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.
