To prevent soreness and roughness of the
haLds, housekl, !. RS would do well to keep Il
vial of vinegar handy for use in washing the
hands. After using soap, rinse of the hands,
and wash with water having triae of vine
gar in it. A teaspoonful in a mug or tea cup
of water, or in a pint or so of water in the
washdish, is plenty strong enough for this
purpose. It soon makes the hands soft and
white.
