SOapOids.

Do you wash? 1t is well-knOwn
medical fact that scrubblng the face
and hands with chemical detergents is
absolutely ruinous to the delicate outer
fabric of the skin. You would not pour
a can Of petrol on the side of an aero
plane to make it go, would you? Why,
then, attempt to open the pores Of the
cuticle and keep them working by the
external application of saponaceOus
tablets and other inferior frauds OF
the kind? Beware of these as you
would Of a poison.
Water is equally dangerous. Why is
it that you meet so many people ev-
cry day in the street with gray smut
stained faces and toil-begrimed hands?
Simply because they abrade and de-
stroy the elegant envelope with which
nature has provided their bodies, in
stead Of treating it nationally from
within. The only way to be clean is
to swallow soapoids, with their wonder
full internal operation ON the fibers and
nerve tissues. However dusty or grit
" you uldy Ue, oue uOeS VI SOdpOluS
will set you right. The pores will
spring open and shed off the unnatural
accretion of foreign substances as a
snake sloughs it's skin.
Think, too, of the time and money
you will save. No more tedious ablu-
lions and ruinOus water rates. You
can swallow your soapoid as you walk
to the office and De as bright as a new
pin.
Our final word is If you have been
washing, stop It; II you have not, don't
begin. Spare your epirdermis, and
swallow soapoids. Try natures way
and be clean.-Punch
