{Ne TOILET SOAP, 't

wilderness of sweets" In the course of our
travels, however, we enter series of rooms
from which "breathes all the perfumes of

healing detergent qualities of this soap are
too well known to be especially referred TO

Among the interesting appliances OF this
department, are the curious SOAP engines
into which the bars of equal weight are
placed and received by powerful compres-
sion. without loos OF weight their peculiar
oblong form with rounded corners, and the
imprint of excellence "Babbitt's Best Soap. ;
These beautiful cakes are placed in racks in
imm ense quantities and whon dry are wrap
