Yet all ravage may be counteracted if a nourishing oil Is supplied, and the nail kept young indefinitely, since it responds to care more quickly than any other part of the body.
 Proper treatment consists in mas saging them well with a suitable cream whenever there is any tendency to brittleness, taking care to rub it well into the part where the nail grows out of the skin. Any cream in which there are good oils will nourtsh, but slightly astringent, as this property tends to keep the cutic1e from grow ing over the naiI-a fact that will be appreciated at the time of manieur- ing. The best cream that I know of, and one that answers every re- auirement is made as follows:
 Synthetic ambroI ...... 2 drops

 White Usol, PetroIatum drams
 The last two ingredients are melted and the other two are added, the whole stirred and poured off into a small jar before cold.

FEEDING THE FINGERNAIIS

Most people feel if they have the nails manicured once a week or so, they have done all that should be re- quired. Often they write and ask why nails receiving so much attention should lose their freshness in a few days. One woman insists that she never neglects her nails since she gives them the daily bufEng and keeps the euticle from tightening over the base of the nail every day in between her regular manicure, yet her nails are full of ridges and break off if allowed to grow to any length.
 In all such cases the trouble comes from neglecting to feed the nails in between the manicures. If a small amount of cream had been rubb ed into them each day, there would not have been as much need for the larger task. While a manicure is a. health treatment, it is not enough to keep nails that are dry in perfect con- dition.
 In many cases the periodical mani cure, plus slight amount of daily care, will be ali that is needed to at tain nails that are shell pink in tint. Such nails belong to youth and people of exceptionally good health. But in the case of older people, or those having a dry skin, the nails will be brittle and require feeding with an oil which not only softens but nour- ishes as well. Since the nail is part of the skin, a deficient amount of secretion from the skin means a starved nail.
 Then we abuse the nails by using caustic soaps, or immersing our flng-

''H0OTCH" TIDlNGS ARE
 WARBLED BY BIRD

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 7.-Verily the ways of hootch distributors are tricky. They invent new ruses most every day to slip something over on MT. vostead's enforcement agents Here's the very latest.
 Joe Sovostnaka lives iii Mifflin Township, this county, It's 8 rural and mountainous section, with a seat tering of houses, and some of them inhabited by foreigners. Joe has a pet canary he calls Vodka"
 Joe prespered greatly, as he made and sold the prohibited stuff.
 County Detective Mike" McDer- mott is a most suspicious old soul He has nosed around Mifflin Town ship quite a bit. He observed that the canary Vodka was on the front porch only on certain days and even- ings. A day or two ago he was walk ing along the street, and Vodka was hung out and singing for dear life.
 ''I wonder why that wheezy old bird is out thera today?" rnuttered McDer- mott. So he entered Sovostnaka's home. He confiseated everything but the bird. He took back to the court house a still and some moonshine Ii. quor.
 McDermott informed the county au- thorities that Sovostnaka used his singing bird to hawk his wares and let his regular trade" know when he was ready to supply them. The bird was the salesman.
 Now Sovostnaka is in jail here charged with violating the Eighteenth Amendment.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENT
 Dear Doctor:
 Twill you kindly tell me what I
 could do to atop my legs and feet
 from itching? Every night when l take off my stockings I could just tear
 them to pieces. I am nearly 50 years
 old and heavy on my feet, l have
 been taking kidney and liver pills but they don't sem to do m any good.
 Walking out or if I do too mucn working around I am just crazy with pain and if I stop for IS minutes II rests me a lot. Otherwise I am in splendid health.-E. F.'
 The technical name for the condi- tion on your legs is known as Pruris
 tus, from the Latin word meaning to
 itch. Pruritus is characterized by a
 sensation of itching which is not pro- duced originally by skin disorders. It
 may be general or partial. It usually
 begins by tickling or crawling or
 itching sensation in the skin.
 Your expression that you could
 "just tear them to pieces" is quite
 characteristic; and while there is ap-
 parently no skin disorder in the be- ginning, this tearing them to pieces soon results in the real inflamma tion of the skin.
 The different forms given in the text book are: Senile Pruritus, thai form occurring in the aged, which is due to degenerative changes in the skin; P. Genitallium, in which the ex- ternal genital organs are affected-in these cases there should be made a search for worms and g. urinalysIs
 and an exarhination for internal geni- tai disorders; P. Ami, itching around the anus. the external opening or the rectum; P. Palmtae ct Planteae, in which the itching is limited to the palms and soles; P. Hiemalis, a frost itch or winter itch, a disorder oi northern climates. The causes of Pruritus are many
 and it Is often difficult to determine which particular one is acting in 3 given ease. It is probably due te some sort of Irritation of the nerves of the skin. It Is frequently a symp- | tom of internal disorders, jaundice Bright's disease. diabetis. It is com mon in the gouty and rheumatic aac neuretic. It Is often due to auro- intoxicatien and disturbances Of the digestion. It may be due to drugs. In your case, inasmuch as you acknowledge being heavy on your feet

 His high spirits spread to those about him even penetrated the gloom of his wife. Her mind began to settle to a normal state; and as a | consequence, the shadow that haunt ed it began to recede. Just as she emerged from her naNs rowing state of melancholy fear, the Rev. Dr. Phillips called on her. Your husband is such a busy man that I suppose he has not had time to think of the poor devil of whom I spoke?'' he said.

 Her mind seized at once the un- pleasant possibilities of the proposed visit.
 q hardly think a personal appeal would do any good. I am sure my husband has the utmost confidence in you" she faltered.
 But if he saw thtst wreck of a man, don't you think it might arouse responsive note in him? ?" he per- sisted.
 Harvey knows his story" she re- piled with some animation. Tt is useless to bring about a personal in- terview. am sure if you spoke to my husband again he would do some thing. I will urge him to find posi- ton for the man--to send him out of the city. Don't you think it best to send him as far from New York as possible ?''
 Most assuredly do.'
 T will make it a personal matter to urge Harvey to do something for him at once"

CHAPTER III. The Invisible Coil.

The Invisible Coil. Mrs. Lake kept to her room for week, seeking solitude. yet dreading to be alone.
 Ethel was out most of the day, pur- chasing her trosseau. Try as she might. she could not switch the current of her thoughts
 from her past.
 Several times she was on the point of telling her husband all; but each
 time the confession died away unut- tered
 Had she told Harvey before therr marriage, had she been frank in the l first place-she would not now be living in this nightmare of apprehen- I sion.
 The incidents of her past grouped | themselves before her. She had been engaged to Burke; had been an innocent accomplice in his crime. Yes. she was innocent, but the jury had believed otherwise. She recalled the awful moment when | the foreman pronounced her Guilty There was the year in the reforma- tory. And then came her release on | probation. She remembered distinctly the words of the superintendent. If she broke her parole she would
 have to go baek-to serve four more l SOc1AS' AAS 4aw was 44tS<AoA aug Oll l that point.
 She had broken her parole delib- erately and had fled to her aunt in Kansas.
 If she only hald told Harvey Lake before the engagement, how easy her mind would be nowi But no, she had suffered him to remain i1 ignorance, and her silence was a deceit that mefited her present punishment, If Harvey had been an obscure en- ployee of the railroad, if he had re- mained in Kansas City, it would be
 mparatively easy to tell hin-even today. There would be no danger in another state.
 But now she was back in New Yofk-the police could arrest her on tight and return her to the referma- tory. If Burke recognized her. or if by chance she met any of the officials with whom she had come in contact she knew the doom that was in store for her.
 The very prominence of her hus5 band made the situation more un- bearable. What a choice morse1 her arrest would be to the newspapers. What a crushing blow it would be to her husband!

frightened into resolve. She would tell her husband-tell him everything tonight. She would risk his answer, face his scorn, and then leave.
 Of one thing she was certain - she could not bear to live in New York. She would get away-escape before the dreadful recognition.
 She was knitting the resolve into her heart when suddenly Ethel swept into the room.
 tfCome look at my trosseaa,'' Ethel exclaimed. Nearly all the things have arrived
 Mrs. Lake aecompanieds Bethel 10 her room in a dumb stupor. She tried hard to join in the delight of the girl, but she looked at the finery with iistless eyes. Her emotions were too violent to permit of counterfeittng a happiness she did not feel.
 You are deathly pale" Ethel re- marked suddenly. Come. you had better lie down.
 That night Harvey came home in a high state of excitement. He aI- most leaped into his wife's room, ready to burst with the joy of mo- mentous happening. He seized nis wife in his arms and squeezed her tight against his form.
 Have you seen the papers? Have you seen the papers?" he exclaimed.
 She drew back feebly.
 "No, I haven't read the papers, g she replied weakly.
 tThen, you don't know - you haven't heard the great news."

 All the life seemed to flow out of her body. A siekly paller spread over her cheeks.
