Women who wash clothes with
Fels-Naptha soap are discovering new uses
for it every day. One woman has Just
written us that it is the best possible thingto
clean porcelain bathtubs. So it IS.
Also marble washstands, bowls, tiled
floors, linoleum, windows, woodwork
everything in fact which has washable
surface.
Fels-Naptha soap not only Ioosens the
dirt so it can be wiped off with cloth, but
diSsolves it as we'll, scattering it into tiny
molecules which run away with the wash
water.
Even the human grease which collects
about the sides of a bathtub after hot
bath-iS dissolved by Fels-Naptha so
thoroughly that none will adhere to the
wiping cloth.
Don't use hot water in cleaning things
with Fels-Naptha. 1t isn't necessary.
Fels-Naptha will do the work better in
cold or lukewarm water.
Follow the easy directions on the back

DOING IN CONGRESS.

The assembling Of Congress
which met Dec. I was pulled
off without any unusual Incl
dents. There was little
nervous and chilly feeling

leaders on account of the un-
certainty of Speaker Cannon

gress. 1t is reported however,
on good authority that Mr..
Taft has practically surrender.
ed to Speaker Cannon and this
is very likely in view of the
fact that all of the great cor
porations and the wealthy in
terest were vigorous support
ers of Mr.. Taft during the cam
paign and those w h q
contributed money, and other
wise secured his election are
entitled to consideration, they
think, regardless of what the
people want or get. It is be-
lieved that the Republicans 8
will make something of a bluff
at revising the tariff and that
it will be revised more upward
than downward. In the hear
ings now going on before the
Ways and Means Committee
which has charge of all tariff
bills, the protected interests
that are already fully protect
ed, are not satisfied with mere
protection and have admitted
that protection is not what
they want but larger profits,
that is they want the Govern
ment to give them a license
for unlimited robbery of the
American people and so the
people thus can this way, en-
joy the benefits that they voted
for on the third of last Novem
ber.
1t is said that the Republi.
cans are trying to forget that
they promised to establish
postals savings banks and a
parcel post delivery syetem as
this would bring the Govern.
ment into competition with
other powerful interests that
supported Taft and would thus
bring a big fight on the Taft
administration. AS Republi
can promises and platforms
are made more to get in on
than to be fulfilled, it is not
likely that these reforms will
be carried into effect.
