Removes Old
CutiC|e

thing practical and useful to
slip into the toe of a stocking,
let me tell you about new and
sensible nail-brush.
Most nailbrushes are disap-
pointing. They turn into Softies
in no time at all, hold dampness
hours on end and soon lose their
finish and usefulness. You can't
keep your nails Immediately
clean and well-groomed unless
you have a brush upon which
you can depend.
Every man and woman should
have nailbrush that can stand
the strain of frequent daily
scrubbings; a brush with bristles
tough enough to remove the
dead cuticle and CRIME, and
pliable enough to prevent the
ripping of healthy cuticle.
1t is no larger than two inches
by one, but it is so designed that
even daddy's big fingers will not
feel clumsy when using it. The
black bristles are set tightly in
China-like composition that has
its gay colorS baked into it, so
you can be consistant in the
color scheme of your bathroom.
Wet the bristleS in warm or
hot water and brush them across
a bar of soft soap. With light
movements, from left to right,
or right to left, as if you were
buffing your nails, brush each
finger separately. If your cuti-
Gle tends to be dry, apply a bit
of olive or castor oil on each nail
before you brush them. You will
be amazed to see how this simple
little treatment will keep your
nails free from that ragged, dry
appearance.
It's a gay, useful little affair
and, as it sheds water almost in
stantly, it will keep it's bright
ness for many months to come.
BAD Complexion
Dear Miss Shelby:
Although I am only 20 years
old, the Condition of my skin
makes me appear much older.
My face is covered with large
pores. Around my eyes are a
profusion of wrinkles. Please
tell me how I may treat this
condition. Sincerely, JIM.
Dear Miss j. M:
Do not be discouraged. At
your age the skin can be made
over in a comparatively short
time with proper care.
Since you have large pores in
your cheeks, I would advise you
to use a good medicated soap,
preferably a sulphur soap, to
wash your face. Do not use
cream on the enlarged pores.
After cleansing them with
warm water, soap and a COM
pleXion brush, pat on an
astringent or eau de cologne to
close the pores.
Around your eyes put a good
cream and use the following
massage while applying: Dip
the cushion tips of two fingers
on both hands, index and mid
die fingers, in the cream and,
with a gentle circling motion,
smooth the cream around the

MARTINSON HERE IN INTEREST
CANDIDACY OF OSCAR OLSON

Thomas Martinson of CordoYa
spent the first of the week in
Wrangell in the interest of the
candidacy of his fellow townsman,
Oscar G. Olson as Territorial trea-
surer in the primaries on April "a.
Martinson believes that by reason
of Olsons high school and business
college preparation, followed by an
intensive study of higher account
ing under La Sale, followed
further by a varied experience in
Guiding five years practical bank
ing and several other years in &C
countancy, he is we'll qualified.
both by training and experience, for
the position which he seeks on the
Democratic ticket to be treasurer
of the Territory of Alaska.
At the present time he is cashier
at the Ocean Dock at Cordova for
the Copper River & Northwestern
Railway. For six years he was agent
at Kennecott for the railroad at
the time ore to the value of mil
lions of dollars was shipped south
annually
While Olson has been associated
with office detail almost his entire
adult life, during his twenty years
in Alaska he has roughed it, Mar
tinson considered it pertinent to the
subject of Olson's fitness for an
important Territorial position that
owning his own boat, he fished in
Alaska during the seasons of 1921,
1922 and 1924, and was one of the
first to sign a petition at Cordova
for elimination of fish traps. He
readily understands the attitude of
the men engaged in the fishing in
dustry and believes in high tax
on trap caught fish until traps have
been abolished.
Mr.. Martinson left on the Yukon
for Ketchikan and will spend some
in that district.

to the enormous mortgage debt
