Cream Separator A cream separator is a machine you will use twice a day for 3GG days in the year and you should see to it that you get one that is conven ient and durable so that in the years to come you will not be compelled to look back and say, "I wish I had bought a high-grade machine like the Iowa in the lirst place." ' An Injurious Habit. "Now I know why your eyes are po often Inllamcd," said the trained nurso to a friend whom she saw at her type writer. "Four times whPe I have been talking you have rubbed your eyes with those Kerm laden tinkers." The plrl. who wrote in white gloves to save her nerves, was quite uncon scious of the habit, yet the danger to her eyes was none the less icat. It Is the unconst ions rubbius that makes work for the oculists. Most of us are careful enough when we know we have been exposed to contagion. It Is dally, when all seems well, but dan ger lurks, that we prow careless. An old doctor, now dead, used to tell the nurses under him: "Ion't let your patients rub their eyes If you can fight them out of It. When you can't struprfjle longer, teach them to use the buck of the wrist rather than the fin ger tips." This Is such good advice It should be passed along. The back of the wrist Is equally effective Jn removing Irri tation in the eye, but has far fewer germs than have the ends of the fin gers that are constantly touching dis eased surfaces.
