Perhaps woman feels more like work
ing in Winter than Summer.
Perhaps she feels more like pitching in
and doing big weeks washing.
But that's no reason why she should
boil her clothes and wash them in hot water.
No reason why she should fill her house
with nauseous steam and run the risk of
catching bad cold.
No reason for reddening hands and
face by hot water and steam.
No reason for breaking her back over
the washtub, hard-rubbing.
No oindeed. Washing with Fels-Naptha
soap in lukewarm water is Just as sensible
in Winter as in Summer.
Let Fels-Naptha save the boiling and
hard-rubbing.
Letit do your washing in half the time
of the old way.
Save your energy for something else.
If you don't know the Fels-Naptha
way of washing by heart, read and follow
the simple directions printed on the red
and green wrapper.
Tells also how to best wash HannelS,
woolens, colored things.

decd TO take part in the unveiling OF this
statue TO General Sheridan. His name will
always stand high on the list OF American
worthies. Not only was he a great gem
era but he showed his greatness with
that touch Of originality which we call
genius. Indeed this quality Of hrllliancc
has hcen I'm one sense a disadvantage to
his reputation for IL has tended TO over
shadow his solid ability. We tend 20 think
Of him only as the dashing cavalry leader
whereas he was in reality not only that,
but also a great commander.
His career was typically American. for
from plain beginnings be rose to tho high
est military position in our land. We
honor his memory itself; and moreover,
as In tho case Of the other great com
manders Of his day. his career symbolize'
the careers Of an those men who in tho
years Of the nations direst need sprans
to the front to risk everything. including
life itself. and TO spend the days Of their
strongest Young manhood In yalorous con-
flct for an ideal often We Americans
are taunted with having only a materia
ideal The empty folly Of the taunt is suf
nciently shown by the presence here to-
day OF You men OF the Grand Army. yot
the comrades OF the dead general, tho mer
who served with and under him. In all
history we have no greater instance Of
subordination OF SELF OF the oxalting Of a
lofty ideal over merely material we'll
being among tho people Of great nation,
than was shown by our own people in the
Civil War.
And you. the men who wore the blue
would be the first to say that this same
lofty Indifference to the things Of the

Yet IL stands alone among wars in this
