WHY GROW OLD?
Be Kind
To Your
Hands
By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN

Hands are always in evi-
dence and, therefore, the way
you handle them and care for
them Is important to the i'm
preston you make on others.
Nervous hands are tiring to
others and detract from your
more attractive characters
tics. Sometimes a persons
hands are so active, drum
ming. waving. clasping and
unclasping, that it is difficult
to concentrate on what their
owner Is saying.
The use of a hand lotion,
not Just once a day but after
every washing or dunking in
water, is a necessity If hands
are to remain lovely.
Do not put your hands in
hot water more often than
necessary.
Large veins in the hands
usually are inherited, and
there is not much you can do
about them. Keep them away
from very hot water. The
veins may be unusually large
or nearer the surface than
usual. or there may be a very
thin layer Of fat beneath the
skin Of the hands.
Virtually everyone needs a
cuticle cream or oil, especially
in cold, dry weather, or after
indulging in rough house
work or gardening.
Exercise can be helpful to
stiff joints. Hold your hands
in front of you. Clench your
fists. Fling the fingers out
ward and back. Clench. Fling.
Continue.
This one is fun. Hold your
right hand up in front of you.
Spread the fingers. Touch
your forefinger to your
thumb, moving the other fin
gers as little as possible.
Raise the finger. Continue
until you have touched each
finger to the thumb. After a
while do the same thing with
the left hand.

Breaking and entry goes on to some extent in every town and quite frequently here in the past few years. Two weeks ago my place was broken into and $500 worth of chain saws were stolen.

Everyone knows about it . we have city and state laws prohibiting gambling :. there is an ordinance prohibiting double parking, speeding. over time parking that are enforced, but others overlooked.

 When you compare these fi- naneial. obligations Of the gov ernment with debts of the con suners S56 billion - then the enormityZ of. the government fi- naneial obligations stands out - and Warningly so.
