Ingrown Nails.

II am in great trouble and need your
help, so please give 1t to me, DIR. Lulu.
I am 10 years old and wear size 8
shoes, and am very much overweight.
But the greatest trouble Is that have
ingrown toe nails. had one taken of,
but in about two months 1t grew back
ingrown again, and it is just about as
bad as it was before. Please tell me
all you can about these nails, because
trouble as thiS.-MARGERY."
Indeed you are too young to have
ingrowing toe nails, Margery. Every
one is too young to have them, for
that matter.
Ingrowing toe nails are usually due
to shoes that are too short or too mar
row. Occasionally the toe nail will
grow In abnormally deep after it has
started, even though the shoes are all
right, and the only thing that can be
done Is an operation which removes the
part Of the toe containing the nail, as
well as the nail. You would have to
see q surgeon for this.
The home treatment Is as follows:
Soak the foot in hot, soapy water;
separate the nail fold as far as pos
sible, and dust with boracic acid powder
or apply ichthyof ointment. Better in
sert a little strip of absorbent cotton
or lint. If there is pus formed, it's a
good idea to wash out the spot with
peroxide of hydrogen before putting
in the medication and cotton. Strap
the toe with one-half inch adhesive
strap in the following manner:
Fasten one end Of the strap on the
overlapping fold in such manner that
you can pull the adhesive around under
the toe and so pull the overlapping fold
away from the nall Garry it way
around and over the nail so that 1t will
overlap where you started, and so hold
the medication and cotton.
Cutting the toe nails straight across
instead of round is thought to prevent
the formation of ingrowing toe nails.
But it won't if shoes that are too tight
are worn. Of you do cut the nails
straight across, round of the sharp
corners with nail filel

Simple Remedy for a Wide

Many a man has suddenly real
lied that he was losing out-all be-
cause he neglected constipation too
long. This evil scourge starts with
such little things. A headache. A
listless morning. A cloudy COM
plexion.
But all the while it saps strength,
kills initiative, steals ambition. And
if allowed to continue to poison the
system, it may bring on serious
disease. Women know it as the
deadly enemy Of youth and beauty.
Men, as ability's cruelest foe.
Don't let it ever prey on you.
Guard against it. You can-with a
delicious cereal. Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN is guaranteed to pre-
vent constipation-to promptly re-
lieve it. Just eat two tablespoon

A Sermon for Today
A Bunch Of BIS.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Text: "Entreat the young men as
brethren."-I Tim. vi.
Here is a bunch of BIS which I would
like to pass on especially for the benefit
of young men.
Be careful Of your time. Don't waste
your time running around. Gadabouts
never get anywhere. The successful
men of this world are men who have
made good use Of the time loafers throw
away.
Be punctual. Punch the time clock
on the dot. There are some men who
seem to have been born late and they
seem never to have been able to catch
up their lost moments. They are
appointments, but they are always five
minutes late. Don't be as these men.
Learn to keep step with old Father
Time.
Be methodical. Don't follow the hap
hazard. hit-or-miss plan. You Will
always be "balled up" II you do. Have
a system. Work out q program ana
stick to 1t, save as you may be inter-
rupted by special calls.
Be prompt. Don't be one Of those
habitual postponers who are always
putting of present duty until some time
later. What should be done now DO
now.
Be energetic Remember the words
Of the old Book, Whatsoever thy hand
findeth to do, do with thy might"
Be square. Be square with God and
be square with your fellowmen. To be
true man you must be true In all your
relationships, both with God and with
man.
All this is commonplace, know.
Nevertheless, young man, let me en-
treat you to give heed to these things.
For these commonplace qualities are the
Qualities upon which are built all great
lives and great successes in the world Of
men and affairs.

One Gay while
he was gathering wood for fuel he
CHANGED to cut down and drag in nice
sassafras tree. The. tree was cut into
cordwood lengths and placed on the fire
before any member of the family noticed
that it was the forbidden sassafras.
A great commotion ensued. For
time it appeared that he would have
to seek other quarters than in the an
cestral farmhouse. The neighbors heard
of 1t, and predicted that bad luck would
follow in short time.
Their prophecies were borne out.
Two DAYS later Mansfield was merci-
lessly manhandled when he got the first
and only real beating in his life.
The same week an overflow occurred
in the river on which the family was
living at the time, and washed away a
brand new stake and ridered" fence
he had just finished building around an
8-acre field.
A large tract Of land that he had pre-
pared for planting corn IN the Spring
was inundated.
The overflow came at the end Of a
long, cold Winter, and great quantities
OF ice were washed out upon the public
roads. Right in the midst Of this con-
dition Of affairs, the family meal bin
became empty, and young Mansfield
was selected to 60 to the mill some
miles up the river.
With 2-bushel sack of shelled corn
and seated on the hurricane deck Of Old
John, the family horse, he started out.
He soon found the road well-nigh
impossible. When halfway to the mill
he found the road completely blocked
with huge blocks of ice foot or more
In thickness, and piled to q height of
or Z feet. He attempted to ride
around the obstruction on the side
next to the river. Here he encounter
| ed q block Of ice in the Maroon passage
way lying at an angle and extending
to the brink of the river. There was
nothing to do but ride across it.
Old John confidently stepped on the
block of ice. Suddenly his feet shot out
from under him, and horse, corn and
rider slipped over 6-foot embankment
into the river. When they came to the
surface they were widely separated. Old
John swan out on one side, Mansfield
on the other, and the sack of corn
noated swiftly down the stream.
Representative Edgar Howard wants
to see obliterated the last trace Of re-
sentiment between the followers Of Lee
and Grant and their descendants.
To accomplish this he Is asking Con-
gress to provide for joint reunion Of

Physicians Favor Use of Cascara

Doctors who warn against the
use of violent, habit forming
purgatives will tell you that
cascara is one of the gentlest and
most beneficial laxatives known
to science. Cascarets are nothing
but pure cascara, sweetened with
cane sugar and favored with
licorice. You can take them any
time that Nature needs little
help with the process of elimina-
tion-and never experience any
discomfort, nausea or unpleasant
after effects.
You can easily tell when you
are suffering from faulty elimi-
nation. You feel listless, out of
sorts, perhaps your tongue is
coated or you have a bilious,
headachy feeling. Cascarets will
clear up this sluggish feeling
every time and soon have your
The Washington times., 1929-10-01

system functioning as it should.
You needn't hesitate to give them
to children or old folks either.
Cascarets always act, and they
always act the same way; gentle
but thorough. They don't stir up
the stomach or upset the system,
but they cleanse the entire thirty
feet of bowels in one comfortable,
thorough action that leaves the
system sweet and clean. You'll
wake up feeling like new per-
son; tongue uncoated, breath
sweetened, eyes bright, appetite
on edge, life worth living again !!
Take a delicious, candy
Cascaret the next time you have
that sluggish feeling-or give
them to the children when they
are out of sorts. Full medical
endorsement proves the principle
of Cascarets is right.
