soap book. Look here"

and filled his hands with water. The
leaf began to dissolve into suds. Soon
it was quite melted away and the
young man was washing in rich and
creamy lather.
Each of the leaves of this book, "
he said, "is a thin strip of good, pure
soap. Could there be a handler, clean

heat Of the summer months. Lard
melts these days with rapidity which
is startling. and the consumer VIII not
buy lard which flows like water
Many merchants who sell q great
deal of this article Of commerce have
been guilty OF mixing IL with cotton
seed oil and one or TWO other ingred-
tents and still sell 1t for the real stuff.
The Health Department is prosecuting g
every man who IS discovered selling i'm
pure lard. Several cases have already
been brought before Judge kimbaIl.
Many more warrants win issue before
the summer IS over If the practice con-
ttuues.
There is no objection to any merchant
selling this mixture OF lard and cotton
seed oil mixture" or substitute,

day, and violate no law. When he sells
the substitute as lard he IS expressly
violating the pure food law Let the

Department.
An analysis Of the samples of so
called lard collected by the inspectors
