Stains are the great trial of woman
who does the family wash in the old way.
Coffee stains, fruit stains, egg stains, occa-
sionally blood stains, and many others which
defy all ordinary soaps and hard rubbing
as well. In despair, the housewife boils
the clothes until their fibre is softened and
weakened, but even then the shadows of
the stains remain.
Such stains are easy for Fels-Naptha
soap. They are but minute particles of
colored matter clinging to threads of the
cloth. The Fels-Naptha dissolves them
into tiny atoms which can't cling to any,
thing. A rinSing separates them from the
clothes entirely The stain is gone, Ieav-
ing the clothes clean, white and pure.
And mind you, all this is done in cold or
lukewarm water, without boiling or hard
rubbing. Fels-Naptha does not in the
slightest degree harm the fibre of the cloth
as boiling does. No other soap, no matter
what it is called, will take out stains with
out boiling. Be sure to get the genuine
