Why did your grandmother boil dirty
clothesi To soften and loosen the dirt.
That's the only way she knew. Now
Fels-Naptha soap will do the loosening
better in cold or lukewarm water.
Fels-Naptha is an invention, same as the
telephone or sewing machine.
The up-t o-date woman uses
Fels-Naptha because it saves her the trouble
of boiling clothes or heating water and
makes hard-rubbing unnecessary. Then
her clothes are frcsher and cleaner than if
washed in the old-fashioned, boiling way.
Here's the way to do your white things
with Fels-Naptha; Soap, roll and let soak
a short time in cold or lukewarm water,
then rub lightly, rinse and hang on the
line Try it once.
Be sure to follow directions on the
rcd and green wrapper.

ian down and killed a boy named
Daipre at Neuilly. Mr.. Baird, who
was driving a 75-horsepOwer six

maintains that the accident was I'M
a~vOidable. He had turned out of the
road to avoid a heavy van when the
boy suddenly stepped out from be-

brakes could be applied.
After the accident Mr.. Baird mar
roWly escaped death at the hands of

by two Englishmen. Mr.. Baird was
beaten and twice knocked down be-

Through the intervention of Con-

was released pending the investiga-

Mr.. Baird undoubtedly will be Grim
