The Different Kind of Soap.
in nutshell, is Fels-Naptha..

Ihe Different Kind of Soap. That,
in nutshell, is Fels-Naptha.
Different-because Fels-Naptha is
more than soap-t is a different way Of
washing.
Ditferent-because Fes-Naptha gets
the wash ready for the line in about half
the time Of any other soap.
Dlfferent-because Fels-Naptha itself
does the work of loosening the dirt from
the fabric, which every other soap leaves to
you to do with the dashboard.
Dltferent-because with Fcls-Naptha
there's no backache: no need for long
bending over the tub, as with other soaps.
Ditferent-because Fels-Naptha saves
the clothes: (1) from weakening of the
fibre by heat; 81 from the wear Of hard
rubbing.
Different-because Fels-Naptha
actually does in cool or ukewarm water
what the best other soaps will not do even
in scalding hot water.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper, summer or winter.

 Elsie Janis in .sThe Fair Co-Ed'' does not do the limitations of we'll known actors and actresses which formed an enjoyable feature of her of George Ade's play she has substi- tuted characterizations of several well known stars as they might play bits entirely out of their individual lines. For instance, she has deli ciously funny travesty on Ethel Bar rynore as she might appear doing a song and dance after the Blanche Ring style. Miss Janis delightful. If somewhat uncanny satire, ought to be at its best in this characterization, providing of course that one can inn agine the dignified Miss Barrymore doing a song and dance under any conceivable circumstances.

 PUBLIC OPINION
MEYER vs. GREENE.
f the Farmer.

Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir-The letter from Alderman Meyer is like a sledge hammer blow falling on the coterie of manufacturers and others who have taken such 2 noisy interest in. the finances of this city just since the last election It shows very plainly that the S23, 900 concerned with the firenen's increase and which has made the heart of every member of the league burn with holy zeal against extravagance. is but a mere hagatelle compared with the sum in yolved in neg'ecting tax equalization. In other words. this precious tax payers league thunders against s23,- lence over the few hundred thousand lost to the city by existing tax dis tribution. Rumor says that many of the buttresses of this new organization would suffer heavily in the event of tax equiliZation. but of course the re- cern, and of burning zeal against mis- use of city finances dissipates this cruel and unjust aspersion-
 MT. Greene made a bad mistake. Letters written officially from any or sanitation should be temperate. con- else. and lacking in the personal note. They should not be of an intimidatory nature nor yet make claim of possess ing control over destiny. This threat was not good taste and every --S HI D-ANeSEcAN ASeANeS H. SS .e down as one bad mark against the Taxpayers League.
 A very small percentage have joined MT. Greene's organization and they do not represent oEe-tenth of the taxpay- CTS. but the row they have made might easily be mistaken for the voice of the people. Why not ask the public to consider the need of starting a real taxpayers society that would embrace all sections and take within its scope this little matter of tax equalization that the others have conveniently for gotten?
