CLEANING THE HANDS
TRY USING COLD WATER. Hot water is not always the best for renveving grease and grime from .the hands. It hastens the job, perhaps, but does not always result in the hands being so perfectly free from dirt as might be desired. The heat opens the pores of the skin, and some of the grime sinks in, so that when the hands are cold and the skin has contracted, there are still signs of the work that has been carried out. Next time your hands are begrimed, try waslling them with cold water and notice the differenoe. It will take a little longer, but if a good cleansing preparation (of which there are quite a number to he recommended now on the market) is also used, the hands will be left in an excellent condition without any of that begrimed appearahce. The .pores are not opened so that no dirt will enter. Certain soft soaps are good for the hands when cold water is used, and these might augment a special cleansing prepara- . tion. i It is a good pian to treat thfe skin and the finger liails with' a softish soap or similar preparation before starting any dirty job; cleaning them will be much 'easier afterwards.
