paper. The pattern should not be

CURE FOR CHAPPED HANDS
Cold Cream Has Taken the Place Of
All Preparations That Con-
tain GIycerine.

During the spring months many
women find it difficult to prevent
hands and lips from chapping. And
yet there is an excellent remedy at
hand in cold cream.
1t whitens the skin more than any
other preparation. 1t has taken the
place of the old-time glycerine.
1t should be we'll rubbed into the
skin and gloves-loose ones-sltpped
on. The palms of the gloves should
be slit in several places and the fin
ger tips clipped off to admit the air
and prevent cramp of the muscles.
Vaseline should never be allowed
to touch the hands. 1t turns the skin
yellow and leaves a stain on the nails
that is hard to clear away.
Cold water should be used sparing-
ly. Its action roughens the skin un-
pleasantly. Tepid water, with few
drops of ammonia and a good lather
of CASTLE or borax soap, is advisable.
If the hands are inclined to redness.
the trouble lies in the way of circula-
ton, and slight gymnastics will re-
lieve 1t.
