What is your secret, your precious method?” ask women eagerly of those who have had good for- tune in caring for their skin. - The answer is very simple. The skin of almost every girl is natunlly beautiful, soft and exquisite. But household duties, outdoor sports, the careless use of harsh soaps, damage naturally lovely skins. To Southern women goes the credit for discoveting how to keep hands beautiful. They learned that frequent rinsing, all through the day, after each slight soiling, restored the whiteness of their pretty hands. Surface dirt could not intrude and stay and coarsen the pores by working in. 4 special soap for pretty hands Southern women found a soap with the special mild, cleansing lather which they wanted. It's called Octagon Toilet Soap. A purewhitesoap witha faint clean fragrance. Try Octagon Toilet Soap for your hands. Nox night and morniog only. Not once AT YOUR DrALeR'S NEVER MORE THAN 10c or twice a day. To care for homes, to shop and motor, means constant soiling of the hands. Rinse frequently—eight times & day. As often as you takea drink of water. Every time you take up some new task. Few soaps are mild enough to use 8 times s day. Use Octagon Toilet Soap— so mild and pure its cleansing lather that it alone is safe to use so many times. The special lather lifts off the dirt. Then rinse the soap away and behold! Your hands are smooth as silk and lovely white. How to tell a real good soap Some soaps form a “skin" when you are half way through the cake. Other soaps get soft and mushy. But Octagon Toilet Soap is the same all the way through, generous in all waters with its clean, abundant lather, yet firm to the end of the cake. And Octagon Toilet Soap is full meas- ure.
