spIinters n the Fingers.

When you get splinter in your fin
ger 1t Is sometimes possible to get at 1t
by pressing the point Of a needle under
1t, but unless you have deft fingers or
a pair of tweezers you may not lie able
to pull 1t out even then. A new pen nib
is very good substitute for d pair Of
fweezcrs. Lay the nib over the splinter
90 rs to hide 1t. Then press down hard
enough to separate the nibs. II you
now let the pen down level with the
splinter and allow the nibs to close
again they will take hold and you can
draw the splinter out Remember that
any metal thing that is to be applied
to wound. such as a needle, penknife
or pen. should be passed lightly through
fame first, SO as to disinfect it. A
gas Jet or a match VIII do.
