Anty Drudge Saves Valuable Lace

Mrs. HouseOle-"Here I've boiled and rubbed this lace
and the coffee stains are in it yet I'm simply afraid
to do a thing to it. 1t looks weak already. l
guess it's goner"
A1ty D1Stdge-'Not if you will take my advice But
you've certainly given it cooking. Take that boiler
off the range, fill it with cool water rub the lace with
Fes-Naptha and soak it short time. Then rub it
lightly and rinse it. The stains will all be gone and
the lacell look as good new.''
boil until tender is what all the
cook books say.
Boiling makes most anything tender,
even hard wood.
And that precisely what boiling does
to your clothes.
Makes the fibre tender. Then you
wonder why your clothes tear so easily and
wear into holes so soon.
How else will you get your clothes
clean1
Fels-Naptha dissolveS and loosens the
dirt in cool or lukewarm water, without
3 hard rubbing.
No hot water, no boiling, in summer
or winter. -
It's such an easy way of washing;
makes the clothes cleaner, whittier and purer
and they wear twice as long.
Be sure to get the genuine Fels-Naptha
and follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

heard from today by Mr.. Hitchcock.

Cleary, second assistant postmaster
general, who is a candidate in Mime
sofa for the nomination for the Repub-
lican party for his old seat In the

a Republican to Washington. He ex-
pressed the opinion that Governor
Johnson would not again take the
Democratic nomination.
Representative Slemp, the only Re-
publican in Congress from Virginia,
was at headquarters in company with
Representative Pearra of Maryland.
Both of these members of Congress
urged that work be done in their

be given to certain congressional dis

ccllent chances of winning.

paign, but would not tell how much
it Was costing him. He parted the
questions good naturally and with
great success. He expressed the opin-
ion that Ohio was safely Republican.
