Fashion Ideas and Household Hints
GOOD SOAP AND BAD SOAP.
Demands of the Kitchen Require Use
OF More Than One Kind.

Demands of the Kitchen Require Use
OF More Than One Kind.
1t is not uncommon to find some Tor
eign. insoluhle substances in soap.
which have been added merely to in
crease its weight and bulk. says Cor
nell teacher. In cheap soaps resin is
often added as an adulterant. 1t Is
rather difficult to say when resin may
be considered an adulterant, for In
small quantities it is of value in laun-
dry soaps because it whitens the cloth
ing. Resin gives brown color TO
soap: therefore dark brown soap may
safely be rejected as containing an
excess Of resin.
The best rule for the housekeeper is:
Select soap manufactured by a reliable
irm and give it a trial. 1t is not econ
omy to use cheap, poorly made soaps
in the laundry. A common mistake is
to think that the use Of one kind or
soap will prove satisfactory for all pur-
poses. This common belief possibly ac-
counts for much Of the dissatisfaction
that exists regarding the various soaps
on the market. In the manufacture
of soap, when just sufficient alkali Is
used to change completely all the fat
present into soap. the soap Is known
as a mild soap If an excess Of alkali
is used either medium or a strong
SOAP is produced, the degree Of strength
depending on the amount Of free al
kali left in the soap.
A mild soap should always be used
when the presence of even small
amount Of free I've would be injurious
in washing flannels, wooden goods or
fabrics either frail or delicate in color.
A medium soap should be used for the
more durable colored goods A strong
soap is best for most white goods, both
cotton and linen.
A soap manufacturer says that the
toilet soaps need drying and ripening
lust as much as coarser soaps.

assembly Of the northern Presbyterian

disapproval of all secular uses of the

CHURCH DEMANDS
SOCIAL REFORMS


SAVANNAH, GA. Nov. To-day S
SESSION of the South Georgia Methodist
conference was enlivened by the report
of the committee on temperance and
social reforms, Rev. G. NJ. Ledbetter,
chairman which paid its respects to the
divorce evil, the white slave traffic and
the Illegal sale of iutoNlcauts
The report was drastic in its recon-
mendations To church people to check
the growing tendency to divorce and
the corresponding lowering of the moral
tone of the country. and called upon
the congress OF governors and the
Southern Sociological congress to use
their influence in having q law passed
by the national congress regulating the
granting of divorces in all the states.
The report also dealt without gloves
with the traffic in girls and young
women. and held the parents i'm part re
sponsible for the downfall Of their
daughters because Of the hesitation in
informing them of the dangers they
face. The report denounced automobil-
Ing as leading in the wrong direction,
the fascination for this amusement
causing girls to so out with strange
men. 1t also denounced the acceptance
Of unknown and untrled men into the
social life of the homes.
