If it were only to save women who
wash clothes from getting red and chapped
hands in Winter-time, Fcls-Naptha soap
would be great blessing.
Most everyone knows that putting the
hands in hot water is what makes them red
and rough. Then, when exposed to cold
air, they crack and chap.
With Fels-Naptha, you use only luke
warm water. Your hands don't suffer.
And yet Fels-Naptha clcanses your
clothes more thoroughly in lukewarm wa
ter, without boiling or hot suds or hard
rubbing, than any other way of washing.
Not only the white things, but WOOL
ems, hannels, colored fabrics.
Fels-Naptha is the very best soap to
wash with all the year round.
1t is especially good in winter.
Try it. 1t will save your health, save
work, trouble, fuel and discomfort.
Follow the simple directions printed
on the red and green wrapper.

cal in spite of the fact that they
were moral Where pulpits were NOT
Welded, however-and most of them
were yielded-the ministers withhold

people there was in favor of the en-
forcement of the laws. Just what

commission Bywater says he tries to
enforce the law, but when the cases
