A generation or so ago, if a woman
had an errand she walked-She had to,
there was no other way.
Later she could do it in half the time
by riding Now she can do it almost
instantly, by telephone.
That's Progress, and Progress is made
possible by science.
FelS-Naptha is science applied to the
washday problem, and it's results are just
wonderful.
Formerly washday was time of sick
ening odors, back-breaking labor, disor-
dered house and the Severest test on the
clothes. This was necessary. There was
no other way.
The Fels-Naptha wash day-the
scientific washday-iSn' washday at all in
the old sense; merely an incident in the
routine of household duties.
And if directions on the red and green
wrapper are followed. the result is certain.

Niagara Falls, Ont, Dec. 22.-An- other aspirant for honOrs as the man who went over Niagara Falls has ap- peared in the person of Robert LeLach. of Chippewa. His plan is as simple as any of the others and but little different.
 Leach is having two immense rub Der balls constructed. one thirteen feet, the other eleven feet in diame- ter. The smaller one will be held inside the larger by spiral steel springs. Into the smaller one he will crawl and it will be pumped full of air. In this curious craft he expects to safely navigate the perils of the Falls
