A Chat About Soaps.

A great many people think that any
sort Of soap will do. The function OF
soap being to remove grease from the
skin, they believe that the stronger
it is the better This Is all wrong. A
soap may be good to take dirt from
paint, but 1t is the worst thing posst-
BILE to use on the face.
Good soaps are made from pure,
fresh fats. They are, free from an
coanut oil, and they always lather freely
except when the water Is unusually
hard. CASTLE soap Is a soda soap
made with olive oil. Imitation cas-
tile is made from cocoanut oil IN
stead of olive oil. Cocoanut oil is
but olive oil Is. Therefore purchase
a good quality CASTLE soap il you
buy it at all. It Is not necessary to
get an expansive, imported brand,
however.
"Green soap is a potash soap made
from linseed oil and alcohol. It Is a
soft soap. containing a good deal OF

NV Neighbor Says:

To mend fine lace curtains
starch a piece Of mesh as near

the starched patch one inch

done carefully it will be difficult
to detect the hole.
When polishing stoves add a
teaspoon of powdered 4. alum to
the polish. The stoves will keep
bright twice as long.
A very good and simple way to
clean q gas stove Is to rinse a
clean cloth in warm water in
which a lump Of soda has been
dissolved, then dip it in emery
powder. Wipe the inside Of the
Stove thoroughly.
A few drops Of turpentine
dropped on a cloth and rubbed
over an enameled bed will re-
move dirt and spots instantly
and leave a good gloss.
Never use soap and water for
washing a marble mantelpiece.
Use plain water to which q little
ammonia has been added, and

Finally they had to give up, and they
were more puzzled than ever
1t was very clear that these things
had been stolen at night, so 1t was
arranged that that night they should
take turns watching. Some screws
and bolts were left where they could
easily be seen in the moonlight by
any thief who might come looking for
them. Then, as had been planned,
the men took turns in keeping
watch. OF course they hid where
they would not be seen, but where
they could see all around the air.
plane.
No one was seen, but those screws
and bolts were gone when daylight
came Each man insisted that he
didn't go to sleep while he was
watching. OF course, each suspected
that one or the other had gone to
sleep. Screws and bolts couldn't
walk off of themselves. Some one
had taken them. There was no doubt
about that. The result was that very
little work was done that day; those
parts were sorely needed. So 1t was
planned that that night two men at
time should keep watch. They
were to watch each other as we'll as
the airplane, to make sure that none
went to sleep. A more puzzled lot
of men never lived.

II ever there were puzzled men
those men were the workmen who

The loss of those screws and nuts

pairing the airplane. 1t meant that
unless they could be found some one
would have to go many miles to get
more. 30 mucn time was spent hunt
