SOAP Is ANCIENT.
It Was Used by the 'Gaus as Dress
ing For the Hair.

Who invented soap? That it is not a
modern convenience is we'll known, but
just when it came into general use is
a mystery.
In Biblical times cleansing agents
were used. The books of Job and Jer-
emiah contain the word soap" But
this is merely convenient use of the
word in translation. The Hebrew word
''borith,'' for which it was substituted,
is Il general term for cleansing sub
stances. What those substances were
is unknown, but they were probably
little like the modern soap.
Pliny speaks of the invention of soap
by the Gauls, who, however, used it
only as sort OF pomade or hair dress
ing. He also refers to the use OF both
hard soap and soft soap by the Ger
mans. The use of fuller's earth, which
has Saponaceous qualities, for cleans
ing purposes was known to the Ro-
mans.
The French word for soap, sayOn,
comes from Savona, France, where it
was manufactured The first manu-
facturc of soap in London is said to
have been in 1924, and previously Rris-
tot had supplied it for use in the Eng
liSh cities.
According to the historian Sismondi,
soapmaker was included in the reti-
nue. of Charlemagne, king of the
Franks, at the end of the eighth cen
fury,
In the excavation of the ruins of
Pompeii soap boilers shop was un-
covered. with soap in it. showing that
the making of it was known in the first
| Christian century.
Pliny. who wrote of the eruption of
| VeSuyiuS, which destroyed the two Ro
man cities in 20 y. D., stated that soaI
was made from tallow and ashes and
that the German soap was the best
Galen also referred to the use of soap

KEEP The COMMANDMENTS
Message S. T. Martin Brought to Con-
creation Last NIGHT.

The revival services at the Memo
rial Christian church were well at
tended last evening. a song service
preceded the regular meeting and J.
H. Davis sang a beautiful solo, Not
Tonight" and was followed by a short
testimonial meeting. Evangelist S T.
Martin spoke on the subject. "A Rich
Man Lest" and 1t was d strong appeal.
He spoke of the rich young man
who came and asked Jesus what he
lacked, to which Christ replied: Keep
the commandments" TO which tbs
young man said: "AIl these have |
kept from my youth up" Christ said:
"One thing thou l2ckest. go sell what
thou hast and give to the poor, and
take up thy cross and follow me-"
| Mr.. Martin said it did not mean that
we were to give up our wealth. only
so far as wealth or other sins which
came between man and God. Mr.
, Martin asked how we thought our
! lives would compare with this mans
/ life. Could we say we had kept all
the commandments? At the close Of
| the service three men came forward.
At the service tonight Miss Crissman
win sing. Sunday is to be made a
great day. Special work is being done
! for a large mems meeting for 5 O'Clock.
