Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 144, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 June 1913 — Washing Grimy Hands. [ARTICLE]

Washing Grimy Hands.

Every automobilist who has had to repair bis machine has longed for some way to wash his hands, ordinary soap and water being almost useless as a means of removing the many and tenacious varieties of dirt that gather upon them on such occasions. So chauffeurs and men who drive their own cars will welcome the directions given by that authoritative French scientific magazine, Les Anmales. This paper directs that the hands be rubbed with gasoline, the operation being twice repeated; then they are to be washed in sweet oil or butter, after which a thorough washing With soap and water will remove the last vestiges of dirt. The nails, however, require special attention, and it will repay the automobilist to keep a mixture of benzine and alcohol expressly for the nails.
