A solution of sodium hypochlorite was found to answer these conditions perfectly and under the name of Jakin solution became famous in war hospital work. Peace JimiT experimenting showed his same solution possessed remark ib'e cleaning and stain removing sowers. Tea, cofTeo, fruits, vegetable ;r.d hundreds of other stubborn stains :ould be removed without difficulty from white cotton and linen garment without injuring the fabric. The stains which are so hard to remove from baby clothes would vanish as if by magic and there was the added satisfaction of knowing that this non poisonous solution also exerted a sterilizing action which left the gar ment absolutely sanitary for further use. A highly concentrated form of Sodium Hypochlorite is now available under the abbreviation "SO-HY". Complete directions^ are on the bottle and new uses are being discovered daily in countless homes. What, per haps has pleased women the most is that after they have usecf SO-HY their hands have not been roughened or reddened as would be expected from a powerful cleaning solution but on the contrary have been left soft and smooth with all traces of stains removed. SO-HY is available at up to the minute drug, grocery, and department stores, and once used rapidly becomes indispensable around the home. was re-elected twice and was nomi nated for a third term in the June primary.

OUR BODIES ARE ROBBED All of these essential Minerals and gases lire present in natural foods but improper cooking and an unbalanced diet rob us of these vital elements. The system becomes charged with acid. Indigestion and Constipation follow. We become nervous and irritable; subject to headaches, fail to get the proper rest at night, bccome weak and listless and good health deserts us. NATURE DEMANDS HELP When any of th" -ssential Min erals are deficient, N iture demands help. Harsh laxalives, "patent" medicines and "pain killers" won't do. You must feed into the body those missing elements that Nature demands.
