Explained by Anty Drudge.

Little Miss Rompabout-"Just look, mamma, tore my
frock'
Mother-"Good gracious and that frock just new Only
washed twice!"
Anty Drdge-"Just those two washings made the tear
possible. You boiled the frock, you do ali your
Clothes and that softened and weakened it's fiber If
you had used Fels-Naptha in cold or lukewarm
water the fabric would not be half rotten and ready
to give away the first time it caught in anything"
White clothes are made of vegetable
fbres, cotton or flax. Boiling affects them
the same way it does other vegetable mat
ter, as potatoes or cabbage. 1t softens
them and weakens the fibre. Boiling will
soften even hard wood.
By this you can easily see how your
clothes will wear out quicker and tear
more easily if you boil and hard-rub them;
Wool, which is an animal fibre, is softened
Just as the fibre of meat in boiling.
FelS-Naptha will cleanse your clothes in
cold or lukewarm water without any boil
ing or hard rubbing, and there isn't a
single thing in it that will harm the goods.
Your clothes will wear twice as long,
and they'll be whittier and cleaner all the
time. Try cake of Fels-Naptha and see.
But use it the Fels- -Naptha way, according
to the simple directions on the red and
green wrapper. They'll tell you how to
wash all kinds of clothes with, Fels-Naptha;
wash dishes, clean floors and do many
other things with it.

THE SPHINX.
Nothing by Which We Can Accurately
Tell its Aoe

Nothing by Which We Can Accurately
Tell Its Age.
The great sphinx of Gizeh bears no
Inscription by which we can tell its
date. III 1916 Caviglia, who In mod
ern times was the first to clear away
the sand, found between its paws a
stella Of the reign of Thothmes w.,
and therefore 1t was believed that the
sphinx was carved by that monarch.
But In 1855 the excavations of Mari
cite uncovered stella bearing the
name of Cheops, on which Is refer
ence to the sphinx. The inscription is
evidently of late period, but Is sup
posed to be an exact copy Of an an
cient carving, and the translation seem
ed to place the sphinx earlier than the
pyramids and consequently to prove it
the most ancient piece of work in the
world. Still there remained four lines
carved on the base which could not
be read, but NJ. Daressy deciphered
them. and 1t appears that the inscrlp.
ton Is In two parts. In the earlier
lines there Is no mention Of the sphinx,
but the lines which date from the Per-
sim occupation mention the repair of
the sphinx. There is, therefore, moth
ing by which we can tell the date Of
the monument, and the only evidence
we have Is the headdress of the Colos-
sus. Its hood is ornamented behind
with three bands, a large one between
two smaller bands. Now, this is a.
fashion which only existed toward the
end of the twelfth dynasty in the
reiSns Of Usurtesen III. and Amenem-
het III. AS this family showed much
zeal for the god Harmaklin, whose por-
trait the sphinx is, 1t is probable that
the monument is the work Of Amenem-
het III.-London Globe.

THE WALRus ON LAND.
It ls just About as Helpless as /:
Canalboat Would Be.

II 10 Just About as Helpless as a
Canalboat Would Be.
AS might be expected, a walrus is
about as helpless on land as a canal
boat. 1t is with no little difficulty anu
much hitching and floundering that he
drags his huge bulk upon sandy shore
even with the boosting he gets from be-
hind by the breakers as they roll in
and dash against him. His hind flip
pers are of little use on land, and on
sand or pebbles, where his front flip
pers do not hold well, the labor of
fioundering forward is so great that he
never stirs beyond the edge of the wa
ter and usually lies with his body half
awash, with the salt spray dashing
over him like torrents of rain. On
solid rock or ice he gets along much
better, and often herd will spread
several rods back from the waters
edge.
The females and younger walruses
have far less development of neck to
incumber them and therefore enjoy
more freedom Of motion than the old
males, who actually seem great bur-
den to themselves. These creatures are
strictly social in their habits and al
ways go in herds, whether travelling,
feeding, fighting or resting ashore. In
the days before the slaughter of all
living creatures became ruling pas
sion In the breast Of man the Pacific
species inhabited the whole of Boring
sea and strait in herds which often
contained thousands and even tens of
thousands of individuals.

The week was about all that could

sunshine and rainfall in the larger
part of the state. The mean tenn
perature was slightly above the
normal. Generally clear and fair
weather prevailed from Monday to
Friday, and the balance of the week
was partly cloudy, with frequent
and beneficial showers in all dis
tricts. Conditions were favorable

corn, and the time was we'll improv-

part of the corn acreage is now re-
ceiving its second blowing, and the
color is normal. The stand is re-

of the best seasons. In we'll cult

satisfactory. Meadows are showing
material improvement, and pastures

chautauqua Attractions

Ifeyer there was man with a
messageit is the Right Rev. Mgr. j.
Henry Then. His lecture, Foot
prints on the Sands Today" is one
Of the most powerful addresses ever
heard on chautauqua platform.
Although deep and eloquent, Mgr.
Tihen's lectures are far from being
dry. Humor quietly but frequently
breaks out at unexpected places and
he frequently has his audiences in
roars of laughter.
Peter Mcqueen is the old original
travel lecturer and keeps his lee
lures up to the minute. He is max
ing big hit wherever he appears
and it is safe to say that the people
here will appreciate him.
A man must be terribly in earnest
to leave his pulpit and go out with
overalls and jumper to earn his
bread with his hands as Rev. George
L. McNutt did. Mr.. McNutt still,
spends part Of each year as a
toiler with tollers and knows the
labor problem from start to finish.
United States Senator Norris
Brown is an Iowa boy. He was born
at Maquoketa and worked his way
through the state university, and
then went to Nebraska, where he has
met with decided success at every
turn. The people decided last fall
that no one could better represent the
upper house of congress than this
young man from Iowa. Heis still a
boy at heart, but his wide experience
in politics gives him the right to talk
with authority on "The Government,
Who Owns lt?" After YOU hear
Senator Brown you may have diff
ferent idea of your share in the ma
ton than now.
These are by no means all of the
talent that is to be in Manchester
and even these that are mentioned
deserve more space. Every one of
the lectures and concerts to be given
here is a -notcher, and the pro.
gram as prepared can scarcely be
criticised in any way. xxx

A COOKING Episode.

The people who know it all are so
tiresome that the verdant simplicity
of the novice in everyday affairs is
absolutely refreshing. Here is an in
cident about young woman who was
making her first essay at housekeep-
ing. A friend had sent her by mail Il
recipe for some new kind of bread,
giving her directions to take portion
of the dough ut IL time and make 1t
into the requisite form for baking.
This seemed explicit enough, but what
was the surprise OF the friend to re-
ceive u telegram from the young house
keeper to this effect: what shall do
with the rest of tho dough? Please
answer"
