Detergents Work Okay,
With Caution
There are detergents advertised
on today’s market for practically
any cleaning job—from cutting
stubborn grease on a mechanic’s
hands, to discouraging fleas on the
family poodle.
They work too, in most in-
stances, but State Health Officer
Geo. W. Cox has this word of
warning:
“Make sure you follow the di-
rections to the letter. Otherwise
you could end up with a discom-
foiting case of “housewives
eczema.”
These so-called “soapless” pro-
ducts have found wide favor with
housewives for washing clothes
and dishes. No doubt a good bit
of their popularity is due to high
ipowered advertising, including
decorative boxes featuring happy
ladies hanging the washing or
putting up dishes which the pro-
duct has cleaned all by itself.
Dr. Cox identifies the active in-
gredients of these products as
chemical compounds which act to
lower surface tension of water,
making it more penetrating and
able to get through grease and dirt
to break it up and keep it from
resettling.
Many brands contain special
purpose ingredients, such as am-
monium salt, which make the com-
pound bactericidal.
A duck is supposed to sink like
a rock in water containing some of
these detergents, probably because
the “wetter” water gets through
the oil in the duck’s feathers—
which is the reason a duck is ordi-
narily water proof and able to
float.
It stands to reason, Dr. Cox
points out, that if these compounds
will cut through grease and film,
and there is no doubt that some of
them will—they will also penetrate
the natural oils of the skin and
cause irritation and discomfort if
the condition is neglected.
The health officer’s recommen-
dation: Keep some hand lotion
within easy reach and apply it
liberally after using detergents
for household cleaning or laundry.

lecord Receives Gift
)f Texas-Sized Eggs
The Record editor is in receipt
this week of an unusual gift—a
dozen eggs. What makes the gift
unusual is that the dozen eggs
were encased in only a half-dozen
eggshells.
Mrs. J. G. Rothfus is the donor,
and her white Leghorn hens are
responsible for production of the
huge double-yoked eggs. The hens
think nothing of their accomplish-
ment, Mrs. Rothfus said, and do
it quite often.
