Wash-Day Hint

Borax, generously combined
with good soap Is natures
greatest cleaOer.
The borax must be combined
with the soap in the proportion
of one part borax to three parts
, soap. Impossible in bar soap.
The only way to put in that
much borax is in the form Of
borax soap chips.
Two pound5 of borax soap
chips, which costs 25c, will go as
far as soc worth of bar soap, and
soap powder.
Borax Soap Chips make the
work easier and the clothes clean
er too!
100 Mule Team Borax Soap
Chips" are sold by leading grocers
here in Portland and vicinity.
