Homemade Bath Sponoe.

Here is small economy for cleanu-
ness and comfort in the bath. says the
Popular Science Monthly. AS is we'll
known, larg% spongas soon break NJ
and become useless. and, again. they
are subject TO being clogged up h.
impurities which are now recognized
to be due to microbe growth within
the sponge This is difficult to rem
edy in the case Of a large sponge "A
new idea is to assemble snail pieces
OF sponge in a bag so as to give about
the same shape as an original large
sponge. The bag can be made Of Tur-
klsh toweling or any suitable ma
terial Thus all small pieces Of sponge
can be utilized and can be kept clean
easily.
