In that country tea was greatly prized,otremark- abl qualities as abeverageand. for the almost religious ceremony attached to the drinking of it. Up to the sixth century, tea was used only for medicinal purposes. Even in the seventeenth century it cost $25.00 to $50.00 per pound. All tea caddies were constantly kept under flock and key. Today when even fine quality like `r SALADA" costs less than .one-third of a cent per cup, it is not surprising that the consumption of tea is increasing tremen- dously.

"Some women actually rub holes in clothes trying to get them clean with harsh, ordinary laundry soaps, which are only half soap anyway. No wonder they say, `Washing is so wearing on clothes'. "The easiest way I've found to wash clothes—easiest on clothes and easiest on myself—is by using Sunlight Soap.
