Cause of Red Hands

To the Editor OF Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-Will you please tell mo the
cause of red hands? WORRIED
Red hands are often caused by house,
work without proper protection for the
hands with gloves When this Is not the
case tight clothing may contribute to the
redness, also an unwise diet or impure
soaps and carelessness in drying. Eat lean
meats, plenty of fresh green vegetables
and fruits and avoid pastries and greasy
foods. Rub a little oatmeal or cornmeaI
into the hands after washing, and always
dry thoroughly. In cold weather protect
them from the sharp air by heavy gloves
of sufficient weight.
