Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD Correct Techniques Will Result In Proper Care of Hands, Nails By Ertta Haley Keep Cool! j hands, whether they work BUSY home, office, garden or club, need care to keep them looking lovely, feeling comfortable and able to do their various jobs ef-ficiently. Hand or nail beauty, just ai facial or figure beauty, doesn't just hap-pen. Because hands are busy, they need just as much, if not more, care than hair, figure or clothing. They are almost constantly in use during your waking hours. If your hands and naib happen to look nice without much care, chances ere that you're pretty lucky, or that you've adopted cor-rect tcchinques in caring for them without much thought. If they don't look as lovely as you want them to be, then it's a relatively simple mat-ter to get them into proper shape as most hands yield quickly to some attention. Certain jobs and conditions pe-culiar to the hot weather demand that you give extra attention to the hands to keep them at the peak of condition. If you're gardening, for example, hands can easily be-come coarse and rough, with nails broken and uneven. Then, too, if you're active In sports, you may develop certain . , ' ' l-'r- "' h -- , J t, I f v. . t You can keep cool and look lovely at the same time with this dressy bright blue-gree- n silk organza plalded with a thin line of black. This New York dress Is designed over an undersllp of green trepe, fastened in jet In double-breaste- d effect and belted In black patent. Ing can usually be removed by rubbing the hands lightly with oily polish remover on cotton balls or pads, kept conveniently near the wash stand. Polish remover is an excellent solvent for most types of stains, and it's not harsh. If you've been picking berries or doing some dyeing and the hands are stained badly, try lemon juice and water, or a mild bleach made of hydrogen peroxide and water. Follow either treatment by thor-oughly washing and rinsing the hands, then an application of lotion or cream. Certain kitchen tasks leave the hands with odors on them, such as cutting onion or garlic. In this case, rub the finger tips with salt, and the hands with a slice of lemon. Lather the hands under cold run-ning water. A deodorant soap Is also good for eliminating odors from the hands. If rings leave stains on the fin-gers, as often happens with cos-tume iewelrv. it's a eood Idea to Wash oily bands frtqutntly . , , ore fingers or even bumps on some of the digits that are not only uncomfortable but also unhappy looking. Canning, cleaning, laundry Jobs' around the house as well as grimy office Jobs may well take their toll of both hands and nails. Given proper care, even for such stren-uous activities, hands can continue to look beautiful in spite of all they have to do. Give Hands Protection With Creams, Lotions One of the most Important things to learn about hand care Is to pre-vent damage before it's done. If you're about to plunge into work which is guaranteed to take its toll on hand beauty, don't wait until the hands look bad before doing treat the ring rather than the fin-gers. Wash the ring thoroughly, then coat it with colorless nail polish. This keeps the acids of the fingers from acting on the metal of the ring which causes the stains. Nail Care Requires Proper Technique Nail troubles are common when the hands are required to take abuse, but many of them can be avoided. Take hang nails, for ex-ample, which can be avoided with sufficient care to the cuticle. The cuticle should be kept soft by massage with hand cream or lotion. Afater the cuticle has been properly softened, push it back apply polish to protect nails. something about it. Take precau-tions to prevent whatever damage you can. Lotions or creams applied to the hands before doing office work such as filing, gardening, canning, laun-dry or cleaning, act as protective agents and prevent a great deal of damage to the actual skin and nails. Naturally these should be ap-plied again after the task Is over. If hands are dry, use the more gentle of the creams and lotions available. If they're too oily, they should be washed as frequently as possible. Hands which have already be-come rough and coarse, should have frequent applications of hand cream and enough massage to stim-ulate the circulation, thus helping to rejuvenate the skin more quick-ly. Gloving the hands is another good way of protecting them, not only for the rough tasks which they must perform, but also when going out. For gardening, use canvas gloves after a generous massage and application of tream or lotion. For dish washing, laundry and other such tasks about the house a pair of rubber or plastic gloves will give nice protection, Eliminate Stains On Hands, Fingers It's poor practice to let hands become stained when gloves can be worn to protect them, but there are some tasks that cannot be done with gloves, such as many types of office work. Harsh stain removers and bleaches will clean the hands, but they may also roughen them. First step toward keeping the hands and fingers from becoming too stained is to apply a cream or lotion which Is but which will coat the hands lightly. Then, as soon as you're finished working, wash the hands thorougly in lather and water. Difficult stains left after wash- - very gently with an orange stick. I When soft, the cuticle does not break, so it should be pushed only after an oiling or creaming. Hangnails can also be prevented by shaping the comers of the nails no closer than 116 of an inch from the skin. Nails that split and break easily should be treated internally as well as externally. The diet should contain plenty of calcium, vitamin C and D. This means sufficient orange juice and milk daily. The hands should be oiled (with cuticle oils) especially at the cuticle to prevent dryness. Avoid shaping the nails too sharp-ly or too closely at the corners. If they are shaped short, and to a neat oval, they will fare better. Several coats of nail polish, either colorless or colored can prevent any of the splits from catching as you work with the hands. Those who do much work with their hands can increase the life of their manicures by keeping the nails a short oval shape. Picking up things with the balls of the fingers rather than the nails helps avoid snagging them. Special Hand Problems Need Attention Those who have Jobs which re-quire the use of a pencil for most of their working hours frequently find they develop a bump on their finger. These are not only painful but unsightly. If a finger guard doesn't help, it's a smart idea to get in the habit of massaging the affected finger deeply. If more strenuous measures are required, gentle rubbing with a pumice stone will help keep the bump down. If there's a great discrepancy between hand and face color, this little problem Is easily solved by the use of hand make-up- . This is similar to facial make-up- , and will not come off until washed. There are several shades from which to choose, so they can match individ-ual skin tones. SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS Princess Lines Are Sew-Eas-y Sun Dress, Jacket for Girls I V 11886 !

LYNN SAYS: Select Quality Vegetables By these Characteristics Asparagus when at its best has straight stalks that are from 6 to 10 inches long, with a fresh, green color. Stalks which are thin, wilted, tough or woody or stalks with loose tips are to be avoided. When green beans begin to bulge they are usually too old to be used. They should be crisp and full with clean colored green or yellow pods. The pods are best when they're as straight as possible. Broccoli must be tender, first of all, and it should also have a fresh green color. The heads should be compact. If the vegetable is wilted, flabby, sprouted or yellow, with tough, woody stalks. It's no longer in the peak of condition. Green peppers to be at their best should have a crisp texture and bright color. When pale in color, they are Immature. H they are shriveled, limp or tough, they should be discarded. Ii the skin has any blemishes on it, the pepper is probably decayed. ISHOPPER'Sl CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY THAT SWEET TOOTH TTOW'S YOUR sugar supply? You'll be needing plenty for the canning season that now looms on the horizonl Remember what hap-pened last summer with all that scare buying at the last minute? You thought your grocer was respon-- . . " sible for the short-- filAIN a8e, but the poor (TDFET man had nthing to JfflCCf do with It. The large FEATURE shipments of late summer were go-ing, not to your canning uses, but to sudden mili-tary use, and you had a hard time getting your sugar for canning! That won't happen again, if you're the thrifty, patriotic, wise shopper we know you to be. No . . . you'll stock up now, while supplies are flowing freely to your grocers' shelves, and you'll save some for your canning, by an occasional use of a substitute, and stUl have plenty to satisfy that family sweet toothl Let alarmists warn that the American sweet tooth is public ene-my number one to good nutrition! Let 'em fear that In KWPpts mnv nrrwvA nf tnrn wholesome foods! But I ask you, what younfster, after a long day at school, doesn't have a yen for a candy-ba- r or a large piece of cake, or that after-scho- pickup of an earlier day, bread and butter and sugar? There you've got something! Bread and butter to lepair the day's fatigue, and sugar to stimulate that quick energy for playtime! It is well to remember when you buy sugar not to buy more than you can possibly use. Over a long period of time it will cake and become dif-ficult to use. As to substitutes, what's the mat-ter with honey, which you can find in plenty in both clear and comb form, very reasonably priced? Honey is a natural, food, rich in all the simple sugars from levulose to dextrose, easily digesti-ble by the youngest little stomach. Even the baby's formula accepts it as a milk modifier, say the pedi-atricians. Honey is a safe and wholesome food, too, because bac-teria to which humans are prey, simply can't grow in it. Honey looks good, it tastes good, it is good, and children especially love it. And it's plentiful almost the year around just ask your grocer! It's not for naught you say "busy as a bee." Many homemakers combine honey with other foods. Honev-butte- r. for instance, is delicious on toast or pancakes or waffles. Honey-mil-made by warming the two together, your whole family will love on their breakfast cereal. Honey has a way of bringing out the flavor of fruits, too, especially the citrus variety so plentiful right now. Lemon, as the tartest of the citrus fruits, combines ideally with honey in many ways. Lemon juice and honey in water make a pleasant and healthy eye-open- to start the day; and a honey and lemon sauce on tonight's cottage or bread pud-ding, ends the day with complete satisfaction. That sweet tooth will be so wholesomely appeased, it couldn't even spell public enemy! FRUIT BUYS As the berry-fu- l summer ap-proaches, we can look forward to lots of choices among the fruits. But while we wait, the citrus fruits, rhubarb, pineapples and pears are growing more plentiful and are moderately priced at your store. And to tide you over, your grocer has plenty of canned fruit. Pears, for instance, have a larger pack each year, and various size cans are at your fingertips on the store shelves. The most common size can is 2H, containing about 2 pounds or about 3Vi cups of fruit. Other sizes ' are No. 303, measuring about 1 cups, the No. 1 tall. No. 2, and the little 8 oz. cans for combination with other fruits for salad or compote So look 'em over, and stock up while the supply is good! When talcum powder is spilled on a rug, don't try to sweep it up. That spreads it. Hold you vacuum cleaner over it to draw off the loose powder. What's left can De removed by rubbing the spot very gently with a damp cloth. Rinse the cloth frequently so the powder that sticks will not go back on the rug. If an overdose of laundry bluing results in a stain, wet the spot with alcohol and launder the article again. Should sterner measures be in order, use oxalic acid, but rinse it out immediately. The table for a buffet supper should be arranged in logical fashion so that guests can pick up food in sequence, the drink last. There's something everybody should know about removing stains from taffeta materials. They will respond readily to clean-ing fluids; but poor quality taffeta has a strong tendency to "crack up" after treatment. So proceed with caution and at your own risk.
