Labor-saving Soap.

Take two pounds salt soda, two pounds yellow bar soap, ten quarts of

water. Cut the soap in thin slices, and boil all together two hours, and

strain it through a cloth, let it cool and it is fit for use. Put the

clothes in soak the night before you wash, and to every pail of water in

which you boil them, add one pound of the soap. They will need no

rubbing, merely rinse them out, and they will be perfectly clean and

white. This soap can be made for two cents per pound.
