Never Risk Heafth and Clothes.
Mrs. Nerdorvabor—" Good morning, Anty Drudge! Can
you lend me a cake of Fels-Naptha soap? When I earns
to do the wash this morning, I found that I did not
have any in the house. The grocer told me he was
sold out. He offered to send me over some other kind,
but I think too much of my clothes and of my health
and hands to accept any substitute for Fels-Naptha. M
Anty Drudge—“ You are perfectly right, my dear. Never
risk those ‘just as good’ soaps. Wait here a mia
ute, and I will get you a cake of Feis-Naptha. ”
It’s all right to “bake like mother used
to bake.’’
But don’t wash like mother used to
wash.
I hat was the hard way. Mother, her
self, doesn’T wash that way any more. She
has found a better way, the Fels-Naptha
way.
Instead of boiling the clothes and
wearily rubbing them on the board, you
place them in cool or lukewarm water, soap
with Fels-Naptha, roll tightly and allow
them to soak about half an hour; rub light
ly, blue and then rinse.
our hands don’t crack and get red;
your clothes are saved from the wear of
boiling and hard rubbing; your family is
not driven frantic with steaming, wash day
smell and you save about half your time.
Not only this, but Fels-Naptha does
the work better than it can be done by
the old, boiling, hot water method.
Follow the directions on the red and
green wrapper.

Bob and Jim were two .iaeks-of-alj

together.
one morning Bob came round to
Jim's house at the early hour of 3. and

feet of it' before the authorities were

"What-ho!” cried •Pm. "Let’a im."
Their destination reached, they
climbed to the top of the chimney, an,l
soon masses of brickwork were falling
to earth.
A man who lived near wan distorted
by the noise, and started to make a
fuss.
"Here, Bob,” cried Jlm, "yon otlmh
down and quiet that fellow. Keep him
talking while I finish this job up here "
So Bob climbed down and engaged
the Indignant person tn conversation.
Suddenly Jim heard Bob calling to
him. and. looking down, saw the friend
gesticulating wildly and beckoning him
urgently tn come down. So down Jim
came
"What’s the matter?” he asked.
"Let’s go home, Jim, thundering
quick: we’ve been pulling down the
wrong chimney!''
