According to tbo ancient tradition the
ground hoe will emerge from bis hole for
tho first time on Stuurda , February 2,
Candlemas Day. After shaking himself
and stretching the wrinkles out of his hide
he will whisk around a while and look for
hit shadow. If he sees his ri'flec.lon lie
will re enter his hole and slumber peace
full for six weeks more, and winter will
then commence In earnest. If the " var
mint" does not see his shadow he will re
main out, and an early spring ma be looked
tor. This Is an old-lime superstition and
many look upon It as gospel truth.

The percentage of uncombiiied fat in the " Ivory" fs very small,
hence the lather i.1 clean. Wiittc and abundant, with entire absence
of oil or grease. There arc no injurious substances.
The above considerations show the "Ivonv" to be a pureaoap
