HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
LAUNDRY SOAP
20. 1922. Harland II. Allen.)

How shall we choose soaps? The
problem Of finding really good soap
for daily use is Of no small impor-
tance. when we consider the almost
constant need for soap in the home,
and what considerable monthly and
yearly expense that single item may
be.
In the first place, 1t Is good plan
to use only soaps put out by reliable
firms. 1t is never an economy to use
cheap and poorly made soaps in the
laundry. And we must not make the
mistake of thinking that one kind OF
soap will answer for every purpose.
Soaps are classified into mild, me-
dium and strong, according to the
amount of free alkali present. Nearly
every home laundry should be equipped
with at least two of these, and very
probably you will need all three. Neu-
trail or mild soaps should be used for
woolen materials, delicate colors and
all fabrics which even the smallest
amount of alkali might injure. A me-
iium soap is best for durable fabrics.
A strong yellow soap is all right for
overalls and mems work clothes.
The yellow or dark brown color Of
soaps is generally due to the presence
of rosin. 1t is hard to say just when
rosin added to soap ceases to be an
advantage and becomes Objectionable.
In small quantities II is believed to
help whiten the clothes, but too much
will yellow the clothes, and forms a
sticky scum in the wash-boiler, which
settles into the clothes and may cause
trouble in ironing. You can generally
tell whether rosin has been added In
excessive quantities or not, by the
peculiar resinous odor. and by the
sticky feel of the bar when handled.
The presence of too much free
alkali Is also serious, even In a strong
soap. It is hard on the clothing and
hard on the hands. There are several
good tests for excess alkali. Soap
statesmen try for 1t by holding bit
of the soap ON the end Of the tongue.
Alkali Is very caustic and will bite.
Many housekeepers learn to recognize
It's presence by the shriveled. drawn
and dried-up feeling of the hands
after using. A safer plan. as well as
cheaper, Is to buy good mild soap,
and then add the washing soda your
self to the water, If more alkali
seems desirable.

Attribute Their Success to
Newspaper Advertising

In an interview today, Mr.. Warren
Wright, President Of the Calumet
Baking Powder Company, strongly ad-
vocated the use Of newspaper adver-
tising, and points to Calumet's sue
cess as proof Of his statement.
Calumet sales are 2h times as
much as any other brand" stated Mr..
Wright, "and we attribute this to our
lavish use of newspaper space. We
believe that the newspaper is the most
direct medium we can use In getting
our message across to the housewife.
and we know from our experience COW
ering thirty years that the housewife
will respond to newspaper advertis-
ing quicker than she will to any other
form of advertising.
'1The housewives have confidence In
newspaper advertisements because
they know that the newspapers set up
high standards for their advertisers.
1t Is for that reason that the house
wife looks to the newspaper for in
formation on products in which she
Is interested"

Psychology of the Christmas Stamp

The Christmas stamp Is compar-
atively a modern means Of raising
funds for charitable relief. 1t has
been widely used by charitable or
CARNATIONS for specific drives or
on certain holidays.
Recently, however, IN the trail OF
the European War, there has been
relief given not only in the old
fields but also in those countries
usually considered most prosper
GUS, and the relief stamp has be-
come a fixture In much relief work
Of wide scope. In line with this
DR.. J. A. Morehead, executive d.
rector of the National Lutheran
Council, 437 Fifth Ave-, New York
City, announces a new Christmas
holiday stamp issued in sheets Of
ten, at one dollar a hundred, for
use generally on letters and pack
ages. The funds derived from the
sale of this stamp will be used by
the Council for European relief in
places where the need is greatest.
The stamp bears as its motto
statement Of the first Christmas
gift made to all the world: "God
So Loved The World That He Gave
His Only Begotten Son."
"The National Lutheran Council
has found the Christmas stamp
very successful in the past" said
DR.. Morehead. "There are many
people who take real pleasure in

these stamps requires.
at is not like q big gift once
made. 1t IL in . sense a continuous
giving, and we think that it has
thus a splendid psychological ef-
feet upon the people. After all,
giving is a habit Of thought, just
as is the unwillingness to give, and
any system Of giving which re-
quires the constant repetition in
the mind Of the will to give is Of
great benefit to the particular
cause, to the individual giver, and
to the organization under whose
auspices the gift Is made. 1t comes
eventually to the old maxim that
to think right is to do right, and
the use Of the holiday stamp con-
stitutes a most effective training
in right thinking.
"Some one has said that the
Christian ideal is a sum total OF
righteous habits. OF these not the
least is the habit Of giving to re-
lieve suffering.
Europe today is filled with suf-
fering, and for those who suffer
the condition is extremely hard to
bear, because 80 much actual want
exists among peoples heretofore
considered the richest In ths
world"

Sees Parents Interest Best Guard Against Bad Movies
By NEWELL DWIGHT HILLS.


The most direct road to the in
tellect and memory Is through the
gateway of the eye. Multitudes Of
our people receive the truth slowly
through the written word but
swiftly through the movie.

ance of responsibility to two OF
three censors, in city or state, but
the awakening of millions Of par
ents to the duty of safeguarding
every day the child's health, the
child's friends, the child's reading
and the child's entertainment. One
Of the signs of the passing Of SEN
sational pictures, with the era OF
parental neglect, is to be found in
the new civic committees Of the
