Machinists' Hands.

People who work in machine shops
and factories suffer from the injurious
effects on the skin of such substances
as oil, grease, Varnish, lacquer and va
rious solvents. It Is difficult or impoS-
sible for many of these workers to
wear rubber or other gloves while at
work.
In one large electric manufacturing
plant a skin cream composed as fol-
lows has given much satisfaction as a
protective for the hands and arms OF
workers: Gum arabic, four pounds
soap chips laundry soap, 10 pounds;
water, IA pounds; hydrous wool fat,
two pounds; acid red (small amount
to COLOR; oil Of lemongrass, four
ounces.
The gum arabic makes the cream
slightly adhesive. Common laundry soap
Is inexpensive. The oil of lemongraSs
is added to give the cream pleasing
odor To make the cream heat some of
the water and stir in the gum arabic
little by little till a clear mucilage is
obtained. Dissolve the soap chips in
some more water. Finally mix the two.
and after they have cooled a bit, work
in the wool fat and add the color and
scent.
The workman scrubs his hands and
arms, rinses and dries them perfectly
and then rubs into the skin a little
of the cream, wipes OF the excess, and
goes to work.
Another skin protective which has
been used with satisfaction by printers
is mixture of lanolin wool fat and
olive oil, equal parts. used in a similar
way. Printers will find Sawdust mois-
tened with liquid soap less irritating
than most hand cleanSerS for removal

Zinc) pulveriZed and passed through a
100-mesh sieve, three parts; gelatin,
four parts; glycerin, five parts; water,
six and one-half parts. This must be
mixed up into a smooth paste with the
aid of heat. 1t cools into a solid block.
To apply it, melt the block in double
boiler, stir with a paint brush, and
when it cools somewhat, paint a coat
over the affected area of skin, and
before it sets tap lightly all over with
bunch of absorbent wool so as to
this to dry completely. Some printers
find they can remain at work with such
protective dressing on the hands. The
dressing may be left on till it becomes
loose. Then peel it off and apply a
new coat in the same way.
For simple chapping or irritation of
the hands: the old familiar boric-
glycerin lotion is soothing. Women
whose hands suffer from hot water and
irritating soaps or cleansers find that
this lotion, regularly used, keeps the
skin soft, smooth and white. Some men
apply it to the face after shaving. Pre-

Going Into Debt to Save.

Often we hear young women who

Just as often as not, however. the re-
suit Of going heavily into debt may
be a crushing. demoralizing defeat.
One cannot help but think what
will happen to the hopeful young per-
sons carrying the unjustified debt, If
they should suddenly be forced to
stop earning, or If other unforeseen
needs required their surplus.
Many a youth coming out of COL
lege, weighted down with debts, has
had the fine edge taken off the first
promising years Of his career by the
uneven struggle of trying to go forward
while carrying a burden too heavy for
young shoulders.
Young women who go into debt to

Burned Saucepans are sometimes
filled with soda and water in order to
remove the burned portions, but this
method is liable to make them burn
more easily when they are used again.
The best way is to I'LL them with salt

be brought to the boiling point. BY
this means the burned parts are easily
removed and there are no bad after

A Visit to Hartsville

There are experiments with
other plants besides Gotten. Re-
cent tests of a cross between
two well-known species of oats
give promise Of the elimination
Of the curse known as smut.
In the present situation
with cotton selling at the lowest
price in thirty years, and all
manner of remedies being pro-
posed-it was inevitable that |
should ask Mr.. Coker for his
idea of the best way of saving
the cotton growers from ruin.
He showed me a letter that he
had sent to the Chairman of the
Federal Farm Board. presenting
a plan drafted by a Darlington
county farmers committee OF
which Mr.. Coker is the leading
member. This letter is as fol
lows:
Present prices for the cotton
crop will practically complete
the bankruptcy of the agricul-
tural South, Many additional
| banks and businesses which de,
pend directly or indirectly upon
agriculture will undoubtedly
close their doors. Distress and
unemployment will increase to
an alarming extent.
We submit that these condi-
1ions and threatening dangers
should be aNerted or ameliorated
if there is any possible way o.
doing 50, and, we further sub
nit, that the Farm Board has
the power and can command the
resources greatly to improve the
>ltJatlon, present and pfospec-
tive.
We suggest that the Farm
Board offer to purchase one-half
of thtAcrop Of every cotton grow :
er at a price we'll (Say lc) above
the market. This would mean
now Approximately 7c, basis

Let the Farm Board give the
grower at time Of purchase an
obligation to pay him Sc per
pound additional one year hence
(more if justified by condltlons)
provided the grower can show
the Farm Board, before due
date Of obligation, that he has
curtailed acreage on all lands
owned or controlled by him not
less than 500

Board would buy nearly half the
crop on these terms as the grow

hence. 1t is assumed and be-

ton.
1t is assumed that the Farm
Board would receive around
100000 bales in response to
