you can get the greatest bargains.
But ven as bargains these furs are

The sale started this morning and
ar soon as Helene and ! arrived at

models and put them away We do
this al every big sale. Then we call
up our favorite and best customers

that she had been specially invited.

who pride themselves on their
healthy and perfectly groomed
bodies, can be indulging such a
beauty destroying habit.
There i only one infallible way
to stop biting ones finger nails
and that is to STOP Do it right
this minute and don't ever do it
againl
If YOU really want to break
yourself Of this habit you can
and very easily. II all rests upon
whether vol actually want to stop
or whether you only think you
want 10. In other words, WILL
POWER, indicated by a conscious
and true desire to stop biting the
nails is the only remedy.
You may think you are nervous
and believe that a habit Of long
standing has to be handled with
great care, and offer these as an
excuse for putting off the actual
breaking Of the trait, but this atti-
tude viii not help in the least
You've simply got TO make up
your mind, ono and for all, that
YOU are not going to nibble at an
other nail and stick to II.
Therefore, the first thing Is a
change Of thought, for II is ! n the
mind that the habit is firmly en-
bedded. When you bite your fin
ger nails you are only carrying out
the message sent to the muscles by
your brain.
Next you can help 10 impress the
new habits on the brain by taking
special care Of your hands anC
nails for a few weeks, thus help
ing to undo the harm at its root.
For example, keep your hand:
immediately clean by washing
them frequently, using plenty Of
warm water and soap. Rinse the
hands carefully and when drying
them push back the cuticle.
File the nails carefully so that
all ragged edges are smoothed off
This in itself helps TO impress the
new habit on your mind. Clear
under what little nails you have
very carefully, 50 that all stains
are removed. Then, keep them that
way. Liquid polish will help K
protect the nails until they grow
out longer.
If you need further aid in re

In nephrits, or Bright's disease as it is
commonly called, there is inflammation Of the
kidneys and their function is disturbed. The
kidneys cannot take care of the waste products.
The chief variety Of the food we eat Is
called protein. For instance, lean meats and
white of egg are proteins. The main waste
materials resulting from digestion of the pro-
TENS are nitrogen and nitrogen compounds.
These are eliminated largely through the kidneys
they are the urea, uric acid and ammonia.
In checking this disease, there must be re-
of foods rich in nitrogen. At the same
time, the patient must so regulate his daily life
he will need the least amount Of protein
food. This will mean placing a limitation on his
daily physical e~xertion so there will not be a de-
m2nd for such food.
