tried everything, but TO no avail. What
caused it and what can be done for it?

gether. This canno injure your skin.

few questions, but I am afraid you viii
put any name in the paper. How to
make soap jelly is one of them.
Do not fear. Your name Will not go
in the paper. For soap jelly. melt a
cup of good soap, shave fine. and when
it is in liquid form add a little glyce-
ire. Let cool. This is one recipe. An
other is to melt the soap in sweet oil.
The one n a cheaper one
is to add half a pint of water to a cup
of shaved soap. To this add a tea
spoon of borax powder and five drops
OF benZoin. Take off and pour into a
wide mouthed jar and use as needed.

nor eggs. Live ON the grains and the !
vegetables for awhile.
