When you buy soap. the only
way you can tell how much
you're getting for your money
is by the weight of the pack
age. Size means nothing. A
large carton full OF soap flakes
or bubbles can contain actually
less soap than a carton of White
King Granulated Soap half its
siZel
That's because White King
Granuiated Soap is condensed.
1t packs closely in the carton,
like sugar And it's absolutely
pure and safe {. for blankets,
dishes or lingerie. It's made
from fine vegetable and nut
oils.
White King Granulated Soap
is not only the safest but the
most economical soap you can
buy. A little of it goes a long

-YOUR CHILDREN
Ry Oliye Robefls Rsrton

One of the most heinous sins left out of the commandments Is lying to our children. I suppose there isn't a parent living who, for req sons best known to himself, has not fibbed at one time or another to his offspring.
 It may be that 1t Is justified in a measure sometimes where the good of the child over-balances the question of honesty, but such oc- casions will be rare. The plain Tact Is that most people feel privileged to play fast and loose with truth fulness where their children are concerned.
 AS 1t happens, have come across whole avalanche of promising mothers, threatening mothers, and nondescrlpt mothers who make pitiful victims of their children particularly their smallest ones This is especially irritating to me because little folk are so trusting, so easily misled and fooled.
 A Promise to Be Broken 'I don't want to go to bed!" "Oh, yes, darling, do go to bed. If you do and promise to go right to sleep like a good boy, I'll buy you something nice tomorrow. I'll take you along when l go to mar ket and will stop at MT. SchultZ's toy store"
 The next morning is quite an- other story. Aside from the brib- cry which was wrong in the first place, there Is the broken promise. Small Billy kept his part of the | bargain, went up dutifully to bed and tried his best to sleep. His first thought in the morning was about the boats and airplanes at the marvellous SchultZ's, but his mother is amazed that she Is ex- pected to keep her word.
 You said! You said." whimpers Billy. You promised could go along and you'd get me something.
 Never tell me what I said, re- plies his mother impatiently. Lit tie boys don't know about things 1 cant take you. so shut up."
 Billy starts to cry, stop that crying--instantly, Do you hear? ITd be ashamed" But Billy, con fused, hurt and disappointed, can not dry his tears. If you don, stop I'll punish you. You cant have any dessert tonight"
 He'll Get Ills Just Desserts
 She knows very well that she isn't telling the truth--that Billy will have his share of the peacf cobbler. The threat of course is merely not knowing what else tt do in the way of discipline, bu it is also q form of untruth. Like bribery not lived up to, it becomes q more serious breach of confidenc' when 1t is empty with falsity.
 Such q mother sometimes bragg that she has never punished hel children. yet 1t Is d cruel sort O punishment indeed if her chilt loses faith in his mothers word. am not merely recommending tha she carry out either her promis' or her threat-I am insisting tha she make neither In the first place There are good promises and bat ones, of course; threats. too. ma. be allowed occasionally If they ar in the form of legitimate warning but untruth has little eScuse at all It Is not rare---this method of dis cipline among children. tnfortu nately 1t Is the commonest thin on earth.

SISTER MARY'S KITCHEN.

If you are taking a motor trip through strange sections of the country, beware of impure drink ing water. In cities the water IS carefully guarded for purity, but in remote country district and yll- lages there sometimes Is inadequate supervision of the water supply.
 Clearness and palatableness do not guarantee purity in water and much discomfort, if not actual Ill., ness, may follow drinking impure water. Contaminated water is a great disease carrier. so unless you are sure 1t Is absolutely pure, take the precaution of boiling 1t or use distilled water.
 Water which has been boiled for 20 minutes Is sterllZed and safe for drinking. The intense heat of boiling drives out air and until air again mixed with the water. 1t will

GLoRIFYING
 .YoURsELE.
By Alicia Hart
8l3N ~ NEA s<!Sy ''

The profile angle to beauty thta comes in with new hats makes mouth makeup quite different.
 When girls faced the world with a brat of a little hat back on their heads and eyes straight and lips parted with excitement. 1t was right and proper to center makeup right smack in the center of the lips.
 Now, with the interesting view profile, the corners of the mouth are more interesting than the cen- ter front. You must be expert Tn the way you trace your lips right to the outer edges.
 There is art to be learned In the makeup of lips. Some women who have no suggestion of dimples in the corners of the mouths under stand how to make lipsttck i'm prove them. Others with quite full, thick lips, achieve q certain appearance of delicacy just because they know the art of lipstick ap- plication.
 The rule for lipstick this sum mer, under the new hats, is to con- centrate all the art you have on the corners. You can safely as- sume you will be noticed more from the side view than from the full front. Make your mouth up accordingly. This means not to have a vivid blob right in the center and let the rest of the lips go. Some mouths are best treated when lipstick does a disa ppearing act at the corners. Others need 1t put on more expertly and fully there. You can look at yourself in the glass and see which type mouth you have.
 By and large. the full-lipped mouth loses some of It's fulless If you smooth the lipstick right out to the very ends of the corners. Have 1t even all the way. Let the corners be as bright as the center. Wide mouths, pig mouths. with lips not necessarily thick but wide, should have the rouge dwindling of before quite reaching the corners This makes them seem daintier more in tn espirit of the new mode | in hats and dresses.
