Isn't that a record for Fels-Naptha to
be proud OFF Then there's the saving in
health, in the wear of clothes, and in lots
of other ways as we'll More than mil
lion women are using Fels-Naptha every
wash-day.
It takes Fels-Naptha in cold or
lukcwarm water about half the time it
would take by the old-fashioned hot-water

your white clothes with Fels-Naptha, roll
them and let them soak for 30 minutes.
Then give light rub, rinse thoroughly,
and hang on the line.
No hot FIRE to blister your face, no

The Sensitive Person,

Over -sensitivencss is real affiic-
tton. If INDUCED, it paralyzes activity
and makes the subject of it shrink
from doing anything at all lest he be
criticised by friends or enemies. He
is always uncomfortable and makes
others feel uncomfortable. To cure
himself he must practice externalizing
his thoughts. II criticised, he must
ask himself whether the criticism is
just or unjust. If just, he must learn
to accept and act upon it; If unjust,
he must learn to classify the critic as
unreasonable. thoughtless, or i'll
natured. place him in the appropriate
mental compartment, throw the criti-
cism into the intellectual waste basket
and proceed upon his way. This prac-
tice. difficult at first. will, IL assidu-
ously cultivated. become more and
more automatic. and will materially
modify a fruitful source of worry.

Mystery of a Seed.

L am not so much of a farmer as
some people claim, but have observed
the watermelon seed. 1t has the DOW
er of drawing from the ground and
through itself 100000 times it's weight:
and when you can tell me how It takes
this material and out of it's color forms
an outside surface beyond the imita-
tion Of art, and then forms in It a
white rind and within that again a
side of red heart, thickly inlaid with
black seeds, each one Of which in
turn is capable Of drawing through
itself 100000 times its weight-when
you can explain to me the mystery of
a. watermelon, you can ask me 10 ex-
plain the mystery of Cod" says Will
liam j. Bryan ...

Did You Ever Think

That kind word put out at inter
est brings back an enormous percent
age Of love and appreciation:
That though loving thought may
not seem to be appreciated. it has YET
made you better and braver because OF
it?
That the little acts of kindness anG
thoughtfulness day by day are really
greater than one immense act of good,
ness once year?
That to be always polite to the peo-
pie at home is not only more ladylike
but more refined than having com
pany manners?''
That to learn to talk pleasant,
about nothing in particular is a great
art. and prevents you saying things
that you may regret?
That to judge anybody by his per
sonal appearance stamps you as not
only ignorant but vulgar?

The Happy Woman.

The happiest women in the world
are the busy ones. They stir around
and hustle and are filled with ambi-
tion. They get tired out once in a
while and say they want to loaf, but
that's only the idea Of a moment.
Lots of women are busy in ways that
they shouldn't-they are busy talking
end nasging and worrying other peo-
pie. Those are the ones who get old
quickly, and the talk lines appear in
their faces. Energy and real work
keep one young Then ones brains
don't rust, and no matter how fast the
world may progress: old busy girl is
right there in the first ranks of the
parade.

was an occasional symbolical float and
now and then a section swung by in
men. They represented every stage in
life, from the millionaire down through
the various social strata, to the hum
blcst artizan. Less than a. score rode
in carriages. Rank after rank march
ed by shoulder to shoulder and eight

Daniel Webster wrote the following
good advice to his grandson: you
cannot learn without your own ef-
forts. All the teachers in the world
can never make a scholar of YOU II
you do not apply yourself with all
your might BE Of good character and
behavior. a boy Of strict truth and
honor, and conscientious in all things

and faculties. and. He will surely call
you to an account"
The Irish standard., 1908-06-06
We all make mistakes sometimes

and we may expect criticism. The
man who does nothing at all may
escape criticism, but such as he never
contribute anything to the worlds
progress. The point is not to allow
criticism to drive ones mind in OH
itself. Criticism is healthy if taken
in the right spirit. 1t can be classi-
fled and used or rejected as the reci-
pient chooses. 1t is not the criticism
tnat hurts; it is the way it is taken.
