RECIPE For SOAP Jelly.
Economical Way ot Using Up the
Waste Scraps.

Take as much soap as will be re-
quired and cut it down in shreds.
Put 1t into a saucepan and just cover
It with hot or cold water Allow the
soap to melt slowly over the fire until
1t is quite clear and without Jumps.
Do not fiji the saucepan too full. as
soap is much inclined to b0il over
The soap may be put into a Jar in
stead Of a saucepan and melted IN
the oven Any scraps of soap may be
used In this way. 1t is better to make
soap jelly fresh each week, as it loses
its strength If kept many days,
Remember that the odor and taste
Of soap viii cling very tenaciously to
anything with which it comes in con-
tact, 50 that the knife and board on
which it was cut, also the saucepan,
ought to be kept for that purpose only
