HOWEVER, THAT CAN HAP
PEN HERE so let's do our share in
saving each little scrap of soap that
has as much as lather in it. First,
buy your soap for purpose. Most
homes need soap for three special
tasks. For toilet use and fine laun-
dering such as shave and shampoo.
for your Saturday night special and
your best stockings. You also need
soap for dishwashing and heavy
laundry and last but not least you
need a securing powder.
AS FOR TOILET SOAP, it is
well to remember that the first job
Of soap is to clean. Claims that a
soap can make you beautiful or
hold your husband is, of course,
just advertising. A too high priced
soap smells little sweeter and is
put up in fancier wrapping with
maybe piece of ribbon thrown
in, but is certainly no better as a
cleansing agent.
FOR LAUNDERING PURPOSES,
bar soaps are yellow Or white. A
yellow soap often contains more
rosin which makes for quick lather-
ing but may leave sticky deposits
but also has more soap content,
hence may clean better. White
soap is not quite SO good a buy as
it has water glass added which
holds large water content. 1t is
more commercial to buy quality
soap without any softener, and add
your own softener such as borax if
YOU live where the water is hard
THERE ARE SECURING POW
DERS AND securing powders.
Some contain a great deal of abra-
sive, most are in powder form.
Prices vary with the brand, At all
price levels buy ordinary whiting
at little cost to use as securing
agent where soap content is not
necessary.
FLAKES, POWDERS, CHIPS,
granules are forms Of soaps, but
the form has little to do with its
effectiveness. They are more con-
|venient and therefore morS expen-
sive. After you have bought your
soap wisely you want to conserve
it wisely Here are some soap saw
ing tips.
BUY SOAP IN LARGE quaint
ties rather than a bar at time
This is always an economical prac-
tice in all of your purchases. Then
unwrap your bar soap and let it
dry out. Drying removes the
water, and soap thus treated will
last indefinitely 1t will harden,
and as a rule hard soap lasts
longer.
DON'T LET SOAP STAND IN
WATER. If you should happen to
let bar melt, giving you thick
ropy mixture, put it into a jar and
use up bit at a time. Keep your
soap dish dry. Water standing in
the dish shortens life of soap by
keeping it moist and soft.
USE YOUR SOAP SCRAPS. Dis
solve the leavings of toilet soap for
shampoos. For your dishpan get
yourself soap saver. That is a
little gadget from the five and dime
store made of wire which snaps
shut to imprison the bits of soap,
and with a long handle for swish
ing it in the dishpan. If you want
to be really clever, cut your big
bars in pieces to go in the soap
saver. They will last twice as long.
SOAP WILL CLEAN everything
but sin, and as for me / hope it's
around long time. A grimey
world along with the rest of the
trouble would be more than we
could bear. Let's do our part to
see that it does not happen.

Although this may sound like
