How Soap Cleanses.

A Belgian chemist who has studied
the action of soap on various soiling
substances of different colors has ar
rived at the conclusion that the cleans
Ing OF an object consists in a process
Of substitution. There Is brought
about colloidal combination of the
soap and the soiling substance, which.
by reason Of Its constitution, no longer
has the power of fixing Itself by abb
sorption on to the solid body. with the
result that it Is easily carried away by
the water. Thus In washing with soap
one puts II IN contact with ones soil
Ing substances, these latter having a
greater affinity for the former than for
ones skin. Soap has even greater
affinity for ones skin than for the sub
stances. which II proceeds TO replace
and to set free to be taken up by the
water and removed.
