Strain OF Homework on Hands

they have a tendency to be brittle and
thus prevent danger of their breaking.
When the hands have been in warm
water the skin about the nails is very
pliable. 1t will save time and trouble
if, Immediately, the cuticle is pushed
down at the base of the nail end
pressed back In the sides. Then when
the skin gets dry and taut the nails will
be neat and trim looking and hang
nails will be warded off. II this cutlcle
is pressed back when the hands are
coldu, the skin is brittle and llangnAils
will result. These are not only annoy
ing, but they may be disastrous to stock
ings, for If a hAng-nail catches the
weave 1t pulls the silk, makes Q bad
spot, and may even cause run.
Wash the hands whenever possible,
after exposure to the out-of doors air,
rather than before. When the hands
are wet and cold. air dries the upper
cuticle so quickly that it cracks very
easily and then chapped hands result.
Most hands. If they are dry, will stand
considerable cold without chappink. II
hands are damp, therefore, be sure to
dry them well before exposing them to
cold. A wise precautioh, If the skin is
very susceptible to changes Of ternpera-
ture, is to rub in just a tribe Of some
oily hand lotion. vaSelire or oil, BEFORE
they are exposed to cold air.
It is wise to remember that nails
should always be rubbed with emery
boards when the nails are dry, and
never when they are soft and moist.
Nails rubbed down to shorten them in
stead OF being cut are said to keep the
desired thin texture.

A Sermon for Today
. ~ Z - ~. :.
sY REV. John Il. GUM.
The JOYFUL Habit.


"My soul shall be joyful in the Lord"
Psalms, 35:ix.
Not sad not melancholy. not gloomy,
but joyful. The psalmist knew all those
experiences that tend to make one sad,
melancholy and gloomy, but he had
learned to trust in the Lord and face
life with a joyful heart. He had learned
that there was nothing to be gained by
yielding to moods of depression and
dependency. He had cultivated the
joyful habit.
It would make life different thing
for us all, il we would cultivate this
habit And mark this, that the JOY
full habit is one that requires cultivat-
ing. Experiences come to us all that
tend to produce a feeling of despond-
ency and helpleSSneSS. But in spite OF
these experiences, we can, If we will,
cultivate and maintain cheerful mood.
All that would be necessary to do TINS,
would be to exercise little more faith
and put forth little more persistent
and sustained effort.
surely the gains that result from the
joyful habit are worth striving for. The
gains are manifold For one thing, we
can do better and more effective work
when we are in joyful spirit. Joyful
ness lends Zest and inspiration for all
the services to which duty calls us.
Another thing, to keep ourselves IN
G happy mood serves as safeguard
against temptation. A simple, joyous
heart instinctively shrinks from wrong
enjoyment of every kind.
Who are the most triumphant when
troubles and adversely come? We know
from common observation that habitu-
ally joyful souls best sustain the trying
and sorrowflil seasons Of life.
Therefore, let us learn to face life
toyfully. We have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by maintaining the
joyful habit.
