A Word
About Borax Soap.

BoraX costs more than
soap. There is no induce
ment, therefore, for soap
makers to use it for profit.
Borax softens the wash
water, and leaves the hands
soft and smooth.
Consequently it is a good
thing in soap.
The so-called borax soaps
rarely contain borax in suffi-
cent Quantities to be de-
-cctcd or beneficial.
