Delicate summer curtains, d-aperies,

things that would be ruined by washing in
the old-fashioned way-can be cleaned at
home with Fels-Naptha as well as an expert
cleaner could do it.
Fels-Naptha contains no injurious
chemicals; nothing that could harm the
most delicate fabric. Sets Colors instead of
making them run as most soaps do.
With Fels-Naptha, use only cold or
lukewarm water-never hot. That saves
the fabric. Hot water would soften it and
cause faying.
Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt; you
dor't have to rub it loose as with ordinary
soap.
More than million women do their

More HOmeseekers Than Ever.
Mr.. Miller was anxious to know
what has been done towards building
the new hotel and whether Browns
vile would be prepared in the fall to
accommodate DOVER twice as many
homeseekers as they had last fall. He
was pleased to learn that two large
hotels or rooming houses are under
construction, in addition to some
smaller ones. He stated, however,
that, while this would relieve the sit
uation to great extent, yet it would
not be sufficient to accommodate all
who will. come. and urged that the
hotel project as discussed by Mr.. Per-
kins with the citizens of Brownsville
be pushed until it is accomplished.

a large sum in advertising this coun-
try" said Mr.. Miller, land special in
ducements are being offered all over
the North to bring homeseekers here.
We are assured that there will be
many more coming this year than
last.
The homeseekers will not start in
large numbers before the early part
Of November, which will put them in
this section when the weather is at
It's best. Instead of remaining only a
day or two as formerly, they will be
