SCRAPS OF SOAP.

Never throw away a scrap of soap, however small. It may be utilised in a surprising number of ways. If it happens to be a thin wafer of tallet soap put it aside till you have another wafer, or perhaps two others, of the same kind. Then put them in hot water for # minute to soften them slightly, press them together, and you wil have a cake that is quite usable.

If, however, the scraps are too small and broken for this purpose a collection of them may be placed in a jar standing in pan of bolling water and left there till the soap line melted. Then add Home fine oatmeal, allowing barely
