SOAP From Clay.

Clay in the "colloidal FORM" when
suitably prepared, may be satisfactor-
lily substituted for a large proportion
Cup to about 80 per cent? of the fatty
acids in soap. Matter may roughly be
said to be in the "cOllOidal form" when
it is in an extremely fine state of sub
division. AS clay IS cheap and soap
relatively dear. the substitution of clay
in this form for the fatty acids pro-
duces notable reduction I'm cost. The
clay is a real substitute for soap. and
not an adulterant. Hot solutions of
colloidal clay soap form iellies on
cooling and thus this soap not only re-
sembles ordinary soap in appearance
but in cleansing properties ii is said
to be even better than pure soap. De-
velopments of this interesting dlscov-
cry will be awaited with interest,"
