Resin in soap is fraud. It makes
peor soap hard and greatly lessons the
cost. Some say that rosin improves soap
because OF the turpentine in il, They
might as well say dry bone makes good
food because Of the meat that was on ii

little lamb fine wool-bearing sheep, the
colt handsome horse, the chickens

farms will be better cultivated and your
homes made happier by il.

ness oi half-dollar. AS soon as the
paste is cold, cut il out in round or square
pieces, and put them till hot and crisp,
