this time forth means an entire change In
doing all laundry work.
Think Of 1t! from now on no soap is re-
qured to do the family washing when Eos
the Elixir Of Soap is used.
Eos (the Elixir OF Soap) is the product and
discovery Of fifty-six years of successful soap
making. No discovery in recent years Of
any preparation fer laundry use and general
purposes has created the sensation and en-
thusiasm that Eos has.
1t may be Justly termed the great revolu-
tionizer for all washing purposes, for both
the laundry and toilet.
Among the claims made for Eos. which
Messrs. James S. Kirk & Co. stand prepared
to prove, are the following:
That it will soften the hardest water; 1t
will keep bluing from curdng in the water.
Flannels and woolens washed with this
most valuable preparation will positively not

This preparation must not be confounded
with the ordinary soap powders, for while no

all consumers of soap must eventually use 1t.
1t is for the babys fiannels and woolens:
it acts as a strong antiseptic for invalid's
lsnnels, woolens and linens.
Eos saves 100 per cent of soap, which
means that absolutely no soap Is required
when Eos is used, and saves also 60 per
cent OF labor.
