Weak Fingernails.

THE artificial fingernails that have
received considerable publicity re-
Gently are in the same category as
artificial eyelashes While both afford
a short cut to beauty, they are not
likely to achieve a really wide popu-
larity. Yet there are many women
who are really quite discouraged about
the poor appearance of fingernails that
will not grow to graceful length with
out breaking or splitting. Nails of this
sort give an urkempt look even to
shape1y and carefully manicured
fingers. Usually in cases like this
there is a difference in the degree
of brittleness of the nails. Half OF
them may be more fragile than the
other five so that some are broken
off short while some are fairly long.
All, however, are weaker than the
average.
There are several possible causes of
excessive brittleness Of the nails, in
ternal and external. Frequently this
condition is due to poorly balanced
diet which keeps the body in an un-
dernourished state. This in turn often
predisposes to nervousness and the nail
biting habit Since nail varnishes and
varnish removers have a very drying
effect on the fingernails, those who use
them too much are troubled with a
growing fragility of the nails. Any
other external agent that tends to
make the nails excessively dry will
cause brittleness if the nails are regu-
larly exposed to its action.
To remedy nail brittleness one must,
of course, try to find and remove the
cause. In addition, local treatments
will help. No attempt should be made
tn wear 1onp-pointed nails On the
contrary, the nails should be filed al
most straight for about four weeks,
during which time they should receive
a daily soaking in warm olive oil. To
keep the oil warm, set it in bowl Of
hot water AL the fngertips should be
soaked for 10 minutes by the clock after
having been well buffed with polish
ing powder. The bufing should be re-
peated after the hands have been re-
moved from the oil and dried. This
treatment stimulates the circulation in
the nail bed. Liquid nail polish should
not be used during this course of SIM
pie treatments. At the end of a month

ter in hearts than in any other declara-
ton because the responding hand is
unlikely to have any way Of getting the
lead unless hearts are trumps; espe-
cially If he lacks the ace, as his weak
bidding appears to show. This lack of
entries might be fatal in no trumps or

and my partner bid two hearts over
my original no trump, I would nat
urally bid two no trumps. hoping to
hear him raise me to three. II, how
ever, his bid were three hearts. I would
now bid three no trumps. With no
danger from the heart suit. this must
be the best bid. There is no point in
showing clubs. If my partners hand
has absolutely no values outside hearts.
and the hearts are six in number, or
five to the ace, queen, he would be
showing sound judgment in bidding
four hearts. He knows I have at least

The only conditions which would
cause me to bid three clubs over two

would be an instance OF this. This
hand has two weak spots and the only
excuse for opening with a no trump
would be the gamble that partner could
raise to two no trumps, or. If he first
took out in a suit, had enough distrib-
uted values to bid three no trumps over
my panic rebid Of three clubs.
The temptation to bid no trump is
that club bid is likely to throw the
no-trump bid into the partners hand,
and the above hand has much to gain
from being declarer if no trumps is the
eventual bid. Not only should the
opening lead come up to its kings in
stead of through them, but this hand
needs to be concealed as declarcr, not
exposed as dummy.

Your Baby and Mine
complementary Feelings.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

COMPLEMENTARY feelings are
boon and a blessing when
I the mother is able to supply
~ baby with only part of his
nourishment but is unsuc-
cessful in keeping him wholly satisfied.
The complementary bottle, which
makes up or compliments the deficient
breast feeding, is given directly after
each nursing. Sometimes a bottle is
needed after every nursing. sometimes
after only one or two. At the early
morning hours, and 10 am, there is
apt to be ample nourishment and the
baby will show himself Indifferent to
any extra feeding. At 2 and pm.
the situation is reversed, and baby will
be ravenous for these additional ounces
1t is better for the feelings to be of
equal size, as there is little waste in
such small feelings, and then baby
can take what he likes of each bottle
My leaflet, How to Prepare Compile
mentary Feelings" is available to any
mother. Remember to send a self
addressed, stamped envelope to this
department with your request for the
leaf1et.
The milk used for complement
tary feelings must be clean and
handled as carefully as for any feed
ings. One may safely use pasteurized
grade A milk, evaporated or dried milk,
Tactic acid or buttermilk Water and
sugar make up the rest of the formula.
We may be somewhat casual about
amounts. because baby gets only a
small part of each feeding by bottle,
the largest portion being breast milk
Often complementary feelings may be
discarded for the young baby as the
mother grows stronger.
1t is inadvisable to nurse baby any
longer than 20 minutes at the breast,
and many babies are satisfactorily sup
piled after 5 to 10 minutes of nursing.
The fact that a baby still cries after
this longer period would indicate the
need for complementary feelings rather
: than heightened breast feeding.

Old Man Coyote Is Discreet.
Trouble goes half way to meet
People who are indiScreet.
Old Man Coyote.

|O be discreet is to do nothing
rashly, to take no chances. to
consider carefully before acting
i and then doing the thing least
likely to bring trouble For
the most of the time Old Man Coyote
is very discreet person. There are
times when, like everybody else, he
does foolish and rash things, but it is
seldom. That is why he has managed
to keep out Of serious trouble He Is
called smart, and he is smart. Being
discreet is part of that smartness.
Taking chances seldom pays" says
Old Man Coyote. 1T often leads to
more loss than gain A sure thing
always is better than an uncertainty"

emily he came to great windfall A
windfall, you know. is a great tangle
of fallen trees which have been up
rooted by wind in some great storm.
For certain very good reasons of his
own he wasn't interested in that wind
fall. He knew all about it, or thought
he did He had visited it in the Win
ter. and since then had kept away
from it. So now as he trotted past.
hurrying a little, he merely glanced at
an opening under the great windfall.
1t was big enough for him to enter
with ease. But he had no desire to
enter. Not at first, anyway. In fact,
he increased his pace ever so little,
SO as to get past quickly.
And then, just as ne was almost past,
his ears caught a sound that caused
him to stop abruptly. 1t was faint
sound, faint whine Old Man Coyote
turned his head trifie to one side,
with his ears cooked, and listened. He
heard it again. 1t was plaintiff little
whine.
Young and tender" murmured Old
Man Coyote. Young and tender. and
wants its mamma. That means she
isn't at home. Young, tender and
alone!" Old Man Coyote licked his
lips. Then he sat down facing that
hole under the windfall. He sat down,
cooked his ears the better to listen,
opened his nostrils wide, the better to
smell, and stared fixedly into the dark
ness Of the entrance beneath the wind
fall. the better to see.
His ears told him that there was a
baby of some kind in there. His nose
told him what kind of baby it was.
But his eyes told him nothing at all.

1t was too dark in there for even his

His ears and his nose had told him
all that he needed to know.

again. and licked his lips Young and
tender and helpless, and need a good

that kind. and I should like to try it.
I am sure it is good eating"
He hastily looked all about. He tested

listened. not for that faint whine, but
for sounds outside that windfall. He

found. These trees grew chiefly in the
rich. fertile bottom lands and the
early settlers cut them down by the
thousands to make way for their crops.
The wood was found to be very valua-
BILE because of its strength, lightness
and elasticity. 1t was used to make
carriages. buggy wheels. handles and
many necessary implements needed

were valuable as food for man and

The name hickory is believed to be
of Indian origin and the early rec

no less than II ways. 1t is also
claimed that John Smith, who was
prominent in the affairs of Virginia
and New England. when speaking the
the hickory in his writings, was the
first to mention them, and he called
them by their Indian name, Pow
cohiscora." Later the name dwindled

Shellbark Hickory.
Carya Ovata.

A CCORDING to geological rec
n ords about 100000 years ago
Il ancient forests of hickories
1 \ were found in Europe and
those of America extended as
far North as Greenland. These forests
we're wiped out by the great shets Of
ice that came down from the North and
since that time no hickories have been
found in Europe. AS the ice sheets did
not cover the entire range Of the
hickories, Eastern North America has
all but one Of the known hickories OF
the world.
The shellbark also known as the
shagbark, resembles the oak in gen.
eral outline The lower branches are
large and. although rising as they leave
the trunk, their tips are spread and
for their entire length they are gnarled
and knotted, giving an effect OF
strength and sturdiness. The larger
branches have scaly bark toward their
bases, but the tips are smooth. The
sprays are angular and extend in every
direction
Shellbarks are father-mother trees.
They have staminate and pistillate
flowers on the same tree. Those bear
ing the pollen grow at the base OF
the seasons shoots. They are long
green catkins, three in group swing
ing from common stem. The pis-
tillate flowers grow at the tips Of the
seasons shoots, singly or in two or
three on a common stem. Like all
hickory leaves, the shellbarks are COM
pound and arranged alternately along
the twigs. In the Autumn they are a
clear, beautiful yellow.
In the Fall the fruit or nut has a
thick. smooth outer husk, which is
channeled at the seams and opens
readily when the nut is ripe, The
sweet white kernel is covered by a
sharply angled shell.
The shellbark is an untidy tree, be-
cause it has a habit of shedding its
raiment in shreds and strewing its cast
off garments about. In spite Of this
habit, it is handsome tree and OF
great value to mankind.
The hickory trees were among the
first trees the early American settlers

liberation on legislation is a cherished
prerogative. Every President finds that
out sooner or later. Roosevelt knew it

So the presidential guns were
trained on the House. Literally bar

down. At times they came SO fast that
it left the Congressman bewildered
Take the month of March, for ex-
ample. The session was convened on
March 9. Here's the rapidity with
which the presidential guns rained
messages ION the hill":
On the opening day came the emer-
gency banking bill. (This measure was
passed by both houses and signed by
the President before the day was over }
On the next day, March 10. the econ
omy measure, calling for drastic re-
ductions in governmental expenditures,
landed in the lap of the House.
Then week end intervened, but
three days later. on the morning Of
March IA, came that most surprising Of
all measures, the beer bill
The echo of the Presidents demand
for beer hardly had subsidized before the
far-reaching farm bill reached the
House on March 16.
He waited five days until March 81
before sending up a message recon-
mending the creation of the civilian
