not safely be handled with gloves. Hence
when about to dust this type Of article
It is well to follow the practise Of many

the nail is so soap clogged that no dust
can enter and when your work is over

When you have finished your housework
wash your hands with plenty of hot water
and soap and whiten them with lemon
