't 1oiter in the vicinities of pastry and candy! There is nothing more tragic than a fat person looking in candy window.

j. S. TELLS HOW TO USE
. SOFT COAL IN THE HOME
Says Twenty-Five Per Cent of
Fuel Can be Saved by
Knowing How.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
Washington, Sept. 9.--WhiIe the av-
erage household heating plant is re-
liable, so far as the factor OF safety
is concerned. this MS not alwoys true
in economy. says the bureau of engin-
eering of tho department OF the inter-
Tor, and in view of a possible coal
shortage this winter. the householder
will have to be very economical in it's
use.
The engineering bureau has COM
piled a few facts on coal and its
use, TO aid the public until coJ returns
TO normal production. The main point
Of the bureaus papers is the need for
economy in burning coal.
1t has been stated by good authori-
| ty. the paper said. that rs per cent of
the coal wasted in home heating can
be saved. The main point in economy
is cleanliness OF the plant as SCOT is an
insulator against transference of heat
and must be kept out of the furnace
and pipes.
Soft coal demands greater care in
firing. In putting in fresh coal. it
should not cover all the burning sur
face. If it does, the gases driven
off are not ignited and escape. If the
shape OF the firebox permits. fresh
coal should be placed over the front
of the fire near the door, then as the
/ gases are driven off, they are ignited
| over the bright rear surface and add
TO the heat. Later, the cooked coal is
pushed to the back of the surface and
fresh coal again applied to the front
| In the case of round heaters, It was
I said, spread the coal on the lower side
only and the gases will be consumed
by the heat on the other. The CRATES
should be left in a fiat position, no
part protruding into the fire, the de-
partment say the ash pit should be
kept clean as ashes cut. off the air
supply, which may cause the CRATES
| to warp or burn out. A bed of ashes
should be kept on top of the CRATES TO
prevent burning out, reducing it in
size as the weather grows colder. and
should never be shaken until live
Goals fall out. There should be a check
draftdamper in the smoke pipe Of hot
air, steam or hot water heating plants
or kitchen ranges, beside the turn
damper, TO control the heat at which
the fuel burns is TO increase draft
All heat pipes in the cellar should be
covered 10 conserve heat, and the use
OF weather strips, storm windows and
storm doors about the house will be
valuable. Place pans or open-top Jars
of water on radiators or in front OF
registers to keep air in home moist.
