armer: How can I make
. bars of soap from bits and scraps and
slivers 7 M B , Pittsburgh, PA
' Place the scraps in a shallow pan in a
f\ moderate oven When they are melted
™ down, stir them to mix the colors and let
them cool and harden Then cut into cakes The cost of the energy needed to
melt down the scraps, though, will be more than the cost of new soap
Home Hint: Remove tar from hands by rubbing with lemon or orange peel then
wiping immediately
