an attempt has been made to cut
the nail in an arc instead OF
straight across.
The normal toenail grows
straight out from the root of the
nail slightly beyond the end OF
the toe. Because of certain FASH
ionable standards Of aesthetics,
many people wish to see their nails
shaped in rounded or even
pointed arc, necessitating regular
cutting away of the corners Of the
nail to gain the desired effect.
CUT NAILS STRAIGHT
Cutting out the corners of the
nail turns out to be by no means
the smooth, filed down effect 1t APP
pears to the eye at first, for as the
nail grows, the corners become very
sharp and ultimately dig painfully
into the side cushions of soft tissue
with the unhappy result implied in
the term ingrown toenail.
Pain, redness and swelling along
the margin of the great toenail
are likely to be indications of an
ingroWn toenail. The infection
often recurs several times and
usually in the great toe. Ingrown
toenail is painful, temporarily
Gripping, and sometimes capable of
producing constitutional symptoms.
If the latter develop, along with
fever, it Is good idea to seek
medical care. Watching the tenn
perature if the toe is swollen is
always advisable. Ill-fitting shoes,
or even tight hose, are not primary
causes, but do pave the way and
aggravate ingrown toenail by in
creasing the pressure on the soft
tissue and nail.
RELIEVING PRESSURE
The treatment of ingrown toe
nail consists of elevating the edge
of the nail on the involved side so
that the projecting piece Of nail
is relieved from contact with the
skin. and placing small twist or
f1eck Of cotton or a piece of gut
tapercha beneath the nail Then
permit the nail to grow out beyond
the soft tissue and subsequently
cut 1t straight across.
When the skin has become in
fected as evidenced by redness and
swelling next to the nail, pain may
be relieved by soaking the foot in
warm boric acid solution or EPSON

1.-THE results of this attack even
tually will be apparent in a short
age of German tanks, planes, guns
and armored vehicles on the Rus
sian, Mediterranean and Western
fronts and in a showdown IN Sub
marine construction.
The raiding crews were told be-
fore they took off that successful
completion of their mission might
shorten the war by six months,
another indication of the impor-
lance attached to the target by
the American command.
That the Germans placed SIM
ilarly high assessment on the
Schweinfurt plant was seen in the
strength of their defenses. The
heavy bombers had to blast their
way through what a USAAF au-
thority described as 'the stiffest
and fiercest fighter opposition IN
the history of aerial warfare"

said that photographs taken over

NAZl'S VOLTURN0
FRONT CRACKING
Continued From Page One)

Allied right flank are reported
meeting with relatively meagre re-
sistance as they enlarge their grip
on the northeastern slope of the
peninsula. They now appear to
have cleared the whole length of
the Northumberland road as well
as having forced the Biferno line
at various points and turned its
sea flank by leap-frog landings
north of it's mouth between Termoli
and Vasto.
There is no intimation from any
official Allied source that the cam
paign in Italy is being delayed
seriously by Nazi rear-guard ac-
ton. On the contrary, much sug-
gests that it is well ahead of the
expected schedule despite the fight
for the Salerno beaches, the time
necessary to pry the enemy loose
from Naples and the work across
the Volturno.
The primary military detectives
of that campaign obviously are to
secure closeup bases in Italy for
future air action against Germany
or against the Nazi-held Greek pen
insula and the Balkans. That has
been done and the cost to the
Nazis of that Allied success will
be cumulatively apparent as the
bombs begin to fall in Rumania
and on Nazi war plants in south
eastern Germany.
There may be good and suffi-
cient political reasons to press the
march on Rome at the most rapid
pace possible with due regard to
military prudence and the mini
MIXING of Allied battle casualties.
It is true also that air bases about
Rome would cut the distance to
vulnerable Nazi war industries just
that much. In a strictly military
sense, however, tn e Italian
campaign has already accomplish
ed its prime purpose. 1t has made
tWo-front air warfare on Germany
possible and one Allied air vet
eran, Brigadier General Curtis L.
LIE May, commanding the Ameri-
can heavy bombardment division
in Britain, is quoted as saying
that would be enough to end Nazi
resistance power by next spring.
