Uses for Soap.

Before driving a nail or screw into hard wood run it into a piece of soap. It will then go In as easily as if it were soft wood, and you will see to your joy that there will be no danger of the wood splitting, as is often the case. If your door sticks or bureau drawers do not run smoothly, rub the edge with dry soap, any kind, and they will move more easily. v This also can be applied to the cord of a "stuck” window with immediate results.
