More white things are worn in the sum- mer-lawns, Aannels, muslins and so forth. That means more washing. Likewise more hard work-unless Fels-Naptha soap is used.
 Fels-Naptha simplihes summer washing and does 1t more satisfactorily No hot fire IS needed. That means a good deal when the thermometer is 90 in the shade.
 Fels-Naptha does the washing thor oughly in cold or lukewarm water. Cold or lukewarm water saves the clothes. Boil ing and hot water weaken clothes so they tear easily. .<. .....
 Fels-Naptha will not harm the most delicate fabric. Neither will 1t injure light colored things which could not be washed safely with other soaps or in hot water.
 The advantage of using Fels-Napsla soap is the Fels-Naptha way of washing.
 Don't cook your clothes. Use Fels-Naptha. It does the work better in cold or lukewarm water.
 Follow directions on the red and green wrapper.
