HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Saving in Soap

COAP Is such small item, apparently
~ representing only few cents cost,
that II hardly seems possible that the leak
age on this item alone would run into many
dollars during the year in the average
household. Here is list of common wastes
Of soap. DO they occur in your household?
First-Leaving bar of soap in the bot
tom of dlshpan or scrub bucket while
using these utensils. This does not soften
the water any more than IL needs, and the
same effect can be obtained by beating the
soap in the soap-shaker half dozen times
and then laying It away, Permitting bar
of soap to remain in the water not only
wastes that much soap. but 1t softens the
soap so much that 1t can be used only a
short time thereafter.
Second--Buying soap in small quantities
two or three cakes at n time Soap takes
up little room, and. as II is regularly used
every day II pays to buy two or three
dozen cakes at time and keep them stored
In cool place. You are sure to save a
few cents on such purchasing, and the
total saving will mount up astonishlngly
Third-Paying for soap according to size
not weight. II is easy TO judge which soap
Is the best value, and for ordinary house
hold purposes the best is a cake of small
slze-so that It can be held in the hand
convenienty--but fairly heavy The heav-
Ter the cake the longer It will last.
Fourth-Using scented soaps. Scented
and colored soaps are generally more ex.
pensive and usually they have little value
Tar soap Is the possible exception. as III
color and scent are natural and not harm.
full. Green soap, too, especially in liquid
form. is desirable for the bathroom, as II
is antiseptic, and should be used frequently
| for the hands.
Fifth--Uslng one kind of soap. or possi
| bly, two kinds. for all household purposes
| As there are 80 many uses In the household
/ for soap. and as these uses differ widely
| II is easy TO sec where there is waste 4
| only one or two kinds of soap are used
| For example, some soaps being impregnatet
with turpentine or naphtha. are highly do
sIrable for the cleansing OF clothes But
naturally. they cost more than ordinar,
/ soap, and therefore should not be used ex
| cept for their one special purpose. Sucl
/ soaps should never be used on the skin.
