DO YOU Battle TOO
OFTEN IN WINTER ?
SOAP AND WATER DO MUCH
HARM IN COLD WEATHER,
DOCTOR DECLARES.

Few persons understand how to
protect and care for their skin IN the
cold of winter. The result is evidenc-
ed in the increasing prevalence OF
chapped hands and wrists, cracked
lips, itching legs and chilblains in
these days of silk hosiery, low shoes,
liquid soap and paper towels.
knowledge about your skin, its
structure and its functions, is ex-
tremely important, because its condi-
ton has a vital bearing on your per-
sonal health and comfort, writes Chas.
Mallory Williams, NJ D., in the Pop
ular Science Monthly If you want to
avoid all the woes that winter brings
to those with sensitive skins you must
protect your skin as far as possible.
Don't let it get cold. Try to keep your
hands and feet always warm and dry,
even if you must wear tur gloves and
heavy stockings. Above everything,
protect your feet from the wet.
Protection of the skin, however,
means more than wearing warm
clothes. One of the most important
things to guard against is an excessive
use of strong soap. Strongly alkaline
soaps, VIGOROUSLY injurious to the
skin, are doubly so in cold weather,
Even good neutral soaps may be too
strong for a very dry skin, ard there
are many persons who find it impossi-
BILE to take hot bath more than once
a week in winter on account OF the
intolerable itching it produces. A cool
bath is better, for it does not remove
so much of the natural oil OF the skin.
If YOU are blessed with sound,
supple skin with plenty OF natural oil
battle as much as you please; but it
you are cursed with skin that gets
dry and harsh in cold weather, crack
ing easily, beware OF soap and water.
Wash with warm, rather than hot
water, rinse the soap off completely,
especially if it is liquid soap and dry
the skin quickly and thoroughly i'm
mediately afterward. A wet skin is a
cold skin, and cold skin chaps. In
using paper towels be sure they are
sufficiently absorbent. A clean, soft,
dry towel is the only satisfactory kind.
After washing rub in little OF a
good hand lotion-glycerne and rose
water, an emulsion of olive oil made
up with tragacanth, pure olive oil, or
a good cold cream. The old-fashioned
country remedy of amounting the skin
with mutton tallow still is efhcacious,
whether the tallow be rubbed on the
hands or on the feet and lower legs,
which latter are especially sensitive
to the cold, since circulation there is
sluggish. The old method of rubbing
a frozen or frost-bitten part OF the
body with snow or cold water also is
as good as it ever was This treat
ment, though, should not be tried in
a warln room, for the thawing out
must be gradual. A rapid thawing,
such as wrapping the part in hot
cloths or placing it in hot water, may
result in gangrene.

Water in Ocean Gets
More Salty Each Year
Four Rivers Carry 143,S34,400 Tons OF
Salt Matter to the Sea Yearly.

Waters of the oceans of the world
are constantly becoming more salty,
in the opinion of Captain F. B. Bas-
sett, United States navy photographer.
Rivers in all parts of the globe are
daily pouring tons of salt matter into
the oceans to add to that which has
accumulated through the ages.
Every year the Mississippi river
carries to the sea 9S,369,000 tons Of
salt matter, taken from an area of
1,259,000 square miles," Bassett said.
The waters of the ST Lawrence bring
down 29,278,000 tons from an area of
10000 square miles; the Colorado de-
livers 13,416,400 tons and the Potomac
771000s tons.
The total amount of salt matter
carried to the sea each year by these
four rivers is 143,834, 400 tons, taken
from 1,780,000 square miles, at the
rate of from 90 to 102 tons for each
square mile of area drained. An aver
age of the waters of 10 rivers shows
762,587 tons of salt matter per cubic
mile of river water"

The idea in keeping the crankcase
filed with good oil in the case of
motors fabricated by the circulating
splash system is to insure better
quality for every drop of oil that is
splashed upon the walls of the

The oil dip pans, or troughs, hold

quality will be cut to the danger
point. Two quarts of oil would
heat up so rapidly as to break down
as a lubricant and seriously damage
the motor When the case is
generously supplied with oil all the
lubricant operates at lower
temperature and is thus able to
withstand heat and Adequately
lubricate the motor.
Worth Remembering
Do not shellac the cylinder head
gasket when replacing the head
after grinding in the valves. Use
hard oil, or grease. Shellac burns.
So does the grease, but the latter
leaves a sort of crust that seals the
gasket exceptionally well. Use
white lead for water gaskets and
hose connections.
Do not have the tappets adjusted
to normal clearance after grinding
in the valves. Let them be free to
pound down and get properly seated.
A straight side tire can be remov-
ed from a rim with much less eXer-
ton if the motorist will first loose
the bead of the tire thoroughly be-
fore unlocking the rim. If the bead
is allowed to stick to the rim much
difficulty will be encountered.
Jack up the front wheels when
