Soaps; Their Cleansing
and AntIseptic Properties.
BY G. w. Walker, Department
of Chemistry, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.

i. + !: X \ !: :: :. :: J. I. !: + !. !. !. :.
Considerable investigation has been
done in the past in regard to the ne
ture of the cleansing power of soap.
1t was formerly thought that the
alkali, set free on the solution Of soap
in water, acted upon the fatty matter
and thus brought about its ready re-
mOval with the accompanying dirt. AS
the result of the work of various in
vestigators it has been shown that the
nature of the cleansing power of soap
is not so simple as formerly thought
1t is now believed that the cleansing
power is due chiefly to the power of
soap, first, in emulsifying oily
substances; second, of wetting
and thus more readily pene-
trating oily substances; third,
of lubricating impurities, as particles
of dirt, also, the fibres of textiles,
thus bringing about the easy removal
strong attraction or adhesion for oily
matter and oils, but low cohesion;
which facts explain to a considerable
extent the nature of their cleansing
properties.
Soaps should be adapted to the pur-
pose for which they are used. Where
not water is used, as in laundry work.
dish washing, ETC., tallow soap is
preferable since it contains the fatty
acids of higher melting point, thus
being more soluble in hot water than
in cold. For toilet purposes, and others
soap rich in oleate, i. e., one made
from cotton seed oil, olive oil, ETC., is
preferable, as the oleate is readily
soluble in cold water
Soda ash and sodium silicate-
water glass-known as filters, are
added to laundry soap; the original
intention being to reduce the cost of
manufacture. 1t is claimed that the
reasonable use of the above increases
the durability and lessons the rapidity
of drying, and at the same time in
creases the cleansing power of the
soap. In undue amounts water glass
is undoubtedly an adulterant. The adj
dition of tale as a filler to laundry
soap, soap powder and milled toilet
soap is plain adulteration, and reduces
the lathering power of soap. Starch,
whiting. marble dust, ETC., when found
in soap, are direct evidences of adul-
iteration. Rosin, frequently found as
an ingredient of laundry soap, is con-
sidered by some as an undesirable in
gredient
A good laundry soap is one that dis
solves readily, fathers freely in both
hard and soft water, contains no free
alkali, and does not contain an e.
eessive amount of alkaline filling.
All soaps have antiseptic proper
ties: that is they retard bacterial
growth, but do not entirely prevent 1t
MS in the case of disinfectants. he
curative property of medicated soaps
depends upon their cleansing and me-
shanical action. which are not superior
to those of any other soap in the re-
noval of dirt and germs.

toned by an Owatonna paper that a
man from Los Angeles was recently
in that town, offering from $50 up for
grade HOlstein cattle, enough to make
a carload; but was unable to find
them. There were good cattle in
abundance. but not enough of the one
kind Had but a few farmers united
in raising Hclsteins only, that car
could have been filled, and the success
of the buyer in filling it would proba-
bly, have brought to Owatonna a string
of other buyers.
Such an incident-but one among
many of the kind, should serve to
awaken Minnesota dairy breeders to
the presence of an opportunity truly

seize it.

Persistent Manuring Adds Greatly to
Value of Land.

Western farmers who expect to be-
some wealthy in their later years, or
hat their children will be made
wealthy, by rise in value of their
lands. such as has been witnessed in
Eastern states, should remember this:
That such an increase in value viii
depend very largely on the degree to
which they shall have maintained the
fertility of the land by careful and per-
sistent manuring. If the land is per-
mitted to become worn out" it may,
like some of the abandoned farms in
New York, lose all value for agricHl-
tural purposes, and sell for less fifty
years hence. than ii will bring today.

REFUSES TO REOPEN CASE
OF RESERVOIR BATHING

There was another echo of the bath
ing incident at the Orange reservoir
today when Douglas Todd, a lawyer.
appeared before Recorder McLaugh-
lin in West Orange Police Court and
sought to have the proceedings
against Louis Itzel, of Monroe street,
Orange. who was fined $3.50 for a bath
in the city reservoir, %reopened. Chief
of Police Bamford opposed the pro-
ceedings, and when Todd declined to
reveal what he termed his new EVIL
dence Recorder Mclaughlin refused
to take up the question again.
At the Orange Council meeting on
Monday night the statement that a
man had been in swimming in the
reservoir was used as an argument to
prevent further fishing permits. Coun-
Gilman Condron insisted the bather
had to remove his clothing after an
involuntary tumble in the water, then
dashed for his hat while naked, and
that this constituted the bathing"
The fishing was stopped, however,
despite the explanation.

FREEHOLDERS WIN
FIGHT WITH TOWN
Bloomfield Asks Permission to
Lay Pipes in County
Road.

The Bloomfield Town Council has
applied to the Board of Freeholders
for permission to install water pipes
in Bloomfield avenue. The applica-
ton was made only after the town
body and the county officials had
been at loggerheads for a long time
over the persistence of the town in
digging a trench without a permit
from the fr~eeholders.
The Bloomfield authorities held that
they had the right, under the water
company's charter, to make neces-
sary repairs to the water system. 1t
was determined at a conference be-
tween the law departments of the
town and county. however, that a
permit from the county is necessary
before a municipality may install
pipes.
Contracts were awarded yesterday
by the Board of Freeholders to James
T. Boylan, of Belleville, to install
a fve-foot reinforced concrete pipe
culvert in Hobart avenue, Millburn,
at a cost of sS27; a four-foot REIN
forced concrete pipe culvert in Hill
side avenue, at sS47, and a twenty
four-inch tile and cast iron drain in
Mortified avenue and Main street.
West Orange, at ST. 05.6S. To ira w.
Meeker the contract for a concrete
box culvert, South Orange avenue
and Short Hills road, Millburn. at

Insurance Company of York. Eng
land, had agreed to insure seven
horses for 1915, and collected a prem
ium of $3.50. The policies were de-
livered July 20.

aroused, he communicated with the
home office of the company and its
Canadian agent, and received word
that McHarg was not connected with

merous people in this vicinity, and

FATHER OF AUTO VICTIM
CANDIDATE FOR COUNCIL
Man Who ScoIded City Officials
Files Petition.

Edward NJ. McDermott, of AZ
Mechanic street, Orange, filed his petit
tioin with City Clerk Willett B. Gano,
of Orange, today as a councilmanic
candidate from the Third Ward. Mr.
McDermott has a wide circle of
friends in the ward. He will seek
the Democratic nomination as success
sor to Councilman Daniel Coleman,
he has filed his petition as mayor
atty nominee. John Kelly has Been
named as a possible candidate for the
same nomination, but with Mr.. Nc
Dermott in the race there may be no
opposition.
MI. McDermott has not previ9usl'
figured in local political affairs. His
son Leo was killed last Christmas
when run down by an automobile
driven by Daniel Dugan. Mr.. Me
Dermott appeared before the Common
Council after the accident and warned
the officials that by neglecting to es-
tablish safeguards at the city's fou-
they were in part response
ole for the accident. His talk ere
ated a favorable impression and the
traffic regulations now established
would make a repetition of the acct
dent an impossibility.
Councilman Charles F. Coyne, Re-
publican member from the Second
Ward, filed his petition for renozni-
nation today. His Democratic OPP
ponent mas not been settled upon
although Edward L. Davis has been
mentioned. The latter may not run
however, and as the Second Ward
is nominally Republican Mr.. Coyne's
friends are confident he will be re-
turned.

STRIPPED NAKED
IN MAD RUNAWAY
Driver Bemoans New Suits
Loss, Instead of Rejoicing
at Escape.

Dragged two blocks by a fright
ened horse. Arthur Wiley, IS years OF
age, a driver for the Arlington branch
IF the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company, was saved from serious in
jury only after every stitch of cloth
ing had been stripped from his body
by rough street pavement.
Far from expressing his gratitude
at his lucky escape, Wiley, when Act
ing Chief of Police John Smith and
John Dougherty, an inspector for
the Public Service Railway Company,
stopped the horse, began to bemoan
the loss of his clothes, which he was
wearing for the first time.
The runaway started in Kearny
avenue, Arlington, at the bridge of
the Greenwood Lake division of the
Erie Railroad. Wiley's horse, which
was green was being driven back
to the tea shop at Midland avenue
and Chestnut street when the Whit
fletree snapped off and falling struck
the horses hoofs. The animal sprang
forward as the harness slipped and
halfway out of the shafts began a
wild dash along the avenue, draw
ing the wagon by one trace.
Wiley, who pulled back hard on the
reins, was jerked from his seat and
narrowly escaping being struck by
the horses hind hoofs, landed be-
meath the wagon. He would not re-
lease his hold on the lines and was
dragged under wagon as far as
Kearny and Midland avenues, where
Smith and Dougherty, who were talk
ing on the corner. ran OUT to stop
the horse.
Smith seized the horses bits, and
Dougherty grabbed the lines from be-
meath the wagon, where young Wiley
was still holding on to them hard.
The horse was brought to a stop
after it had proceeded about half a
block further.
Wiley was practically naked when
his rescuers picked him up. His body
was cut and bruised and there was a
deep cash in his right cheek. When
he was placed upon his feet he gazed
ruefully on the torn fragments of his
suit and began to berate the horse.
the street pavement and everything
else hat had a part in the destruction
of his clothing.
Smith and Dougherty took the
horse to the tea company's stables.
Wiley hiding his nakedness under the
wagons covered top. The driver bor-
rowed clothing to go to his home, S36

WINS
SALOON CRUSADE
BeIleviIIe Council Rejects APP
pIications for New Liquor
Licenses.

AS a result. II is thought, of the
campaign waged by the Rev. Christie
| pher H. Won Claim, pastor of Veg
ley M. e. Church. the Belleville Town
Council last night rejected the six
new applications for saloon licenses.
Thirty-five licenses were issued at a
meeting last week and the new APP
| plications were laid over until last
night.
The Rev. Mr. Won Claim and a
delegation of the Social Service Union
protested at the previous meeting
against the new licenses, claiming
there were enough saloons in the
town. In the meantime Mr.. Vor
Claim interviewed each of the coun-
cilmen, with the result that there
was only one vote recorded against
denying the applications.
When the meeting was opened
Councilman Frank j. Carragher
moved that the application of Daniel
Stranahan for a saloon at the north
west corner of Washington avenue
and Mill street be granted. This was
defeated by a strictly party vote,
four to three. Then Councilman
Frank A.. Cadiz moved for the re-
lection of all applications. Council
man George 1. Byron was the only
one to vote in the negative.
The applications besides that of
Shanahan which were rejected were
those of John Acocilla, of Silver Lake;
Michael LaTerza, Washington avenue
and King street; Christian fischer,
Bridge and Mill streets; Sandy Chris
tan. 70 Washington avenue, and
Michael Raimo, 81 Heckel street.
1t was decided to install twenty arc
lights along Washington avenue at
a cost of S76 a lamp.

WILL ARREST TROLLEY
MEN FOR INCIVILITY

Determined to put a stop to what
he terms i~ncivility on the part of
conductors and motormen in cross
town trolley cars, Orange, Acting
Judge Abbott summoned three of the
Public Service employees today and
gave them a severe reprimand.
The justice said he had occasion
frequently to ride on the cars and
found that conductors and motormen,
particularly on the Valley road Sec
ton, acted ungentlemanly to pas
sengers. He gave them to understand
that he had been promised the coop
Grafton of both General Edwin S.
Hine and the division superintendent
to put a stop to their actions.
According to the judge, a dozen of
the trolley men on one occasion stood
at attention while he passed the car
barns. This, he said, he would not
tolerate. He concluded his arraign-
ment by stating that If he had fur
