' History has it that soap was discovered quite by accident. In ancient days the Romans sacrificed animals on top of Mount Sapo and the animal fats mixed with the ashes were swept down the hill into the river below. 1 Roman women found that at a particular spot below this hill, their clothes were more easily washed clean in the river. Subsequent investigation proved that fat plus an alkaline ash formed something that lathered and made washing easier. Thus the name sapo is, named for the hill, and what we call soap. Soap as it is made today is still the combination of fats and oils and alkali. Soap must dissolve in water before it can lather, and when dissolved reverts partly back to the original form of fat and alkali. Superfatted or cold cream soaps contain -extra amount of fat which may make the soap somewhat less irritating. But these, too, contain a certain amount of alkali which is released when the soap is used. An oily skin may need cleansing with ordinary toilet soap several times a day, while a very dry skin, particularly on hands which have been irritated by strong soaps, may not be able to tolerate soap at all for a time. For the person with dry skin, frequent use of cold cream, and complete avoidance of all soap and water, may be bene- - ficial. It may be necessary to use what is called a soap substitute. Actually these substitutes are chemical compounds which clean effectively, lather well, and do not have an alkaline action, which is the trouble maker for certain skins. However, they are all powerful detergents and this point must be remembered when using them. They may cause skin trouble as readily as soap. All soap solutions are alkaline, even if called neutral soap. Toilet soaps are ordinarily made of vegetable and animal fats and oils, and may contain olive oil, lard, castor oil, or palm kernel oil. Sometimes cereals and proteins are added, such as egg albumen or casein, which some authorities agree are of value. Superfatted soaps contain materials intended to overcome the tendency of soap to dry the skin or defat it. Lanolin is one of these products. The need for body cleanliness cannot be over-emphasized and there is no reason why, no matter what the degree of sensitivity to certain products, that a substitute cannot be found to help the cleansing process of the daily bath. The body is constantly exuding oils and secretions which, if ignored, will create unpleasant odors. This is particularly • true of perspiration in the area of the armpits. Since frequent bathing may not be sufficient to cope with excessive perspiration, a deodorant is not harmful, provided that the individual is not allergic to the specific product. Promiscuous use over the chest and back is not advised, however, since sweating is an important mechanism in regulating body heati. Daily habits of cleanliness should be included in everybody's kit of common sense. Attention to good grooming embraces such things as a clean body, clean hair, and the areas beneath the nails on the hands and feet, clean teeth and clean clothes. Watching these details will keep you fresh looking and free of the odors so often encountered in personal contact, whether it be in the office, the school room or the home. MYF News Last Sunday we went to Woodstock's M.Y.F. meeting. Mr. Edwards gave a talk on his trip to Europe. He told us mostly about the churches in Europe, but he also told us of a few of his funny experiences while over there. In the bathrooms they have two cords, one for the light and one for the maid. One night when he was real tired from a long day he pulled the wrong cord and it proved to be quite an embarrassing expedience. We had a candle-light service and then refreshments and recreation. March 27 we are going to Wauconda for a square dance and box social. The girls should bring a box lunch for two. We will meet at the church at 6 p.m. Betty Wright, reporter Museum Opens Exhibit, "Conquest Medical Of Pain" Give your lawn a beauty treatment while it is still brown and un-beautiful, and it will respond in a manner most rewarding!

Lohr, museum president. Entitled "The Conquest of Pain," the exhibit Was designed under the medical direction of the American Society of Anesthesiologists and is presented in the public interest by Abbott Laboratories. The exhibit's purpose is of pain -- That it is not something to be feared but rather that pain is nature's way of indicating danger. The exhibit's purpose is threefold: 1. To explain the nature of pain, that it is not something to be feared but rather that pain is nature's way of indicating danger to the body. 2. The surgery today is no longer a fearful experience for the patient. 3. That the doctor's increasing ability to control pain and sustain life plays a major part in today's spectacular operating room accomplishments. The first section, of the exhibit gives an understanding of pain and its vital functions in the human body and to show the progress made by medical science in pain control and alleviation. Pain, the exhibit explains, is the most important sense the body possesses for it acts as an alarm to warn dangers to health and survival. Where the other senses (vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, heat, cold and balance) biing knowledge of the world) outside the body, the sense of pain brings knowledge of danger from within as well as outside. • This alarm network of the, body actually is composed ~ of two systems; the "somatic?' which warns of danger from outside such as a burn, and the "visceral" which indicates some* thing wrong within the body such as a headache. Dramatizing how the nerves and the brain act as an intricate, communication system in delivering, analyzing, memorizing# sending and receiving a multituc^J of messages is the giant figure of a man made of steel and dra4 matically lighted which serves as the introduction to the ex* hibit.

The exhibit warns that quick action may be necessary when new pain gives such a warning -- pain with or without obvious origin. Prolonged pain and severe pain which increases rapidly are especially important warnings and should be given prompt attention by medical authority as self-diagnosis here may easily prove fatally wrong. In another section of the exhibit an eight foot plastic man demonstrates what happens within the body when a burn is experienced. As the visitor contacts a dummy "hot .plate," the plastic man touches another and the course of the resultant "pain message" is traced by means of flashing lights from the hand to the brain to the. muscles controlling the arm so that the whole chain reaction of Involuntary reflex is apparent. Visitors will also look into an operating room amphitheatre to see life-sized models of the surgeons, nurses and anesthetist at work. By operating manual controls, the visitor will be able to give different kinds of anesthetics to an anatomical model.

Ethylene Gas * HUrts Pot Plants tomato plants might help you decide why your house plants aren't doing too well. Gi<M.. Fosler, floriculture specialist at the University of Illinois says ethylene gas can hurt your pot iplaiits, although some plants are .much more resistant to it than others^ Even though you use a gas stove or furnace in your home, ethylene gas may not be present in the air. Only manufactured gas is high in ethylene; natural gas has a very low ethylene content. Fosler recommends putting a young tomato seedling or two with your house plants, because tomatoes are especially sensitive to ethylene. They will soon tell you whether there is a damaging concentration of ethylene gas present If the leaves of the tomato plant tend to arch or curve downward abnormally, you can be fairly sure that ethylene gas is doing the damage. Tight connections and^ careful regulation of oil, coal and gas burners for proper combustion will reduce the jjrol^ability. of gas injury to your house plants. Only a very small amount of gas escaping Into the air (far less than can be detected by smell) may prove harmful.
