FACTS ABOUT SOAP.
Chemical Properties Of the Rapid
Washerv Variety.

Chemical Properties OF 1UC ndPt1
Washer" Variety.
That those who buy soap by weight
choose dry and hard kinds to avoid
purchasing water is advised by cor
respondent quoted in the Lancet. This
writer. q well known English physi-
clan. says that while investigating ex-
penditures at a large London hospital
he found that large quantity of soft
soap was being used and that as this
contained considerable percentage of
water the institution was paying a
very high price both for water and for
soap. To quote the Lancets article:
"He suggests that the best and most
economical soap for the purpose is dry
soap powder, especially when used in
conjunction with water softener or
with borax Forty tons or SO of soft
soap, he adds, were used some little
time ago at the launch of new Gu
harder, but they who manage such
things would never think of paying the
price hospitals pay, nor do railway
companies or hotels.''
An eminent firm of soapmakers also
writes to the same paper that old fash
Toned soap made with tallow is much
superior to that now generally used.
To quote again:
1T would appear that in order to
make an oil soap hard enough to form
a bar 1t is necessary to introduce into
it large proportion of cocoanut oil or
palm kernel oil. These two oils hith-
erto have formed the basis of the so
called NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cocoanut
or palmk kegnel oils absorb a much
larger percentagesof caustic alkali than
does tallow. and so it is evident that
the rapid detergent properties of these
soaps are due principally to the excess
of chemicals which they contain. 1T
seems to US, therefore, time to send
warning note to the public to induce
them to return to the good old fashion
ed soaps of their fathers-soaps which
washed but did not destroy the clothes
or irritate the skin, and, although it is
claimed that the oil soaps can be used
with less labor, their destructive prop
critics should not be lost sight Of
While on this subject we should like
to ask why the most refined of all
soaps-namely, olive oil soap-unless it
is specially. asked for, is hardly ever
supplied to the public. One difficulty
at least will very shortly have to be
faced by the soapmakers who employ
cocoanut oil and palm kernel oil for
the preparation of the rapid cleansing
variety of soaps, and that is that these
oils are being very largely used for ed
ible purposes, and there can be little
doubt that modern ingenuity is such
that they even masquerade as butter
1t is probable, therefore, that this fact
will tend to raise the price of these oils
unless a chearer substitute is found.
Such substitute has not yet been dis
covered ''-J # .rary Digest.

to say, as Schwab says. that they can
not do government work at a profit.
But with one accord they fight to pre-

Why? The government has its navy

Schwab won't build ships for us. there
seems to be no reason why we should
not build them for ourselves. If We

a profit, perhaps the nation would save
money by attending to its own ship
building.

SEEK CURE FOR AILMENTS
GREAT CROWD GATHERS AROUND

Chicago, March 14-Rachel Fisher,
twenty-six years of age, was seriously
injured in the crowd of people who
thronged around the bier of John AL.
exander Dowie at Zion City In the
hope of being cured of their ailments
by touching the hem of his shroud.
Miss Fisher who is suffering from
locomoter ataxia, kissed the hem of
the shroud and then informed her
father, who had carried her into the
room, that she could walk. She pushed
him away and attempted to descend a
flight of stairs leading to the outer
air. She fell on the top steps and
rolled to the bottom. where she was
picked up unconscious and seriously
bruised about the head and body.
She was only one of many who
thronged into the house during the
day. All of them sought relief from
thoir ailments by touching the hem
of the shroud.
