FAVOR LOCAL OPTION
FOR THE DISTRICT

Members Of Congress who have kept
close to District OF Columbia legisla-
tiCn are rapidly swinging toward the
decision that the peope Of Washington
should DO allowed to decide by their
own votes whether prohibition shall
prevail in the District.
Members OF the District subcommittee
OF the Appropriations Committee and
some members OF the House District
Committee have come out with the de-
claration that it seems only fair to
allow the people of the community af-
fectCd by such legislation 20 say wheth-
er or not they shall have it put upon
them.
Samuel " Smith or Michigan, the
now chairman of the District Com
nittee. said today:
1T looks as II the sentiment In Con-
gress IS that the people should decide
the matter. For myself. am decided
y open TO the argument at this time.
The Commissioners, L suppose. would
be able to draw up a plan for voting
on the question"
So far. there has been little work
done among Representatives by the
temperance people, and il IS thought
that their campaign for prohibition
will nos start until after Christmas.

If you hired a girl to do the washing,
you wouldn't do it yourself while she sat
in the parlor, would you? That would
be ridiculous.
Then, when you get a cake of
Fels-NaPtha soap, use it the Feis-Naptha
way and let it do the work. # you use
Fels-Naptha as you would other soaps, you
are like the woman who does the work
herself while her hired girl plays the piano.
A woman who uses Fels-Naptha as if it
were just soap, instead of new way of
washing, is misguided or foolish.
The directions on the wrapper are plain:
Use Fels-Naptha in cold OF lukewarm
water, with no boiling and no hard rub
bing. That's why Fels-Naptha was in
vented, to do away with boiling and hard
rubbing, save fuel, save health, save time
and save the clothes. Make Fels-Naptha
do your work for you while you play the
piano. Follow the directions on the red
and green wrapper.
