Cleanliness is the first essential
and therefore w hen rough work has
to be done it is well, if possible, to
put on gloves. Preventing is better
than cure, and as nothing soils the
hands like getting them grimed this
should be avoided as far as possible.
It is however, not always possible to
wear gbves for dirty work, to one
must be prepared for on e hands be
ing sometimes very muce soiled.
When Ibis is the case, dont go to
work upon them with soda, soap and
a brush, for that would roughen
them dreadfully. Instead take some
vaseline, lard or oil and rnb it into
the hands, and then wash them
thoroughly with a good toilet soap
and a piece of flunne! in warm watM.
The flannel will soon clean them
and without injuring the skin in
any way. It it far better than a
nailbrush gor ordinary use; and, if
used regular?, a nailbrush will be
found almost if not entirely super
flous. That is a thing to be remem
bered, for the vse of a brnsh rough
ens the finger tips and culls and
makes them more liable to l,V!:te
soiled than viiey need be.
