her, but that he was not in position to

1t isn't the wearing, but the washing
that sends light clothes to the rag-bag be-
fore their time. The way to stop that is
to wash them with Fels-Naptha soap in
cold or lukewarm water. No boiling to
wea ken their fabric; no hard-rubbing to
wear and tear them. And Fels-Naptha
won harm the most delicate lawns or laces.
Say you have lot of white shirtwaists
and things to wash. Just wet them, soap
with Fels-Naptha, roll and soak for few
minutes in cold or lukewarm water. Then
rub lightly, rinse and hang on the line.
Easy, isn't it? And the clothes will be
cleaner and whittier and sweeter than you
can get them any other way.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper for using Fels-Naptha.
Fels-Napha does all kinds of housecleaning quicker
and better than anything else.
