A Preventive of Grimy Hands.

A thorough scrubbing will not remove the dirt that seem to work right into the skin on the hands when handling some makes of electric wires or working about machines that are covered with oil and dirt. A correspondent of Electrical Review uses a coating thoroughly rubbed on the hands before starting to work which prevents the grime from entering the pores of the skin. The preventive consists of 4oz. of grain alcohol, 3oz. of glycerine and 3oz. of water. The mixture quickly dries on the skin, and after work a washing with soap and water will quickly remove all dirt.
